ive been driving my swap daily since monday. first few days were very hot and the car just didnt seem like it had any of the power it should. im running the stock top mount, and let me tell you guys, its very bad in hot weather.
tonight i was coming home late on a very nice and cool night and i saw this hooked up integra...lime green, body kit, etc....it was a 2 lane road, he was in the right lane, and another car was in the left, so i got behind him... light turned green and i could hear that he was giving it all it had by the sound of his loud ass muffler. i waited till the left lane opend up and gave it some gas...it was so easy, i pulled like it was nothing. then i let off and let him catch up, you should have seen the look on his face. the best part is that my car is nowhere near where it should be at. my timing is set at around 7-8tdc (stock is 10), running the crappy topmount (that will change very soon), and only at about 8psi. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

yeah...i know. this was the 1st time that i really wanted to open her up just to see if the lack of power i was having was due to hot weather and the topmount heatsoaking (and it was).
over all the car runs great....its a toyota. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

-------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

yeah i know what you mean tuffy, its so good to know you have the power and that you dont need to show off.
its hard to keep track of how much i spent, but i would say that after selling off some of the stuff from my clip the price ended up somwhere under 4g's. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
