Finally, my kat is on road 'Roaring"
This is the Apollo kit I bought.
Its universal so not 100% compatible with cougar. There isn't an option to fit air temperature sensor. Luckily on SVT Contours this sensor is placed on air intake tube instead of air filter box and since I had that tube I got away with this. I had to tamper with wiring a little bit to bring wire across. Didn't cut anything, just separated from harness.
This is oil catch can fitted. I had to make couple of custom brackets.
I had to order a special tool to press harmonic balancer in. It went in hard even with the tool. After fitting everything back, filled pwr steering oil, coolant and engine oil. I used new Castrol Edge Titanium 5W30 this time.
In process of bleeding cooling system. I couldn't get radiator fans on. Checked all fuses and relays and everything was fine so. Hooked up snap on scan tool and did self diagnostics. Tool was able to activate and de activate fans. Some how after this test they started working normal.
While scan tool was on I looked for live codes and found injecter 6 output fault.
It wasn't missing though. Couldn't understand what it is. I thought I should go on a test drive and get injectors open up as they were sitting outside for more than 3 weeks. I was out on drive for about 15mins.
With CAI kit, there is so much difference. Out come is amazing. Even with hot engine acceleration is as good as when engine is cold. Just love it. I can get another 10 horses with MSDS but am more than happy with the outcome and spending so much on MSDS and getting them fitted is not worth in my case as I have already customised headers.
Anyway, after some spirited driving injector fault was gone.
Though radiator fans are working now, I noticed that they are going off when coolant temperature hits 100˚C and cut out at 95˚C. I don't know if this is normal. Can some one check on this? You need to enter into diagnostic mode.
Here is how: Hold units and reset buttons on dash and turn the ignition on. You will notice gauges turning across. While they go across start the engine and once engine starts leave units and reset buttons simultaneously at once. Some times it won't enter into diagnostic mode if buttons are not released properly. So just keep trying. I always get it in first attempt and sometimes takes 2 attempts.
Once you are in diagnostic mode keep pressing select button to cycle through digital rpm, speedo, and many other functions until you get to temperature. Thats the one for coolant temperature. Just make a note how what is the max temp it gets to while driving in traffic and on freeway. You will notice temp drops about 10˚ with in seconds which is when fans kick on.
This is adjustable. You can set fans to kick in at a specific temperature of your choice. I will probably set it to 96˚ or 98˚. Which will be the last mod. Hopefully. hehe
Will take some engine bay pics later today and post em.
