NEW TURBOCHARGED UPDATE VVVVVV
Hello guys... Here is my new to me car that I've been working on lately..
Here is when I bought it.
Bought it from the auction like this, was pretty bad but I got it for a good price.
$1125 w fees and $420 to ship it to miami.
I almost didn't change the quarter panel and was going to do a bondo city job but my dad said we better just cut the quarter panel out and just weld another one in.
In this pic is were we pulled it out but it would have taken a lot more work to make this straight than to just change the quarter panel.
Prepping the new quarter panel for installation:
Installed by pops...
Trying to get all the other dents the car had.
Lol it helps to have a whole other car to get parts from.....

Wet sanding and polishing after paint...
The car has d2 coilovers
I decided that I didn't like the look of the wheels and sold them to a guy locally on craigslist.
Now I have these and this is how the car is sitting now. Bought these from smokyGS on this forum.
The wheels are Varrstoen 19x9.5 +22 f 19x10.5 r + 22
My plans now are probably going to be boosting the 1uzfe, some spacers for the front... Hid's, paint the car emblems flat black, fix the tear in the driver seat.. Planning on making atleast 400+hp on this engine. Tell my what you guys think.
UPDATE! 7/27/2012
I sold the car Dec. 2011 and then bought it back after like 3-4 months.. Don't sell cars to your friends because your going to keep seeing it lol.
Ended up turbocharging my 1uzfe. Here are some pics. I wish I took more but I was doing this in hyper mode. Its been boosted for atleast
3-4 months can't remember really. Motor has 196,000 miles now, motor is untouched factory, tranny is factory, factory cooling system except for
dual maxima fans. Fuel system is only the new walbro 400lph stock injectors, stock fuel rails, stock fpr.
Turbo kit: (everything done at me and my friends shop :-)......)
Custom exhaust piping
FIAL 50MM BOV (FAKE)
Tial 44mm wastegate
Ebay piping and intercooler
3" down pipe and exhaust
uppipe to turbo is 2.5"
Ems Stinger full standalone
Ebay Overflow water tank
Moroso water filler neck
Ebay 3" inlet muffler (mounts with a big clamp makes mounting so easy)
AEM Wideband
Parts waiting to be installed:
xenocron 14mm to 11mm injector adapters
42lb Injectors
Fuel Lab Regulator
Here are a few pics but I will take some better ones later
I have the car running at 10psi... tuned on the street, I really need to get it on a dyno. It pulls really hard, and afr's
are still looking good with the stock injectors but im at around 85% duty cycle.
Timing is set at 23 degrees doesn't ping or give any problems, a little scary with that 10.4 compression but the
motor really loves the timing if I take a few points out it makes such a big difference how the car rev's up in load.
Idle temperature is 170 degrees. Tranny is still working just like when I got it, and trust me I have done numerous
burn outs, top speed runs to 130+ (not at 10psi yet lol). The torque is so much different if I just hit the gas from a
stand still it burns out 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd. But it just roasts the tires (still 1 tire fire lol). I really need to get
a lsd. Had to gap the car to .20 I kept getting spark blow out even at 7 psi.. Im using NGK 4091 spark plugs
part no. R5671A-7. After gaping the spark plugs it made a huge difference and the car reved out perfect in load
at 10psi.
This is the car I use every day to go to the store,go out, and go long distance without any problems.
Here is a little video of the car running..
^^^^^ This isn't advertisement lol don't take it seriously I was trying my video editing skills which suck lol.
This was with the stock exhaust.
Tell me what you guys think....
