"Parmas" Motor

[cali yaris]

A $27 no-brand fuel pressure regulator, for such a nice motor? Sorry, but I do not agree with that.

would like to see what you did with the intake, though.

The regulator is branded JDM, a high quality japanese brand. The AEM regulator is sure one of the best and one of the pricest aswell. The AEM regulator is specifically designed for higher power engines than the 1NZ can handle and it's just too over spec.

Will post some pics later this week as we are limited in time and very occupied making it stable on Full Sequential Mode Operation

You are incorrect about the AEM regulator being "too over spec". There is no lower power limit for its use. I used it at 180 whp. And, like me, since you'd like to make over 300whp, it's an appropriate, proven and reliable part.

As for JDM Sport and product quality, maybe we should take a look at their turbo kit for $1399. Would you also put that on your car?

You didn't understood right my previous post... I didn't say the AEM reg would not work with "low" power engines, I only mean that when one buy an AEM regulator he has in mind to go over 500bhp or else have some money to waste for the excess price compared to others.
My first preference was the RS5 Ford cosworth regulator use universally on tuned engines but it was out of stock here so we got the JDM one.

As for the link, if I would choose betwen the JDM kit and custom, I will go custom as I did of course :)

Well, we are all watching and waiting and cheering you on for a great tune and lots of power. Keep us all posted! Once a month is not enough!

[Parmas]

Today we had some time to continue tuning the engine although remain some minor things to correct and the tune will finally come to an end...

One of the problems we are getting is that the engine freak in between 1.5K - 2.5k rpm range during throttle. Beyond 2.5K till 6,2k the engine shows us some real power :)

Still on baby!....

Here are some pics of the latest revision of the engine bay ....

[Parmas]

Finally tuneup finished at 9 psi because of the injectors duty cycle reaching 90% (Malta's bad octane fuel)

What size injectors and what octane fuel?

CONGRATS MAN, enjoy it!!

no you can fix the left brake light

340cc injectors probably used on stock celicas.... fuel octane bad as below 90... Although with every full tank I fill up 1 litre octane booster.

I will fix for sure the brake light... Within these months I was too busy looking at the engine bay instead :)

Next mods DEI silicone spray on the exhaust mainfold/downpipe/turbo ceramic + DEI Titanium best wrapping out there.
In need of upgraded front suspension + semi-slics tires...

Just booked some drag races for next weekend :)

Sweet!!!! Having fun crusing around town?

[cali yaris]

^ nice, can't wait to see your times! going to be QUICK!!

[changchewsoon]

your car looks and sounds great my friend!

now, may i suggest a set of water/methanol injection kit? :)

[Parmas]

Thanks changchewsoon that will be an option for the coming future but still not in need since my intercooler hold intake temps below 25c @ 9psi.

First option will be upgrading to larger injectors maybe 632cc ones then upping the boost to finally another good tuneup session

[changchewsoon]

is your current injector size insufficient? i bought FIC 445cc injectors but have not used them yet.

Correct... the injectors are about 86% duty @ 6000rpm @ 9psi. We were surprised since they are rated above 300bhp. That depends your octane mixture you are giving to the engine so if we manage to use higher grade fuel we will manage higher power with same duty cycle on the injectors.


Update : Toyo Semi-slics 195x50 888 tires were installed on all 4 wheels. Gained more handling stability and traction :)

Well got my hands dirty again removing downpipe and several connections to prepare them for thermal wrapping etc... and I began wondering about the braking system.

During the last runs I noticed that the braking of the car takes too much to come to a stop also when not driving that fast. I am suspecting that the heat generated by the turbo exhaust chamber is causing the "compensator" situated just few cm behind to overheat o-rings inside. I am thinking of moving the hole part to the right (front view) but that makes some more work and more expenses... I also thought of coating it with silicone spray which is designed for extreme temperatures like turbos.

What do you suggest me to do?
