Skiddz's Ta22=>aa22

[skiddz]

hi guys

 

i thought i would start me a members ride thread, i have been threatening to do it for a while:P

 

well this is what i have at the moment:

 

thanks gerrard for the photo of me filling up:P

thats the old powerhouse

the new one

the ta22 (top)and an ae71 crossmember(bottom)

empty engine bay (how is no engine progress?:))

 

at present the engine is sitting on its new mounts all in alignment and all that needs to be done is the tailshaft mods.

 

ill get some pics of it tonight maybe, then i gotta take it all out and paint the bay, then engine goes back in and i attempt to tackle the wiring :hmm:

 

anyway thats all for today, some updates tomorow depending on progress of course

 

take it easy everyone

Oi... thats my weber :hmm:

Hey that 1st photo is just down the road around the corner from me. Is the 20v going to get any work ?

[flat out]

what colour are you painting the engine bay?

[skiddz]

jarad: yes thats ur weber

 

des: yep thats a servo just outside beauy coming back from the lions road-border loop us classic celica peeps did

 

and engine bay will be black to match the rest of the car, it only gonna be a rough job cos .... well its the engine bay

 

20v will be stock for the moment, with the addition of a nice set of 4-1 extractors and a f00li siCk y0 pod filter cos i can't make the airbox fit neatly anywhere, it will be on factory management for a while till i understand how to tune the adaptronic properly (thats gonna be my ecu fi i ever upgrade) umm maybe some porting if i get bored..... and a rebuild soonish if its tireder than what i thnk it is, but yeah there isnt ah whole lot u can do (i beleive) to a 20v without going force fed, and i dun wanna go there cos I'm a sissy :hmm:

 

check my thread on toymods, its got a few more pics n shit, and a few more questions answered, i *might* put pics of my new mounts up, but yeah, I'm a lazy turd and if all goes to plan i should be back on the road late jan early feb, but like i said if all goes to plan.....

 

take it easy

There will be maps avaliable for the Adaptronic for silver top soon, You could use the blacktop as everything will be set up, youll just have to adjust the fuel a few points, I am also going for the Adaptronic soon too.

But great to hear you thinking of using one, i can't see you going wrong with that choice.

nice to see your on top of all the important questons casey... you'd make a good journalist..... :hmm:

 

anyway.. looks good, good luck with it..

there is a silvertop map used by anthony kellam to get the cars started, but as he says they really need a dyno run. differece is with the black top it runs map, not a huge issue if i set up a map sensor, but then its got slightly different cams and a few other differences

 

but yeah its coming along, engine is back out, bay is being cleaned up, shit removed tomorrow night, then painted later on next week

if your using a Adaptronic it will be TPS + MAP anyway, Nobody would bother using a AFM if they have the map option as a AFM has some restriction. But the Silvertop and Blacktop will use TPS for most of the metering + the MAP, Just beacause a engine and ECU came as a AFM or MAP doesnt mean you can't change the ECU and the AFM or MAP sensor to make it the other, My silvertop uses MAP.

There is no reason you can't use the Blacktop setup (as the sensors will be calabrated, Because that will take you half a day to do for a start) and adjust the fuel points a little. The Blacktop setup would be a better start than the anthony kellam setup.

you make a valid point there.... but I'm staying with factory for the minute. how much is acutally gained from an aftermarket ecu? cos my goal for this project is an efficient daily driver with a bit of power for fun, and good drivablity, id hate to sacrifice a lot of driveablity for a little bit more performance
