Thats right.....you read it....paul just sent me the email with the tracking number! The turbo will be here tomorrow. Ill take some pics as soon as it arrives.

Awesome...cant wait to see it...Dezod rocks :bow:

:bow: Now that's the way it should be done. Congrats man, I knwo you will enjoy your kit. Its basically a turbonetics kit without the unichip.

Congrats man! Definitely will have to take some pics when you get the kit! Looking forward to seeing some awesome results and numbers! Good luck!

:bow: Now that's the way it should be done. Congrats man, I knwo you will enjoy your kit. Its basically a turbonetics kit without the unichip.

Not at all. Turbonetics came out after ours. They even use a different spec'd turbo than we do. We have a lot of unique little twists to our set-up.

keep us updated man.

I got mine also!! There was an issue w/ my downpipe, but everything else is on its way!!

I can't wait..going to be a little bit before its on (coatings & customization), but it will be fun fun pretty soon!

yeah its gonna be hella fun, know it will have some boost behind its sexy style, and I know paul will be happy not to be getting 10000000 emails from me everyday!

I didn't mind.

...it was my 10,00,000 IM's on top of it that made him flip ;)

Maybe this has been answered but I havnt found it in any dezod thread but does anybody know if the downpipe will mate up at the stock locations or is there some sort of mid-pipe setup included here?

Reason I ask is I have a Creative Compacts Stainless Borla catback setup with a ZPI v2 or whatever S-pipe and I was wondering how much of it will have to be modified for this setup to work.

That and if the FMIC pipes will interfere with my is300 fog light setup, Im pretty sure they will.


Cant wait for the pics, I've been tearing my hair out over deciding whether or not to do dezod stage 1 or SC with FMIC and 9psi pulley.

I definetly think this can best be answered by Paul, but I think I may have the answer, Yes it will match up with the stock pipe, My mid section of my exhaust is still factory, my axel back is HKS.

Oh yeah.....and the answer to your question......go with the Dezod kit, more power than the TRD supercharger and looks cooler under the hood

Our tC downpipe includes the S-pipe, which mates to the stock exhaust system. So if you purchased our exhaust too, it will replace the entire exhaust system. I do not know if it will interfere with your fog lights or not.

Thats what I thought I read. Pretty cool as the S pipe is very restrictive. Good call on replacing that w/ the downpipe.

Thanks sir! Your S-Pipe is being shipped. Just the top half of the downpipe we need to hold up a lil bit longer.

Congrats guys. Expect quite a fun little setup coming to your doors.

More upgrades to come if 300hp isn't enough for you :)

We are working on some.......... :P

Yeah we are. I'm psyched about it haha

Yeah we are. I'm psyched about it haha

Me too.


Nice avatar. We need to make that 400 or even 500

Congratulations, can’t wait to see some of the installs.

lol guys im getting jealous haha

In the garage for hours......sleeping on the garage floor...... ZZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzz

Tips of advice for installing this kit......

1. Definetly P.M. Joe and get the install guide from him. I'm way ahead of my self because I have the car already taken apart.

2. The oil pan is a W@$RE!! Good luck with this one, toyota really got some strong sealent on this one.

3. Exhaust manifold come out super easy, O2 sensors werent bad at all....just make sure you spray a little WD40 on them.


......just waiting on fed-ex now......should be here anytime now! Ill keep ya updated.

I'm excited! I mean, they have an install CD with bunch of pictures and everything.

Looking forward to the oil pan....

w0rd.. cant wait for some pics and #'s :)

couple more hours and you will have yours.

i want pictures and a full write up on the kit. im really interested in this kit.

its gonna be sweeter than a new set of snow tires. Just an FYI - I went the route w/ the MAP sensor/harness, so I'll be attempting the 11psi route. Still trying to figure out what boost controller to get. I used to have the SBC-ID III in black, but I don't know if its really necessary to spend that much.

Matt if you want something cheap and effective I'm using the Turbo XS performance boost controller (the chrome one). We're using that as a temporary boost controller but it's been working well for us in the meantime.

I was actually looking at those. People seemed to think they worked well. They ahd teh dual stage one which was cool.

I reall like the ability to adjust the set/gainj on the sbc...but that comes w/ a price I guess. May just get a cheaper one temporarily also

Yeah. I know you know how to get in touch with Paul. He can hook you up with eiter. The dual-stage is nice, I installed it on my cousins Mazdaspeed Protege, and it worked really well. Had good experiences with the basic one on mine as well so I think you'd be happy either way.

Hey Matt I got a turbo xs High performance BC Im lookin to get rid of for like $50 if you want it...its blue though.

:bow: 8)

Matt can finally update his webpage :rofl:

YEAH BABY!! Congrats guys! 2 more tC's boosted by Dezod!

I'm sure Paul and Joe will agree when I say thank you for your support and kind words it means a lot!

:bow: 8)

Matt can finally update his webpage :rofl:

Yes, well put Z. Thanks to everyone for the continued support!

If any needs boost controllers, we have the Blitz Spec-S in stock priced at $339 with respect to electronic boost controllers. I love this one personally because it has 4 settings unlike GReddy with 2. The Blitz also has tons of functions and has a better valve with respect to response. I noticed less spike and better spool up with the Blitz when programmed properly.

