Cool sounds sweet!

Mine is an AE82 CS Seca with 4AGE 100kw engine conversion from an AE92 Gti...

Engine, Gearbox, Struts, Brakes, ECU, the lot...... All done in a carport, by myself, ghetto style...

15" Alloys, CD Stacker, Lowered springs, and two of the biggest damn horns you ever seen.... :) Off a Leyland bus or sumthin?

Solid Engine Mounts, K&N Pod, Straight thru exhaust...

Ridiculously fast for a Corolla, not sure how fast it is down the 1/4 tho... Can't bring myself to take it, keep on taking the Skyline :(

Eats a BA XR6 (non turbo) Ute tho...

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's flogged a stock UZZ31 Soarer with the 1UZFE V8, a VN SS Commodore with Exhaust...

ever had it on a skidpan? i have had mine on one twice and it was the best fun i have ever had on four wheels. plenty of sideways action too. fortunatley i have never had a lose before, and hopefully wont have one too soon. haha i dredd to think what it would be like.

Nup, no skidpan action as yet... Just had a few hairy moments with lift off oversteer when running mega camber on the front with 14" retreads and 13" steelies with 165's on the back!

Binned that setup real quick.

If you don't catch it or have too much speed it just does a 180 and you end up facing backwards... Not something you want to try in traffic :P

Have to update the kill list too. Lent it to me mate the other day. Came back bragging about the older WRX he kept up with and the Boxster he toasted???

I asked him what he was revving it to? He said oh bout 6500....

Told him it keeps pulling to 7500! Now he want to buy it!

hahaha

sounds like a beast! never done a 180 in traffic before, doesnt sound like very much fun. haha. would love to be able to toast more than just charades and excells. haha

my rev limiter cuts in at 6500, mmm wonder what an extra thousand revs would do?????

lol

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
