so make a thin adaptor plate?

I will if I have to. Rather not.

after all, aren't you building an engine here?

I think that's been well established

so if you're going to all this hard work to build an engine, 20 mins to drill out an adaptor plate from some aluminum shouldnt' be that big of a deal?

cali yaris · 02-27-2009, 07:30 PM

That's easy to say for someone like you, who can easily make things. I didn't build the motor, mostly I watch and comment. If I have a bolt-on solution, I'll choose it over the extra time to make something.

Your assumption is that it's easy for anyone -- hmmm, seems like that's come up in your posts before?

I see it as you need to have little money to make alot of money, but you need to have the knowledge to do so.

there have been many times where i invested small and made out pretty good

Sometimes you can make money with other people's money

UPDATES MARCH 1:

Relocated the intercooler where it belongs -- behind the lower grill. Now it will be fully functional:

Installed a multi-pin jack for the AEM in the firewall:

And installed the AEM EMS behind the glovebox:

...next is intercooler piping and throttle body/cable/pedal.....

+1 I would buy it.

White Yaris · 03-03-2009, 04:25 AM

damn garm, what a beast u got there.

Treyz · 03-01-2009, 11:43 PM

Garm, I thought the AEM was the problem and you were looking for something else in terms of the tuning?

cali yaris · 03-01-2009, 11:45 PM

That was the AEM-FIC piggyback. This is the full-blown AEM EMS standalone.

$400 vs. $2000

Crandall · 03-02-2009, 12:00 AM

The AEM EMS is a great unit with a lot of possibilities. I have quite a few friends around here that use them with great results.

I don't know if it's been brought up in this thread or others but are you going with any improved cooling systems (Coolant or oil). If you have the car in the state it's in it would definitely be the time to do so.

eTiMaGo · 03-02-2009, 12:01 AM

i am tempted to suggest painting the intercooler flat black for a more sleeper look. but on the other hand as you plan to change the front bumper, you probably will want it to be quite visible

cali yaris · 03-02-2009, 12:23 AM

^ yeah, haven't decided about that yet. I've been told it doesn't work as well painted, but I'm not sure.

crandall, oil cooler for sure, and I have sent a stock radiator off to C&R for them to make me a custom one. The new one can be about 6" wider since we've removed that black plastic whatever from the left side, and all the A/C is gone including the condenser.