We also have some manual bosot controllers in stock too.

im stoked on this kit.

I'm about to under take some more modding tonight and doing more heavy stuff over the next few weeks. I'll have a little bit more time now so we can develop more things for you all!

Yes everyone thank Joe.


I thank you Joe. He truly is a good man.

More things... I'm going to just assume you mean an equal length tubular manifold.

wink wink nudge nudge SHOVE



BTW, I haven't looked at 7thgencivic.com but do you finally have the information about the D17 manifold? Is it a direct replacement for the current manifold or does it necessitate an entirely new piping system?

Hey Matt I got a turbo xs High performance BC Im lookin to get rid of for like $50 if you want it...its blue though.

I may take you up on this... give me a bit

good luck with that...some you guys probably wouldnt believe me but they test fit the kit on my car first...b/c random tech is down here in ga and thats the exhaust system they got for their kit...paul is a very cool guy and gave me a set of free progress lowering springs for the time they used my car.

Yeah man we like taking care of the person or people that takes care of us. You were patient enough to lend us your car for a couple weeks so it's the least we could do. Glad to see you appreciate Paul's efforts.

yea...it was a pleasure...now im waiting for dave from random to have time to help me build the exhaust...hes been sooo backed up on his work......it was when the guy got hurt when my car was getting the test fit done

Our D17 mani is a direct fit into our existing kit. The manifold will be tested by the gentleman VERY soon. He had hit something in the road damagin his oil pain and he is repairing that as we speak. Plus with the holidays and all he went home to his folks place.....

No prob bro...I had it on my xB for about a week till I decided to swap it out and cap off the turbo and run a direct hose from the wastegate to my vac block...Picked up a couple psi of boost...wouldnt reccomend doing it on anything over 10psi though

hey paul havnt talk to you in a while, everything is great....the ride is sooo smooth...its like stock.oh ya paul i might be buying parts from you soon so ill give you a call sometime

Yes everyone thank Joe.


I thank you Joe. He truly is a good man.

Quite frankly, if it wasnt for Joe, I wouldnt have found Paul, and i wouldnt have recieved this new handle on scionlife :)

Joe has provided great info for all you boostaholics out there in tC land :bow:

So I guess I can assume if/when the EL manifold comes out for the tC kit it'll also be a direct fit?

Please update us on the dyno when you get it. I'm looking forward to it very much!

i got some pics....just need someone to show me how to post them

I have a lot planned for Friday the 13th! Yeah I know it's a bad time to work, but I'm only doing labor, not acutally starting the new setup for abour a week or two when the new stuff shows up.

I like talking about turbo parts, pros, cons, etc. If you guys need to know anything post it up, I'm more than happy to help, as is Paul.

Budda, might I suggest creating a Car Domain account? Upload the photos to that, then click on the photo to blow it up, right click on the image, then highlight the addess, and paste it into an image code here on Scion Life. I saw A pic of the the motor, looks awesome man!

Joe, I totally forgot that I had one of those already set up! Good looking out.

Photobucket > CarDomain :) hehe

pics please!

pics please!
amen hahaha

pics of what? my STi?? nooo way hehe

im sure there will be pics and vids up pretty soon

haha no.
pics and vids of the tC kicking your gluteous maximus, thats what.
hehe jk. I know the ZPI kit beat an STI so i wonder how the Dezod kit does against it.
Possible video?

Well just as an update.......I have several pics and I am working up a review, we havent had a road test yet so no vids yet, just working out some bugs, nothing major, Joe and Paul and myself are working them out............soon we are almost there......................................



Boosted STi, its a shame you left scionetics........there gonna see this ____ soon......jaws will drop......flys will enter.......HAHAHAHAHA

poop = SH##, arent moderators great!

haha no.
pics and vids of the tC kicking your gluteous maximus, thats what.
hehe jk. I know the ZPI kit beat an STI so i wonder how the Dezod kit does against it.
Possible video?

The ZPI kit beat a Cobb stage 2 STi. The Cobb stage 2, in my opinion, is a pretty nice tune and unleashes the rest of the STi's potential in stock form as the Cobb tuning package is basically an electronic upgrade as well as a few bolt ons.

BSPturbotC's STi will be a Dezod tuned STi with far more than just a tune and bolt ons. It'll probably feature an upgraded turbo and manifold probably alongside a fierce tune. We'll see what happens.

I get my first shipment tomorrow!!! woo hoo

well, probably not since fedex will knock during business hours when no ones fn home cuz I work, and then take it back to fedex. Then, I'll have to go pick it up.

makadameh!

waiting for pics

I got the pix. mwwwahhahaha

haha yeah, I'm sure BSPturbotC's Dezod tuned STi would beat the tC hands down.
But that STi vs. ZPI tC was on a roll, now think if it was at a dig. STi ownage. But lol, the STi was pushin what twenty somethin psi while the tC was at a moderate 10. so who knows.

We need a video of a turbocharged tC pushing some mad psi, see what kind of numbers we can get it to.

