Looks to me like you didn't drive the car fast enough.

j/k

Jesus, lol. How much more life were you expecting to get out of those? hahahhahaa

Tamago

theres somethign wrong with the video converter i used.. frame rates are all screwed up.. so the video looks super slow.. gonna try to edit down the raw file later on.. i was expecting at least another autoX out of the tires but i guess no go..

Those tires are still ok, lots of life left on the outside just reverse your camber angle!

hahah nice

AEM FIC arrives in 45 mins! i'll start wiring tonight and try to get some pictures for you guys. i've done some reading on AEM's forum and it appears that there have been issues with the FIC in some toyota applications. i hope i'm not one of them! anyone here have an xA/B basemap for the FIC?

Cinderblock

look up pual dezod he's like fic master apperantly lol. hes replied alot in the 365 turbo thread so you can find him their. hope that helps.

[img]FIC is in, made my own basemap (basically accounted for bigger injectors and set up to pull LOTS of timing under boost). car is much slower now, but running better AFR's than before.. idles like stock and doesn't choke down low. i've rec'd estimates up to $500 for a tune which IMO is ridiculous for a couple hours of work. Phil, did you ever find out how much it'd cost me to have your guy do a tune?

oh and:

in continuation of my build not buy theme:

made this gauge pod out of aluminum flashing.. cost? under $.75 .. but it took me about 3 hours





it'll be coming back out for final paint and wiring..

Nice cluster, I was thinking of doing the same for 2 gauges with the scangaugeII in the middle or to one side..

Cinderblock

thatd be pretty sick zack, thats a nice setup tamago.

Tamago

yesterday i built this.. using some more of my cheap aluminum sheet metal :D




it mates up to the NACA duct pretty well. some tweaks are in order but it definitely made an improvement in cooling ability

365Motorwerks

I'm waiting for you to add the fan...we all know it's coming at some point!
....and a mister rigged up out of you windshield washer nozzles!

Tamago

fan is a definate, as well as the washer nozzle. i have all the sprayers/tubing already, should be tackling that portion shortly.

btw thanks again for the base tune.. while it didn't work out as it was, it did give me a clue as to how-to start setting up mine

365Motorwerks

That's what I was hoping, to give you a push start in the direction you need to go.

This car has turned out to be a very nice project. The gauge cluster looks SWEET!!

I have one VERY big question, how in the hell does your Valentine 1 work from way down there??

This car is so rugged its cool.

Tamago

that's the concealed display ;) the V1 is currently stuck to the windshield but will probably move to above the mirror shortly.

and yes, the car is pretty rugged. no carpet anymore! gotta lose some of the weight that the turbo added :D

Tamago

well, after melting another set of shift cables i've decided to go paddle shift.. gonna use two air cylinders, a PLC and some switches to control up and downshift. updates to come

Tamago

i just finished the PLC program.. i know a screenshot is pretty useless, but this is what 7 positions look like (1-5 + N + R) and what it takes to cycle through all of them.



i'm not gonna mess with the program anymore until i get all the components here.. checking the interlocks without physical movement is making me go cross-eyed

Tamago

here's the work i've done to my old stock shift cage to turn it from H pattern to fore/aft only..
