Your wheels are 18 x 9.5/10.5 right? What size tires are running now and what do you plan to go to?

Well the car wasnt exactly tuned yet but we did have to play with it to get it running and make it drivable. we did put kinda like a street tune on it. so im not as brave as you think. lol

But more Updates soon, the car was tuned about a week or so ago. I had some issues on the dyno with the car breaking up on anything over 18psi. I literally put new plugs in the car while it was on the dyno and gapped them pretty low.

So now I am doing the 1zzfe coil upgrade then I will return to the dyno to up the boost. but as of now the car made 480whp 410tq on just 18psi with E85.

Just a quick update

Since the fuel system and standalone has been put in the car has been tuned. Unfortunately, I had ignition issues while trying to up the boost. The car kept blowing out the spark on anything over 18psi. I changed the plugs while the car was on the dyno. I even gapped them pretty low to avoid this from happening but no matter what it wouldn't go away so I'm assuming the coils are finally taking a dump on me.

So I was looking into replacing my stock coil packs with the LQ9 coils but I know it is some minor work that is needed to be done to the 1jz head in order to make this work (grinding down the head some) I wasn't man enough to do it so I decided to go with the 1zzfe coil packs. They are cheap and have built in igniters.

Once they get here this week I will most likely put them in, make a mounting bracket for them to fit and get it wired then back to the tuner to crank the boost. On 17-18psi the car made 480whp 410tq with e85! I can't wait to see what this thing does with 26-28psi!!!!

Here is a video I took just testing out my GoPro taking my SC for a spin.

Few more upgrades

I went to have the car tuned from the one and only Jordan at STP. Everything went well besides but I had issues blowing out the spark. I put new plugs in while the car was on the dyno and I gapped them pretty low. The car would blow the spark out on anything over 17-18psi so we left it on that for now.

So I decided that maybe it was time to change the old Oem stock coils and go with something alittle for modern.

1zzfe coils

Your car is an inspiration. Because of your wheel set up I wanted to stay OEM look. It's proper and not over done. Do you think the coils are designed too weak to handle 18psi or that the newer coils are superior?

Thanks bro!! I don't think that the OEM coils are bad at all. They work great if you buy a new pair, they can hold 30+psi no problem but the only issue is usually these coils are very old because people buy a lot of JDM motors that are sitting. they are typically 20+ year old motors. So the coils are weak specially when you throw double or even triple the number of boost than what they are used to.

I decided to use the 1zzfe coils because they are cheap, they look good, they have a built in igniter and they are from a newer vehicle so I think they should work better.