I got the pix. mwwwahhahaha

please oh please share with us.

show us

They're coming up...

its not like the car run anyway

Kit -emanage -couplers -wastegate cap = sweet car on jackstands lol

Show the Pics already man!

i know right, :tap: :tap: :silly: :silly:

Well, it sure is nice to see SOME support on here lol.

No worries Dezod gearheads.... in due time you will see Joe vs Me

For now, all I ask is to keep this on topic and try not to make this a battle topic!
Later this year there will eventually be a battle topic :) but until then just keep posting kind words and support Dezod and for goodness sakes, POST PICS AND VIDS! hehe :clap:

:bow: :bow: already told you...but lookin good!

lets go matt...ur next hehe

True. 1/2 shipment tomorrow, and still waiting on getting the turbo/wg/manifold/dp assembly shipped. Paul said today or tomorrow, so we'll see. Hopefully I'll run into less issues.

I'll probably need two weeks before you see much as I need to get thing coated, etc.

Looks nice yo!

Sweet 8)

no rubbage between the intake pipe and the charge pipe?

thanks for the props, dont praise anything till we get it on the road.

no rubbage, small amount of space tho

Wait....You mean to tell me that everything wasn't shipped all at one time?

i need more money :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
:silly:

Wait....You mean to tell me that everything wasn't shipped all at one time?

Just on mine. There was a test fitment issue w/ my downpipe, so another one is being made. Not a huge hold up as far as my schedule is concerned.

Everything on mine was shipped at once, there was just a mishaps with some componets

Funny how some people get Drilled for having "mishaps" and others, well it's just an oversight. Anyhow, keep up the good work. And hurry up with the install already....geesh! J/K guys. Can't wait for some more boosted tC's to hit the streets and cause the SRT4's and Honda boys to scurry into their little cubby holes.

looking good, looking real good.
time to put it on the dyno and show its true colors.

To better clarify this...

Budda's kit was perfect, but the Emanage or harness is defective and caused an electrical issue with the emanage. Nothing's wrong with the car though, it runs, and everything fit fine.

For Matt's car...
He knew before we shipped anything out that when we pre-build/test the parts, we had an issue with the wastegate flange. We sent everything else out as his option and will be sending him the new downpipe assembly shortly.

Both kits are pretty much flawless, we're just doing what we can to take care of both in a timely matter.

We paid for budda's pnp harness and his emanage to be shipped to my house overnight. When it gets here, I'm diagnosing the problem on my own car, and shipping back a fixed or working setup overnight back. Keep in mind this requires me to re-assemble my motor just to test out an electrical connection.

We take care of our customers, so hopefully these two kits do not mislead anyone else otherwise. Any questions do not hesitate to ask, Paul and I are here to help.

That's a good point. The gearing and the lower drivetrain loss allows the tC to pull very strongly. Who knows? Perhaps the Dezod tC will pull on the Dezod STi. So long as the tC has traction, it has a very good chance.

OK, I'm speaking about the Dezod harness issue. I spoke to Paul about this several weeks ago and he told me he sold all the harnesses and had no problems reported.

But, this is exactly what happened to my emanage with the harness from Dezod. I ended up sending the harness and emanage to ZPI so they could troubleshoot for me since they had other emanages, harnesses and tC's.

Thinking it was possible the emanage was bad from factory and not a harness issue, ZPI placed another emanage on the Dezod harness and it fried that one as well. ZPI traced out the harness and found several things going on. The Dezod harness was wired wrong and it fried the emanage was the final result.

This thread just verified the problem I reported. I'm sure Dezod will refund my money and at this point ZPI is trying to get my emanage repaired.

I understand things happen and mistakes are made. I spent alot of time trying to troubleshoot this and ZPI did even longer, so my hats off to Kenny and his crew for helping not only me out, but Dezod as it was ZPI that spent alot of time troubleshooting and 2 blown emanage units later (1 mine, 1 theirs).

As long as they are made right after the fact is what counts and I'm sure Dezod will take care of me.

This is true! This is NOTHING like my last experience with the other place. :doh:

That is tripe mattssi and completely unfair for you to say that. You had just as much of a responsibility for not being boosted by now as they did. ZPI sends out partial kits and gets hammered non-stop on this board but you give Dezod a pass. :no:

You're experience has not been my experience or many others on here with ZPI. I'm not bashing Dezod by any means, I'm saying welcome to the world of modding and EVERY company has an issue from time to time. It's how they handle it after the fact that counts.

wasnt the kit sent out partial upon request of Matt...not just sending it out to keep people happy?

wasnt the kit sent out partial upon request of Matt...not just sending it out to keep people happy?

I wouldn't even go there Vman. You know what's gonna happen. I just sit back and laugh everytime I see things like this. Fact of the matter is 2 kits have been shipped and documented in less time :lalala: :clap:

yea I hear ya bro

I requested what was available to be shipped, yes. I wanted to get some pipes coated, etc.

And you are exactly right, its how the company handles the situation. Some do it wrong, some do it right

Don't wanna turn this thread around - I'm trying to stop that :) All I can say is so far, my experience has been awesome.

