Weapon R SRI **NEW PIC**, videos up now Options

[Tigawoods]

i made a custom "super induction box" for the intake because it was sucking in way too much hot air form the engine, after i did this i definatly felt an improvement, i think it is preforming at its best now


heres the video guys, not the best quality but for right now it will have to do

i had to do a little bit of custom piping



i had to take this pic, when i was installing the sri, these cambodians fell asleep underneath one of my trees



i cut out the WR out of the original GIANT black bumper sticker, i think it looks better like this

very nice, looking forward to the vid, does your car feel quicker/more responsive?

i had to do a little bit of custom piping

i ran into that same problem, i ended up just capping off the connection on the pipe.

you know what i am not really sure of a difference yet. i think that it is sucking in too much hot air from the engine, i am going to fabricate a heat shield, and also try to route some more air to the intake

[95st-celica]

how much did that run you all together?

[tim86]

looks good and those guys sleeping under ur tree is too funny... they were tired i didnt notice a big diff on my sri either

[sugarfree]

HAHAH how do you know their cambodian. Sorry, im cambodian too, i just find that too funny cus when i first saw the pic i was like loook at those skinny belack asses. And i read the caption and theyre cambodian. HAHA too funny.

[Tigawoods]

i heard them talking and for some reason figured out they were cambodian, and their employer confirmed it. the whole thing ran me $75. now i have another problem, the oil dipstick housing broke off, i went over a bump and oil splatterd all over the headers causing it to burn and smoke like crazy, i guess it took all the oil out and now i need to get that fixed, right now it is parked at a nearby wawa, hope nobody steals it

[undasighted]

Looks good man. A heat shield was something I was thinking about when I had her. Loved the sound and the butt dyno felt a little difference.

:thumbs up:

[94_st_hatchback]

nice....haha and LMAO at those cambodians...im cambodian too...

[Razgriz]

Nice im picking one up in the near future.

couple of questions though.


1. isn't Secret Weapon including a free CAI conversion tubing/ coupler... with each purchase? (just realized undasighted is a guy from here.)
2. and is the 1.8 litre corolla kit for a 7a motor. if so does it fit ours?

btw looks good!

1. not that I knew of, but that would be awesome. I just bought a 30 dollar 90 accord CAI and hacked a couple inches off some of the piping and relocated the filter in the fender wall, as detailed in the CAI thread in Engine. I miss the simplicity of my SRI, but I like the CAI as well. I think there's more of a diff with the CAI, but a) the piping isn't as wide so less air, even if it is colder and b) regardless, our little engines arent gonna get more than maybe 3 hp at most out of either setup to the wheels, and even that sometimes gets disputed on here. I feel more of a gain in certain "sweet spots" on the RPM line, but I think it's more sound than anything. We'll see how it compliments the header-back exhaust line when I get that on there next wednesday.

2. What kit are you talking about? SRI or something else? Pretty much all the engine mods for either 7afe will work as far as I understand. For something like the intake piping though, I'm not sure as there may be a pretty decent difference between engine bays.

[tomazws]

It fits a 7AFE too..

[Tigawoods]

new pic

[undasighted]

is that helping any? It always used to seem like I got more out of it when I was running cold.

[Tigawoods]

it performs to its full potential

[GTS13]

See now that's what I'm talking about. It's all about doing things your own way. That looks awesome man. Can't wait to do some similar work of my own.

hey where did ya get that material from, I may need that too

[Tigawoods]

the metal induction box? it is actually sheet metal used for siding on houses, the tape i used around it is for air conditioning ducts, absorbs heat REALLY GOOD. u can get both at home depot

so a sheet metal for siding on houses and ac ducts can be obtained at home depot eh? alright, I'll check it out and get one. Any particular brand, or know where in HD i can pick it up?

[Tigawoods]

just ask for air duct tape that is heat resistant (it will be metallic looking)
