i could pull the sprayer and put a plug in its place. I doubt the air pressure would be enough to cause the injector to leak, but wouldnt want to put anyone in a predicament where it was. Standby, illl see if I can set it up so it wont be an issue at all.

4azdmunky

Its a little over 35$ to ship it, so $75 total for the CAI, the dry filter, shipped. The tube is tapped with the meth injector, so this includes the injector. Is that still okay?

4azdmunky

I do still have the COSMO CAII used the meth injector to spray windshield washer fluid before the supercharger to cool the air charge. This allowed me to safely run 2.1 pulley and mitigate the heat.The snow pump was ran from the EMU that I recently sold. The snow MAF controller box no longer worked....

Hi All I have had several people ask this or that about how I had my car setup. So I decided to brain dump what I learned here for search fodder.For DBW, you will need the adapter plate to make it work. The instructions say to move over 2 studs from the old setup, I just used some extra bolts that w...

4azdmunky

naw bro roll with it, if it helps others and get this stuff sold, i dont care.

4azdmunky

I ran with a COSMO CAI no problem. I picked up a 45 degree elbow from these guys:http://www.siliconeintakes.comthey are cheap in cost and fast in shippingtotally understand the GF I picked up a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.7 MDS, Laramie , 24 hrs later I had a CAI on the way....wife is pissed...oh well, g...

The 5th injector is mounted on the bottom by the throttlebody. Im not sure what the size. If you go with a 550 CC injectors you dont need to even wire up the 5th injector.I had the 2.1 pulley on it and with the emanage+water injection I was able to peak out at a little over 10lbs of boost. I put the...

SO for the TRD ECUThe pins changed between 2004 and 2005. All I did was cut off the end of the factory harness, and wire it accordingly to the 2005 pinout, using an old Boomslang i had sitting around.

4azdmunky

The TRD ECU is for automatic, thanks for point that put, I'll add it to the post.it does include the adapter, and harness, however i had wired the harness up to a boomslang because the adapter does not work with 2005 DBW.

Magnuson was saying it was the velocity of the water drops that "sand blasted" the coating...yeahWindshield washer fluid contains methanol, just not as good a boost juice, more watered down. It provided the cooling effects of water, with just a touch of meth. Would have loved to have tried...

4azdmunky

Totally understandBTW, updated first post to include statement that all prices are negotiable...odd thought I had that in the origional post..oops

4azdmunky

i sent it in for "warranty" work, since it started grinding. They called me back stating that the impeller coating was stripped off, and that that SC was not designed for water/meth injection and that using the water inject invalidated the warranty. I called BS, i was only running windshie...

4azdmunky

I tapped the windshield washer res and injected -20 or -32 windshield washer fluid. This royally F'd the SC up. I paid Magnason to rebuild the SC and set it up to work with water/meth injection. They recoated the blades and replaced all the bearings.I dont remember the injector size, It is the small...

4azdmunky

Well it was finally time. I traded in my 2005 1zz vibe, but before doing so I stripped off all the performance parts I could.So now its garage sale time, everything must go. Below are the asking prices minus shipping.Still for sale 550CC Injectors (used for 3 days), 4 ea - $230 1000CC Injectors (use...

4azdmunky

yeah ive pulled mine a couple times from the top both with and without the tranny. It clears with about 1/2 inch.i used a foldable engine hoist from harborfreight, and adjusted the arm length while 1/2 way in and out to clear everything.lessons learned:drain tranny, when the half shafts are pulled i...

4azdmunky

Sold and shipped, thanks BlueCrush

4azdmunky

Hey BlueCrush, I have an extra Emanage Blue (modded to EM Gold) with a SC map for Denver (5280 ft) already loaded. If you or anyone else is interested, ill let it go cheap. I went to a EMU and V-Manage so its sitting around doing nothing.

4azdmunky

Sensors or bad wiring harness. Is there a ToyDoctor in your area? I have had good luck with them for those things I cant do in my driveway.

4azdmunky

You should see improvements from Seafoam very quickly, right after it clears out and all that white smoke goes away. Did you happen to get pictures of the PCM install? That would add to your case that the stealership is jerking you around.With that poor quality of workmanship, i am still thinking it...

4azdmunky

crap, how frustrating for you. After 200 miles, it should have sorted most of itself out.If the noise is under the dash, the only thing I could think of is AC since the hoses run into the cab between the cab filter and the center dash. â€¦hmm I wonder if your AC compressor clutch is failing. If it i...

4azdmunky

LOL... i hear you brother, my wife hates me modding too..I just braced my socket wrench and tapped the ignition to turn the engine a little and that easily removed the bolt.For putting it back on, I tightened it as far as I could, then did the same thing again with the socket reversed. *USE LOCK-TIT...

