jackal8788 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I rather not trailblaze to see what is the actual limit of trans and diff is. Today must've had some thing in the water cause I got hit today by a guy in a Corolla who swerved into my lane without checking first. Then tried to evade me. In. A stock. 10' Corolla. FML!!!!!! Tried to say it was my fault cause I was speeding. In a group of 5 cars he swerved hits my front right with his back left and say I was speeding. Wow. I mean WOW. Good thing for usaa. Sorry to hear that! How bad was the damage? VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solgt Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) The quarter panel has to be replaced I'm sure. Possibly the bumper. Rim has to be refurbished as well. Considering only that versus hitting a foot tall median head on, or go into oncoming traffic, which will have caused way more. Took the lesser of two evils.

monstorr Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Dude when my 4th gen was at Andrewtech I used to always see it there. Love the look/stance of the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solgt Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sorry haven't updated with the latest news. So the car was on the dyno in May and made 15hp and 20lb-ft less. Even with the Cobb intake. After talking with Maine, the turbo was most likely culprit. So it was back to Andrewtech. Well some how the wategate flapper wasn't tight and was opening early with little pressure. So turbo off to disassemble and reassemble properly. While it was there I had a Crawford air/oil separator installed. Haven't had it back on the dyno since but I'm glad the wastegate issue was resolved and the separator. It drives a little bit more 'turboish' I think. I'll do what I can to get an in car vid soon.

I trust them with all the work on my car. Jermaine over at TurboXS for tuning is just the business. Can't say enough about either.

GTEASER Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ah yes, my bad, I knew there was a way to tell and I was having a brain fart. I would have been pissed if yet another someone had secretly gotten the GS TMIC installed before me.

Unsp0kn Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Nice build! Stage 2 didn't really feel that much different from stage 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solgt Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Nice build! Stage 2 didn't really feel that much different from stage 1? Mind you I went 2in drop, which to me makes more power translate to the operator over stock ride height. But will say driving around town the torque available to use doesn't change a great deal. On the highway, yeah full pull 2-3-part 4 you will. Given that until the turbo or motor is changed the result will be the same. Great torque, not much horsepower. Which given my experience with cooling needs, going stage 2 in my opinion dutifully needs cooling added to list for longevity of components. I havnet gotten a radiator yet. Been on the fence on Mishimoto or Koyo and truly have been slaking. Huge fan of adding an oil and trans radiator in place of top mount when I go front mount. Thouhts?

Sarang Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 So did you get a protune for stage 2? I did notice that on my setup (not super different from yours) that the cobb ots stage 2 was very noticeably worse than the stage 1. Slower response, weaker pull, that sort of thing.

solgt Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yep. 248/330 @17psi on a dyno pak. Its on the 1st post I think. Just checked 247/330 @20psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarang Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe I'm confused here... doesn't the first post say 350/350? I'm not sure what your next move for more low torque would be. water/meth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
