i never got into 3rd so im not sure how the gearing would figure in. This thing pulls pretty hard when its rollin though. I am not sure about that online calculator either but I was thinkin like 15.8 myself. About .2 slower than M/T 1zz with similar mods. We'll see next month.

Not sure if this is a new request or not. I would be surprised if no one has requsted it. MO.com has theirs but, I don't see why we can't have one as well. Or, maybe we do have one and I didn't see it. Anyways, heres mine. Not very impressive, but, was just there to get some time with the tree. My f...

Hey suckahs,You guys never put me up for Vibe of the month so I'm bailing out! Took off the S/C, CAI, W/I, 18"'s, Emanage, Magnaflow Cat-Back, Custom Triple Gauge pillar pod, Eibach drop springs, E.L. Prototypes header, GM Body Kit...I'm putting it all back to stock and selling it all on Ebay a...

Thanks, Jason. I'll let you guys know how it goes from here.

Is it just me or are these roof capsdifferent from these roof capsThey are both supposed to be from the Psychovibe kit but i dont want them if they look like the first ones. Is this just an optical illusion?

SoCalVibe

I just called SLP to order my Ram-air hood and they told me they were disco. The distributors that I have called don't stock them either so that's out as well. Any ideas? I think I'm SOL. I'm not sure I like the one from RK Sports or not and it looks identical to the one from Street Grafitti.-Mark

As far as the dyno differences, this is best I can find out. It really is apples to oranges. The Dynojet calculates HP based on the acceleration of the drum. versus engine speed. The Dyno-pack is a loaded dyno and calculates off of hub speed vs. the load applied and of course gear ratio is a factor ...

He builds them from scratch, If you need to buy one he has all the schematics now, mine was the first vibe he did. Its almost identical to the matrix and he had done one of those before. It took about a week to get from order date to my door.

Updated dyno results at http://matrixowners.com/forums...84480

SoCalVibe

thanks for the update! where did you accuire the idler pulley? also, have you done any dyno pulls w/ a/f ratio? was curious how the a/f mix is with the unichip setup.-mark

SoCalVibe

awwww come on, you guys already have an extra cam lobe and gobs of hp out of the box Let us litlle 1zz guys shine some

SoCalVibe

Just for archive purposes here. The TRD fit well on my vibe, install was easy. about an hour, it pushed up against my fog lamp a bit, but, otherwise a perfect fit, even with the supercharger.PS, at least twice as much as the Cosmo kit, so it all depends on your budget.

SoCalVibe

Quote, originally posted by TRD4reel Â»Do open a new thread and PLEASE add a sound clip if possible. I'm curious to hear what the vibe would sound like at ideal with cams.InderThats a deal, will just need some eqipment and someone to host it. I'll find a way. I think the dyno guy may do it for me.

Dyno'd today and was able to get the WHP back to 163 and still run the WI, I took out the 100 nozzle and put in the 60 and cranked back the regulator 3 turns from factory setting. Torque still around 137. Thats it for the WI adjustments for now. New thread will be the Greddy install and then do some...

update: dyno'd today. was at 148 whp (Dynojet STD) before the CAI & WI. Today Dyno'd at 163whp with the TRD CAI installed and the WI disabled. I am still trying to get the WI dialed in but with the 100 nozzle and the pump regulator at factory setting I dyno'd at 154whp

SoCalVibe

Ok, I have the snow performance 100 nozzle in and dyno'd today (Dynojet STD) 154whp, 130 ft/lb torque. Heres the kicker. It was way rich on WOT so, just for kicks, disabled the WI. 163whp, 136 ft/lb torque. Spoke with Randall at snow and he recommended 3 turns counter clockwise on the pump regulator...

SoCalVibe

UPDATE: I went with the TRD and it was installed today. Man, what a difference! I ordered the on for the base XR Matrix. The air filter is up against the fog light a little bit but, otherwise, clean install. Dyno results to follow.

SoCalVibe

Got my TRD today for$242.00 from my local Toyota dealer. Their cost is 200.00, so, letting them keep their 17% profit margin sounds fair to me.

SoCalVibe

Quote, originally posted by goodvibe Â»I think that you'll need a stand alone ecu for a higher rev limit and an intercooler for higher boost as the effectiveness will be limited by the heat of higher compression.

Hey Guys, I've been savin my coin for almost 2 years now and "stage one" of my engine mods is almost done. The supercharger is in, the rest of the "stage 1" project includes Snow Perf. water injection, E.L. Prototype header, Magnaflow catback,& TRD CAI. I have an extra 1zz I ...

SoCalVibe

Update: Ordered the TRD CAI, SnowPerf W/I, E.L. Prototype header, & Magnaflow catback. Hopefully with the water injection, the CAI should be OK without getting an A/F controller. Stage one almost complete, then on to stage two. I'll bump this out to a new thread.-Mark

SoCalVibe

Ok, I've been reading alot of the old and recent threads and have made a decision to get the Injen CAI. But Wait! I'm right back where I started. No one has an application for one thats supercharged. (I dont blame them) I know some of you are running the S/C with the CAI. How did you make it fit? Do...

I should have listed my engine mods (and proposed mods). I still am going to go for 10psi on the boost, may need some valve work or maybe cam mod to realize it though.

Has anyone messed around with these pulleys yet? Mine, out of the box, appears to be abot 2.5' overall diameter.

I was at the TRD site and didn't see that application. I tried contacting Ted at toyotaautoparts.com but he no longer works there. They said Chris is the TRD guy now. If you have a link to any data on that TRD CAI for S/C equipped I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile I'll keep diggin'