4azdmunky

The 1zz makes some interesting noises, which I have learned through trial and error, point to specific things.Like the Oil Control Valve failing will cause upper engine tickingA slipping belt (or loose pulley) causes all sorts of cool things (esp. with a SC)The VCV by the airbox (esp. with CAI) not ...

4azdmunky

Also, what happens when you disconnect your battery, press and hold the brake until the dash lights go out, and reconnect? Any improvement?

4azdmunky

Hmm, are there any mods done to the car?shooting from teh cuff this sounds like either the PCM trying to re-learn, the wires going into the PCM are suspect (try removing the glove box and press on the wires going into the PCM and see if you get RMP change etc..), or some sensor is out but not throwi...

4azdmunky

That looks about right. I usually get mine through Amazon, however I run a smaller belt due to supercharger and smaller pulleys.the 4060 part of the number looks right, and 74 would be its length....I think I have a 4060680 or around there

4azdmunky

Also, crawl under the dash and look at ..i think its AM2 fuse. Middle of top row , 15AMP fuse. I just blew mine two weeks ago and it was doing the same thing. No CEL, crank but no fire.

4azdmunky

Mine just went out, seems to be a reoccurring 73K mile part. I tried the 20 min way of replacing the actuator from the radio hole, gave up after 2 hours. Took me 5 min to pull off the dash, 10 min to replace the actuator, 10 more minutes to fix some sloppy wiring i did with my carpc install, and ano...

4azdmunky

He does, mine is DBW.

4azdmunky

I sent mine in last year. I was happy with the service and the turn around time. (removed) dyno registered a slight increase in peppiness. I think Im hearing the butterfly flutter (rattle) now between 13-17% throttle, however it could have been my supercharger idler pulley that just failed. The new ...

4azdmunky

Ive been curious about NOS as well. monkeywrenchracing.com has a kit that is reasonable.

4azdmunky

Yes you can use it in your vibe, I had had one for about 3 years. I started when the car was N/A and didnt notice any improvement in HP. It did help when I finally installed the SC and had the e-manage tuned by MAC Autosports. However it is not a 40hp increase. Part of that might be because I'm not ...

4azdmunky

uhmm.....as far as I could tighten it Had to use a strap wrench to keep the shaft from spinning, and tightened it until it spun in the strap wrench.

4azdmunky

Loc-tight!...LOL I ended up re-adjusting the pulley shims, however I went to 2.1, with disabling the bypass valve and got it up to 10 lbs.

4azdmunky

Hmmm. what happened?

4azdmunky

lucked out, turned out the pulley was loose. A little LOC-Tight and a socket, and its all fixed.

4azdmunky

I already have a gatorback belt, I was wondering if it was 1/2 a rib off or something and was causing a vibration. I'll check that out in the morning.Thanks!

4azdmunky

So, now that I've had the car running for a little over a month without any issues, the S/C started grinding again. Its not as bad as last time where it sounded like a rock tumbler, but each day it gets a little worse. Not looking forward to another $800 rebuild bill on this thing, anyone know how t...

4azdmunky

So it eneded up being a defective oil pump in the transmission. Swapped it out with the one from the transmission i blew, and it works now.it was down for almost 2 months...blah.

4azdmunky

Ok, I reset the Torque Converter again last night and the transmission still is not engaging. Before I rip this all out again, I noticed that the repair manual states to reset the memory. The TSB's state to use the Toyota Diagnostic Tester Kit to reset for these transmissions. My question is, do I a...

4azdmunky

Yeah I put a qt in the torque converter.Glad you like the pulley! I'm missing mine, cars been down for a month

4azdmunky

So i ended up having to replace my transmission this month. Ordered a low milage transmission from LQK. Drained all the fluid, installed a phantom grip and new pan gasket.Dropped the engine and tranny back in yesterday, however the transmission will not engage any gear (i did get about one revolutio...

Is IPT the only company that has valve bodies for the A246E?http://www.importperformancetr...YIRJCSpent a week looking and didnt find anything. Would like to convert to manual, but dont want to spend that much money.

4azdmunky

gave up throwing money at this tranny. I'm buying a new one on ebay. It would have been cheaper and done by now.

4azdmunky

Does anyone know of a source for a differential for a A246E transmission? What I thought was a broken CV Joint turned out to be a worn out differential. I've been looking around online, and it appears that my only option is to buy a Quaife for close to a grand, which I dont want to do. I tried going...

4azdmunky

Sweet! let me know what you think after running with it.

4azdmunky

Yeah its working great, worth the time investment of having my car down for a week.
