:lol: :lol: I like your thinking but wasn't using those exact words. :lol: :lol:

RE warranty, there is really no concern as this sort of thing can not cause any issues at all if done correctly.

If anything, save warranty claims on chocked manifolds etc.

I'd be more concerned about the legal ramifications (Depending on the technician working with it) if any worked out what was going on. Again, never heard of it.

I have in fact sent one in with a Map sensor issue (Warranty) and we purposely left the AIT mod in place to see what was said....... Nothing, the Map sensor was diagnosed as faulty and replaced. 8-) This is because the AIT mod does not mess with the manifold pressures such as a full blanking plate. The blank, they can find very easily as MUT3 sees the negative pressures.

[censored] warranty

If I ever have a warranty issue it will take 5 minutes to remove,as I just cut the blue black wire and didn't take a peice out so easy to unplug remove the mod and the blue black wire is left with a male to female plug so as easy as just plugging it back together and some eclectic tape.

I soldered mine in.

Really it's only wire, not a big deal giving one little wire the snip.

Especially considering all the other crap we fit to these trucks...

Please be patient as I will eventually find you all, I have had major server issues (Hence no email reply), PM box overfull, other commitments etc. I'm working through it quickly as possible. Have had to take a day off work as so thick and call in a favor as well.
Sorry for the frustration.

PM's are not a great channel for contact as much harder to track and have limitations.

Server issues now resolved, any who need my urgent attention... tony@spvindustries.com

All our tunes include a custom mapped EGR tune to give BEST economy and cold start as well as ZERO smoke / soot contamination.
In fact we guarantee it!

No need for a egr blank with a MRT custom tune

I'm not sure what this means to be honest:

All our tunes include a custom mapped EGR tune to give BEST economy and cold start as well as ZERO smoke / soot contamination.


By saying zero smoke soot and later saying you don't need a plate, are you saying you completely write out the EGR on every tune? I appreciate you may need to be cautious about saying that publicly, but that would have to be the case for people to be sure they don't need anything else wouldn't it?

But then what is the reference to cold start about? I've seen it suggested before that EGR can actually improve fuel economy so the reference to best economy has the potential to mislead.

And does that also apply to all of the other ecutek people around the country?

Also since we're borderline into marketing/advertising territory here could we try to stick with just facts and leave the sales message for later? Pretty please? I know it's hard...

MRT has advised previously that to maximise economy they will RUN (i.e. open) EGR at low throttle percentages.
This car is like a bad drug habit. It is taking all my money and time, my family are concerned, but new mods just feel sooooooo good.

Well yes exactly which is why I thought we needed some additional clarity around the words that were used which sounded reminiscent of that.

Brett, I think we need to keep things in context here. Your direct quote of my post would appear to indicate that I was saying that you do not manage EGR at all, unless specifically requested. However that does change when considered in the context of the post to which I was replying:

dunney wrote:Just read though all 9 pages of this. Just have a query, I was under the understanding that when I get a ecutek tune that this controls the egr?? If I installed the Tony mod would I.simply just have wasted my money on.what the tune would do?


Now, in this context I think it becomes clear that I was not implying that you don't manage the EGR. Rather, I was saying to Dunney that your process would not stop the EGR from operating at all. It has been my understanding for some time that you modify the EGR behaviour, but do not disable it altogether, although that can be done, by specific customer request.

Your response seems to circumvent the issue somewhat. Perhaps you'd like to confirm that my understanding was correct, or deny if applicable, with an explanation so that we can all be clear on what you actually do.

I'm in the mind frame of pulling mine apart and having a look at the state of it,
but just before I go pulling it apart is there a gasket in there that maybe I should order first before possibly
wrecking the old one?

They usually survive and can be re-used. If you have the mn let me know as I have the part numbers for both gaskets.

catch can mn triton

Postby m sciffer on Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:01 am

hi there
reading from some of the past posts I decided to fit a catch can looking around my final decision came to E BAY and decided on the auto Australia which cost 385.00 I just received it yesterday and fitted it today the quality and finish is great and has it own dip stick and you just screw the bottom off to empty it and is made of metal . all brackets come with it and hoses and no drilling also and fits next to the air box .
the purchase price is a lot more than others but has twin stainless filters and quote 95 present catchment and is of high finish what you pay for is what you get . yes the blocking has been done my vehicle has 22700km and when I took the hose off and wiped my finger in side it , the finger was coated with oil .

m sciffer: your post has been moved here to keep it tidy.

Maxly: read the preceding posts. You may want to have a look through the Forum Directory to find information on topics that you may not be up to speed on.

You attach it to the crankcase ventilation and it filters out the oily mist which would otherwise go into your air intake.

I have the 2012 mn GLXR and the I quizzed the dealer about the manifold blocking up when I bought it and he told me that they have a bigger manifold on them now and they haven't had the same problems now.... Is this correct or is he just telling me fibs??? What are signs to look out for to tell me it's starting to block up? I have about 85000 km on mine now?
