Sirnixalot

thanks alot! :D unfortunately the hub i have doesnt work so it looks like ill have to buy one (it was a nissan hub i had laying about...just thought i would try it)

Due to past experience with these *BLEEP* devices (will never understand how a 200mph kevlar balloon was ever safe) and the fact that i have a steering wheel hub and a sparco flash 5 wheel just sitting down i figure i might as well swap em. I know on other cars if you leave the battery disconnected for a few hours and pull the airbag fuse you are usually "safe" to take the face of the wheel off. Does this same procedure apply with the RS200? If all goes well i should save some weight.....and my face if the worse should happen.

Squid....that drop in filter is awesome isnt it!

a friend of mine in jamaica (Pik on these boards) dyno'd at 167 rwhp and 138rwtq this was in the 6speed manual...so he was getting a 20% loss. 167hp = 124kw

i put together a little cheap kit as an experiment...basically a hacked up IS300 intake kit off ebay. anyway the stock airbox with an apexi drop in filter has LOADS more power and toruqe. a friend and i have deduced that the intake was sucking hot air combined with the maf being so close to the filter....subjected to alot of turbulant air flow. I have seen and installed the Apexi kit and its top notch. I wouldnt get any pod filter kit without a heat sheild. Also ....not trying to be offensive but foam filters suck....they dry rot and dont stop much crap from getting into the engine. They are just as bad as the blitz SUS power metal filters. The blitz ones flow just as good as the apexi filters but the apexi ones have much better filtration. Problem is this filtration quality will drop over time where as the blitz will stay constant because the element doesnt erode.

get the apexi intake....where is matt when we need him...lol

Thats not good then. I take it these dont have the same connecting rods as the 3SGTE as i know those motors are very stout. I've been snooping and searching around on MR2 and Celica forums but ive only really found a small shot 35-50hp in conjunction with boost. A few NA MR2's say they will survive a 75hp shot. If thats the case then this should work fine. On a side not incase anyone buys a nitrous express kit. They rate their HP @ the wheels. So their 50hp shot is equivalent to an NOS or other 80hp shot. They gave me the jet numbers for their "50hp" shot on a direct port system. I think im going to try that.

I am a certified nitrous junkie and i know my way with it very well. How ever i have not done a kit on this car before. Its hard to find info in english anyway. I know that the 3SGE is a very stout motor but i have a few concerns. I have aquired a direct port kit by Nitrous Express off a friend for some stereo stuff. The smallest jets that Nitrous Express provide are for a 100bhp shot. I have emailed them to see what jets i need for a 75bhp shot IF i can run that low at all. Plugs, i plan to run NGK BKR7E-11 Iridiums. Which is 1 heat range colder than stock. Retarding the timing. Is this even possible via typical methods like an ignition retard unit? I dont see it as being so because of the Dual VVTi, i think i would need a power fc to do this. I plan on using 103Ron fuel when ever i spray. I think that this will help as the stock ecu is programmed for 98ron (i think thats what Japanese fuel is) and it will run the timing maps for that fuel combined with imput from various sensors about ambient conditions. The higher octane fuel is more detonation resistant but im not sure if it will be enough. Any information or assistance is greatly appreciated. thanks

super traction control, severely limits throttle response.....least thats what ive found when it was activated

I sent another email to Toda asking what the power gains were. They said that peak power would be increased 15-18hp. They also stated that with their valve springs you could increase the redline to 9000rpm. cant wait till i can afford to start modding this thing seriously :D

I know there is a local misconception with these cars. The do not come with VVTLi. There is only one cam lobe profile on each cam. There is no cam switch over because it isnt a multi lobe cam. My guess is the stock cams are going to be in the 245*-254* duration and 9-10mm lift. I am still interested to know how they manage to get 105bhp per liter out of such relativly mild cams though....yamaha must've done wonders with the head port design.

Lol Matt...not all of the info is in japanese ...just a fair bit these are the only cams that Toda produce that will keep the VVTi Basically i want to see if these cams are worth it. The stock cams have to be a little aggressive but im interested in how much larger these VVTi friendly cams are. Thank you for your e-mail and interest in TODA Racing. We offer the following camshaft which retain the VVT function: INTAKE 268/12.0mm EXHAUST 264/11.0mm All our other camshafts require disabling the VVT function.

Hi, I've been searching google for days with no info on the stock cam duration and lift. Ive emailed Toda for info on them but no reply as yet. Does anyone know the stock cam specs? Btw, nice site you guys have here :D
