*blink, blink* Should be badass. Spend 2x more on mods than the car?

 

yeah pretty much.. I tried to get a couple of sponsorships - 1 company wanted too much of my involvement, the other 2 denied. So i said F#$k it and went with the project with my own $$.

 

you might wanna add some driveshaft shop axels to your list if you plan on crankin up the boost a bit

 

I know with my tC, I have a pretty good amount of torque steer even without major mods. Looking at any kind of limited slip setup?

 

I am looking into Kaaz LSD. I wanna see how it drives first. Take it to auto-x a few times see how it handles.

 

Got a ballpark on power once all mods are done?

 

`180

 

Well, that should be every bit of sick.

 

Nice!

 

Looks liek you have your work cut out for you... THATS ALOT OF PARTS TO INSTALL!!! hahaha, that would take me about 1 week to put all that stuff in.

1.) What turbo is the GReddy kit using??
2.) How much boost do you plan on running??
3.) Where did you buy the fuel pump and how much is it rated at??

If you plan on running anything more than 7psi on a stock block, i don't think your going to have good time. I haven't seen anybody running more than 8psi without blowing up their engine, unless, of course, you plan on doing something to it that you haven't said.

The only thing i would recommend you to do is change from Hawk to EBC. I know it sounds bad, but even the Green stuff EBC is better then the Hawk HPS. Ive used both and on the track the Green Stuff have more bite, but tend to get a little squishy after about 5 hard laps.
The Hawk HPS don't give the same amount of bite, but they do hold up the heat alot better. If you don't plan on racing get the green stuff the initial bite will help you alot, but if your racing then use the Hawk.

 

*cough* I wanna see sound equipment...err...maybe I should get it to you first *cough*

HAHAHA.

Seriously though, I wanna see what gets pulled off here

 

1) its the 14g turbo with internal wastegate..
2) using only 7.5 psi, cuz once again, its internal wastegate and thats what its set at.
3) bought it at a local shop in columbus, OH. They ordered it from their distributer. Dont really know much specs about it

I have used HAWK and EBC before and personally like hawk better than ebc.

no internal work done to engine, sticking to 7.5 psi. In a year or two when i get bored again, i will drop a killer engine inside. Sorry, due to lots of "negative" people on this forum, im not gonna release any info on what kind of engine, dont wanna see stupid trash talk in here

 

Chris.. lol..

I wanna see the sound system too. I was hoping to start on that this weekend, but now im put way behind cuz of retards at FedEx. eerrr....

 

Are you at all worried about the internals failing?

 

He should be fine at 7.5 psi. The eManage may need a little more tuning up top, but the motor should be fine as long as he isn't beating on the car.

 

no. not at all.. Internals will be just fine. 1nz can take up to 8.5 boost with absolutely no problems. Besides, its not a daily driver, its a show/race/show off car. And once again, in a year or 2 I will completely change the drivetrain: engine, driveaxles, axles, tranny. So no worries there.

 

Looks like you can work on it this weekend...FedEx dropped the stuff off for you

 

Simmo, who's doing the install work for you? I had too send my e-Manage back to GReddy it ended up being a bad 1.

Hopefully my Box will be on the road soon and I'll be able to get all the rest of my work done. We'll have to hook up soon.

enuf2spare35 arent you from Scionati? If yes, we'll definitely hook up

I havent even gotten to my emanage install F***n toyota i swear... (out of love). Scion's exhaust goes 2.5" out of engine, then down to 1.75" towards the midpipe.. thats friggin ridiculous.. So my Borla exhaust that I bought, figured it was aftermarket so it would be at least you know 2.25 or 2.50.. NOPE.. 1.75. So now i gotta do completely custom exhaust and buy a muffler separately.

mandos Yeah about that... im falling behind big time due to other problems. eDead should be going in early next week with seats and all. Once i get the subs and second amp, we'll start working on the enclosure. I gotta have it all here to be able to take exact measurements and all. I am also going to have a secondary battery built-in into the enclosure.... somehow no idea how its all gonna work/look yet.
