Did your hood scoop help much in reducing underhood temps?

cali yaris · 01-04-2011, 10:50 AM

my downpipe is 3", along with the rest of the exhaust. I haven't had any problems with trans cables. Must be a different downpipe shape than you guys have.

xbgod · 01-04-2011, 11:55 AM

Don't know on the hood scoop thing.

when I'm on the dyno my whole front end is off and my hood is open.

Like You Parma my exhaust is 2.5' all the way through as well.

Cable should be in today and new wastegate spring by thursday. Then back at it again.

I think your exhaust downpipe is facing towards the left (looking from infront of car) which is opposite to the trans cables and that is probably the reason why you never had such issues. Be happy with that decision, trust me

xbgod · 01-04-2011, 06:23 PM

Well Cable has been reinstalled and DEI heat wrapped along with this fabricated shroud to block the heat. Waiting on the spring to show up for the wastegate.

But in the mean while I went ahead and had the gear oil changed in the tranny. Put back in Amsoil MTGQT 75-90 figured since I was in there may as well start fresh.

Well thats where were at today guys

how long do you think that transmission is gonna last?

cali yaris · 01-04-2011, 11:04 PM

^ who knows, mine is holding up well, and Art raced the crap out of his xB at 280 whp.

Tamago · 01-04-2011, 11:23 PM

my 6bolt echo transmission lasted 5 months at 160+ whp :(

cali yaris · 01-04-2011, 11:58 PM

^ bleh. I'll pray more.

xbgod · 01-05-2011, 05:51 AM

Yeah the trans. Is the weakest link in this car. And with not alot of after market parts available, it is was it is, a time bomb.

I'm using a Fidenza 4.3 clutch and flywheel in this trans and that's about it. Nothing else real special. Should this thing shit the bed I contacted Chris at Kaaz for a new build at their facility. Will use their Lsd and have the gears cryogenicly treated, use the same Fidenza parts let them do all the work and then reinstall. That's about all I'm gonna be able to do and then let it ride.

Man u must be made of money

ilikerice · 01-05-2011, 02:20 PM

money trees all over florida, u didnt know?... he probably gots a money tree farm in his back yard i bet..

xbgod · 01-05-2011, 03:22 PM

no I just print more...............Don't you?

The cost actually isn't to bad to do this.

I would just send in my transmission housing along with the new gears that I would buy with my Toyota parts account. (big discount)

Cryo cost = 200.00
LSD = 950.00
Kaaz rebuild to include hand chamfering of all gears = 1,000.00

Fidenza 4.3 clutch = free

Fidenza flywheel = free

so all brand new shit hand chamfered and assembled ready to go = 2,450.00

not to bad for alittle piece of mind. But still no guarantee. But Untill I break this one it will still stay as is.

You can get slot of Big Macs with that money. You sure you don't wanna buy us all lunch :)

Blown_xa · 01-05-2011, 07:31 PM

my trans has over 120,000 miles on it, seen boost since 5000 miles. I don't have traction until 80mph though, I guess when I slap slicks on in the spring ill be clinching my buttcheeks... cause then it will see a lot of load.

xbgod · 01-05-2011, 08:17 PM

You can do just about anything with the right people and money. There aare just not enough tranny guys out there that do high performance race builds on this stuff.

It's not like Crower, Pauter, CP and so fourth that have Pre-made extrusions that they machine into what they want.

You'd have to start from dead scratch with this tranny stuff and be way out in one -off land. And still have someone who is willing to take it on. It would be outragous. Easier to just get a new-used tranny from E-bay for 400.00 and use it till it breaks.

The cost on the other, if you could find some company willing to do it would be thousands. Their is just no demand for it, much like the Ferrea valvetrain. Hince why it's so expensive.

cali yaris · 01-05-2011, 09:19 PM

^ You'd also have the challenge of knowing exactly what you wanted to change about it. That would be based on and very specific to what you plan on doing with the car. Autocross, road racing, and drag racing are very different setups in this respect.

xbgod · 01-05-2011, 09:29 PM

Yes, lots to consider. I'll just continue to do what I'm doing or do the build I mentioned above when my shit breaks.
