  1. You can also remove all three cats, but probably won't pass the tests ? I have no problems on this matters where I live. By doing so you will need an o2 simulator or equivalent; it is sold in the USA by Toyomoto: www.toyomoto.com
  2. Can you describe which are the benefits that Autofix back up for this header ? Is it made for the supercharger kit on ?
  3. Guys...sorry I couldn't answer before, but I ewas out of town. dboey, With the final gear 4.7, I will "much" have better low end torque and max speed will be limited ONLY to 225km/h ? In my country (Dominican Republic) you can only go this fast for the most of 4 Min., so I guess this is more than enough. TRD 328 As I replied to dboey...here we try to get speeds for short lengths and not for lengthy highways, mostly as you mentioned; drag racing. The torque convertor was about US$600.00, and it is one of the most beneficiary aftermarket modifications or add ons I have felt in the car, regardind time acceleration reduction (This mod. only works fron starts !!!).
  4. Guys I received and installed my final gear drive (4.7:1) yesterday. It works fine, and feels great. Now I have no second gear sluguishness from the automatic trasnmission...
  5. Do you guys own a Lexus or what ??? Stop being BMW's wanna bee's....
  6. You never offered !!! But under the conditions this tranny is going to be functioning, it might be better the Auto one over the manual: no missed gears, no faulty tire grips at fast starts (0-100mts.), ect.
  7. Guess what guys ??? I found an used, complete transmission for less than US$300.00. Now I will send the valve body for the upgrape....I'll let you know the difference....
  8. Mark The problem is that it only vibrates and makes noise at initial use (In the mornings, or after several hours standing), after it heatens the noise and vibrations go out. What oil do you use ? Is there anything sold for a total solution ? What oil do you use if you install a TRD LSD into someone's car ? Do you sell the TRD Gear oil ?
  9. Guys if it is what I believe...when it's open it looks like a triangle. It's to be located on one of the other three tires that is not lifted to hold the car in place, in order for the car to be stable and not move forward or in other cases backwards.
  10. Do you know what oil did they put in or is recomended for this LSD ? Mark what oil do you use at TDI ?
  11. Guys, I've installed last week an LSD. But when the car is cold, specially in the mornings, I feel an extreme amount of rattle and vibrations on the rear end. When I installed it I out in Red Line's 75W-90 gear oil, plus 4 Fl. ounces of gear friction modifier. What could be the problem ? Has anyone installed this ? What Gear oil have you used ?
  12. TRD 328 - My car's original FGR is 4.3:1, what could be the benefits of upgrading to a higher one ? Whon't I loose top speed ? How can this make the car rev faster ? How should I know which of the 3 you mentioned is better for me ? Where can I order it ?
  13. fluff34567 - Yes, I'm trying to get a used transmission from someone who upgrades his car and b installes everything fron a GS300. If I get it then I'll probably be sending the valve body to the USA at Level Ten to upgrade..... d boey I've already done the TC upgrade and it feels like another car from start, it did a full second faster at 0-400 meters after the modified TC, which was done by the same people I mentioned (Level Ten) / By the way what is buddy Club Spec b ?..... Supercharged IS430 - Changing the tranny would be to much for me, since this transmissions are VERY expensive plus here at Dominican Republic (here is where I live) we don't have many people who can support on this change, plus I believe that I can obtain many results from the automatic one; it even is more confortable....
  14. I don't undersatnd what you mean by mechanical bypass, but in the US several companies do this upgrades; what they do is: This upgrade will optimize the shift points, improve the shift feel, and improve the pressure rise, the transmission will run cooler and last longer. If you ship your valve body to their plant — they will incorporate the upgrades immediately and return it ready–to–install. Fixes sloppy shifts, planetary burn up, band and clutch failures. Lowers trans temperature for improved durability. A must have for NOS, Turbo, and Supercharged machines.
  15. I'm trying to obtain a used valve body for my Lexus IS200 (Wiith TTE compressor + TDI Stage 1 polley) (The car has an automatic transmission - 4 speed). What I'll like to do is modify this valve body to obtain more pressure in the transmission in order to have less "****ting lag", for which the car could respond in quicker acceleration, especailly from 1st. to 2nd. gear. Does anyone know where I can get this used valve body ? Does anyone know whereI can do this valve body upgrade ?
