DEATH's GT2 Progress [Updated 01-24-13], 6 years/60k? Miles and FCUKING RIDICULOUS!!! Options

[RUNNIN-LOW]

hehe death guess what!!!!!!!??? haha nice numbers man congratz!!!!now up grade!!!! and make more power!

[DEATH]

Thanks Manny and Jim

your AFR's look great.
i would think you would be making more power with AFR's being that good for a 3sgte.
you've got a slight restriction with the cat-back being a smaller diameter piping i think.
granted that's not going to make crap tons of hp but it would do something & help with flow.

just curious - what diameter is your IC piping?
do you have your BOV vented to the atmosphere or recirc'd?
do you have adjustable cam gears?

the numbers are decent for being a stock CT26

Thanks - She's a fair bit more powerful than when last we raced [Like as in double LOL - huge ass leak and low boost will do that LOL - still haven't figured out why she idles even when she's leaking - from my memory AFM based 3s's don't like that very much - been a while tho]
i was more than pleased with the torque. HP seems normal but low for an RC. It's probably a combination of the slightly less than 2.5" GReddy SP2 and the Mustang Dyno. Electric cutout is for sure the next mod. I think you may be surprised what difference that will make [I disconnected it recently - just too loud for everyday and I've gotten 4 tiickets recently so trying to keep in on the DL]
No ACG's, BOV to atmos, 2.25" hot pipes/2.5" Cold Pipes.
Told you those AFR looked great just by reading the gauge - gotta be the difference in the RC tune vs USDM that I'm used to seeing.

Thanks girl - pass this info on to Joe for me.

LOL - Thanks. I will be - but maybe not what you think. AM Turbo is not in the near future - CT-20b is.
Gotta remember I'm not building this car for a mear 1/4mile run. Come down in May and go cruising the twisties with us and you'll understand why a smaller turbo is ideal for what I want it for - not terribly unlike ralley conditions out there

those leaks will kill you on power & low boost is no fun at all.
i personally don't care for the electric cut-outs ... Running a straight thru system on R2 for a couple of years made me realize how nice mufflers are all the time lol

the AFRs are even more impressive for having a BOV vented to the atmosphere - that can help contribute to over rich conditions & most people just recirc or get a MR2 BPV to avoid the prob all together.

We'll have a good time in May for sure ... Vadar isn't exactly going to be the same either

p.s. I told Joe & he said that was great

Been a while since I did anything so here is a sneak peak at what I'm working on ATM:






I also got some tires finally:

Nothing great but they were uber cheap [$75/2 mounted and balanced]

Looks AWESOME Matt.

[808celica]

those tires DO look dope. i think i might get a set. just look good wrapped around black with polished lip rims

[Akirad1]

looks good like the little spikes man

[DEATH]

Nice - most people don't notice it somehow. So yeah they are kind of like clothes for the car - they come off easily but I figure when I'm just rolling around I won't have them on but for nights when I go to clubs or show I'll put them on. Basically when Ping and I get dressed up to go out the car can now too.
I actually like what I did with the single din gauges more every day. I'm still tweaking that setup tho.

The latest for the gauge setup - I'm very pleased with the results:



Still need to:
-Buy the last STRI Gauge [Boost to replace the one on the A piller]
-loom the wires, boost lines and harnesses for the gauges
-Paint the bezils all matching with Nighthawk Black Pearl to match the interior trim and the vehicle's exterior
-Replace the CC unit lighting, Cig Lighter Ring and Key ring with red LED

Do you guys think I should paint just the grey portion of the radio face leaving the buttons and chrome lettering alone - might help it blend in more?

[808celica]

no for the radio. you gonna change your pedals???

[delusionz]

Nice setup, is that a boost controller or a turbo timer in where the clock used to be?

[DEATH]

Actually i did change the pedals - to those. I like the simple ones plus these have some nice grip. Not a big fan of overly elaborate pedals but I did find some that look like a large spider crawling on each pedal - I had to resist the urge. just a bit too over the top really

Turbo Timer. I haven't upgraded to the EBC yet.
Thanks for the compliment

***Under Construction***


Here's a pic of the work I've been doing with the spikes on the front [haven't even started the back yet] I love the short spikes with no groove cut into them and the way they look next to the longer one with the groove like that. On the other side I have miniture versions of the groved one in place of the smooth ones - I'll snag a pic of that side too for comparison.
I'm 98% this is the way the front is gonna stay.

vvv Duh - That's why it says "Under Construction" vvv
