Vamp's boosted TRD '01

Vamp's boosted TRD '01

I need to get newer pics now that I have the TRD skirts back on. She's not tuned yet because I had a little issue with an obstruction in the intercooler that took a little while to figure out. Also, I should have a few left over parts for sale, but I have to go sort through them. I know I'll have at least a set of 460cc injectors and a triple gauge pod pillar for grabs.

It's def looking nice. I know it's not tuned, but any early ideas of how much power you're putting down?

A lot more than I had before. I gotta keep the boost down low until I get it tuned, so I'm not going to chance seeing how much power I have until after then.

Nice work Vamp. Are you planning on making any video clips...

wouldn't mind seeing some video when it is tuned

My turbo sits about 1 inch from the firewall and never has hit. Even when I was running 12 PSI and dumping the clutch (however that did blow the motor hehe)

Vamp. I love what you did with the guages. That is way pimp!

You should also wrap your cruise control cables in heat reflective material. It gets pretty crazy hot next to that turbo and might melt those guys.

The turbo is black ceramic coated and the cables directly above the turbine side are currently wrapped. I'm getting her tuned in two weeks. I still have to put my shift kit and motor mounts in at some point, but I'm pretty busy during the week. Oh, here's a diagram of my vacuum routing that I made if anyone's interested.

God damn that car is hottttt!!!!!

Thanks for the post Vamp. This really helps a lot.

Vamp, where did you get the flange for the MAF?

Pardon me for sounding stupid but what is that thing with the blue label above the BOV?

shift kit?!?!!? by who, from where?

transgo shift kit... cost 100

http://www.ppeengineering.com/ for the MAF flange. As for the blue thing, it's my SARD fuel pressure regulator. I plumbed a return fuel line for I could make sure I had enough fuel.

Ah. ok. Thanks for the info.

better pics!

I just "accidently" hit 10.6 psi earlier (engine did a wonderful job of running 13.5 AFR on it's own) and I had no issues with it touching the firewall. I'll take better pics at some point. My camera got stolen the other week and I only just realized that this morning .

Hey Vamp, Where did the IC piping pass thru on the passenger side to get to the FMIC? Under the washer tank? Did you make a hole?

It goes inbetween the bay wall and the alternator pulley so that I have the least number of bends possible and can retain my fog lights.

its probably just me, but isnt plastic intake manifolds not so good for boosting?

Not for low boost, you can make 7 PSI blowing though a McDonalds staw and it doesn't burst

damn...vamp its about time your turbo is ready and running.any pics of your fmic?.

looks very good. looking forward to seeing some tuned numbers

how much is the shift kit and how does it look like cause i can't even find pics of it or any transgo shift kits for the rolla....
and it looks very complicated to install

McDonalds straw, isnt that what you used on your 1st setup? LOL! JK MANG!

Nice to see its finally almost done. Been awhile since Ive seen your car.

damn.. im jealous

Here's an old pic before I had it painted black (with special paint) to increase it's thermo efficiency and help hide it.

^^^nice!
