Stage 2 sc build has begun

clkio

Where are you getting it done? I am from Ontario as well, weather is above 9 degrees so not too bad

tiller

Doing it myself,I was a certified auto mechanic at a Toyota dealer for 10years,I enjoy tinkering in my garage on projects

Jinxx

Looks like you about 10 hours away from starting her up getting close now
Do you have a tune ready to upload for it ?

tiller

No its winter where I am so iam waiting,I have time on my side,hoping gamma gets the ECU tek figured out,what are u running?

Jinxx

I have uprev ... It was included in the kit ... My can tune seems ok to start with and work out any bugs before a custom tune ...haven't really had any issues tho... I sent Jon at z1 the data logs for him to look over ... He was gonna adjust the throttle by wire lag issue and change the fan tables to turn them on a little sooner ....and look into maybe leaning it up some.

tiller

OK,so gammas not doing any of the ecutek for you?hows the power spread feel when you drive?I take it you can't drive the car with vdc on?

Jinxx

I didn't deal with gamma at all ....I went through z1 motorsports... I cN drive with vdc on with no issues just like stock if it breaks traction it kick throttle down .....pulls very hard compared to stock and really seems like a stock car with a lot more power. I just got my a-pillar yesterday and gonna order the zt-2 multi gauge after holidays.

tiller

Cool,multi gauge will be nice addition,did you have to mod any heat sheilds on passenger side header to fit the sc air filter so its not close to anything hot?

Jinxx

No all heat shields fit back in stock location with no issue

tiller

Do yuo remember if your filter was really close to block?mine sits real close,I've kept it all loose so I can spin intake tube but still seems close

Jinxx

You have to take off a piece and grind/cut it down ...and even after it is really close .....I actually thought about looking for a different size air filter to replace it with. The piece is a little black cover on the transmission and even after cutting it down it's still a tight fit

tiller

Ya I trimmed that little access cover on trans but still close,I was thinking the same thing about smaller filter,gona fool with it today and see how it's goes.

Jinxx

I did use the green filter that came with the the kit ...and yes it's very close ..even pushes on the filter a little. Not sure if there is a smaller filter to chose from that will flow what the charger needs tho.

tiller

Got filter in place,definitely should have been routed further back or over towards passenger wheel cuz its tight,got alternator in to,trying to go slow cuz winter is at least another 3months

Jinxx

Winter time is the time to install everything and work out the bugs ....have it prepped and ready for spring ....nothing worse than having your car in the shop when everyone is driving theirs.
