No performance mods. That's stock baseline, 87 octane gas.

I'll read through the thread in a minute to see what was done to the heads, but a car with headers and exhaust made 102hp and 96tq. Are you happy with those results?

I am in no way trying to put you down with the money spent already, but a tune would probably go a long way along with some other tweaks.

How come you no come to track? Aren't you in NN? I totally jacked your thread, btw.

I would have liked too, but Ive had to much stuff going on lately. Inbetween work and the family, spare time is rare. Its taken me 4 days split over three weekends to redo my stereo because every time I got started something would come up and take priority... (sigh)... as it is,on the last day I rushed to get it all finished because I havent had a radio since I started. Now I seem to be getting some ground loop noise witch Im going to have to dedicate another weekend into tracking down and eliminating

as for the thread Jacking, its all good man. Based off of what youve been posting, I'd say this thread should have been yours anyway

ah ok baseline of your stock car, your posts were like im going to change this and this then baseline so i thought you meant baseline of just a stock car with heads

[frownonfun]

how did i just notice this thread? subscribed.

Any progess to report H3LlIoN???

[H3LlIoN]

Yup yup. I got in touch with Bill last night...he is busy whitling away at my head and cams. He expects that they will be shipped back out and headed my way by the end of next week. In the meantime, I have been trying to track down the xB gas pedal assembly, linkage and tb whip but, as of yet, have been unsuccessful. I might just end up ordering these through my contact at toyota. I have also been in touch with my tuner, and he is expecting me in approx two weeks time to get the cams dyno'd all by themselves. I am also working on getting a spot in the toyota bay this coming weekend so that I can plug me car in to the TSI techstream with the hopes of determining what ECU adjustments are available via the actual toyo channels. At the moment, my car is limping around in stock form as car parts galour adorn my spare room.

And for anyone curious as to what this is involving, and why there is a "donate" link in my sig,

return car to stock (done)
dyno (done)
pull engine
install cams
reinstall engine
dyno
pull engine
install head/pulleys/tb/whatever else I want
Reinstall engine
dyno.

Again, you're welcome. Now donate! :-P

What gains are you expecting to make?

[H3LlIoN]

Alright, just got off the phone with Bill...he was shooting to get mine headed out tomorrow, but he has a tc head on the flowbench atm, and has to finish it before he can put mine back on there to double check it, so he said should go out monday, tues by the latest, and should be in my hands by Fri.


Spectacle...Gude claims 10% gains with head package, IIRC. With supporting mods (full intake/exhaust/pulleys/camcon), I'm hoping to beat the blitz s/c gains which, according to Turbo magazine's tests, hp went from 98 to 119.
Link to Turbo writeup.


Camell...next post.

[H3LlIoN]

P.S. gnome...we'll be headed to the track again soon, possibly as early as this coming friday, if you are interested. I know it's short notice, will try and give you more of a heads up next time.

[H3LlIoN]

Don't know what to tell you. The toyottech I am talking to is a very close friend of mine, so he will tell me the truth instead of the normal legal answer. I asked him if he had tuning abilities, and he said that he honestly didn't know. He said that some toyotas give have adjust-ability and that he could do in shop, and others can't. Only way to find out is to plug in and try, so that's what they doing. Will know more after but, if this works, I highly doubt you are going to be able to walk in to any toyo dealer and ask for this without some kind of special relationship.

[Nexus1155]

you forgot the other steps at the end.

ECU Tune
dyno again

check out www.car-part.com for junkyard listings of the parts you need. I am sure you'd find it there for fairly cheap

[GnomeBody]

I keep hopeing someone will develope something similar to this solution for the tC

Now granted, it would be about as expensive as a standalone, but I think it would keep it street-legal atleast.

[GnomeBody]

I was reading through this TS-SS002-07(TECHSTREAM ECU FLASH REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE) and Im lead to believe Camell might be correct.

[H3LlIoN]

I keep forgetting all of you guys are worried about "street legal." Not sure why, Gnome, they don't hook our ECUs up here in VA. Anyway, Dezod (half the design team on that ECU) is pretty active in the 1NZ xB community, so I wouldn't be surprised if something rolls out from them. I'll pm a couple people and see what I can find out. Regarding the techstream info, I've already posted my thoughts on the issue...I won't further speculate until I get in to the shop and have actual info to comment on.
