Tegiwa problems?

[Cranny88]

Alright guys just a quick question for all of you with a better know-how mechanically wise,

just finished fitting the tegiwa on my ep3 and now the car is idling from 1000 to 2500 up and down when I come to a complete stop or keep the clutch depressed? Also smelling what I can only describe as burning rubber coming from the exhaust?

cheers guys,

Check all your pipe works on correctly, did you disconnect the battery?

 

[Cranny88]

Pipe works fine as I just kept the original pipes but everything is on correctly, seems to have stopped revving so high and will only do it now if I plant the foot, think I may have to clean the icv after having a search about the forum.

the burning smell is starting to worry me though, I can't seem to place it and thinking back I started noticing a smell after getting the rocker cover gasket replaced?

Cheers,

cranny

What does the burning smell of?

 

[Cranny88]

I would say rubber, it doesn't smell like the clutch and rubber is the closest smell I could describe, I'm stumped as to what it could be?

Oil possibly?? Leaking from rocker directly on to exhaust mani from above it (back of block) possibly??

 

[Cranny88]

I'll have a check tomorrow, need to do a service anyway so hopefully that will clear up any problems.

cheers for the advice guys.

MY new replacement standard exhaust smelled funny for a while when it was new. Also when I replaced my rocker cover and gasket with a new painted one it also smelled. Probably nothing to worry about pal. I remember years ago putting a painted mild steel manifold on my Saxo it poisoned you every time you drove it for the first 500 miles!

Assuming it's an exhaust you've fitted?

 

[Evo_Dave]

do u mean tegiwa exhaust or induction>?

 

[Lewis.]

I think he's referring to an exhaust fellas.

No it's the induction, all seems fine now guys cheers, exhaust is the next step as I'm buying a new one Friday, just trying to find the best/cheapest one to get.

need a new cat anyway so the next question is 4-2-1 or replace cat and go for b pipe or cat back? Opinions? Bearing in mind that until I get a decent bit time off work and the funds I won't be able to travel away down south to buy a kpro and get it mapped ect.
