JspeXAE102 Build Thread (+ a lil bit of history)

ZOMG TODA!

Big plans no doubt.... can't wait to hear her sing!

Looking good Wing! Haha.. its kinda funny following your build through the years, it was all in bits and pieces and so its great you've started this thread Can't wait to see when the swap gets done! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Eugene! I saw your car on the vancover thread.. still looking good buddy

The Toda internals will come much later. Right now i'm just focused on doing the swap

Update:

I didn't get anything done at all this summer and classes officially begins tomorrow. But I got this today..

hurrah! that's awesome!

did it end up coming with an lsd?

nice

I'm hoping it does, there is no way to tell without the firewall VIN plate. I will just have to install it and do a burnout.

Ohhh... snap! Here we go!

damn finally....

hey DOT, you own a 6speed.. Do you know how to tell if the tranny has LSD or not?

Nice... did you also get your new exhaust.

HA HA nice work man cant wait to see it i that great car, thx u for calling me it was GREAT TALKING to you. peace man

Do you know which variant did your engine come from? I'm not sure if there's a "tell" just by looking at it.

nah, I asked the seller, he doen't know. I'm hoping it was from a BZ-R

interesting very interesting. nice car. keep it up. dreams do come true.

IMO, this is the best ae102 setup :grinno:

Nice cat back exos bro. are yours a bolt on? is that direct fit with usdm rolla? How's that sound?

Meanwhile, I installed stock exhaust setup back on my rolla after my wife doesn't like how it sounds (Last setup, custom header 4-2-1 with a remus muffler). I'm also ordering a Fujitsubo Legalis R cat back for my rolla. but i noticed it should be installed with a cat-co. i'm planning to order usdm cat-co for my rolla. becoz in my country, ae101 came with no cat-co.

Anyway, why no performance header?

uh huh... ok i'll bite. Whats wrong with my setup?

oh man 20 valve. i dreamt about that engine long time ago as well. nice find i'd say.

thats all for now

NICE

OMG Black top, individual throttle bodies with velocity stacks, and an HKS header. 180 hp easily! :king:

hopefully. The 20V BT dynos @ 145 FWHP in stock trim. I'm planning on freeing up some HP with a 6lb flywheel and a NST pulley set. Then with the open ITB (I will get "sock" filters for daily driving), HKS race header, and kakimoto exhaust I'm hoping for another +30HP => 175 FWHP. My goal is to get 200 FWHP with some head work, cams and tuning but thats later. And I guess at that point i'll be done.

Don't even try bringing that in to get smogged. LOL

Nice keep us posted! I'm seriously considering a BT swap once I get a daily driver... We'll see.

Hey DOT. when's the next autocross event?

Oct 14th

My suspension is in and aligned now. However, I'm rubbing in the front badly through hard turns, so I need to raise it an inch and I'll be good to go for a run.

if 200 fwhp is the goal, get the 3sgte

The 3SGTE is overkill. It's also heavier and requires a completely different transmission and custom retrofitting.

JspeXAE102 How much did you pay for your BlackTop? I found is a person locally who is selling it for $850 is that reasonable?
