Rusty's SS-II progress thread, Many TRD goodies Options

[Rusty]

Yes he did comment about how good my lambda readings were, did you have any readings when you got yours tuned?

Not sure didn't ask, remember the toms ecu is the factory ecu with my guess a new daughterboard to allow them to adjust things (like what nistune up your way do) so since it uses the factory ecu case there is no extra aux points to plug into.

Haven't checked the diagnostic port, but wouldn't see why it wouldn't work. ACIS still operates, although when it switches over and closes higher rpm I'm sure it sounds more aggressive.
Rotor, cap and sparkplugs where recently changed anyway, still low km's remember

I don't think it would be running 'on-the-edge' just they would have tidied up the super safe tune Toyota did.

Ahh, when mine was tuned there was every piece of data all logged by the dyno but i only got power and boost curve printouts unfortunately, i wish i had of gotten the AFR readouts now.

But i can tell you based on my wideband gauge that I have 14.7 at the tip of the pedal dropping to 13,12,11 when i step on it hanging around 11 onboost, dropping to as low as 10.5 at the very highest load points like 20psi and high revs

[Rusty]

Yeah, also side note I'm only going to run BP98, the 95 are inconsistent sometimes 93, 94 hence why they were changed to Vpower and premium etc. Gull's E85 was a joke anyway they've removed the ethanol out of it as it ruined the fuel stations pumps, lines etc


I think I'm pretty spot on with regarding a new daughterboard being installed. Though not 100% sure yet how Tom's did the adjusting/setting up, if it was via the diagnostic port or if they remove the ecu each time and plug it in to make changes that way.




Haven't seen a good photo of an opened ecu, but came across this in a stroke of luck on a youtube video. (I don't intend to open mine at all)



btw this is a photo not a video, so it wont play

I won't be too worried about knocking. Even on 95 it should be okay with a stock compression of 10,3:1. My Blacktop with a 11,0:1 compression runs fine on 98 without knocking with an advanced timing of 10 BTDC.

So IMO you shouldn't be too worried.

[Rusty]

^ Yeah just a personal preference really.




I came across this recently from MRP who were taking apart a TRD LSD like mine.

[Wrcgt4]

Best FWD 6th gen in the world IMHO

Well done Rusty ! good to see it still going strong , and the passion to keep going still aflame

[Rusty]

ha cheers mate

[Rusty]

Cleaned the engine bay this evening.

[richee3]

Did you ever refurbish your TRD strut bar or is it naturally that clean?

[Rusty]

I bought it brand new, and its naturally that clean.

[richee3]

Very nice. Most of them I see, my own included, have a touch of surface rust. It just goes to show the amount of care you put into your car.

[Rusty]

cheers

Are you ordering all of that OEM? Half the value of the car there.

[onnaj]

Wow that's a lot to do!

You're well maintaining the car! Like to see that!

[Rusty]

Yes I am, although there are a couple of parts there not just Toyota

Cheers, hopeful it all comes along smoothly. Looking forward to painting those engine bay bits and white rims again... black pads lol

[Rusty]

Recently got this




Just received today the main parts I was waiting on from Toyota, A day early birthday present . As requested by 2 members I also ordered new splash guards, so they'll be getting those shortly once I send them off. Also got some front splitters for my brother's Allex ZZE123 (Corolla)

The brake rotors & rear pads I didn't get off Toyota due to price, went with another brand.

[BonzaiCelica]

you remind me of the guy from the beams forum he uses every little single bolts and nuts that is Toyota on his car. I'm talking about the guy who made the custom supercharger for the beams engine.

But nice stuff

[ILoveMySilly97]

This got to be the number one 6gc. Lol.

[Rusty]

Cheers guys

A rough job list:

Send out splash guards

Remove gearbox & radiator.

Install new lsd & replace bearings, flywheel lightened & balanced & new top cover on radiator.

motor mounts, flywheel, clutch, gearbox & radiator reinstalled.

1st intake manifold off & valve cover off paint, apply heat reflective tape
(Painting the intake manifold a silver & the valve cover is going anodised red)

Reinstall valve cover & intake

Rotors & pads replaced
