Bottom left at the end in a sneaky ass spot. Just uploaded so the middle one is still processing and HQ usually takes an hour to become available.

it's really hard to get the gauge cluster in the video and still have any view of the road, the camera would have to be like in my face to do so. I'm not to thrilled about the idea of a big aluminum bar with a camera on it pointing at my head while I'm driving.

Meth was running but I'm still not seeing any obvious timing changes even at levels that are definitely more the could ever be necessary. I'll be dynoing next week and if it's where it should be I'll start some customization.


The stock section one is also on the car in these videos in preparation for the "out of the box" dyno.



I hope to take some more videos as well, these were just some tests to get the perspective.

Cool. You are running headers plus stock section 1... got it. How about x-pipe and cans- are they stock too?

Cans are stock, X pipe is not, Section 1 will go back on after the dyno (and I correct a few problems with it -_- )

Hopefully it is though I have some doubts, dyno will tell.

Heres some other pictures I took the other day as well:

ESS supplied clamps vs replacements:



What the replacements do:



Going clamp crazy to hermetically seal the charge pipes :






Coolant sensor location, not visible when the car is together:




Blower oil supply and oil pressure tap location:



Quick shot of the coilovers ebcause I never took pictures beffore :/ :

I made a video of the speedo today just for you burt.

And now I will be a complete tease as I am setting it to upload and leaving.


0-60 was between 4-4.5 seconds
0-100 was easily below 10, I'm going by about 65 indicated and 105 indicated to correct for the speedo, and I took the 100 readings RIGHT before the shift (which was @ 100-105 indicated depending on the run).


Video is not the most accurate way to take readings though.


Crap uploaded before I got out the door.

worm clamps are never very good for high pressure situtations, if yours fail again you should check out.
http://www.aapsa.com.au/awshop/index...27501639422173
Or go to a local diesel/truck parts shop as they have similar clamps like in the link and usually they cost a tenth of what worm clamps cost from auto shops and are far superior.

I miss the sound of my old s/c celica.

It's called a T bolt clamp, they are not cheaper then worm gear clamps and are more for high PSI (like 20) applications. A good quality worm gear (like the ones I have on there now) are more then enough. I only double clamped them because I felt like it and wanted a failsafe for the track. One good clamp is more then enough really. But even Tbolts fail from time to time.

Ah ok yeah thought u double clamped them because they wouldnt hold.
here at auto shops they charge like 10bucks for shitty worm clamp so for me its cheaper to use the better ones.

Cant wait for the dyno day :P

These which are probably some of the best worm clamps are less than a dollar or a little over a dollar each. Which is why I am still flabbergasted by the ones in the kit.

Dyno is tomorrow at 9 am, 430 wheel or bust.

Ocha- good luck man! Hey, I hope you will dyno with and without meth. I am curious what meth adds. On my old car, it added big torque and hp.
