damn that's an expensive bit of pipe :P

count the codes and post them, I have the full manual's here. If the light comes on after a while, I'd take a stab that the injectors aren't wired correctly too...

if the SSS driver can drive, you will have no chance. The extra torque of the SR will let them pull away every time. The SR20 N14's can pull a 15 second quarter mile without much fuss, and the motor responds very well to extractors, intake and exhaust.

have you checked for fault codes on the emanage? I chucked an emanage on my chaser today to get rid of the boost cut problem it had after it's recent exhaust and cooler work, and I initially had a constant flashing red light when the engine was running. Checked the codes it was throwing... 24. 25 and 26... which the manual states is no injector pulse on #4, 5 &6.... Checked my wiring and I'd forgotten to splice the emanages other injector drive wires into the chaser's main three injector drivers.

that's the AFM mount and brackets, there's only three bends in the $6 section of tube, one 90deg, one 45deg, and one on a lot smaller angle.

daym, word gets around pretty quick congrats map81.. your sevice dept will probably have a smile on their face when they see you :P ← We know quite a lot of the guys where the car is serviced... They've already had a laugh about it :P

it's very easy to get a copy of the TRD one made. We were quoted $40 to have the MAF mount machined up and welded along with custom mounting brackets etc so the pipe was a perfect fit.

with higher octane the ECU will detect less knock, so the engine can run more timing high in the rev range which is how more power is made. When the ECU detects knock, the timing is retarded which reduces power. You can see this clearly when you connect an ODB2 scanner to your diags port and go for a drive monitoring knock and timing advance.

take note that the harness you have is not from MAP81. I made the harness which is still in Mark's car, the one you have is from someone else. You dont need the injector or ignition harness for the car to run, I'd be triple checking all connections to the harness.

make sure you splice the emanage loom into the right wires. We know someone else on these forums that spliced it wrong and blew up an emanage.

MAP81 know's, I cant remember.

...did you not see the photo's of marks motor with the intake plenum off? It had to be removed to drain out the water, then clean out the residue before attempting to start the motor! The CAI did a good job of filling the entire lower section of the plenum with water.

I took the video's down as the large one was downloaded 1184 times in two days... sucking up 3.4gb of my bandwidth. edit: my stats were updated after yesterday... 2066 downloads and over 6.5Gb of bandwidth used!

I'm not so sure about the "component failure" reason... The skidmarks on the track indicated it could have been driver error. I've got no doubt the impact the car had would have broken the suspension though...

the car was back on the road yesterday...

At the recent CES dyno day/show'n'shine, a stock sportivo put out more power than Craig's unichipped sportivo... quite strange.

downshifted/braked at the wrong time, only one hand on the wheel, balance of the car totally upset, rear end let go... game over :o In that section of the track if you're wide, the undulations can really upset the car. Unfortunately Mark was pushing the limits of the car a little too hard and paid the price. The suspension setup in that car leaves a very fine line for error, if you get it wrong, you're gone. At the previous day with the stock struts and tein springs, it was a lot more forgiving. The changes from the previous Darlington day where Mark had no handling issues, to last weekends event was: Cusco Zero-1's installed Whiteline adjustable front swaybar on softest setting Whiteline rear swaybar. The car's very neutral, but when it let's go, you have to be very concise to get it back. Doing this at 170km/h + is challenging ;) For a view of the same corner in a car that felt a lot less stable than marks car, see this vid: http://www.rollamods.com/videos/Golf_John_lower-track.wmv John held the car at full throttle through the sweeper, I was in the passenger seat, and wouldn't have had the guts to do the same in that car with it's stock suspension...

it's got 24kw ATW more than a stock example... looks stock though hey ;) It's a very suprising car handling wise with the stock 16's, it's the only really "stock" car I have, I didn't expect much from it seeing how it has a crappy torsion bar rear suspension setup the same as the new corolla's. My other car's are a lot more heavily worked over. We've got a vid from the previous Darlington day when it was pushed hard if you'd like to see, http://www.rollamods.com/videos/Golf_John_lower-track.wmv That was John's first run out in the Golf, I thought he did really well. Jason

...you wouldn't have got past my Golf if I had let Michelle drive it to it's full potential. She was instructed to short shift at 5K as it's due for me to change it's timing belt so I didn't want the motor stressed. See you at the next day ;)

The video is being submitted to Australia's funniest home video's ;) Mark might aswell get something for his efforts :D

which clip? if it's the clip from importbitz, it's my 1984 AE71 corolla which was lapping 2 seconds faster than Shao (according to Shao :P)

There's a whole FAQ about corolla brake upgrades at Twincam.org the whole point of the superstrut brake upgrade is to get the twin piston front calipers and the 25mm thick rotors. eg:

also a quick vid of my Piece of ***** corolla having it's wheels driven off by John from http://www.importbitz.com http://www.importbitz.com/images1/darlo-sess4-small.wmv

Mark know's if the motor was lunched I'd have a new one installed by Tuesday afternoon ;) He was lucky toyota designed the intake plenum like they did, all the water was trapped in the lower section and didn't get sucked into the bores which would have bent a rod/broken pistons etc etc. I'm happy about it as now I can work on my other car's instead ;)