Yes we had a minor hishap with the last few tC PnP harnesses we produced. These wiring diagrams after doing a handfull become so fluid and easy to foul up. We appologize and are doing everything in our power to make things right in a timely fashion. Please bear with us. As many people have mentioned, modding is never an exact science. We all try to make things right, or as close to right as possible the 1st time. We will get this resolved ASAP. Thank you to Kenny @ ZPI for helping Ed and helping us nail down where to begin disecting the troubleshooting process.

Otherwise, with Bryan's kit, Fed Ex banged up his wastegate, which I covered for him in getting a new red TiAL hat shipped to him. This obviously was not our fault.

Matt's downpipe had drawn a bit more than we expected when welding it, and this caused a fitment issue to occur with the dump tube into the downpipe. This is exactly why we test fit everything prior to shipping to ensure proper fitment. We did ship out the remainder of his kit, per his request to set his project underway.

Damn skippy yo'

Paul - do I have a defective harness? Let me know PM AIM Email whatever yo'

Damn skippy yo'

Paul - do I have a defective harness? Let me know PM AIM Email whatever yo'

IM'd!

This kit is still a bad @ss kit, it looks clean, it fits well. Fed ex picked up the harness today and should be back in Phoenix by Thursday, the car will be up and running then, thanks again Dezod for the support.

can't fn wait!

Your welcome. Thanks for the kind words. We tried hard to get perfect fitment every time. We have the chargepiping down to a science. The DP hopefully after a small change to the fixture, we can be set on that note.

mayeb i should help clairify some confusion here........

Yes the hat on the wastegate was damaged during shipping, you can see it on the pics on cardomain, its not anyones fault but fed-ex's, and it is being replaced.

I did have an injector problem, resulting in an install error by myself. Now the car runs awesome, sounds great, the only problem is with the emanage, its reading an error and the car is running a bit rich, Joe will have the emanage in his hands tomorrow and it will be turned around and shipped back to me as soon as it is fixed.

Dezod has gone far beyond to help me with this, staying up till 2 am to figure things out, and always answered phones when i had questions. If anyone wants POSITIVE info on the kit, PM me.

Thank you Bryan! At least someone appreciates and sees all of the efforts we have done to make a wonderful kit. We try hard to strive for personal 1 on 1 customer service.

What company in our coummunity does NOT give good support and service?

I know of only 3 turbo producers thus far that actually have a presence

ZPI
Turbonetics
and You guys at Dezod

To which all of you have good service it seems. So, our community doesn't have to worry about getting worked over in terms of customer service.

But competition drives prices down, so the more vendors the merier. Just a matter of preference now. So there should be no reason for anyone to flame or talk bad about any one vendor in particular.

I just got my 2 packages and the manifold assembly shipped today. Tons of fun await. I will have pic's up on my web site from the boxes, to the install, to a review.

^^That's your job, and we wouldn't expect anything less. All the turbo kit producers deserve a round of :clap: .

I understand that is what it expected however this seems to be less and less practiced now-a-days. Sad to say......

What company in our coummunity does NOT give good support and service?

I know of only 3 turbo producers thus far that actually have a presence

ZPI
Turbonetics

Please do not twist what I said. No names were mentioned or puns were intended. I was merely stating that I hear from various customers from other boards that customer service from several others companies they have encountered is not good...blah blah blah

No problems bro, just stating that our Community has very little to worry about when it comes to finding a reputable place to scratch our F/I itch.

I :love: DEZOD MOTORSPORTS

Yeah so far Scion Life has seen decent service. I think Paul was thinking of 7thgencivic.com vendor that went under investigation and closed shortly after... That company was the biggest and baddest, then took people's money and ran...

I am putting my completely ripped apart motor back together tomorrow only to test out a harness. I then have to take the motor back apart to get to the projects we were working on. This is all for the harness issue alone so our customer can have a perfect kit. Time will tell and I think it'll all pay off for all of us.

You da man Joe! :clap:

Awesome news, it's great that you guys are wasting no time in coming up with more mods! Definitely looking forward to seeing what you have in store for all us tC folks! Good luck with everything!

Thanks everyone one. Joe, call me tomorrow.

update: Spoke with Joe today, my emanage was fine, there was a couple wires off in the harness. Its alll fixed, getting shipped today and should be in the car tomorrow.

Rolling it out of the garage today to get some FMIC pics, will post later.

ok joe sent the harness and emanage back to me.....looking like tomorrow could be the test run!

Have fun!!!

What's up with that photoshoot?

95% completed.......nominate me folks!

Looks good!!! Especially the Dezod.com stickers!

no offense - but I think he's taking them off. Doesn't look good like that.

The kit, however... heheh pimp

buddastC...that looks sick :bow:

We normally do t-shirts.

OK got emanage back into the car tonight, everything is running well, took a few passes up and down the street tonight, definetly picks up, gives ya a little kick back. Going to take it out some more tonight, will post tomorrow with more details....!!!!

I know I know... "thank you joe for putting your car back together to fix my harness and overnight it to me)....

haha, talking to you right now on aim man. Glad you like, but you gotta floor it at some point, when you do lemme know how much you like it lol

Thank you sir!

