Just got mine tonight. Installed for me at Shell Station opp Kelana giant. My 1.5 Manual 90' Saga idles at 800rpm previously with ac on. but after installing, the idling speed dropped to 500 with ac on. any advice? Icecube tuned it to 1.8. any advice ppl?
Your air cond "switch" is not working if not wrong as i try to tune it it does not move to "press" the throttle when ur air cond kick in. Since with TAB, the engine now runs lower rpm thus ur air cond kicks in and it will go even lower, the only way is to tune up idling but its not the correct way, bring it to your mechanic and check the air cond switch at the engine side. They will change that switch and tune for you.

Good idea there

using tape coz me and bro ice were discussing how not to cover the 6hole

LOL a prayer answered.

why u scared lower idling rpm? engine stalled?
just tune back to lower setting. like me, at first tuned at 1.8, now in the middle between 1.0 and 1.8... 1.4 i guess..
He using carb and that tiny air cond switch did not kick in. Lower tuning probably not the best thing for his ride, the easiest way is to tune the idling higher but not recommended.

vibration kicked in...kinda uncomfortable with it...my car is 1.5 manual. but wont it be funny or anything to set it to 1.4?
Its a reference number only. I have 2000cc engine tune to 1800cc also and it perform better then tune to 2000cc. Its all about the tuning.
QUOTE(Taipan052 @ Nov 9 2010, 12:04 AM)
just tune it to 1.0 also can. it not related to your car engine capacity at all.. just some numbers as a guidance for us to tune.
the bigger the more air will suck in (besides our existing air filter).
mine 1.6 forte, use 1.4 settings (previously set at 1.8)
my friend 2.0 forte, use 1.8 settings (previously set at 2.3)
it's just a number.
reason for me to lower down the number because already have performance air filter installed. dont want excessive air inside.
bro icecube, please correct if there is any misleading info..

correctly bro taipan! thats right, we dont want too much air going in also .. nanti kena stroke. LOL
QUOTE(mango27 @ Nov 9 2010, 02:06 AM)
excessive air? so with TAB installed, unfiltered air will go into the engine? im having mine installed later at evening...
Open up your throttle body (after your air filter), you will be surprise to find so many dirt,dust and sand particle even though you using original air filter.
The air filter is to block big particle like leaves, mosquito , bugs and flies. Dust and sand will entered also thru your air filter.
TAB i found out there is also no filter inside, but the hole is so tiny that even a mosquito try to enter also impossible. Only water can go in that why must cover the unit during engine wash. And not recommended to install near the bonnet scoop if you have one.

mine 1.6 tune to 2.0, is it too over ? any bad effect on the engine ? i also have the performance air filter pre-installed in my car, forget to highlight it to kevin.
depends on driver. Some like more power and some engine are running too rich thus tuning higher is way better. Some cars running lean already, thus tuning it slightly lower (2000cc tune 1800cc example) will see drastic improvement overall. so, depends on engines and driver.
Mine 1300cc engine tune to 1800cc + 1300cc = 3100cc (ya, i installed two TAB on different location). It was just crazy! I manage to clock almost 100km extra on highway (80%) and city (20%). Of coz with combination of PBTE. I was speachless and sleepless again for days!!!!!!!
QUOTE(zcythe @ Nov 9 2010, 05:08 PM)
I dont understand the theory of this thingy =(
Can post any internal part pic of this TAB????
It optimize wif hot / cold air when using??
I dont have money to break one and show u the internal. The theory is to put swirl air and pressurize the air that enter the combustion chamber.
It work best with hot air.

Just sms me to make an appointment to install this at cheras leisure mall. If you asking which part of the engine to install this, its at the intake manifold vacuum hose.
QUOTE(personatm @ Nov 9 2010, 07:35 PM)
to bro ice cube plz answer....make me worry also..if it can defect the engine
It only suck thru the 6 tiny hole, a mere air intake not gonna kill your engine, if it does, K&N air filter company is gonna be in deep sheet.
