    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Okay, I understand most if this now in theory from reading. The wideband will generally save my car if something is wrong simply by allowing me to see it. However, it won't do anything other then tell me whatsoever happening (hence, it's not that expensuve). More of a telltale gauge, but very...

    So.. with the boost controller, running stock injectors, stock intercooler, stock AFM... 11 PSI is not doable with a CT 26 57 trim? Not sure what to make out of that statement. Taken into account the intake is all stock, the exhaust is 3" (turbo back), and I believe the turbo uses an internal...

    Lol, I know fco from my 87 I bought off of mark lihn. Shimmed wastegate does that. Pretty sure the max boost I will get without it will be 11 psi. I have a Lipp AFM that I can xfer my electronics into (have had for 2 years now). Thinking I will hunt for a wideband system to go along with my...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    Rodels rear spoiler is the only thing that would make me dump my whaletail look. Im setup good as I am for now, but if this goes ahead, I will be in on it. I could care less about the 3rd brake light btw... dont have it with my whaletail...

    Any recommendations on the wideband? I have read about piggyback engine management, wideband and stand alone systems. From what I read if your going to go for precise tuning, you want stand alone. Im not building a track car, so I dont want the laptop experience, just a nice solid "never fail"...

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Do I need to go wideband for a simple street setup? I wont be running 1/4 miles with it on a track, solely driving on highway and around town during summers. If I do have to go wideband and I get the elbow with just the O2 sensor bung, it should be easy enough to add the second bung for the...

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Gonna do the elbow but waitng on injector upgrade. Spending too much $$ as it is, the injectors will wait until after Xmas Will just hold off on the AFM as well and do it all at once with an intercooler. Had I not gone this far I probably would have been better off dumping a 2j vvti setup in...

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Thanks! DM may have one, waiting to hear from them.. if they have it, they will toss it in with the Turbo upon shipping (which will save me a bit). The only problem with that one is the bung for wideband which I am not going to be doing any time soon. Curious that they are so hard to find...

    3" elbow seems to be hard to find... lol.

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Yes, its a HKS 3" downpipe (HKS 3103-RT-003 Downpipe). I havent seen it, but am wondering if I need to do a 3" elbow or if the downpipe replaces that bottleneck... Fairly certain I dont have to worry about it, because I think the downpipe bolts directly to the turbo?

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Headgasket was redone in 2004 (actually.. full engine rebuild at that time). That was about 22,000 km ago mileage-wise. The Headgasket is a Cometic from my records although it wasnt me that had it done. Leakdown and compression tests show everything going perfectly fine right now. Smoke at the...

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    yes, all stock. I do have the LIPP AFM housing (I think I can just xfer my electronics into it) and a MKIV Denso Fuel pump. Maybe I should jump the injectors in as well at this point. I thought that basically I would be okay without doing that until about 19 psi. Still not clear on certain...

    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Actually I should have mentioned, planning on running 11 psi, would like to go 19 psi but worried about stock intercooler and maybe putting a bit too much on my 7m

    1jz on its way!!!!!

    If it was me, I would do all seals, gaskets, timing belt and tensioner, and check the head really closely. I have never looked at doing a leakdown test on an engine outside a vehicle, but at the very least start with a compression test. Any parts removed look at very carefully for any corrosion...