I've officially dropped my pipes off for coating... the list is as follows:

Manifold, Downpipe, Wastegate, Wastegate adpater (that goes to downpipe), and turbo housing are all high-temp black.

All other pipes aside from the S-Pipe are Gloss black.

Its fun diassembling the turbo and the wastegate.

7 day turnaround, so we'll see!!

Niiiiice man. Sounds like the Dezod empire is growing haha..

The darkness is covering the sky......

looks beautiful!!!!

looks beautiful!!!!

I think so too

i want to marry this turbo setup

i got a random mis fire CEL.....YA FOR ME!

i got a random mis fire CEL.....YA FOR ME!

What was it?

still trying to figure it out I think. He was saying after 4k, it was bogging and just seemed to lose power. Hopefully we get the cause and get this beast-a-movin'

matt paul has the answer for that

Bad ace - post it up/AIM me

did u change the plugs when you installed the turbo??

Could the plug gap do it too? Did Joe use new plugs?

I can't remember what scion dad used, but I hope they weren't expensive. On my last car it was friggin $20 for each plug which = $120 for damn plugs. Good luck!

naa Matt...you want copper plugs...no more than $2 a piece...better than Iridium plugs for boost and a lot cheaper...I would gap em at .025 first...correct me if Im wrong Paul or Joe

Paul says he didnt change the plugs on his, I am going to try it out today.

Paul says he didnt change the plugs on his, I am going to try it out today.
Im almost willing to bet thats your issue right now...try the plugs and gapping them to what I said to see if it helps

Sciondad changed his to Denso Iridiums and had good luck, why do yo say copper is better?

Sciondad changed his to Denso Iridiums and had good luck, why do yo say copper is better?
They just happen to be the best plugs to use when dealing with boosted applications...its kind of funny cause they are the cheapest plugs to buy :rofl:

Oh yeah, and the turbo got so hot yesterday, that it actually melted the fabric on the underneth side of the hood!

And I am still driving like I'm scared to break it.....havent pinned it once!

Come on bro! You gotta take one for the team, LOL! Let us know how it feels at WOT!

Just curious what hte gap would be?

stock gap (0.029-0.043) manufacturers specified gap? or special?

I think I may pick some of these up myself... only about $10/each.

^^^^^^^.025
$10/piece?? Are you talking about iridiums??

Blown Gasket on the wastegate!!!! WWWOOHHHOOOO!

Blown Gasket on the wastegate!!!! WWWOOHHHOOOO!

Man that sucks! Well I guess you're bound to run into some problems with the first production kit. I've heard from many EVO owners that you shouldn't even use the WG gasket that Tial supplies because it's really crappy. Most manufactuers recommend running no gasket cause they claim the metal to metal contact creates enough of a seal. Otherwise some sort of metal gasket would work. Good luck getting everything to work properly!

Blown Gasket on the wastegate!!!! WWWOOHHHOOOO!

Contact Paul or Joe on monday. Let's try and not to turn this into a big fiasco.

copper gaskets...easy fix. Its probly the most common occurence with the Tial Wastegates...they are pretty much the best WG's out there but there gasket department really needs some help :rofl:

That is correct. Those gaskets fail all of the time. A stainless or copper version would be better. The flanges are VERY flat and flush, I do not see why you could not get away without running a gasket. I ran my TiAL WG on my boosted Civic without the gasket for over a year wihtout a problem. Sold the car with no problems either.

Definitely

Hey Paul, are you guys going to include a copper gasket for the WG with your kit? If not maybe you should consider it as just a convenience factor for customers.

http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=5261&

luckily there was an extra in the waste gate box!!!

Changed the plugs today, still same thing...

Hey Paul, are you guys going to include a copper gasket for the WG with your kit? If not maybe you should consider it as just a convenience factor for customers.

We currently only include the 2 TiAL ones that TiAL includes with the WGs. I am not aware of anyone that makes a SS or a copper one.

Like I said, it is not necessary even to run them. We have successfully ran several systems without using them at all.

I was gonna PM you that. LOL

Edit: Good find BTW

Im still feeling some lugging in 3rd gear, im gonna run it right now and see if i get another check engine light, see why i got the cylinder mis fire codes.

I'll have to keep these in mind. I have an extra gasket too, but I may not run one if it works just the same.

That's cool, I was just checking.

Aright...could be a coil pack...see what cylinder is misfiring by running the obd scanner. Lets say its misfiring in cylinder 3....remove the coil pack from cylinder 3 and switch it out with cylinder 2 or 4. Start the car up and run till you get the CEL again and then re scan it. If its misfiring in either cylinder 2 or 4 now(whichever you chose) then you know its the coil pack. The only way I could see you haveing a bad coil pack though is if you somehow damaged it which would be kind of hard. I honestly dont think this is your problem but its an easy way to check it just in case it is something stupid like this. Lemme know if you have any questions

tightened all the vacuum lines....thought maybe it was a leak, found that there was. Still lugging, almost as if it loses all the power.

When you cut and wired in the harnesses for the fuel injectors, did you keep the polarity the same or are some of them flipped? Injectors pulsing at the opposite phase of another may trigger a misfire, seeing how there's no real way to "see" a bad fuel discharge on the OBD system.

