[Race Bred]

where you get that ex. mani and turbo also :)

looking really nice

[HKS]

Man, I bet thats gonna kick some ass. Looks good. Keep us updated.

[Ckanderson]

Exhaust manifold is from Wasabi Garage. Turbo is from Arizona Turbo's. Talk to a guy name Joel, tell him Chris with the t04r sent you. He has h trim's (full garret internals) for 400, 60-1's for 600 and t04r's for 700 (i belive). They are an awesome place, and Joel is a REALLY good guy. I have ran thier turbo for 6 months, no problems, I sent it back to them to be upgraded! Great people.

thanks

[Ckanderson]

it sells for around 800 I am a dealer. it's wasabigarage.com

[Ckanderson]

Per request, here is my DP. it has rust all over it, but it will be ceramic coated before i drive the car.

I dont understand what your asking for.... you want specs on my car?

[Shinobu]

Lookin' good! Keep it up :)

[IJ.]

This is the first thread I've seen on your car so just wanted to know what all you're doing as in which motor/trans/turbo any info at all!

I follow all of the build threads with great interest CK!
(Just thought I might have missed a detailed build thread on your car on the old forum)

[Ckanderson]

ok... here it goes!

1jz
Wasabi exhaust manifold
Turbonetics EVO wastegate (OPEN)
t04 R w/.68 hot side W/ v band outlet
Apex Power FC stand alone
Power FC boost control kit

Custom downpipe
HKS Hi Power exhaust
880 CC injectors
Unorthadox racing aluminum crank pully
1 (so far) walbro
Spec stage 3
PLX m-300 wideband ( a GREAT investment)

Now for the bling items
Turbo R steering wheel

cross drilled and slotted rotors all around
1jz tach, canadian fuel guage (yes it's different)

Thats all i can think of now..

oh and today, i FINALY got my harness in the car.. it's not connected in yet... but it's IN the engine bay! (major achevement!)

[IJ.]

Thanks CK!

LMAO @ the harness!

When I had mine out and the Wolf one ready to install I sat there in a PILE of wires wondering if it'd ever run again!

Good luck and take some more pics please!

[Ckanderson]

Semi Major hurdle crossed today! Pluged in my standalone, and read voltages off the sensors... all were within spec! so that means (so far) my wiring is good!

[OneJoeZee]

so you think you'll break 100hp with this current set-up?

[Ckanderson]

No :(

[csnow]

How do the welds look on the Wasabi? Looks like it is braced pretty good...any weak points that may potentially crack?

[Ckanderson]

Welded perfectly. and no no places that it might crack... it is very high quality

Oh... and my turbo in now in the mail... I am hoping on 2 weeks before she runs!

LOL I can sympathise with this CK it's a bit of a daunting job and all it takes is one (1) bad connection to stop it all from running! (Ask me how I know this) ;)

[csnow]

CK, why did you go standalone? I thought the IJ ECUs were fairly robust and could handle most everthing with a couple of piggy backs.

[Ckanderson]

Because it was offered to me at a price that was VERY hard to say no to. Plus I wanted the ability to change all the parameters. Plus... how many people do you know with a 1jz with a standalone... not many... With this unit I can do SO many different things.. it's crazy. plus I can program in a lean run mode for freeway cruising (17.0:1) so ill get hella good gas milage.

[drunk_medic]

17.0:1? Won't you blow something going that high above stoich? Most of the high hp guys, during power runs, run rich - about 11.8:1, and "perfect" stoichometeric measurement is 14.7:1. Above that is supposed to be lean. At 17, wouldn't your EGTs be skyrocketing?

[Ckanderson]

Since it is at cruise it is alright.

[drunk_medic]

Okay. :D I just didn't want to see anyone's MkIII get "blow'd up". I love these cars.
I just thought that decell would be safe, but cruising still would put enough load on the engine to matter at that AFR. How's 'bout this: Make sure you have wideband and a bad-ass pyrometer if you don't already?

[Ckanderson]

I have a wideband. no need for a pyrometer
