I'll be watching to see more pics/updates. I think I'll be getting that LSD in the next year or so :)

Holy crap!

That thing has got to be LOUD! Just imagine the sound of doing 100+ mph in reverse.

ttr125fan09 · 09-21-2011, 12:39 PM

only got one question, can this be done in a slack-o-matic?

Bluevitz-rs · 09-21-2011, 12:58 PM

Nope. Totally different guts in a slushbox.

cali yaris · 10-03-2011, 01:42 AM

And as Art put it in his email, "KABOOOM!!!"

cali yaris · 10-03-2011, 01:42 AM

and... Bam! Art, you're really, really good.

Maitre_Te_Te · 10-03-2011, 07:55 AM

nice job!

CrankyOldMan · 10-03-2011, 08:17 AM

So in his opinion, would it have been easier to just drop in a whole output shaft and diff from an xB instead? I know the bearing preload would have to be checked and likely adjusted, but that has to be done anyway, right?

cali yaris · 10-03-2011, 02:18 PM

Don't know the answer to that.
I do know that he did NOT need any special Toyota tools to do this.

Flipper_1938 · 10-03-2011, 02:46 PM

How long until you get to try it out?

cali yaris · 10-03-2011, 02:57 PM

^ Soon. Next is replacing the turbo manifold (which was cracked in several places), then a couple of small things I wanted done, then button it up and go for a drive!

cali yaris · 10-25-2011, 02:38 AM

Picked up the car, and all I can say is "whoa baby"! It's BEAST!

This is not for the weak of heart; definitely a performance mod. If you don't want 3500 @ 70 mph, more in-cabin noise, etc., it's not for you. If you want your power band available right now, it's sweet.

Hoping to race a little on Thursday night.

Nice! I'm curious about the increase in cabin noise: is it just from having higher RPM at the same speed? I think the solution for us DD-ers for highway speeds at lower RPM is to get the 5th gear setup from an '03-ish Matrix/Vibe 5-speed.

cali yaris · 10-25-2011, 12:54 PM

^ My cabin noise is amplified by several things: 3" turbo-back exhaust, TRD motor mounts, gutted rear panels, no baack seat, etc. So 4000 rpm is LOUD in my car, might not be so much in a stock car.

Winding it up produces more noise in general.

Bluevitz-rs · 10-25-2011, 01:21 PM

Is first gear of any use anymore?
