hey peteyd do i have to get a boost gauge? because im not gonna mess with it, i want it to be a stock turbo. also since ive been reading that the sparrk plugs help alot, especially with idling which ones should i buy?

And i was reading the zpi turbo on their site and it doesnt mention anything about the ssq bov, does it come with it?

peteyd

you will need boost/oil pressure/wideband gauge. I think zpi inludes the hks bov with thiers im not sure whats included now. spark plugs go 1 step colder with ngk or denso cant remember but toyota should be able to get either one they are about $40 a set.

peteyd

ok yesterday i either blew a cvjoint or cv boot. one of the two dont know which yet will find out today. soo you can add that to the peteyd saga and still cant seem to get it tuned bloody greddy and thier stupid cable

fishingexpert87

lol thats what im confused about, im not sure what one step colder is/means thats why like if you have a link to a specific model i would appreciate it. sigh i guess i should of waited before i bought the gauges because i didnt add the boost

hey peteyd i was wondering instead of the tranny cooler you showed me, would this work better because this looks awesome and better.

^as long as u can get the fittings and find a good placement for it, it should work fine.

fishingexpert87

kool thanks, you think like home depot or a tool warehouse might have these fittings? or autozone or something also these new tranny coolers could either come with a single hole or double, idk wats the diff but from what the seller says, the double is better

also what size you think i should get because theres 18" 15" 12" or it doesnt matter

It's hard to beat a tube-n-fin heat exchanger for heat transfer when you mount it infront of the radiator. A lot more surface area than a chunk of aluminum with (2) passes, where are you going to mount it? What will you be using to move air over it when your parked and waiting or in stop and go traffic? I still have not seen lot of transmission cooler manufacturer offer that style of heat exchanger. Be sure to do some more homework before you become someone ginea-pig... To be on the safe side I would keep the original radiator cooler in the loop and run the finned tube on the return line to the tranny. You can probably mount it underneath the steel bumper. Get the longest one they sell.

fishingexpert87

sweet, yea im gonna pm the guy or call the seller to get more info on it.

fishingexpert87

oh also eric doesnt the bottom grill help in providing air to it if i mount it where that steel bumper is? since that bottom grill is really close to it, in which i think water can get to it but i dont think that matters

peteyd

ok back to the peteyd saga.....after leaving the car with the dealer they decided they wont warrenty my cv boot because of the turbo just from them looking at it.

fishingexpert87

o man that sux, do u think the turbo had to do ne thing with it? also where are you going to take it to get fixed sorry to hear ur troubles.. you should try another dealership. because one of the dealerships i went to to get something fixed in my engine bay they wouldnt touch it because of my intake, then i went to another one and they took care of it right away and loved my car. they like hooked up scions

peteyd

majority in houston wont touch my car. casue they know im the turbo tC dude. so im kinda screwd my hawaiin grease monkey will be doing the work(im kiddin matt). the part is cheap labor is the worst.

fishingexpert87

man i need to know if i should buy this new tranny cooler so i can get it over with that supply. the one im looking at already has the little fittings that you put a tube in so im guess the install is really easy. should i get it ?

318_tC

anything new?

peteyd

went to toyota yesterday to order the new part it was only $41 so thats cool. as far as tuning concern the tuner doesnt want to mess with the car until i get it running properly again. So we have 2 more options with him then if that doesnt work imma tell him thank you for your help pay him some money and then fly kenny down here to houston to dyno and tune my car. So if you want 318 you can ride up here and meet him if that does happend itll be during expo. But HOPEFULLY!! we will have the car running properly next week to give the expo peeps something fun to see. :D it may not be pretty but itll be pretty fast!
