CAI and Exhaust (+header if your willing) would help that so called torque hole we are talking about or a PFC :D

It will not affect the ABS brakes, just like how it will not affect the air bags :D Well I got mine hard wired into the car. I don't think it will be too hard to reverse the wiring at all. If your after something that is plug and play (well kinda), then try sourcing a Fields Harness and use that to tap into the existing harness. Then you can swap them around. I couldn't be bothered with it at that time, lol. Once you've got the PFC installed it sets the path for more exotic mods, such as valve springs, valves and stg3 cams :D If the missus was not an issue then I would've of had a greddy s/c kit sitting on the table :(

I think with the ZRE corollas, a turbo is kinda outta the question. Unless of course you would like to spend alot of $$$$ to make it happen, but that would be alot of complications. Only had a brief look into the engine bay and there doesn't seem to be much room, unless of course you go the remote mount option. A supercharger looks like a good option, although it would be a bit tight in the front as well. I'm sure a light tune with piggyback hardware and you would be able to squeeze a fair few kilowatts, provided your tuner doesn't go nuts with the ignition etc....and even then if your able to get a nice increase in torque it would be nicer to drive day to day. Also I'm curious about the a/f of the 2zr engines being so damned efficient I wonder if they are running it a bit lean to get those figures....

9.95 Problem with Temp Gauge

Your car doesn't look that fast bill......but it sure is. Wheel spin in third gear at low revs.....****!! I find it hard pressed to find a car that would beat you.......should try to run the speed limit against a ferrari one day or a porsche.......that would be absolutely classic........not that I'm encouraging you

Took it out for a spin just then when the ground was dried up a bit, and its worth it. I'll admit that I was bit disappointed with the peak power number though But the car reaches lift so much quicker and with lift set at 5400rpm I don't wait as long. On the stock ECU it seems to take forever, but now it gets there so freakin quick. Also the sound of the engine is different when its accelerating, it doesn't have that strained noise that its struggling to get up to speed. Car doesn't bog when getting off the line, but now I'm greeted with tyres scrubbing the road for traction. Just think about it, 3000rpm worth of lift!! So who's next?

Car is so much easier to drive, it pulls away much better then before. If you look around at all the dyno graphs and the shape of it you'll realise that Unigroup produces excellant result, try and find a tuner that can set lift at 5400 and not lose any power while charging you a reasonable price. Took about 17 hours I think.

Got my car back from the dyno, wasn't happy with the peak power figure of only 5.2kws if you ask me. Because of the light rain, I had trouble driving the car as it kept spinning really easily in the first two gears at low revs, so I was quickly shifting to get into third gear. The car pulled really hard outside of lift in third as that was the only gear I could get it to test in and even then the wheels were slightly slipping in third gear in the wet. Lift in third gear and my tires are slipping. My car is also in lift for 3000rpm....lift set at 5400rpm, redline at 8400rpm. My graph is up to your interpretation, but I'm damn happy with it if you ask me.

Bah its forcast to rain over the weekend, there goes that trip. I should be getting my car back by today, might install my gauges over the weekend.

Well depends on your car really, I find that the red matches up with the cluster very well. You left out your clock, do that as well!! Also, ALPINE HEADUNITS ROCK!! lol

A heavier gear knob (>400g) would help quite a bit with the gear changing. I've currently got a TRD shortshifter, RAZO 480g gear knob, TWM shifter base & cable bushing and I love it. The heavier gear knob will help with the notchiness, which I don't mind actually cause it feels more solid.

See everyone!! You heard it from the MOTM!! Show some more support guys!! It will be a blast!!

Depending on how I go with my finances I might be able to squeeze in two Pirelli Dragons for the front or potentially Re001 just before the day, if anyone opens on the easter long weekend that is... At this stage I doubt I get my car back in time, fingers crossed though!!

last group by was around 260 delivered I think. Try nengun.com and check out the prices there or maybe greenline.jp

My car has a twinloop in it if you were listening to it when I left lastnight after installing the PFC so that should give you an idea bill. I think you should sticky this as it is, I really don't think people would read the sticky that says 'previously covered topics'. Should change the thread to 'Mods for your Sportivo'

Just adding a little bit of humor to the boy racer thing thats all... Hmm....its long weekend, two days to prep the car a little for the track.......it might end up looking a little dangerous then If I grab the seats that Jase is selling then that would be badass day for me....

Long story cut short, I didn't complete the harness.....an unfortunate accident meant that its in pieces. I got the installer that sorted out Xoom's problems to install it for me and it works like a champ. No hunting or anything of that sort with full load accessory while driving, Temp issue could not be resolved as usual. Will be getting a trio of gauges to add to spare din slot. Driving home was funny on the pre-tuned map!! Because the Japanese have really nice fuel, you drive it nice and slowly and keep the revs as low as possible so as to not ping the engine. I had an old lady in an old beatle battling off the line and I got to tell you she owned me by half a car length up the hill. Wide open throttle and you could hear the car pinging, so I was driving on partial throttle and changing gears at around 2800rpm. Will be dropping it off the tuners and hopefully I'll be back in one weeks time to show the results.

I find my dyno curve to be nice and smooth which is a bit odd. I've looked at all the other dyno curves on this site as well as over at newcelica. The PFC is going in tonight and dropping it off at the tuners this saturday.

Yeah it does feel that way though. It looks as if I could raise my lift engagement point lol, which I don't want to of course. Peak power appears to be still rising though...I'm so excited at this stage, only problem is that when the car is back it will be the easter long weekend

Thats what I noticed too!! So it wasn't my eyes that were messing with me I'm curious to the way this curve turned out, I wonder if its because of all the highway driving I've been doing since I started this new job....

Finally got around to putting my car on the dyno!! Oh well I was hoping for around 115kw, wasn't too far though. Mods are CES CAI (Dirty K&N, there goes my 0.01kw) 2.5" Catback X-force Twinloop S10 Will produce another dyno graph towards the end of next week after the installation of the PFC & with Tuning!! Special Thanks to... Xoom Unigroup Engineering And my fellow Australians for producing an excellant exchange rate against the Jap Yen.

Crappy Exhaust System!!

Yeah thats what I was thinking. You'll definietely have an edge over me as I have crappy tyres. But hopefully the PFC will cancel out the king springs and Re001's. I have Tein coilovers and I'm not even going to bother putting them on at all More ppl!!

Bah Current Mods Suspension Rear Sway bar Front Strut bar Engine CES CAI 2.5" Catback S10 Twinloop PFC (hopefully) Tyres Crappy ones Just going out there for a bit of fun. Sometimes we take it too seriously lol I'm planning to take the car as it currently is after the PFC and tuning is done. I just recently changed oil and filter as well as completely flushing the brake and clutch lines and put in some DOT 5.1 fluid. So no fancy brake fluids/pads/tyres. I'm even using OEM shocks/spring combo!!

I'll update the names, and maybe give them a call tomorrow when I'm free.
