I didnt really want to get into the air filter/snorkle area conversation because its a debatable thing. The shop that works on my car has tested the various filters and different positioning and found that there wasn't enough HP variance to worry about. The MK3 snorkle box is actually setup...

which elbow is this? I am running stock everything on intercooler except the 3000 pipe and the pipe attached to that. lol.. nevermind.. if its that restrictive a search will find it :)

lol.. it actually looks pretty cool and you can paint it :) Actually, the driftmotion 7MGTE intercooler kit was what I was planning on going with in Fall... http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-new7mickit.php

Simple ass questions? Lol Never said it was better. And please accept my apologies for not ever owning a turbo prior to this car... And for having driven for 35 years without tuning... (my car is over 300 hp and has stock airbox btw... and it isnt the air box holding it back...) Show me where I...

I'm holding off on any intercooler upgades until fall. I will be adding a hks ssqv4 bov at the same time. Currently I have the 2.5" hks 3000 pipe and a 2.5" pipe running to the fender from that (then it is back to stock 2.25" intercooler piping) Time and money... Ran short

I dont think its 2x for E85, but it does have less power than gasoline. The only benefit is the high octane (106?) so you can tune agressively from what I understand. As for the comment regarding the stock intake/filter... I am running just a paper filter (used to have the K&N, but with my...

Okay, this is probably the most appropriate response according to my setup (as seen in the original post). I can't run E85 because I am in Canada.. we dont have it. I dont want to exceed 500 rwhp, if I get anywhere near 400 I'm smiling. As is (if they dyno was correct) the 300 rwhp with 367...

what do you mean? Please expand on that... I am not seeking to go standalone to say "hey! this is better than Toyota achieved way back in 1988!!!". Im looking at it because 1. I like having more power.. it feels good and suits the car better 2. I like having an engine.. by modifying a stock...

Exactly that, however it is also now smoking on idle. Aaron at Driftmotion told me just to send it back and he'll take care of it.

Gotta wait for a new turbo now, the new one is peeing oil... 600 km on it and the seals are letting loose... At least I fairly certain that's what's happening... It's getting worse, so the car ain't gonna run until I pull the turbo.

approximately 600 km on the build and I am 90% sure the turbo seals are leaking oil. It now smokes a "burnt" smelling blue when I sit idling. (embarassing as all hell in traffic) I think I lost about a litre of oil driving for 10 minutes. Everything looks solid and there are no leaks, etc, and...

Okay, thats a totally new look at standalone systems. I do know that with my standalone system I was planning, Reg Reimer was planning to spend about a week tuning it. The tuning alone cost as much (if not more) than the actual standalone and installation. I watched as he tuned a BMW and was a...

sell the car and pick up another one with a clean shell. If your patient, you will find a deal that will probably beat whatever your about to do. So many nice shells with good builds in the US.... but.. most of this depends on your budget.

turkey baster :P

Was just responding to what I took as a typical "omg this guy is stupid" remark, no hurt feelings, they just bug me a bit. Going to see if I have this figured out correctly.... the 2800 rpm - 48% and 7600 rpm - 0% are basic table values for normal operation, meaning that if I am doing a normal...

I worded that wrong... but if your here to slap me upside the head for wording... your just wearing out your keyboard. my AFR's are at 10.0:1 at approximately 3500. "Pig-rich". Satisfied? (All in reference to the dyno sheet) Yes, in the tuning area (not really tuning with only an AFM), I am...

AFPR is set to stock fuel pressure. The only time I get to 10:1 is at WOT conditions from what I can tell. Didn't think running stock fuel pressure with 550's would damage the engine. (91 Octane here btw) As I said earlier, I am new to a lot of this, but from everything I have read and the...

Love the intercooler, very well setup engine bay!

This is easier to understand than what Reg wrote (for me anyway). From what I now understand, the TCCS functions properly all the way up to about 3500 RPM. At that point, it sees max air incoming so dumps max fuel to keep it from leaning out. With my AFPR setup currently, this is allowing my...

Toyota Red Coolant (there is an alternative) is suited best for the 7M's. Tiny bit costly, but is the only coolant I run in these. As for cooling issues, I only had an issue with boosting for long periods of time. Dont know if it was the coolant spiking to hot or if it was just temperature...
