It starts!	Tue, 01 April 2003 22:51

Well, after 9 months of perpetual stuffing around, tinkering, leaning on people for favors and blank stares from people who thought I was on drugs, the Corona starts! Nice and smooth, just the way I'd imagined a 2JZGE should be. It's damn loud though - my rather limited exhaust system might account for that! Unfortunately, in what can only be described as a master stroke of pure genius, I have wired the TPS the wrong way around so it senses a decrease in load so it stalled whenever I tried to drive it. It should be off to the dyno by the end of this week for its final tune. The ECU was really easy to setup - the wiring took less than a day with aftermarket ECUs. I'll try and scum a digicam for the dyno runs. Cheers Dave. [Report message to a moderator]

Cool man!! Sounds good!! What rona?? Weight?? Just to give you an insight, I got a "beefy" 114kw@wheels from my 2jzge, with a full 2.5" exhaust from manifold, with hi flow cat (Stainless Mandrel) and a TRSUT replacemtn filter (no pod). Its a 5 speed. Kills?? MY02 WRX wagons x 2 (Surprised myself there)Both top end after 110km AUIII XR8 Ex cop car, beat him 3 times, he had exhaust and auto VS V8 Ute, beat by a car length 3 times Trans Am RS or something.....

Nark: it will require significant logistics to get there and will try to sort it out. Koffee-Black: it's a Corona Mk2 (MX23) - ugly as a bag of bungholes! It'll weigh about 1180 kg when I'm done with it. Your kills sound promising seeing as I have a 200ish kg weight advantage! And I'm certainly not in a position to quibble with 114rwkW - my worked 4M (before it died) only got 78! Glen: I ended up getting a Motec M800. I will be running individual coil packs on the next donk. Worked out cheaper to do that than to get an M48Pro and ignition expander.

Nope, 6-throttle EFI, hence the ECU was really easy to wire up [Report message to a moderator]

ITBs and a proper extractor/exhaust system...No wonder it's making reasonable power! (Just wish I could fit extractors into mine AND afford ITBs...) [Report message to a moderator]

Well, the TPS thing has been sorted, and it now revs to 6000 cleanly. Unfortunately dyno will have to wait till next week. Rob, if you want to see me in a bikini (unfortunately the photo exists....don't ask....), then you are a deeply disturbed man. [Report message to a moderator]

I like it! Is it loud cause of the TB's of the exhaust? Did the wax hurt? [Report message to a moderator]

Draven: turbos are for philestines. Jase: loud because of the exhaust at the moment, but under load I think the throttle bodies will be pretty loud too. Unwaxed, so scarier. [Report message to a moderator]
