i have the same rims, 18" ADR m-sports love em, till you curb them lol
So don't curb them silly.
I know -- easier said than done. Approach "everything" that remotely looks like a "lip" in the pavement with the tire at 90 degrees -- this way tire crawls up & over whatever, and rim avoids CURB.
If you are curbing due to tire roll -- then WOW you are a solid driver who likes the twistys and has more ballz than i do. :aigo:
SupraDreamPDR -
all good questions.. firstly - good luck with your swap. I can't take credit for the one in mine. Done by a guy out of Georgia and some well known Motorsports shop down there; i forget the name of the shop. I drove down to South Carolina to buy the car sevearl years back... dude ran out of money after he got the swap in and running.
To me, the hard work was done -- drove it home to Ohio (leaking coolant and all) and started the little stuff. Had help from Russ at Accelerated Performance on a handful of stuff too. (the guys over at AP are awesome!!!)
The injectors are 550cc. I bought them off ebay where the seller swore to me they were 550cc's from an MR2 Turbo, he had 4 of them and showed me where to go to buy the the remainder 2. I ended up doing that in the end; but along the way someone else mentioned this was impossible because the MR2 never had 550cc injectors.
Either way in the end Russ at AP said they were 550cc's from a US Supra -- i got a nice deal on them. The Aristo's are 440cc so you are kinda limited in upping the boost there.
But really no matter almost -- fuel cut is something like 13.x psi for more than 1 or 1.5 seconds. And I really don't think you can get much over 15psi (even with 550cc injectors) when running the Aristo ecu, even with HKS Fuel cut defense to prevent the 13psi fuel cut (engine gets rich because its dumping fuel for 14psi - but factory setting is a VERY rich mixture for 14psi level, so you can eak out a few extra pounds and keep an acceptable afr). But the problem is also you are NOT changing the timing at all... So at say 17psi, 18psi --- you are MAYBE dumping enough fuel, but you are DEF running very aggressive timing that was designed from manufacture to support only 14psi.
Its a risk, albeit somewhat calculated. I won't try to go over 15psi on this Aristo ECU; some folks do try to go to 18psi. Bad Idea is all i have to say if you really want the engine to last a long time. I'm actually parking it for the rest of this season --- I don't want to ruin alot of good work for being impatient..
Next spring will be Standalone or bust for me.
Exhaust is custom 3 inch straight-thru, MagnaFlow muffler (really loud, sorta obnoxious if you're a female; music to my ears though) header i'm not sure on -- can snap some close pics of the layout and provide to you. Its somewhat different than alot of the 2JZ swap's i've seen into MKIII's. The turbo nipple comes up from below and points towards the sky, if that helps. Most peops have turbo nipple point hard to the right (as you stand in front of the engine and look at it) and they hook the piping at 90 degrees towards the front of the car and then over/down from there.
Guess ya gotta see it to get an idea. I'll post some pics soon.
