thought id add some pictures of my small, hidden front mount.




its a custom job done by the guys pros who did my conversion. its the same lenght and height as the front grille. no lag with the charger.

also been driving my car since i got it back. apparently i only get hunting idle when the engine is cold which is nice. i have a bigport throttle body sitting here but i cbf to do the conversion right now.

this isn't a technical question about 4A-GZEs but i just finish my conversion and i was wondering how it went in the wet with all low down torque or if it rain you just don't drive it?

[riojin]

whenever I'm driving i only ever push my throttle the slightest bit regardless of the weather. anymore than that it spins in 1st. i do this to save fuel.

when I'm having a go I'm never over 3rd gear because my 3rd gear goes up to and maybe over 150km. it wheelspins 1st through 3rd gear if i boot it and stops when i shift to 4th.

you get used to driving it in the wet, just don't boot it unless you wanna slide

i pretty much idle in the wet... mine wanted to step out all the time, ESPECIALLY in the wet...

i.e... pulled out of my street, turned left, the road i turned onto has a slight camber (high on passanger side, low on the divers side). There was a dude washing his car, so there was water going accross the road. I took off normally, went across the water and it steped out... would be partially due to the camber in the road and my shitty low suspention, but mine steps out in the wet real easily...


and hill starts are a prick

too easy to drop 4th in the wet lol.

But yeah, 1st-3rd gets me wheel spin on boost

Agreee with wet weather, + light rear weight + torque = death

You really have to grandma them in the wet unless your trying to step it out, or it will bite you.

anyone got some more info?

Just found out ive killed an SC belt already, might get the proper size one this time.

Another tip on converting, for the SC outlet out can flip it and gazket goo, drill out a few holes and it works fine. Also 20c coins fit perfect in the abv hole.

umm, i want my BIG pulley now!
