Quote, originally posted by AKLGT Â»and xrs06, have you been back to the track yet? Really believe with a little more track time, those times will come down quite a bit. 107 mph traps is 12 sec territory.Actually, I took the engine apart last fall in order to put some Mahle and drop the compression ...

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT Â»here's an in-car vid of the tac. This was July 18, 07, one of the first runs I hit 12 sec in the LGT last summer (finally!) running against Mav's stock 07 STI.

xrs06

Unfortunately for you guys, the S/C, at one point, is putting more hot air than anything else.Would suck to spend lots of $$$ to build the tranny only to be limited to 180whp max...

xrs06

It all depends what your goals are. How many whp are you looking for? The best S/C set-up will net you around 180whp. Turbo will beat that without sweating.Another way to look at it:1- The S/C will stay within the "reliability" limit of the 1ZZ.2- The turbo will need some engine upgrade (e...

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT Â»well, just remember, every dyno is different. even riotrix's hopped up xrs ran 290 whp on a dyno. he took it to another one, same set up and ran 240 whp! that's a HUGE difference! The time that Denny's car made over 290whp was when Jay Hass dynoed it himself. So n...

Super price but for a Super job!Thumbs up!

There is no such thing as a miracle product. Basically you want one that does not affect rubber. Some are cheap and they will deform your rubbers (under the hood rubber, door rubber...), so you need to pay attention to that.Second, the guy might use the best product on the market but if he misses sp...

xrs06

Get those 2 installed ASAP and come back with some value.It will then be easier for everybody to give you the best advise regarding your problem.

xrs06

You should get a wideband o2 sensor to know the real condition. Without one, you're blind!If you run too rich (in the 9's of afr), you'll get cylinder wash, which means gas mixed with oil. Really bad for lubrication...

xrs06

Well guys, the last 2 years have been a hell of a ride. I've learned many things since my trix has been my first project car. In those 2 years, I've racked more than 10k miles without a single engine or transmission glitch with my turbo kit. The only part that gave (and still giving) me a hard time ...

I've never seen one of those supercharger in person.Now I now that many on 9thgencorolla has it so you might have more luck asking there.

Quote, originally posted by Petrucci914 Â»So, once you push it through the firewall by the steering column, how do you get it in the air duct? I would assume that it's all sealed, if not, is there an obvious opening when looking to the right of the gas pedal?You don't need to put your line in the ai...

xrs06

Those thinking about the Perrin gauge, you just need to split the trim between the steering wheel and the dash. Then it should hold with a few screws going through the upper part of the trim. So when and if you need to go back to stock look, you just need to buy that trim.

xrs06

Quote, originally posted by Kamikaze Â» only problem is, you will have to take your dash apart so that you can route the line from the S/C thru the firewall and up thru the vent to the guage. Too bad you don't live closer, it sounds like it could be a fun Saturday project... I'm sure it will take a ...

xrs06

Or you could buy the Perrin gauge pod. I'm actually thinking about going that route.http://www.vividracing.com/cat.../5055

Well guys, pretty much my first time out of the Quebec section so go easy on me!I installed an original Hass turbo kit in june of 2006 on my matrix with the 2zz.
