Stop Teaseing us , already , you gotta drive it to break it in

It's alright Garm , just winding you up

CtrlAltDefeat · 08-03-2009, 03:50 AM

hey garm, could this be done with a daily driver, such as leaving the AC in and everything?

cali yaris · 08-03-2009, 03:54 AM

sure, why not? I plan to drive the car a lot!

CtrlAltDefeat · 08-03-2009, 06:10 AM

well, I know you stripped out the AC, and I'm willing to bet you've changed some parts to increase power/increase noise/decrease comfort... My real dream is to do a sports luxury conversion... turbo built motor + premium interior/ICE (trimming weight as much as possible to keep the sport side of things) so I was wondering if everything you've done will fit with the AC intact

cali yaris · 08-03-2009, 12:36 PM

You could keep the A/C with everything I've done except the custom radiator (no room for the a/c condenser with mine). I ran this car for months after it was turbo'd; there's nothing different with a built motor looking at it from the outside.

CtrlAltDefeat · 08-03-2009, 05:48 PM

hmmm but the custom radiator is necessary?

cali yaris · 08-03-2009, 06:20 PM

not for a street car, in my opinion.

Keith Tinari · 08-03-2009, 07:42 PM

okay so wheres the street vid!

cali yaris · 08-03-2009, 07:48 PM

quoting myself:

not quite ready to street drive yet

as soon as it's broken in. Dyno tuning will be in approx. two weeks.

Keith Tinari · 08-03-2009, 07:58 PM

Im very excite!

Treyz · 08-04-2009, 02:06 AM

That vid brought a tear to my eye. And now I go to bed.

Garm, I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

Parmas · 08-04-2009, 02:22 AM

Just curious why did you install the AEM boost solenoid on the intake?

BTW pros for the quality video there!

cali yaris · 08-04-2009, 03:32 AM

why not?

And I like hearing the solenoid clicking when boost activates and it seems like the bov sound is heard from the sintered muffler. I wsh I took pics of the installation but I was too exited to make it work :)

cali yaris · 08-04-2009, 01:48 PM

I would rather keep the vacuum/bost lines in the engine bay, and the runs as short as possible. I don't think the temp of those lines is going to make you any more or less power.

But that is just MY opinion, there are plenty of people on here that know more than me.

Length is not a problem neither since turbo pressure, wastegate and bov infront of the driver side. I will try to post some pics about these
