From France

This 2018 year, I swapped stock gearbox by C64 EURO 2ZZ's one : a whole another car, more enjoyable and faster.
The inconveniant was the consumption. This last month, something in the transmission broke off. I don't know what.
I bought a Celica GT EURO transmission = the best mix between C64 TS and C60 EURO MR-S transmission.
>>> TS transmission swap is the best mod. But between France/USA, the roads and speed limits are differents.

Things who changed :
- central/rear storage deleted
- short shifter from Ebay
- Pre-FL wheels + H&R spacers (3cm front/rear 4cm)
- SARD style spoiler/wing adaptation (initially made for GT86/BRZ)
- Fyralip front lip spoiler on Ebay
- Kirkausorus engine mounts inserts
- BC Racing BR-RA coilovers (4kg front/rear 6kg)
- modded TTE exhaust for higher exits
- Toyota Celica GT EURO transmission
- 2ZZ clutch + MWR flywheel
- AEM UEGO Air/Fuel Ratio
- PPE CAi (first version with aluminium airbox)
- Apexi Power FC E85 tune (440cc injectors + AEM fuel pump 310L/h)

FIRST project : Fyralip front Lip spoiler.

SECOND project : exhaust modification.

THIRD project : Corolla TS EURO transmission.

On tachometer at 7000 rpms (MR-S EURO trans - Corolla TS C64 trans) :
- 1st : 40 - 38 mph
- 2nd : 67 - 56 mph
- 3rd : 96 - 75 mph
- 4th : 134 - 93 mph
- 5th : 152 - 118 mph
- 6th : not enough power - 137 mph

Acceleration on tacho (stock ECU / PFC SP98 tune) :
- 0 to 65 mph = 5,9 sec / 5,3~5,4 sec
- 0 to 106 mph = 16,5 sec / 14,8 sec
- 0 to 125 mph = 1km (0.621 mile)

In this configuration, the MR-S compete with +210 hp recents cars (faster than VW Golf 6 GTi).

FOURTH project : SARD Style Spoiler.

With cai, response on small acceleration is not the best.
Exemple from 40 to 50mph, you have to press gaz pedal pretty far to make the car moving.
With PPE cai, airbox and 63mm hose, you don't need to push far the gaz pedal. A small pressure is enough to make the car go from 40 to 50mph.


So in May 2017, I dynoed my car with PPE cai.
PPE CAi first generation> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ_C9QIAwhs

I wanted to know if there was a difference from 1ZZ and 2ZZ injectors.
Result : stay with 1ZZ injectors (exept for MAF MOD witch has been proof).


I wanted to know if 63mm diameter give a better response. On street, I feeled faster/better response/power at low rpms.
Result : better bellow 5000rpms (more whp/torque/MPG) // bad after 5600rpms (63mm is too restrictive - power/torque decrease).

The better compromise between 83mm/63mm is 75mm : not too big below 5000rpms -not too small after 5600rpms.

Dyno graph after E85 tune (in Jun 2018).

Same setup than dyno graph on top. I swapped stock injectors for Lotus SC 440cc and AEM 320 L/H fuel pump Spec.E85.
Less power than SP98 : different dyno - hot air temp - dysfunctional IACV (idle goes up and down). PFC need to be lightly retuned.

I created an aluminium gauge mount for my AEM AFR.
There is no screw. I have been inspired by rivet system >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbe0lsgRmr4

For my PPE air intake, I replaced Apexi filter by a Power Enterprise (FL02) witch has smaller diameter. So I closed the "hole" section.
I wrapped PPE CAi with ThermoGuard heat and sound insulation (60x120). Efficient. Air temp stay cold, at least as exterior temp and not engine bay temp.

For thoses who want to build their own short/cold air intake, here is in photos the specs of my PPE CAI (the first version).