Good call Joe.

if the polarity was flipped, the car run like that in all the gears

I'm prayin for ya sir

if the polarity was flipped, the car run like that in all the gears

In what gear is it like that then?

3rd and 4th

3rd and 4th

Sounds like my friends S4...you know what the problem was...the coil pack :P
Have you tried what I said yet??

How could/does a coil pack go bad? (I'm not saying it can't, or didn't, just never had that issue before)

No i havent tried that yet!!

Do it!


btw, I did a search for bad coil packs and a bunch of Audi stories came up with multiple issues haha

How could/does a coil pack go bad? (I'm not saying it can't, or didn't, just never had that issue before)
could be a bad electrical connection iside of the coil packs...its really common in the early 2000 model Audis/VW's....Im not guaranteeing that it is a coil pack, but its such an easy way of checking to see if it is.

So is this guinea pig beast running yet? What the next test in line?

I am not trying to step on any toes here.....but it sounds to me like the car is to rich and you are fouling out the plugs so by the time that you get to the higher gears and the extended load the car falls on its face...Either take some injector out on the emanage or take the plugs out and lower the gap to like .26 or so.

Hope this helps....I am sure the Dezod map is very conservative to keep the car safe. This would also be the root of your CEL.

-Kenny

I think this was his next step - getting ahold of an emanage cable and taking it to a local tuner. Hopefully its the tune.

On my last car (thats all I seem to be saying these days), they tune the piggyback ecu came with was horrible for my car. I had to drive to Maryland and they had to due some major re-tuning. At least if it is the case w/ this car, the emanage is widely supported.

...oh, and I guess it makes sense too. You got Budda in 100+ degree weather using a tune from 20 degree weather. I think that ends up wayyyy rich.

stress.................tired.........living in garage..........installed greddy's e-01 today......says emanage is password protected......joe, or paul....p.m. me....aim me....email me.....

It could very well be a coil pack. IS300 members have experienced problems just like this too.

Bryan has had numerous little mishaps on his car. Vac leaks, injector install problems and such. He also threw a VERY interesting code of sensor 1 staying in lean. That could also account for the excessive rich conditions as well.

Our map is designed to be quite conservative because of the fact it goes to many different people all around the country. Obviously this is why we call it a base map. It is something that lays a tremendous amount of ground work for you, that one could just fine tune.

No harm done Kenny. Thank you for the input . I am sure Bryan appreciates it as much as we do. I hope it is something as simple as that, but with an N/A car going turbo, it can be a challenge sometimes. (preaching to the choir). LOL

Anyway, Bryan I emailed you YOUR code for the maps. Good luck!

Who knows, I may the first dezod kit installed and budda will have to change his signature. haha

You had better post of pics of it all powder coated and such. I am curious to see what it looks like.

Oh yeah, and the turbo got so hot yesterday, that it actually melted the fabric on the underneth side of the hood!

What's the status of this issue? That's some serious heat. I haven't seen a pic of the turbo location...is it because it's up close to the hood?

He is having fuel issues which can cause excessive heat issues too. Too much fuel burns really hot like a super lean condition too.

We will get this taken care of. We got 3 heads working on this :)

I've lurked for a while now and was following this thread as an option. Having seen the last few days post, I had to sign up and speak up.

2 kits out and 1 is in coating (I thought it was beautiful out of the box) and the other is not running right, burning the engine bay up, screwed up harness that is destroying Greddy emanages and tuned to run so damn pig rich the car falls flat on it's face and you clowns are thinking the COP's went bad? Then Dezod comes on here and thinks the injectors were tapped wrong? OMG

Then I see a ZPI rep comes on and tells you guys what the problem is as you fumble around? Seriously, have you guys read this thread?

I just have a few questions.

Someone please tell me why anyone would bother to buy this POS from a company that has no clue what they are doing?

You're actually buying a product from some guy that set it up and tested it...yet he works at Bestbuy?

Come on, tC owners can't be this hard up for products...can they?

I'll read the flames and go back to lurking now. Hope it works out for ya.

That was fun to read.

All we can do is wait until the problem is fixed before we can determine the root cause and go from there.

Look...

What details we keep private from conversations with the customer are no one else's business. How does powdercoating affect the quality of our kits? We've had no problem with the proto-type kit on my car whatsoever. No gasket issues, no irradic idling issues, NOTHING. We had a couple electronic glitches in the beginning most ever company on here ran into that when they were designing their kit.

We had no fault with OUR parts. A 3rd party that makes the harness for us shipped us a bad batch. We paid to overnight the parts to my hosue so I could fix it myself (which took less than an hour to diagnose AND fix. We then paid to overnight a working unit back to the customer. The other problems that have been associated with the kit have been from installation errors. We've been going out of our way to fix the issues with the car and have taken care of numerous problems already.

Do not come on here with little to no knowledge about our company which has a CLEAN record of any customer sales or issues. We've been in business for a while now, and have an amazing reputation on the honda boards (7thgencivic.com).

