Default Novi 2000 Question

I have had an ECS Novi 2000 on my 99FRC for two years. Still love it every time I step on the gas. Is there any periodic maintenance required on the intercoller or head unit?

Besides changing your engine oil and cleaning the intercooler of debris --NO

Sorry bro, maybe you can shine the head unit up or check if all the nuts & bolts are tight.



Is your air filter clean?

periodically check your bolts, hoses, and belt. Look for any debris near the intercooler and check for leaks on the headunit. Have fun

Oh, maybe that's why those diapers were included with my kit. I didn't see them mentioned in the instructions, so I thought they were polish rags.

Maintenance? I clean my air filter about once every two years, and also change the belt about once per year even though it's fine (maybe a 15 minute job on this kit) just to err on the safe side.
