NP Paul - thanks to you and Don for making it happen and for being patient.

I can't wait to see what else is coming down the pipeline from Dezod.

 

Thank you for your business, support and enthusiasm. We have plenty to be excited about coming Jan 1.

 

when you change specs of the head and upgrade the VT its going to be a tad louder... that on average is normal. Now if u have loud ticking or rattling noises then thats not normal. all 3 of the built heads i used (including the current one) have been louder then stock.

 

Hey Pete....200whp NA tC https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=177127



Sorry bout the brief thread jack Rob

 

lol np.. Yea I saw that guy's thread. He says he has bolt-ons but doesn't know what else.. lol.

 

lol ... i dont pay attention to overly inflated dynos haha... when he posted his mods it only confirmed it... i did post up on that thread... theres just no way those numbers are correct based on his basic bolt ons..

 

exactly... something it just not right

 

Yeah N/A is tough, but those numbers are not out of the ball park by any means. I commented on his thread about one of our customers.

 

pete you port your head out your self ?

 

ok well how close is close?

yes everything i do i do it myself. the last head was ported by me and my friend Benny who owned a machine shop in orlando. he use to do alot of high hp cars in puerto rico and some things for 2 big soflo companies (one who is very famous for having high hp cars)

the current head has a custom p&p by me with my specs with 1mm oversized ferrea valves and valve train.

 

for the head i'll give you some money and a palomilla steak with rice and beans from sergio's.

 

I can only afford 2 croquettas with 2 packets of saltine crackers. :/

 

180whp with basic bolt-ons? I've seen it done before. MikeScion dynoed just a little shy of 180whp with I/H/E and crank pulley and not using a dynapack dyno. Don't see that being far fetched if it's on a dynapack. Ambient temps, altitude...etc could make up a few ponies.

 

carne asada with beans and rice sounds sooooooooooo goooood right now. with fresh tortillas, damn whats up with the food convo ? im so hungry now.
pete one more ? on ur head.
When you ported it i assume u did both intake and exhaust, but did u do the compression chamber too ? if so how smooth did you go on the intake side comparend to the exhaust side ? flow tested ? u send it off to get the 1mm over bore for the valves ? ive done some honda ones but am still trying to learn more.

 

I'm with you Paul.

 

no beans... just rice, steak, and tostones and im goooooood



some onions rings from your job would be just perefect rob!!!

and ROB!!! can u please chime in.. your the only one in this thread whose driven my car!!!

so if anyone doubts me to some extent u can ask rob.. even though he drove my car off the fic and on a hot day after I abused it for a good hour meeting him up it still ran ok.

agreed.. conditions can help also.. especially in the winter lol... but since im from miami and its always hot and humid im screwed where as others have it a little better. and like i said, he could have a factory freak trav. which is not un common you know... i can see 180.. but not 186 and still missing basic mods u know unless he has the supreme of all factory freaks!.. but it is a dyno pack also.

the compression chamber was left untouched. we did do both intake and exhaust sides. intake side was left a little rougher (its what ive always leaned and used from bot import and dom use.) exhuast side is butter smooth. no flow tests but i can guarentee it was a huge improvement. We did the 1mm inhouse. he has amazing machining tools there. same as some high end places like portflow use.

 

nice ya the reason you leave the intake side abit rougher is so that it helps the fuel flow evenly through out the head and not get stuck on the smooth walls, correct ? thats what I was tought and never really asked many questions about it, as far as the chamber is concerned that one can be smoothas butter right ? I am planning on building my head for my spare motor since that is all I have to do, more details on that at a later time. I heard ptuning is coming out with cams thats kinda why I wanna wait to see what they offer, if nothing soon than I think I am going to use the BC N/A cams. were did ya get ur drills and grinding bits ?

 

Yeah Pete's car is pretty quick. I was very surprised when I drove it.. very smooth power delivery and rode as if it were on rails. It all made sense when he told me he got motor work done because I was thinking to myself this can't be just all bolt-ons.

 

what suspension u on pete ?

 

thanks rob for posting up!!! that sounds like u copied it and pasted the same thing u told me that day u drove it..

"oh it has slugs" where your exact words also haha


im on tein basics with custom spring rates... i was already familiar with ss-p's and other coilover systems for the tc that had additional options such as dampening control so i opted to save some money and go a much more simpler route with the same effect which is why i went basics. I just asked tein to make me custom spring rates to my liking (track ready type rates then the normal street daily driver rates it currently offers)... which in the end gave me a pretty balanced very manageable smooth daily driver. i also have a TRD rear sway bar, dc sports front strut bar, greddy rear strut bar and ES mounts on the motor and chasis. with the money i saved i was able to buy other suspension upgrades so it really worked out perfectly not opting for the more sophisticated bling setup...also basics go lower then ss-p's so it was perfect at the time incase i ever wanted to slam the car.

i plan on upgrading the rear sway bar next to the Dan Gardner (sp) one (he recomended i use it once when we chit chatted a few times on the phone) with possible upgraded endlinks.

thats pretty much the gist of the suspension and extras that help.
