My car is running great. No new problems.
Still trying to burn up little less then 1/2 tank of 87. Even with the big injectors, the car still gets good gas mileage.

Once i finish that I will fill up with 93 and start boosting then report back

From what I see giving it a little gas. WOT until boost builds then letting off. The AFRs are at 10.2-10.5ish. So the fuel is there. I'm sure it will be at or around 11.8 wot at 5psi at red line but that is a assumpstion. We will see.

As long as the fuel is there I don't need fuel management. Don't get me wrong. I am looking into FM now. Also a lot of other toys. I didn't buy this kit to bolt on and drive around. I'm a tuner and this is my business. I'm going to push the safe limits of the Tc engine. I'm just testing out the kit right now. I want to see how much fuel the ecu will give me at a certain boost level. Again staying within safe AFRS. When I do start to run out i will look into pump, return line and FM.

He is using a wideband oxygen sensor to monitor his air fuel ratios.

Using a AEM uego. Hard to read because the ecu is trying to correct the fuel. the AFRS are all over the place. At wot is looks like it is steady.


Am I the only one with this kit installed? He sold 6 kits. I guess Im 1 and Ambition is 2 but where are the rest? Are They from scion life?

Refresh my mind on why you are olding off again? Breaking it in? Well, get on the road and take some decent trips already bro.

YESSS!!!!!! I can't wait to see the vids. My buddy just bought the stage0 ZPI kit for his tC. He will be converting it pretty much to the stage1. He will be running fuel management like myself, FMIC stage1 upgrade kit and the 550cc injectors. Once we are all set and ready I will have videos up of a few races, but it will be a month or so. Good luck though with the making of the first Treadstone films nd4spd...

Today is the big day.
Got to go wash up the car. Polish up the Intercooler pipes and go for a long drive.
Fill up with 93 then start boosting at 5psi.

Take some pictures and videos for everyone to see. I'll post them up later tonight.

318 tC......You really don't want Treadstone to be successful huh. Everything you say is negative towards this kit. Why?

nd4spd....good luck man take some good film and put up a good review of your day on the road with your car. Again I can't wait for the video feed.

I could care less honestly, all this boasting and comparing its time to show it. Its been compared to ZPI and htis and that and honestly all i have seen so far is some bad fitment. The guy on here not reccomending or saying u dont need a wideband is crazy. Sorry man if I sound negative but you know was on the same boat not to long ago. It's just the kit isnt proven. Simple as that.
