    Yeah, the sensors are almost definitely completely fine still - this is one of the problems with the Innovate controllers - they are still using the same control code that they reverse-engineered in the early 90s, designed for the earlier 4.2 sensor, whereas everyone else is now using Bosch's CJ125 chip for control, which is designed by Bosch specifically for this task, and also fully compatible with the 4.9! The Innovate gets itself into a state with sensors where something goes marginally...

    It goes into an E8 Error after an undetermined amount of time. Sometimes it can be 2minutes in, othertimes 10mins in. The replacement sensor was genuine and cost me around $140 dollars. I bought a new innovative boost gauge at the same time from a defined retailer.

    Have either of them failed with an E-8 error? How much did you pay for the new sensor - genuine will be around £100, knock-off will be less than that, and are much more susceptible to premature failure, especially with an Innovate controller. If so, don't throw the sensor itself away, any competent controller will still be able to use the sensor. Unfortunately NTK sensors require a different controller, though yes they can be a bit more robust, they also, I think, respond a bit...

    Whilst Innovate has been mentioned.....a Query! Ive had Innovate in the Evo for years. Jase fitted it, must be 10yrs plus. I replaced the actual sensor only recently but that has failed very quickly. Do you know off hand any part numbers of a compatible but better sensor that suits? an NTK sensor has been mentioned but im not up to speed on them.

    I take it from this that the Galant is still on UK plates? If its on Irish plates it will command a better premium although the VRT rate for these is still reasonable. Sub €1600 as we speak. The 8G Galants are now accepted on the Classic Car schedule of most classic insurance companies. I added mine onto my classic policy for €40. Which bumped up the annual cost to €390 for three classic cars. Yes the Tax can be high, but enthusiasts are realistically only going to tax these for the...

    Hi all and a conundrum I think I have the answer to but would appreciate any words of advice... My VR4 Gallant has been happily stored in a dry garage in Ireland for the last 5 years or so but that has now gone so I am contemplating importing in to the UK instead To sell it in Ireland is tough as the insurance is nuts (1,000 Euro + a year for me!) and the road tax is crazy because of the engine size, and seeing as I have sympathetically resorted the car since I had it the £700 or so to...

    /Wave If the leak was on the driver's side, roughly below the belts, then it's almost certainly the water pump. If that needs doing, and also given the downtime, then you should change the cambelt too - it needs to come off anyway. Full service and change of all the oils/fluids/belts/plugs might as well be done too. You can use radiators that fit most 8G Galants. If you have an auto, you should get one that has the cooling loop for the autobox. It's the more common radiator, so if you...

    В случае если требуется электромонтаж, то надо найти в действительности лучших мастеров! Экономить нельзя в подобном вопросе, даже в случае если предлагают вам цену в несколько раз ниже. Печальные последствия плохо сделанной проводки можно будет увидеть в сети. Грамотные специалисты, осуществляющие электромонтажные работы в краснодаре, имеют огромный опыт, а кроме этого используют современное тех оборудование. Думаете, будто-бы будет цена высокой? Конечно же, встретить дешевле всегда можно,...

    Honestly, I was hoping that someone would come and say "ah yeah, fassi still produces them, I can text him" :D Import from Australia with an oversize package to Central Europe.. If it is the same as with the Fujitsubo, I will pay about 3 times the price of the downpipe only for shipping (for the Futjitsubo it seems like I will need to pay almost the same for shipping as for the exhaust itself, from Japan, 650 GPB shipping :upsidedow). Most likely it would then even be cheaper to get a custom...

    That spartan looks very promising, will look into that one! The LD one seems to only be able to switch between 0-5V and 0-1V, but not simultaneously. I am not planning to go that far that a aftermarket ECU will be needed. Thank you, helped me a lot!

    HI All, I have had my Galant VR4 for around 20 years! However, it has been out of action for about 2 years. I stopped driving it as it had a water leak near the bottom on the engine bay (not the radiator) and now i would like to get it fixed and driveable again. Couple of queries for the forum: 1) What are the best steps to get the car started again after such a long downtime? 2) Any theories on what the water leak is - i suspect a water pump leak but not sure? 3) Anyone know where i...

    Unfortunately I think RPW are the only place actively making and selling downpipes. Have you factored in sales tax, shipping and import duties into your price - you'll probably find overall the price about doubles... Else, it's off to a local fabricator for a one-off, but probably also at similar price levels...
