Thanks to Brian (aka BlueCrush) and Ebay, got some new toys in the mail this weekend! Let me know what you think.New Supercharger emblems from a Cobalt SS (thanks to Ebay)Water Injection (Can't wait to get this installed, thanks Brian!)Supercharger engine cover cutout template (Thanks again to Brian!)And last but definitely not least, the G Tech Pro SS I've been wanting for a while (Once again, thanks Brian, can't wait to hook this up and test it out!)More to come next week!!!!

Glad to see you got everything ok. I like the S/C emblem. Nice and clean!

Very cool !

More new toys in the mail!!!!!JP Headers (thanks to ultraviolet!)Hella Horns (thanks to Mike aka Ragingfish!)And a B&M Auto Tranny Cooler (ebay)More to install! I'll get around to it sooner or later. I also took some pics of a run I did with the G Tech Pro SS. I have no idea if this is calibrated right (as I reset it after receiving it from Brian ). Numbers seem low, but it isn't designed to give a dyno reading, but a more realistic reading. Maybe Brian can let me know what is readings were like since I can't view them anymore! BTW, sorry for the lousy quality!0-60mphHPTorque

Wow, look at all the nice toys. The G Tech is pretty cool. I had one in the vibe a couple years ago from member cohocarl. Once you get it set up correctly it works very well. Good luck with your installs.

Nice Toys! The G-Tech worked fine for me after I calibrated it. If I remember correctly the HP and Torque numbers were close to stock for me (123 hp & 115 tq) and that was before most of my performance mods. I did everything the book said to do to set it up and that is what I got. I'm assuming you did the correct rmp and weight calibrations?

If you can't get it to read accurately try looking here: http://www.gtechprosupport.com/support/index.htm

I'm really curious about this: What kind of discrepancy (if any) do you see between the RPMs shown on the in-dash tach and the G-meter?I've been thinking that the standard tach is off some (sloping too low past 3K)

It appears to be pretty accurate based on the settings I have now, but you can get it to read all kinds of FU'ed readings if you play with the settings. It gives you like 32 options and based on which you choose it will change the reading on the G Tech. You could be running at 2k and it could be showing 6k!

oooh! G Tech! i would LOVE one of those too! lol. see, this is why i didn't want to go to the track because i knew i'd want to buy all kinds of mods for the LGT. it's soooo hard not to! lol. oh well. and yes, i have a transmission cooler to install as well. just need the hoses and hardware plus someone that knows how to!

As for the cooler, I'm almost positive there is a step-by-step how-to on MO with pics and everything. Definitely need to get on the mods, I know there have to be plenty out there for the Subies!

is that header made for the vibe or celica?? if its made for the vibe kick a$$! if you dont mind about how much was the tranny cooler?nice mods!! if you can take pics while you install them

The tranny cooler I got on ebay for about $60 total shipped. Came in a couple of days too! I will try to take pics, but as with the SC, I was helping last time and probably will be again this time, so I'll try to get as many pics as I can!

Where did you get the header??? its the first one ive heard of made for the matrix/vibe!

Quote, originally posted by northvibe »Where did you get the header??? its the first one ive heard of made for the matrix/vibe!It's the JP Performance header. They had a GB for it a while back both on here and MO. You can still get them from JP but not with the GB discount. Same with the mid-pipe they offer.

Looking at the box, you can use the gtech thingy as a shift light fer your automatic.

How much is the power gain suppose to be on a SC Vibe with the header installed? I must have missed the last post about it.

I must have missed the last post about it.Actually, I'm not sure what the real gains are from a header, but generally on most vehicles headers yeild pretty good gains. We'll see if I can get it dyno'ed once everything is done, but I recall SoCalVibe with all his stuff pulling 166hp I think.

Definitely need to get on the mods, I know there have to be plenty out there for the Subies! i'll have to do a search on that. thanks for the heads up. and i can only slowly start getting mods for the LGT because i PROMISED mav i wouldn't go blow a ton of $$$ on the car. however, i will be saving up for a chip by next spring (i'm hoping). i'm trying to talk my new work place to possible sponsor me a little for auto-x and such. lol. it'll be publicity for them. but if they do, it'll be very small... of course they already give me money towards the car, so in a way, they already do! but, doubtful mav will see it that way. lol. there are a lot more mods for the LGT, but because this is the first year, there is plenty more needed.

WOW i did not know JP made headers for our ride!!! i forgot who it was but they had to get celica headers modified to fit theirs. sweet so when i graduate college i can give my self a full exhaust present