ONE bad batch of harnesses have been the only problem so far. So please do not come here slandering us about what we know and what we don't. Paul runs the company, I work for Paul. I'm a manager at BBY because funds to do more projects need to come from somewhere, and I can still do the car stuff in addition to working at best buy. We race the car, and I used to work for Team Nissan in NH, where I worked on the Avalon Racing 550whp Nissan 350Z. So please don't say I don't know what I'm talking about.

I've shared numerous information on this site that has helped other members. I've shared information beyond the scope of forced induction so my knowledge is not "limited".

I'll come back later to check what you have to say about this. But if you want to make direct comments about our company who's taken care of everyone since we opened, please do so with email with myself (Joe@Dezod.com), and say what ever you want. I'll clear things up with you and assure you we're not some idiots with a wrench.

BTW - for the running rich issue...

The car runs at 14.9-16.0 on idle with 550cc injectors. So it's not running too rich unless for some reason the emange has been reset. I ran Budda's emanage on my car and had no problems what so ever.

I can understand if the emanage wasn't set properly, the car would run too rich and cause the plugs to foul. So Kenny would be right. I went by the assumption that the emanage settings were identical to mine, so rich issues were not a concern.

I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Interesting. Well in any sort, Paul is walking him through step by step.
Infact he's on the phone with him right now as I post this.

Also, I know first hand that Paul and Joe stayed up till 2AM working with Bryan to find out what was going on. Paul has answered every single email he has sent to him.

So if it seems like to you ScionLife Members/tC Owners that we are not doing the best we can to help him out...then I what I just posted counter-acts that.

For what its worth, joe and paul get back to me on every email IM in a very timely manner also.

Anyway... good luck Paul/Bryan.

Every component, other than the harness which we addressed and fixed, was sent from us properly and fit, performed and as supposed to. Brian has had a number of issues that evolved due to install errors and such. We are working with him over the phone (just hung up with him not too long ago) and via email to help resolve the issues.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please email Joe or myslef (paul@dezod.com). I am the general manager here and am more than willing to clear up any foggy notions you or anyone else may have. Thanks for your time!

Joe there is no need to get worked up. Our kit and quality speaks for itself. Brian himself even (couple pages back) praised the overall fit and finish of the system. Matt wanted the custom triple black option on his kit, hence why he sent it off to be coated. Enough said.

For what its worth, joe and paul get back to me on every email IM in a very timely manner also.

Anyway... good luck Paul/Bryan.

Thanks Matt.

BTW, Brian is off to a shop to get his map re-uploaded to his e-manage. (just called me)

Wow, definitely one of the most ignorant statements I've seen. I've dealt with bad vendors before, but Dezod has been nothing but top notch.

Hey man, not a problem at all! My name is Ryne, by the way. As soon as I'm out of school (hopefully within the next couple years) I'll be placing an order for your turbo kit!

It's all good guys. Just trying to point out the obvious to the oblivious.

My statements are considered ignorant? Please do tell me in your flash of brilliance where I'm ignorant (lacking education)?

Did I lie about anything? Nope.
Did I say something incorrect? Nope.......

Please blow smoke up someone elses rear and tell them it's foggy....Anyone that has any experience can see it. Thank you very much!

No fault with your parts? Now you're splitting hairs and passing the buck. You didn't make the turbo either. You didn't make the flanges, or the pipes or wg or bov. So, do tell us what exactly you did make that would fall under your responsibility in this kit, the welding? So, you subcontracted out the harnesses and they failed. That sir, is 100% ON YOU....Everything in this kit is 100% on YOU.

Did someone fail to mention where the kits would be running? There is a difference from Arizona to New York. But I'm sure you guys already knew that since you planned for it. NOT!

But hey, this problem will be solved quickly (if the car don't bust into flames)....you have 3 heads on it. In my experience, 3 heads is a freak!

Wow.....i really think the only people who should be getting worked up over anything is me.......I'm the one under the car everyday......Anyone whos not involved in contributing HELPFUL info to getting the car back on the road, Please stay on your own posts.

HAHA are you for real? Keep in mind that these are the very first kits ever to make it into production. Of course there are going to be some issues, nobody makes a flawless kit the first time around. And it's not like they're screwing over there customers, as Paul mentioned before they've been helping the guy out over the phone, IM, and e-mail. Your statements are considered ignorant because you're out of line. The turbo is overheating because it's running rich....who cares? Tell me one instance where the turbo has blown up or he threw a rod through the block.....those are major issues buddy.

If you have nothing positive to contribute then don't say anything. As you can see the guys from Dezod aren't going to put up with your negative comments, and they said to contact them personally to clear things up. Apparently you lack reading skills there buddy.....ever try hooked on phonics?

Oh yeah.....and to the concern as to where I am located in the country, I plan to run the car on a dyno and see what adjustments need to be made so that when it does reach 120+ degrees nothing blows up, Thank you for your concerns.

Did that map get reloaded successfully? I say steal the cable from that shop :)

Funny story......I did steal it!

No there is a shop here....pretty big time place.....Vividracing.com.....They let me borrow it till tomorrow morning.

Funny story......I did steal it!\

:rofl: Do tell!

