I think its too much.

 

The dealer quoted me $800+ for a clutch install

 

Unfortunately the time it takes is where most places get you because the transmission takes some time to remove, then it has to be disassembled, setup, reassembled, and reinstalled.

 

that stroker kit is sick
been looking at it on line too for my xb
but that and the darton sleeved block is like $11,000
i guess my Q? is why skimp on ems hydra ems looks real good @$1750 for plug and play

 

Who Skimped on EMS I am running AEM Standalone!

It has a ton of features most are shared with Hydra but it has others i.e. while tuning you click save with the engine running and it saves it without having to shut the car off and save it. AEM FTW!

 

a full hydra is will actually run you a lil over 2K, worth the price though.. but dezod is running some good deals on the aem ems w/ some initial calibration on it, prolly the lowest you can get on a standalone

 

AEM never pay for firmware/software or to unlock anything everything is fully enabled once purchased without any hidden fees to upgrade. AEM FTW!

 

hey 4 sure aem is fine no doubt
and ur build looks outstanding
hope it all comes together clean and smooth
decendent showed us how now its just talk and money

hell if its that fast in the end u could just shoot up to richmond here in minutes and let a **** test it out

 

what do you mean decendent showed you its just talk and money ^^ curious man. I am contiplating getting a standalone so I dont pop my motor just cruising around. or i guess to be safer. can you explain though ?

 

I am lost on that statement as well. I have been moding my car long before I heard or read about Descendent. Why is it when a new company comes out everyone jumps on them thinking they are the best *cough* ZPI Racing and TT. Two companies I was impressed with at first but when I came down to it they let me down and I couldn't do business again with them.

Don't get me wrong Descendent seems good but I just wasn't impressed with their turbo kit or their intake manifold.

Like I said before the shop in GA knows what they are doing and he mentioned to me going with a sequential, which I would have done but when the price went above 15K it went out the window. They have corporate sponsor so things I wanted to due and can't is just pure funding. I am still doing almost everything I wanted to with my own money minus the six speed sequential. My build will more than likely cost around 20K if not a little more when it is all said and done.

 

decedent seems good, their race car features a lot of stuff that they sell. I have heard different theories on their manifolds though. I have not personally looked into them though to really place my thoughts. Zpi had good brain washing skills, their products sucked ***** ( most of their ____ looked like it was made at home, or would fit at homemadeturbo.com. I am curious man you gotta explain your self. Not bashing just interested in what you know or have been told.

 

BlackNight what type of AEM EMS did you get , with UEGO or non UEGO ?

 

BTW my name is Nick. LOL.

I made the mistake of getting the non UEGO but it didn't actually matter my AEM Wideband UEGO is connected to the 0-5V analog input on the ems and it reads 100% accurate readings from the wideband.

 

Nice to mmet you Nick I'm Yev from 2ID

See you in september, lol

 

BlackKnight, in the first post you mention a 38mm Tial wastegate and a GT3582R .60 a/r 56 trim compressor / .78 a/r 84 trim divided turbine.
Are you going to use 2 38mm wastegates or only 1?
If it's only one then you need to find one bigger than that; 44mm Tial for example!

I haven't seen you on in a long time Pito! its Nick AKA toyota_scion_tc I got tired of my old screen name

The turbo is a GT3582R .60 a/r 56 trim compressor and a .78 a/r 84 trim divided turbine housing the manifold will be a top mount twin scroll twin 38mm wastegates.

Did you catch the AEM a/c fix for the 05-06?

 

Twin 38mm wastegates are perfect for the twin scroll!

The A/C fix has been working for a very long time. I am posting on Dezod's thread about the A/C and maybe I can help in some way. Maybe Dezod's fix is better and easier than what I did.
Either way you will be rocking with the A/C working no matter if it is Dezod solution or the solution I made for SCIONGT35R. I can guarantee you that!!!!

What do you think about the stroker kit?

 

It will be very interesting to see the torque numbers on your engine.
In fact, the stroker kit along with the twin scroll turbine housing and divided manifold should make you feel like you are spooling a T3/T4 instead of a GT35R!!!!!

I would be very careful on the rev limit on your engine since you added stroke to an already long stroked engine.

Depending on my power curve, shops recommendation, and I don't want any higher than 7k. I really want to keep it at the factory rev limiter. The shop is balancing everything even further than BC did, we are going for .5 gram if not closer.
