Magic got the compliance cat today(thanks to SydneyKid), and will make all the bolt on cats for the first order tomorrow and send them out, so those people can expect their bolt on cats early next week i guess!

Ok guys, there is a problem with the temp sensor bung for the bolt on cats. Ill quote magic:

It turns out that the overtemp sensor fitting is not just like a nut welded in, the sensor actually seats into a fitting. We would have to be sent the fitting for each cat if they are to be welded in. The sample cat we were sent has had the fitting removed prior to us receiving it, probably for this reason. The easiest way around it is just not to fit the sensor as you are aware it serves no real purpose.

I personally do not care about the temp sensor, but i know that one or two of you were very keen on keeping the sensor fitted, i am not sure what to do, i need to get back to them to tell them what to do.

Who really wants the sensor bung, even if it involves a bit of stuffing around?

I would like to have a proper temp sensor bung / boss installed on mine. If that's an issue, I'll bail out and get the $'s back. No hard feelings :)

ok guys have spoken to magic and i will explain the problem for the bolt on cats.

The hole that you screw the temp sensor into is not a problem, it is just a normla threaded hole.

The problem is that inside the hole there is a fitting that holds the sensor. This is the problem, Magic say that without it, the sensor itself will move around in the cat and it will not work properly.

I am not sure if other aftermarket cats come with the fitting, or just a hole in the cat, they will be looking at d00ds car tomorrow, and i might have a look at mine a a bit later to see if my compliance cat has the fitting to hold the sensor straight.

They are waiting to hear from a supplier of theirs if they can get these fittings, if they cannot, the only was to have the sensor fitted properly is to send out your old fitting.

The compliance cat they were sent already had the whole lot removed (im assuming it was removed to be welded into another cat)

I didn't intend to remove the fitting, but the sensor was rusted/corroded in. When I applied turnng force with the ring spanner it screwed the fitting out rather than undoing the sensor. The fitting is still nicely attached to the sensor which is tucked up under the carpet under the passengers front seat. It never measures hot cats there.

:P cheers :)

:huh: cheers :D

lol fair enough!

I don't want the temp fitting on my cats so no prob for me. but if they put one in no probs either I'll just block it off.

Mate, I paid you on tuesday. Did you get my payment? If people are dropping out, I'm happy to take their place. It was just the straight cat, non bolt on.

Cheers

Hey, i have been updating the list of who is in and who has paid etc in the first post, if you have a look i confirmed your payment a while ago, i will put in the second round of orders probably tomorrow, all the guys who wanted just the cat(not bolt on) will get it straight away, the only people who may have to wait are the ones who want bolt on AND to keep their temp sensor :D

Ok no worries i think only 2 people wanted the temp sensor or mentioned it, ryno and fat32, so i think i will just get the rest sent out without it and i will organise something for those two guys B)

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