No there is a shop here....pretty big time place.....Vividracing.com.....They let me borrow it till tomorrow morning.

Call me if you need me to walk you through it.

well the earliest time ill be able to load it will be 10 p.m. my time so if you wanna stay up!!!

well the earliest time ill be able to load it will be 10 p.m. my time so if you wanna stay up!!!

I will try! :lalala:

And if this doesnt fix it.....Paul or Joe will be on the next flight out to FEE-NIX!

It will fix it :)

If Paul does come out here, he's staying at my apartment haha.

Come on, tC owners can't be this hard up for products...can they?

I'll read the flames and go back to lurking now. Hope it works out for ya.


We where not coming on here trying to undermine Dezods ability. I would like to think that they would offer the same type of insight to our customers in the event of a ungoing issue. We have delt with various issues with these cars and are only trying to offer a helping a hand. In this industry it is nice to have other shops to cosider allies while others only want to exploit an issue. We would like to consider Dezod an allie.

With a MAF car it is very hard to tune the car in one state and then still have it run correctly in another. Especially with the drastic change from up north to Phoenix. I am sure the car was very safe on the tune end when it left Dezod this mixed with the warm weather it may be too safe...

I've lurked for a while now and was following this thread as an option. Having seen the last few days post, I had to sign up and speak up.

2 kits out and 1 is in coating (I thought it was beautiful out of the box) and the other is not running right, burning the engine bay up, screwed up harness that is destroying Greddy emanages and tuned to run so damn pig rich the car falls flat on it's face and you clowns are thinking the COP's went bad? Then Dezod comes on here and thinks the injectors were tapped wrong? OMG

Then I see a ZPI rep comes on and tells you guys what the problem is as you fumble around? Seriously, have you guys read this thread?

I just have a few questions.

Thank you for the kind words. I have loved what you guys have produced, it's very respectable. I can not speak on behalf for Paul, but I can surely speak for myself and say I too consider you an allie, and hopefully Paul and Joe would agree.

Me personally I live about an hour away from Brian (BuddasTC). I did not know until last week that he lived not too far from me, so hopefully if he has any more questions or needs some help Paul, Joe and myself are all a phone call/IM away from helping him and if needed I would promptly drive to his place and work on his tC.

I apprciate the offer but its not needed......We will be completed tonight.

It better be damn it. I want to see it go vroom.

you arent the only one my friend.....

Brian you have my cell number if you need me.

Ok...emanage loaded up, injectors set up.......TEST DRIVE!!

and?!?

And just to let everyone who has mentioned change in temps as an issue; it's not 100 here yet it's only in the 70's during mid day and down to the 30's at night.

Hey budda how was vivd? Have u dealt with them before?

OK.....the car is 100% better tonigth, drove it for atleast an hour and a half. No check engine lights. No misfires. Will run the car again during the day to see the difference from low 50 degrees to high 70's.

Littlezeke.....i havent ever really delt with vivid before. I will say they kicked some serious A## for me, being that they only have one support tool cable and the dood let me barrow it with out leaving a deposit! I know they are somewhat inflated on there labor charges but they do some quality work.

Anybody want specific details PM me.


P.S. the car moves like a banshee now!

oh yeah mattsi......your still number 2

#2 it is. I'll settle.

Good job man, I'm glad you got it running!!! Keep us posted (like I needed to tell you)

Glad to hear all is well!!!! :P

Ugh.. I need a damn turbo.. I feel like the little fat kid at gym that cant keep up.. :lol: :P

No no, it's the fuel injector polarity, but only in 3rd and 4th gear. It certainly can't be the obvious TUNE.

Hey ZPI, you guys are very "PC" and show quality ethics when helping other companies fix their customer kits. Just from what I read, you guys do this quite often. This is the reward of doing this work full time. Knowledge.

But if I need to know of any good deals on tv's or computers...I know who to go to as well.

This is a Dezod thread :P

I'm curious as to what fixed it (if it is fully functional now). If the map just needed to be reloaded or what.

Hate to add another worthless post to this thread as you seem to be intent on doing, but what ever happened to you going back to lurking?

I'll read the flames and go back to lurking now. Hope it works out for ya.

Some how in the mix of madness, his map was taken off of his e-manage, and we emailed him the GSC file to re-upload it. End result: his car runs great.

2B_A_SpeedFreak, yes ZPI and us have a standing professional relationship and help each other out here and there. We have helped some of their customers in good faith and here, they have helped us out. The good faith interaction reciprocates between us.

As I stated previously, if you have a problem, please email me personally paul@dezod.com. Thanks!

Once again, for the record, I personally, do not have any issues with Kenny, and I'm glad they are willing to help and vise versa. Yes, I had an issue in the past, but they have helped out a ton.

I'm sure Paul can tell you already - I'm a picky bastard.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.........no one ever thought you were picky :shock: :rofl: :rofl:

Another clown trying to ruin a thread. :tap: Like I said before and say again, a turbo is a turbo is a turbo. Kits are kits. It's the customer care that follows and the support available. Obviously Dezod worked very hard working this out.

In fact, it's cooperation between companies like ZPI and Dezod that makes this community fantastic. :clap:
