Vin's EUDM GT86 TRD OEM++

[Vin]

Soo I think I have found a little gem, already found out my car was fitted with a TRD sound generator (WOW :P) when I removed the whole sound generator thing, but it seems to get even better. I never could understand why people fit short shifters, the trow on mine was already so extreme short, like moving a switch. Luckily I was able to try out some other 86 on different meets, and they felt completely different. Also got a video from a third one showing much more trow. As the car had more TRD parts fitted from the previous owner (Toyota Dealership) I'm pretty sure it has the TRD short shifter installed too

Where'd you get the Shell Sticker?

All decals were made by a member of our Dutch 86 club.

Today was a busy day!

So I've coated my header with VHT flameproof last year, absolute junk, it flaked of, luckily removal was easy. Decided to wrap the header with Dei Titanium (easy to do, even when mounted on the car).









Also emptied the RacerX catch can and to my surprise this thing actually works, see the result after 1500km below:





Furthermore I've changed the oil to Castrol Magnatec 5W30 with a nice red TRD oil filter

Im really impressed with the engine temps after the mods (wrap + heat exhanger). After 5 WOT pulls and some spirited highway driving the temps reach 210 F

Met a fellow twin owner a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for a photo shoot, or was it? After some Photoshop magic this is the result.

Put some green as background and will looks like racing on the touge. I saved the pics as PC background

Thanks, I played around with some green but preferred it black and white.

So in the Celica I've used a Pioneer Appradio which mirrors the Android interface on the HU, this worked great but was not super stable, still having Android in the car is so much better than the OEM Toyota Radio, which is slow with outdated maps...

For the 86 I went a different route, a Chinese (brand=Joying) HU with Android 5.1.1 2GB Ram and Intel Sofia CPU, I added a 4G dongle, Toyota harness and USB converter, all from Joying. I've wired in the OEM rear view camera using a 12V to 6V step down. Torque works too, using a cheap ELM327 ODB2 adapter , this allows me to constantly track the oil temp etc.

Looks good. I wonder if Harry's laptimer would run well on it too. Where does it get the GPS signal?

What about the OEM mic for hands free calling? Does it work?

The unit has its own GPS receiver and gets a rock solid GPS location.

Oem mic could work I think but I decided to use the joying mic. (oem mic is hard wired in the loom and I didn't want to cut that.)

So normally I'm more of a picture guy, but that does not show the nice boxer rumble of the car. Made this small video with my nephew, if you play it over a nice stereo it sounds pretty much like in real life

Update time

May was a busy month, we had a dyno day planned and some rolling pics were shot on the way there:







Present at the dyno:






Moment of truth:


And the result, utterly dissapointing:



Here is my car vs a stock 86 (with KN intake). You see the gain from the STG2 in the dip area and in the whole range. However the peak power is a bit low (186 BHP for the stock one vs 199 BHP for mine). It turned out my tune was a bit conservative in the high revs, I now run quite a bit more timing in that area without any issues. Can't wait for the next dyno :P

The next day I was present at Japfest, the Japanse car festival in the Netherlands:
