C32 FMIC from Code3 installed

Guys,

I got the modding bug once again on my C32. I'm probably going to keep it for another 6 more months and sell it to my little sister in law.

I decided to address all my little working bugs.

*bigger HE
*fix the seat modules
*sway bar links and bushings
*fix a error code for my SRS
*perform transmission fluid replacement
*replace tires

Yesterday afternoon, Brandon and I installed a revised version of his HE. Larger end tanks and supper easy bolt on. NO cutting or custom fitting.

Only need to re-run the windshield hose on top of the front bumber bar. Very simple and easy to do.

The fluid capacity inside this unit is around 85 oz +.

I have been running the car hard this morning, and car has responded nicely. I don't expect any gains, other than more consistent kompressor engagement when I need it. Specially after 1 hour of constant traffic.

I'll let Brandon post some pics.

Hey TopGun32:

Glad to see Brandon is alive. He hasn't responded to my PM or phone calls, as I installed his HE myself, and yeah, your dead on about the headlight washer lines. I had to re-rout them, no biggy, just wasn't prepaired for it, if you know what I mean. It is a nice product oh, and mine needed just a LITLLE persaion to bolt on.

See yeah

this new updated version.. pretty much addresses the initial design wrinkles.

I have a beta test HE on my E55 and we had to do some cutting and drilling.. but nobody would know the difference.

Brandon is super busy.. I had to wait a few weeks before we would schedule an install.. he has so many things in development.

From I heard... some nice additions to our C32 product lists.

5 oz more..

80 oz is the one I have on my E55

and for 04+ E55 the capacity is 64 oz or so. They need an oil cooler to be installed in conjuction with the larger HE. Same price though.
