2TR-FE Performance Thread

There is no official line for the manifolds yet. Only the unofficial, which is @BassAckwards, @dirtdigginjoe, @BananaMan , and one other gentleman that PM'd me.

I have not yet even figured out the pricing yet.

Should those 4 be willing to purchase, once I get pricing figured out, then there will be one flange left.

I'll have a much better idea, come Oct.

 

Oh you better believe I'm willing to purchase a custom turbo mani for this project!

 

Does anyone know if there would be any benefit to having the exhaust cam gear for the 2TR recut like the ones with the 3* retard for the 1GR? Not sure if it would work but it would be cool if we could figure that out

 

I don’t have any idea but isn’t that what the VVTi does, Pulls & Adds cam timing?

PM incoming about modifying the washer tank for water injection that was dropped off yesterday.

 

The vvti is on our intake cam only if I'm not mistaken

 

I sure you know more than me!
My info is internet base so you know it 100% true.

 

Yes that's my understanding of it as well but like Patrick pointed out VVTI is only on the intake side for the second gen trucks. Since that's the case, i am thinking there could be some benefit to be had on the exhaust side possibly. Sounds good, i can send you some more pics of how mines set up if needed

 

Would the guys at LCE know? They are up on the older 4 bangers, 22R etc… I can ask my contact there on Monday.

 

They very well might. Couldnt hurt to ask. They make adjustable cam gears for the early 4 bangers, so that might be a good start! Thanks!

 

They 2TR got upgraded to dual VVT in 2015. Its for sure in the 3rd gens. I'm not sure if they started putting it in the 2015 2nd gen, but might have toward the end of production.

 

I think the only notable difference with dual VVTI is audible but I am slightly heavier though.

 

Well said, I'm a novice but doing all this reading and finding out the answers for yourself also makes you learn so much more. It is a head ache but we got to learn.

 

Good dammit California ‍♂️

 

Def need to calibrate the speedo, I'm at 5.29's and 33's and it's almost 20% over. It sucks because at 80 mph I'm hitting my 100mph governor.

 

I just had to dial my speedo back in today. I was running 295/70r17 tires and just swapped to 285/75r17 and it was off a smidge. I am also running 5.29s and have a 5spd. The hypertech calibrator has worked great for me. The numbers you have to plug in are not accurate but you can dial it in with a gps app on your phone pretty easily to get whatever correction factor you need

 

I tried their product, didn't work, they sent a second one and it didn't work either my cluster just went dead. So I returned it. Im really thinking about doing a standalone ECU I don't even know if I can calibrate my speedo going that route?

 

Interesting, I have heard that somewhere else as well, it seems those are hit and miss as to whether they work or not..

I am not sure the stand alone will be able to do that. Since the hyper tech didnt work, you might check out Dakota digital. They make something to recalibrate it as well and I have heard good things about them

 

I did find my cruise control was dead after trying both the hyper-techs, I'm not sure that could have caused it to not work or not we thinking about giving them another go after I get that fixed. Cruse control isn't exactly high on my list it being a standard though.

 

The Hypertech didn't work for me either. I'm running a Dakota Digital module to correct my speedo. The unit I run has been discontinued, but the link below is the new unit.

I think i remember reading recently about someone on here, i believe maybe it was @Sscustoms that was hitting around 12lbs boost with their stage 2 URD kit. Well it was in the mid 60s this morning, and on a 3rd gear pull, right before redline i saw 11.9lbs on my snow gauge and 11lbs on my AEM gauge (the AEM has always read 1-1.5lbs lower than the Snow gauge). I was a little surprised, as i have never noticed this before, but it would appear this isn't an isolated occurrence. URD advertises 8.5 lbs on stage 1 and 10lbs on stage 2. I have a fully opened exhaust (straight thru mufflers only) for reference, but i was wondering if anyone else is seeing around 12lbs as well? I am at 2k feet elevation and im betting if i was at sea level or if it was colder i might be seeing a smidge more
