is it the plenum design thats no good? to large a area? or cause it has no runners? cause the the stock 20valve has no runners and has similier plenum design but more boxed shape

at the end of the day its an economy motor, found this prity cool, itbs, turbocharger and nos. looking over a few forums, guy over on zz-series.com is trying this, also seen aza over there....

lol

the thing thats got me worried is why no one has tried this before, there must be a reason why. either its a stupid idea or its to hard to get right.....i dont mind investing the time and money into this as long i know i have a chance of making this work rollamods seems to think so

few things i found on the net this morning plenums are $770 for trumpet style and $750 for normal type, quads are $400 i think. i can tell this going to be a massive headacke cant beleave im doing this, i could have a sti sitting in my drive way

me and a friend would be doing all the fabrication work including the pedel box...well mostly my mate ill be handing him tools...that leaves tuning and electrical cause we dont have a clue bout that side of things. now that i know it will work(if it doesnt im pinning this all on u rollamods, just wondering why no one has tried this before? not possible?) guess 1st things 1st research time

standalone/tuning, converting to wire throttle, quads, plenum, possible fuel system upgrade? thought it would be round the 5k mark. still wont throw out the idea of just upsizeing single throttle body

i remember that thread i started the itb question...... well looks like its on, itbs, standalone, custom plenum coming in the new year as long as the cost doesnt get out of hand.....

if what aza51 said is true bout the itbs on the 1zz id be willing to stretch my budget to a motec, what about the option of putting a 2zz manifold on the 1zz will the dbw mate to it? or even the celica dbw rollamods mentioned. edit: just had a look at the thread [tuning a 2zz...it has potential] i think im in over my head with the itbs, although the 1zz doesnt have that much tilt on it

do u have a thing for fujiwara takumi? u bring him up in every post

Could it just be the fan turning on? thats what it sounds like to me....

ive been in plenty of cars with kings in them over the years, cant fault them. they do what they are asked of and that is lower your car not much else....

ive been reading i cant piggyback a dbw only a stand alone will do the job,and i dont want the hastle of converting to cable. eather way ill be upgrading the ecu, if i was to to change to cable might as well go for quads as the ecu will already be in place. the inlet thats on there now is 63mm prity sure, upgrading to some thing like 70mm or even 76mm is this overkill? all i really want to do to the moter is port, a custom plenum and cam upgrade, i want to keep it n/a is 110kw at the weels unrealistic? i now this is alot of money to spend for very little gain

i do that but i ring its more personal....

i curse all facelifts to hell

thought u might say that, are there any after market dbw setups i can plug in/mod loom etc and how will a powerfc react to dbw work fine?

want to ask a question i want to upgrade my throttle body and plenum, the plenum will be custom the throttle body on the other hand is electronic so what are my options with it?

lol

scariest car ive been in to tell u the truth, was 3sgte power 1200 ute could feel the front end lift in 3rd.....

just when u think u seen it all......

have any zre owners actually popped there bonnets and had a look around, a option might be to have a custom intake done not hard any good performance workshop will make short work of this. beats waiting round for bolt ons, just an idea

nice look on your engine cover, are u useing plastic safe paint or a plastic primer before painting cause it might peel off over time, also use fine line tape when masking so u dont get a edge

thx, doesent have to be removed but makes it easier, even if u have to remove only takes bout 10mins catch tank remove battery slides out. allso added rubber to the top of the sheild this morning to completelly seal it off from the rest of the bay

[attachment =7421:Picture_019.jpg]update on battery relocation what u guys think of the finished product, battery sitting just behind the radiator on the left down low

you know i think there are a lot of corolla's out there that would eat your rx for brearfast like mine for instance on 16yr old stock sx rolla suspension i did a 2.09 lap around easter creek race way n open centre diff and 3 previous runs experience i did a 13.7 @ 104.7 mph down the 1/4 no fast corolla's peh The FD was one of the most balanced cars in terms of handling, let alone straight line speed to ever come out of Japan. I already know I'll out handle, and out run you in a straight line by the figures you gave. If your name was Keiichi Tsuchiya, and it was a downhill Touge, then I might be worried would die for sure. you know i think there are a lot of corolla's out there that would eat your rx for brearfast like mine for instance on 16yr old stock sx rolla suspension i did a 2.09 lap around easter creek race way n open centre diff and 3 previous runs experience i did a 13.7 @ 104.7 mph down the 1/4 no fast corolla's peh The FD was one of the most balanced cars in terms of handling, let alone straight line speed to ever come out of Japan.
