Active Aero Install

[futurevr4man]

Hi guys and gals,

I wrecked my vr4 and it needed some work anyhow so I have decided to get a clean (better) shell and just start fresh. I am very likely getting a 97 vr4 and it has the hoop spoiler on it.

My question is, if I wanted to put my AA spoiler back on it, how would I wire it up to work like factory? My old shell has everything on it still so I'm hoping I can swap stuff over to the new shell without too much trouble.

Anyone have any experience or advice with this?

Thanks

Gnate, did your hatch get tweaked?

oh man..sorry to hear that! what happend? pics of damage?

Just wiring the wing to a switch isn't too tough as you just need some relays.

Getting the speed based trigger signal will be the tough part. I think Greg figured out how to control the AA circuit with Chrome so if you already have or will be going to a flash ecu that may very well resolve this part.

No pics yet. I've been out of town for work.

The new shell I'm getting is a hoop spoiler and I would like to keep my AA.

Yeah, I have chrome. I'm hoping that will be my saving grace. I would like it to be speed based still. I think it's neat.

I would shoot Greg a pm and see what output Chrome has for this feature. If he can confirm the ecu output type and that it can drive a relay, I can modify the circuit I put together for someone else updated with a 3-position rocker/toggle switch that would allow you run the system as speed based (auto up and down), wing up, or wing down.

I think the wire colors may vary with model year on the harness wing so I will also need to go back and do a pin-out confirmation. Luckily I currently have my wing off the car as I am updating my CF airfoil to a new version.

Levi, are you selling the other one?

I sold it already to another guy here in St. Louis. The wing was on the carbon fiber vinyl wrapped car that was at the NG this year.

AA = active aero
AE = active exhaust

Chrome can do AE.

It requires a lot to install AA into a car that didn't come with it. You'll need to save all the body/chassy wire harnesses along with the AA ECU which mounts in the trunk.

I know guys who have done their own wiring setup using relays. One of the Chrome custom outputs could be used to trigger those relays.

*note: it's not worth it. :P

Ah! You sold the car to jack. That's why I was confused. I remember this being your car before the wrap but got all mixed up when I saw jack driving it.
