^ I know it can be done, I was just asking in general if it would be better. I think I reworded my OP wrong.

 

Yes, Mexican food ftw! I will let you know about the IC pipes for sure. I will be contacting PTuning shortly. If all goes well, I hope I can get my house and boost the tC before next summer

 

rise from the dead! Updates!?

 

The car's in Oklahoma, and I'm in Pennsylvania =(. I finally finished the break-in on the engine a few weeks ago, and switched over to Mobil 1 10W-30.

I think being away from this car for a bit will be a big test to see how the throttle body holds up. Since I spend periods of time away from the tC, Mike at PTuning advised for me to keep an eye out for TB corrosion because of water/meth injection. He said they had to replace their TB a couple of times on the TA tC because it would sit a week at a time. I have an extra one, just in case.

The other thing is I have been getting cylinder misfires a lot. I'll be checking spark plugs when I get back. AFR is 11's at WOT, IIRC.

Other than that, it still runs like a champ.

I might take the car to AZ, so I'll see how it'll run out there and may need a retune.

 

^^^^ welcome to the club. well i hope you dont join the messed up TB cause of meth injection club! i've been through 5 Throttle bodies cause of my meth. all you have to do is take it apart and clean all the rust off the sensor and your good as gold. i have a spare TB and tools in my trunk just incase it happens to me on the street. GL and hope it doesnt happen to you!

 

Wow! Maybe I need to stock up on some more lol. Thanks for the tip. Are you running straight meth? I'm using Peak -20, which I think is 1/3 meth.

 

no i buy a 5 gallon can of meth and mix a 60%meth and 40% distilled water in a 1 gallon jug then pour it in my meth container. like i said before just when the TB messes up drill out the rivets and open it and clean it real good lubricate it and put it back together. also make sure you silicone it so it seal good. and have it in the trunk as a spare incase your spare messes up at least you got one in the trunk and just do the procedure all over. thats what i do. lol hope it helps

 

/\/\ wow, i didn't know this about meth. That sucks. How essential is it at 400whp?

 

I wonder how the car would do with an open exhaust, 93 and a little bigger turbo

anyways can anyone else chime in on the meth issue? never had a problem with mine

 

i spray from 6 psi to 20psi so spray a lot but thats just cause i run more timing then the usual conservative tune. so i let meth do its job! if you dont spray much meth i dont think you would have problems. i think i was the first one on scionlife to have this problem

 

i spray 100% meth everyday. never had a tb go bad

 

maybe its the water in my mixture messing up my TB? man i dunno i just know i have the TB CURSE!

 

Hey Brett56 Im waiting on that high 10 sec video.......

 

Was this using the stock intake manifold?? 20psi + Plastic.....yikes

 

stock intake manifold can hold a lot of boost. no worries at 20 psi

 

Yes, it has the stock manifold.

 

Probably do to the fact it evaporates fast.
