Hey all completed my first track day today and on the last lap my exhaust temp/gas light came on. I pulled into the pits thinking i was going a little to hard in the hot weather and let it cool down for a good 45mins. When i went to go home the light was still on and is still on now.

Any ideas to what could be causing my problem? only mods are a 3inch turboback zorst with a highflow cat.

thanks.

Its just the cat probe light you mean?

If so, its just there are a over temp warning for the stock cat.

Basically a warning about nothing if your car is modified. Is the sensor stuck into the cat you have? If not, then it shouldnt be lighting up

Yeah there is a sensore stuck in behind the new cat.

Yeah its the light with the pic of the little zorst with the heat lines coming off it.

Just pull the sensor out and cable tie it to the underside somewhere (there should be a few places).

Then just reset the ECU... light should go away.

After that you shouldnt ever have to worry about it again. Its a useless sensor, and with increased boost etc, temps go too high and set the warning off even though its of no concern.

Oh ok might take it to my mechanic and see what he can do. Just noticed after 5 min of driving it goes away and then when you come to a complete stop it comes back? could it have anything to do with the petrol/octain booster i was running today was just the nulon stuff?

No idea, maybe.

Either way just dont worry about it dude, its just relating to the cat as i said... your not running a stock car, so dont worry.

I dont know one person that has thiers connected, and some aftermarket cats dont even have provision for the sensor :)

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access

      OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
