So today I started the backward step to OEM to see if it improves my running.

My Hawk not been mapped and to me has never run 100% smooth. The previous owner had had a Japspeed in wing 'Cold air' intake fitted.

Quick call to Matt and I have a complete OEM intake and snorkel on its way, into which I will put a Cosworth panel filter.

My guess it will improve the running with a proper AF mixture that the MAF can deal with.

I will get back to you on the results, non scientific of course

 

id say 100% thats an issue.

 

+1

 

you may also need an ecu reset.

 

Ahh ok, did not realise that would be needed

Or are you pulling my leg

 

would i do that

but im not.

 

it's not in your nature

Thanks again

 

I'm amazed tbh , you been on here a few years & post frequent ...
Only today you realise you may have a running issue involving a cai
On a stock car with no scaling or tweaking involved to compensate your AF
I swear this site gets stranger by the day lol

 

Nah its not only today, I have known this for a while, and not really got round to doing it, the car has been sat in the garage for 6 months doing nothing, now i finally go my **** in gear to fix it

 

Hg failed??

 

Hasn't had chance too, not my daily driver now, done less than 100 mile in the last 6 months.

still the HG must go at some point, I feel like Captain Hook, not Sparrow with the ticking I can hear all the time.....
