"Parmas" Motor

[rob323]

Yes it's a lot of money but it is all relative (especially if you already have tens of thousands invested in your car).
But I suggested it for the concept, not that product specifically.

= $1,384 USD

You can now say f*ck that to THAT, but at least you'll be saying it to the right amount.

The product looks effective but for our engines is purely a waste of money.

It's the thought that counts.
Make up your own using bits from an old GT4 celica or a Subaru RS Liberty/ legacy. More than adequate for 300 hp and at a fraction of the cost and you still get all the benefits.

95% of the disadvantage of a top mount is heat soak. Heat rises, a top mount places the I/C right on top of a hot engine. If FMIC are so overrated why is there not 1 aftermarket turbokit offered with a top mount? Why do 8 out of 10 factory turbocharge cars come with front mounts, example:
FMIC
Supra
Evo's
Grand Nationals
GLHS
RX7
Golf
3000GT
Eclipse

TMIC
WRX
CELICA

Been about a month since my last post.... within this time these are the updates:

- Installed JDM (carbon fibre) adjustable fuel regulator .. http://ajpdistributors.com/unjdmfuprrec.html

- Upgraded custom fuel rail with return line

- Custom fitting with 3 barbs on the intake for independent mainfold pressure / BOV and Boost controller

Still having trouble with initial tuning between 1200 - 3500 rpm ranges.... will update with pics and videos next time

[botchilah]

Synpase Engineering / Synchronic BOV for the win!

I have had a SARD, Blitz, Apexi and HKS in my other car. Nothing great. The Synapse one really helped improve spool, response and eliminate compressor surge

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

[cali yaris]

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!....

[Parmas]

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)

Cheers

[cali yaris]

What size injectors and what octane fuel?

CONGRATS MAN, enjoy it!!

no you can fix the left brake light

[lilredrocket]

Sweet!!!! Having fun crusing around town?
