    ok..
    wait wat?! just an intake? lol..that would be epic win.
    no, my newer motor swap/parts/labor etc cost me like $3,200 :sad:

    have pistons, valve job, new block, ecu reprogramed and other stuff..expensive for my budget @ the time but had no choice (blown stock motor-threw rod :()

    sorry for the thread jack Folken

    this dyno is from 2 years ago.
    i still doubt my car made 160+ lol. we did 'borrow' cams from a celica they had there @ the shop. maybe thats why??

    [IMG]
    2.5 piping exhaust,
    removable apexi muffler (stupid cops. lol)
    ported/polished header (same power as aftermarket)
    drop in filter w/custom piping (thanx mike)
    11:1 comp
    forged rods,
    titanium springs & retainers
    new valves- they did something to head but forgot wat its called?
    new block- ported for new pistons
    new clutch-stage II & lighter flywheel,
    the shop reprogramed the ecu. i didnt ask alot questions, didnt care at the time.
    i just paid them for everything..wanted my car back before my bday /=

    cant remember everything (didnt know alot about 1zz back then, sorry guys

    The hp peaks at 7500 like a 2zz, with a really smooth curve going up.

    I thought our engines redlined at 6K though? How can you see what power it's making at 7.5, if the engine won't go that fast?

    Honestly, I don't know where people get that from, I constantly rev the car past 7000 rpm, and easily too. I should do a video of it. Mine hits 9000 rpm with WOT and car in neutral.

    A video is worth a thousand words right? I got the valences and spoiler, :D.



    ...........Just like apu(indian guy from simpsons) would say...."Thank you come again", lol.

    I might need a new feul pump, (the cause of the lean condition + car was trying to warm up) oh and I figured out why my AEM was giving me issues. It was the serial output wire.

    :D, me too.

    It will be fine, once or twice or thrice won't kill it........i think. That lean condition might be another safety feature programmed into the ecu, who knows.

    WOW!!! That looks really clean from the side view. I really like how the trd side skirt and the side molding delete flows well together. Maybe I should do that to my car too.
    What's the specs on the rims and tires?
