We just finished up our customers auto GT turbo 1zz build.

You can read and see the build pics here:

The car is actually fun to drive now. It's quite fast and boost response isn't very bad at all. The long gear's of the auto trans makes a 2nd gear pull very fun !

The wilwood big brake kit is actually very impressive. The stopping power is miles better than the stock brakes, and it doesn't upset the balance on the car at all.

Don't want to ruffle too many feathers here but there's no way that brake kit stops any better than stock rotors with upgraded pads... Even with stock pads it's the tires that limit braking distances-not the rotor size. And before some chimes in about heat dissipation, it's going to take way more than 220whp before heatsoak on the rotors could ever become an issue with an appropriate pad.

That said: the larger rotors do look good with the upgraded rim size. Oh and Traklites ftw! (assuming I'm not mistaken) Power level should make for a fun ride. Nice work!

He has KDW2s. He had aftermarket pads before I think, and slotted rotors, but it is a non ABS car and wouldn't even lock the tires. (also had horrible vibration from warped rotors) Now, it will lock em easy if you want it to.

You are correct though - the initial "bite" and improved pedal feel are what makes it seem like it is stopping so fast, but I am certain that a healthy stock setup could match the actual stopping distance at least once. (doubt it could do it repeatedly though)

:sadwave:

Yes yes, yours is very nice too

The car is an awesome sleeper now. You can not see the FMIC from outside the car because it's black and that we were able to angle it to prevent cutting the grille plastics out, also the black piping really blends in at the fog light holes.

About the only thing you can see exterior wise is the drop, wheels and big brake kit.

Then when you pop the hood it has a very clean factory look (what we were going for), with a tad bit of DDPR flare

If only you guys didn't live so far from me.

We have a large portion of our business from customers who ship their cars to us from all over the US, or take the drive down to us.

Our next project mr2 spyder that arrived will be shipped to Dubai when we are done

Compare this TK.com T28 billet wheel turbo vs a GT2560R(GT28R), will i get better spooling and/or better power? :

The GT 2560R is not a GT28R. Garret makes 10 variations of the GT28 series.
Here is a comp map for the GT 2560R

Compare to a GT2871R (our favorite 1.8L 200-350 hp turbo)

You can see a dramatic difference between the two turbo's

Hi so if my power goals are between 250~300bhp with good spool, Is GT2560R a good turbo for it?

250 wheel horsepower is at the limit of the gt2560's efficiency island. 300 wheel horsepower is out of the normal reach of the gt2560.

You would want a larger GT28 series turbocharger. The GT2860rs (disco potato) which is a small gt28 would be best for that power goal.

Alonzo brought the car back to ditch the AEM FIC and to use the apexi PFC.

We have a custom harness for automatic celica's that lets us run the apexi pfc for full tuning control, and lets the stock ecu run the automatic trans logic.

Alonzo is the first that we know of to run the apexi PFC and his automatic GT.

The PFC is a leap forward compared to the FIC. We have full VVT control, as well as idle control, injector control, ignition control, cold & hot start control, and cold / hot coolant/air temp fuel compensation.

Here's his final power pull dyno plot compared to his old FIC plot:

Notice the drastically improved low end torque/hp and spool over the FIC. It's double the torque and nearly double the horsepower at 3,500 rpms.

Next up is fabricating the double ECU box to house the two ECU's.

Here's a pic for you all:

Looks like factory wiring.

Will this box accommodate the large wiring block from a boomslang harness? There's no way to fit mine in the factory box..

Yes.

The Ecu box pictured is a double ECU box with a harness to run the PFC and stock ecu in tandem. It replaces the factory battery tiedown and bolts to the stock battery tray.

Right now they are being built to order. We have another box completed for a member on here.
