Lol, a diy, el cheapo charger solution is discussed and i'm not involved. no respect for the old timers I tell ya. in theory its possible. of course the thing would need to be built just like a real supercharger, then you'd need a BIG electric motor to reach the torque and power of the motor AND you'd need a very powerful electrical source to run it. Afterall that you'd need an ECU and MAF/MAP that could handle the extra whooosh of air Someone did the maths on it before and it was approx the number of Amps equivalent to a boot full of car batteries to get the charge required for decent "boost" There was a guy in the US that built them as "rechargable" NOS like systems and it involved having loads of extra batteries in the boot too. Mmm.... old topics rehashed

it the previous generation passat mate. just figured it was time to get a phat cruiser and chill. still miss my hatches tho. wait wait.. is that actually white? doesnt look like it.. <_< btw.. what VW is it?? looks nice!!!

lol, yeah, i actually wanted these in shadow chrome, but the guy i bought it from took them and got it powder coated in pearl silver and clear coated. then discovered they didn't fit the car lol. his loss my gain. one day they'll be chrome again ;)

Hey hey, congrats on the new car. AEM make a nice CAI for that celica, or contact danz who may be able to shed more light on the subject. oh, and take the caps lock off. all caps makes it seem like you're shouting at us. Torque is a tricky thing with N/A screamers like this one. Did you mean up on the high end in lift? or low / mid range? Realistically unless you start going forced induction, the best gains you'll get is a ith an exhuast and an intake, and that won't gain u much at all.

Whoa... flash back to my very first mod. and meeting danz for the first time. lol. I think in an old thread danz did a hard drive run on a cold night post mod and foudn that the TB was still cold to touch after the spirited driving. I doubt canberra's cold weather will be much of an issue as I've had my rolla up in the mountains with the mod done and cold starts were fine.

those that might remember will noticed I've actaully RAISED the car *gasp* shock! that's coz the oil pan on stock cars rests 4 inches off the ground and when you've dumped it to 2 fingers height... well lets just say i've had enough of nervousness over speed bumps. It rests a respectable 3 fingers off the tyre now, and i sleep much better at night.

Thought I'd show off my shiny new Carlssons.

Did I read correctly that you paid over 4k for that sound system? No offense but methinks you should have gotten better advice regarding the gear you put in. Did you sealed the service holes in the doors did you just use the dynamat or did you put some plywood / mdf under? Else the dynamat has been known to flex under doof without proper backing (even with multiple layers)

The engine will not allow you to engage lift when its cold. as for the rest of the bogging, lets see what the others have to say bout that.

Yeah, don't worry, its just like that for fitting. Our egg head reakons the kevlar belt will the the trick but i'm thinking of retro fitting a chain system in there, it'll be able to take the abuse much better.

Sigh, i was hoping for some feed back on the engine build too. Have a look at the block again and you'll see some of my own custom work to bung our magic power source in. Because I'm not too familiar with holden running gear i'm not sure if i've used the right gears. See the yellow power gear in the front of the block? Thats where all the torque is made! i just hope the rolla sub fram can take it

Righto, its been a long time since i've had my rolla, but i couldn't resist when i saw a blue stivo come on the market cheap, the fool had tried to fiddle with FI and blown the engine up so I picked it up as rolling stock to build a weekend dragger (CAMS license only) will I go a new 2zz in? Heck no! I got a special lil box from the Holden factory sitting in my garage ready to go. its all easy once you stop needing to worry bout getting it road registerted. fitting stuff under the bonnet? A thing of the past, we're going to have most of the block sticking out like the american draggers of old. The most impressive thing? this baby is going to run off veges and nuts! I don't understand the exact science of it but our team engineer works for the CSIRO in alternative fuels and has come up with this. We're in the final stages of negotiations for corporate sponsorship from the energy companies to promote green fuels. Here's a pic of the prototype engine. no dyno figures yet, we're still in build phase but i'll post up more details when I have more info. Green Power!

Good old eonon and belcanto Head units. I remember when big bum and i both had these. for what they do, you are awesome units and i've never had any issues with the installation for these things. Just remember not to expect a full blown SQ unit out of these. They make noise, and the look bling. As i understand it there are a few different models around by a couple of different factories, it could have been a loom issue (i.e. wrong pinouts = voltage to wrong pin = boom) hope you get your money back.

glad to see the ole forum hasn't lost any of its spirit! Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight!

You don't need to tamper with the ODO, just get a new dash cluster and pop it in and BAM! Your ODO numbers have changed. Tried and tested people, If you want to test this, try do it with a friend with the same camry, just swop the clusters and see what happens
