for all you Sydney peeps if you go to westside mufflers tell Brad the owner that i sent you. I know him and spoke to him on the weekend. he'll look after your car and does top rate work.

Yes Brad is a champion at Westside. When I had my stivo i got my CES headers installed there and my 3 different exhausts setups done there as well.

3 systems. can u tell us what they were and which one u have found best?

No worries, glad to provide feedback.

System 1: 2.5 inch catback with Magnaflow muffler

System 2: 2.5 inch catback with Xforce twinloop muffler

System 3: 2.5 inch catback with Apexi WS2 muffler

Note: I did have CES headers and SHIFT CAI as well

Of the 3 systems, the best was the Apexi WS2. It was similar performance wise to the magnaflow just alot quiter, but you do pay for it $$$. The twinloop system was good to keep the noise down but I felt it restricted the power in the top end. All 3 catback systems improved drivability which was the best thing.

The magnaflow was the best soundwise followed closely by the Apexi WS2.

All you need is I/H/E to comfortably hit 98MPH on the 1/4 mile should keep you happy till you move to bigger and better things later on.

Wohooo GO THAI!!!! Good to see your happy with the results and improved drivability, must feel awesome having lift that low and not losing any power at the same time. Also DAMN that price is CHEAP to install/tune the PFC considering it needs to be wired up as its not plug and play.

I have read about your problem on newcelica forums in america. A member there installed a V-Manage and experienced the same problems as what you described, he could lower LIFT but his rev limiter/fuel cut kicked in at 7000rpm. You might want to PM him and ask if he has fixed the problem.

Can someone post a picture of their stock air box connected up. I just want to make sure I know which tubes go where when i take off the CAI. Ive searched the registry but it seems most people have CAI lol

lmao, boy racer...

next time i'll be coming for sure..

i need to save all the money i can for all the spending i'm doing at the end of this month..

HAHA the noodles diet hey. Dont worry it will all be worth it in the end, i wish i could take my car as well but im also saving my pennies lol.

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....

I have just sold them to another TOCAU member who is also a TRACK WARRIOR

I dont think I have anything on that week. Ill come to this meets as my car will be stripped back to stock 2 days after :(

Suprathai, I guess you finished making your harness, if so that is awesome, with the PFC you should get very noticable gains. Dont worry about the dyno numbers, just take it down the 1/4 mile when you are finished and im sure you will get a good time. Many members on this forum have dynos in the vicinity of 110-125kw but dont have the 1/4 mile times or MPH to back them up. That dyno you went to seems to be correct for the amount of mods you have.

I only say this because my car with I/H/E and unichip produced only 112kws at Autotech Engineering and I was quite dissapointed with the result with the money spent. But I took my car down the 1/4 mile and attained a 14.8 second run on my first attempt launching between 3500-4000rpm, with a highest MPH of 96.7. With practice this time can only get lower.

Im looking forward to the results of your beast :spiteful:

has anyone used the normal E10 (93 octane) in their sportivo .....

if you have, how did it affect performance / mileage?

If you did use it I would be driving very conservativly as our cars stock require at least 95 ron.

Yeah it is true i rarely use lift in everyday driving, only occasionally on weekends. My car has more then enough power to keep up with traffic, but I do agree with being seen as a hoon when dropping a gear and hearing the car scream its guts out hahah.

If recommend some bridgestone Adrenalin RE001 in 205/50/16, as this size fits over the stock rims. These tyres are like super glue in dry/wet when combined with good suspension. You will feel alot more in control and safer on the road.

I use $40 a week 98ron and always get around 350-400kms depending on my driving.

Piping is piping. I doubt you'd have to get the CES system later on down the track. It's the same but more shiny (bar the muffler design).

Headers from them would be a good idea though.

I have the CES headers and if i was to do headers again i would not have got them. The headers are ported on the inlet side only, the collector section was supposedly cleaned up . But when placed next to my stock ones, there was no differnece . You are mostly paying for the HPC coating. But having ported headers does make the car more drivable down low as described by many members.

If anyone is in sydney and wants their headers ported by a very reputable shop go see Westside Mufflers in padstow, located under JDMyard. He will port your headers both inlet and collector including taking them out and reinstalling for just under $400. I have had all my exhaust work done there and highly reccommend their work.

I just had 2.5" catback with a S10 twinloop put in. No difference in power until 3.5kpm where it pulls and keeps pulling until you hit lift and it tells you that it was all worth it.

Im happy my twinloop went to a good home and that you are happy. :toast:

You will have very minimal gains at the most with an A/F controller. You need to touch our cars timmings and especially vvti to get really noticable gains.

A Apexi PFC is the ecu of choice but budget at least 3K for parts, installation and tuning.

Goodluck people and remember to post your times up

It really depends on your tyre and suspension combo. At WSID I just launched the car at 4000rpm, that was just reving and dropping the clutch. The car hooked up immediately and took off, I will try a harder launch next time I am out there as many members recommend to launch at 5000-5500rpm.

Anymore updates on your car.

The PFC is a full standalone ECU compared to a piggyback ECU which has its limitations.

a few guys on the 9th gen forum have this in the states. I assume it does not bolt on to our sportivos.

OMG you might have to get somthing custom made....SHOCK HORROR

Well im sorry if im not made of money like you.

It's not about being made of money because I'm not ..... BUT if money is a concern you may as well sell your car and buy a stock 1.3L Yaris..... <_<

Well like you northy I have spent a fair bit on my car already, I just want mods that are more or less trouble free now. I have spent my fair share of money experimenting with parts. I know the money i put in will never come back, but i enjoy modding.

just out of interest can i ask which flywheel you got Kazestivo. As I am looking to do mine soon as well.

That is very nice power bill, but lets let the 1/4 mile run do the talking :P :P :P.

Car is damn sweet now, I cant wait to see what it is capable of now. You must be sick of eating noodles by now hahaha
