I did the cel eliminator but I have no cats and two bigggggg exhaust leaks and like 7 dif codes for using the auto ecu cus my manual ecu is trd flashed. I just need to get like an ebay exhaust and oem headers and ill pass no prob but I have 8 days until its expired lmao

 

UPDATE! new spec stage 2 clutch put in. Anyone near Stanhope, NJ with transmission problems/jobs go to Victor Dean Transmission by far the best guy around! Also poly mounts are in! I think my clutch pedal assembly is messed up. Since I did the swap my clutch grabs about half an inch from the ground even with the push rod all the way out. do you think messing with pedal height may yield some results? Overall very happy. Now 500 mile break in =[. Then back to stock for inspection, then turbo! =D p.s. anyone close to Roxbury, NJ with a stock header i can borrow/buy/trade for raceland I'd be very very very grateful! So stoked for the next couple months.

 

also bought cheapo ebay exhaust (k2), new front sway bar endlinks (my adjustables are only really good for coilovers), and sticker bombed my a-pillar. pics soon!

 

did you do an auto to manual swap?

 

yessir swapped it myself back at 45k now at 75k still going strong

 

Update! adjusted pedal height/freeplay and added a clutch pedal stop. shiftings like butter!
got spec stage 2 clutch, mobil1 syn gear oil, cage/cable bushings, cage risers, megan short shifter, stainless steel clutch line, extended slave pushrod (for more adjustment), and the pedal stop. compared to a stock tc its night and day!
also, both poly mounts are in as well as the exhaust. calling the tuner tomorrow to set up a dyno day!
so excited, stay tuned!

 

Im currently into a manual swap, did you swap out your ecu and engine harness?

 

ecu, yes. (although auto ecu WILL "work" you just get a c.e.l.)
harness, no.

all i did was bypass the neutral safety switch and wire in a reverse sensor connector off a manual harness and capped all the other wires off and viola!

 

where about in jersey are you from.? north, south, central?

 

north^ rockaway area if you know where that is lol

 

hey youre not too far from where my girlfriend lives...west caldwell

 

yup..im right down 80 by parsippany

 

me? west caldwell is about 10 mins drive from me.

 

haha nice i work right in montclair my dad owns a deli. Belgiovine's.

 

north nj crew. lawl

 

haha i never knew there was a crew to be had. i never see any modded scions up here lol.
glad to know i was wrong!

 

so another update lol snapped 3 bolts off in the exhaust side of the turbo housing. any ideas on getting them out? don't wanna try easy-outs cus they're notorious for breaking inside and causing a bigger headache. also dont really wanna drill them out and mess the threads up. might take it to a machine shop because i need to get my charge pipe welded up and the flange welded onto it. then off to home depot for misc bolts. i hate forced induction....when does this start to get fun?

 

well I'm just saying there's like 4 or 5 north jersey people here haha and I don't consider mine that much modded besides the Trd cai, and exhaust and the 20% tint

 

yea we def should get a meet goin. and mods are mods thats how i started and then i got outaa hand lol like alot of us

 

i dont consider mine modded either besides a few small things i have changed from factory. nothing major.but im in for a meet.
