Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Got a bit done on the TRD strut brace today started off with a blasting in the sand blasting cabinet.Before and after with the mountsThen the bar this was fun as it was just too long to fit in the cabinet properly so every thing got covered lolThe ends are staying bare alu as thats what they should be by the look of it and the bar is dark gray. Finished!! looks much better now!Fitted Edited November 8, 2012 by Rob H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 well were off back on the Dyno this week for the Hi boost tuning, boost by gear, anti lag, launch control and the hi res knock sensor calibrating to the engine noise, and anything els setting up we can think of lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 sweet cant wait to see what this thing makes any set powergoals your looking for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 No I dont really have any set goals I am happy with the way it goes now to be honest lol so with an extra bar of boost it should be quite fun!! but its more the other bits that are going to be set up that will make the biggest improvements for me. The boost by gear and traction control are the bits it needs most lol because even with the diff it spins the wheels for fun as it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Few more bits to update! Got this nice bit of knobage from a fellow member! Then I finally got round to repainting my rocker cover! While the rocker cover was off I thought it would be a good idea to check the valve clearances now it has some miles on its back and well I will let the photo do the talking lol it took some time to get them spot on again! My stock of ladyboys (shims) All boxed up again with new plugs and it runs so much better it unreal!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi boost (1.6-1.8 bar), boost by gear, traction control, anti lag launch control setting up are just a few of the bits that need setting up in the ECU lol then I have TRD front ARB and white line rear ARBs to fit, and a few other bits to come!! So theres plenty to keep me going for now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xpect Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) May I ask, what are the gains of your spark-setup and was it expensive and hard or cheap and easy (or a mixture of that)? Edited January 18, 2013 by Xpect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 There ain't really noticeable gains but it allows you to run more boost with out blowing out the spark. You really need to go stand alown some of the piggy backs can run coil plugs I think but I'm not sure. As for because well how far do you go lol.Cheers for the comments!
