earth on tmic

[keirz]

if the earth on the tmic was not corrected well or wasnt connected what would happen???

if it would cause the tmic to not work how would you tell?

any info good.

I dont know what this Earth is for but it definatly wouldnt stop the TMIC working.

maybe its for static electricity of the fast flowing air ?

thanks.

its just i snaped the bolt holding it in and had to re earth it.

i noticed today that after driving home from work my intercooler and pipes and also inlet mani seemed hotter than usual. jus woried it wasnt working correctly. also i dont know if its a mental thing but i dont feel the car is pulling as hard even though its boosting to 0.8bar. seemed to pull better at standard boost.

my car is completely standard other than hks actuator.

think its just mental mate but weather and traffic conditions obviously

its probably due to me getting used to the power too. not had it long, so maybe the new power is become familiar.

as long as i know the intercooler is working right i can relax. thinking of going rx7 tmic soon.

cant wait till the brakes and suspension are done then i can start on the power.

mine did the same thing, the bolt snapped tryin to loosin it, prob due o it being an old bolt an never taken out. i didn't re-earth it an noticed no difference at all.

The stock I/C never works well!
It needs replacing ASAP - a good RX7 top mount or an ARC TMIC would do the job...THEN you'd have a fully working TMIC!!
The stock I/C is more of a heater than a cooler!! It becomes really hot in no time and doesn't keep the air so cold under certain temperatures!!
