That's what I have now, just not Kracka brand.

I still have the PCV on the main can so not sure if having a check valve before and after the can is hurting anything or not--it certainly fills up fast enough. As you know, the PCV on the X is the hose fitting on the valve cover. I've thought about removing that and finding a straight-thru fitting for it.

Mike,

I did realize that is what you had already, it is not uncommon to have mutiple vents on the valve cover, maybe just adding a second port would be work? Just trying to help, id just hate to see you spend money on something that may or may not work well.

Yeah, Ron mentioned that as a possibility. I am just not so crazy about testing theories that involve drills. That also wouldn't be inexpensive for me since I wouldn't be comfortable doing it myself.

99.9% sure this isnt a theory, it does work and I can help you with this.

Not a problem!

Alrighty. I know it is commonly done on the 4G's so I'll have to look for some write-ups on what they've done. I assume I'd need a different type of catch can and some fittings.

Sirius finally disabled the free subscription that came with the car. I got 14 months, not sure how long it was supposed to be. heh.

**Kracka** · 11-03-2010

Lucky! They cut mine off shortly past the 3 month mark. Seems like I get a letter from them daily though asking me to subscribe. So far they're offering 6 months free if i sign up for a year.

**mlomker** · 11-03-2010

Yeah, I called them up and got another 6 months for free. lol. It must have been activated under the dealership's account for the last 14 months.

At least that Milwaukee dealer's incompetence isn't limited in scope.

Damn you! I thought I'd have mine for a while but it got killed a month or so after I bought the car.

**mlomker** · 11-04-2010

Pulled the NAV and I don't see anything wrong, wiring-wise. I guess that'll be my car's first visit to a dealer. I've never heard of Mitsu voiding the electrical system warranty but my car is a bit extreme. haha.

Anyone familiar with the dealer in WBL? I guess I'll give `em a call and see what's up.

**mlomker** · 11-11-2010

Welp, looks like I sold those ID2000 injectors today. If the money comes through on Monday then a tune attempt on the DW1300s will be happening this month.

**mlomker** · 11-12-2010

Seeing Shane on Wednesday. Having a proper tune for the first time since March would be, umm, nice.

**Murlo26** · 11-12-2010

Bout time

Crossing my fingers that all your fueling problems are resolved.

Speedfreak · 11-12-2010

All it took was Dave to tell you to sell some of your fuel system inventory.. and it sold in like 2 minutes. Good luck on the dyno.

I had those injectors listed on evoXforums for a month and wasn't getting any traction. It sold instantly when I posted it to the Evo 8/9 forum on EvoM...there are just more 8/9 guys making the power to necessitate 2200cc injectors.

**mlomker** · 11-16-2010

Can't say I've ever been nervous about a tune appointment before. I don't wanna cry.

haha. If it goes well then I can focus on the oil leak & burning issue (seems to be some of both).

FattyBoomBatty · 11-16-2010

I hate oil leaks. Mine drips from a known, hard to fix location, and makes the exhaust black, and prevents rust. For that feature alone, I'd recommend keeping the oil drip. Carry a piece of carboard with you if you don't want to mess up anyone's driveway.

Good luck tomorrow, and I have to say, how can you have never been nervous at a tune session before? Maybe because mine's always involved some huge change and no one in the SQ community is making power like me and talking about it, but I'm a nervous wreck every time I've been on the dyno, even dyno days.

I'm not breaking new ground on power levels for a X. I also use to have enough funds to weather any storm but the storm took care of that. lol.

My 'worry' at this point is that the fueling problem still exists. I'm ready to move on to other things.

**cmspaz** · 11-17-2010

What time tomorrow? I might swing up there.
