cp-e install

[Down2TheC]

Yeah, me too! If Jeff can feel the diff, he either has a very sensitive backside or we'll finally debunk the Injen claim that they make the same HP as cp-e. (independantly that is. cp-e already disproved their dyno results in my mind)

That 3K torque boost really helps with our heavy ragtops huh?

[---CAMRAZY---]

I won't believe it until I drive his car!!!

[PXLpainter]

Don't forget I'm in a ragtop guys - weight would definitely have to be taken into consideration here as well.

All I can report so far is noticeable increase in torque and accel. (and sound).

All these will get amplified with the headers/Y-pipe as well. We will be dyno-ing all intakes (OEM, Injen and CP-e - with and w/o the MAF box)

As promised, I will keep you all abreast of our findings.

what do you mean Jeff with CP-e - w/ and w/o the MAF box ?? Don't do the w/o MAX box cuz you'll regret it !! When I was at dyno...guys ask me if I wanna test without the MAF box, I repeat them that CP-e write clearly that it is something to avoid completely...we find out the reason why...the CP-e intake without the MAF box result in a pretty lean mixture...so lean that you can damage the internals !! We tested it at the idle...I know that idle AFR are lean because there is no effort to give...but it was so lean the guy ask the tester to turn it off. All the other test are nice and waited...but do not try CP-e w/o AFR box.

To give you a preview, this makes your conv. about the same as Posh's ride. If you were to drag, she'd crawl away up to 60 then you'd be even from there. (Third gear benifits most from the tune) You'd be within a carlength at 80.

If she had heavy wheels or Milt in the passenger seat, it would be a dead heat.

[Sebas007]

Simple curiosity...

Best run
14.81 SE V6 (w/ CP-e) 3000 RPM start
15.241 SE V6 (w/ CP-e) 0 RPM start

What could be the best run with a SLE V6 ??
I heard 15.7-16.0 !?
I know that Mike did some testing but wasn't weight efficient (I had my extra wheel out of the car and low on fuel but I compensante with my weigh-in at 280-290 pounds... ).


I've an other question...

I wonder how different '04-05 VS 06 CP-e tuning is.

I raced twice with Biggi_e ('04 SLE V6)...me ('06 SE V6) both with CP-e and we were dead even !! But maybe there is difference...

[Down2TheC]

Nah. I think the only diff is conv. vs. coupe. cp-e's '06 effort was to get the tuning the way the '04 was. The ECU change was "changing the dialect" if you will. So they had to tweak their programming. The end result is the same.

Yeah I know all that even so...they cannot be perfect match. I hope you said that to clarify it for others, isn't it ?? haha because if not, I have to acknowldge that I think you think I'm a bit stupid !

No offense just something I feel...it maybe not reflect the reality.

[Down2TheC]

But you just said the '04 and '06 cp-e's were draggin neck and neck. Any Toyota production differences would be tiny from '04 to '04. (and from '06 to '06) So you've answered your own question!

Yeah I know...but I'm still confused. I'm hurry to see Jeff dynos runs

[crispone]

Since I missed this whole thread while I was in JAPAN!!!


Jeff, good to see you got it "in"!

Curious after some time... what are your thoughts?

My BUTT-DYNO continues to give favorable reviews to the CP-e... and at 12,000 miles since installing it, everything has worked flawlessly so far... except for the RAPID DRYING of the afe filter...

I'm further pleased with the MONGO K&N from the "crispmongo..." thread! We'll get Sebas' corroborating results soon... hopefully!


So far, thumbs up!

damn it


now i have to get on the cp-e bandwagon


who wants to bankroll me?!

It will not worth that much, since I'm CP-e official spoke-person !!

BAWAWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA !

[crispone]

Yeah... we need CAMRAZY's opinion in JEFF's ride...


Who's gonna send JEFF a complimentary CRISPMONGO air filter?



WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhh ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

[dude]

finally installed cp-e. some advice for anyone trying to install without colour photo instructions: DON'T! dude at cp-e sent me instructions for 99, which i tried to use, thinking it would be the same. then he sent me written instructions as i asked and tried using that. only after contacting them again that it was not working did they tell me that i need to follow the PICTURES! so after my 3rd install attempt (taking out stock and putting all back), some unnecessary wire cutting and soldering, i get to grin as i hold the accelerator to the floor and letting her rip. imo, 2 gear is most noticable as the tires try to break loose which it did not do as much before. every gear has more pull and i am wondering it the maf up's or eliminated the speed limiter as i was hitting 135 and still pulling. i ran out of safe road at that point. at high rpm, the sound is exotic and slightly hellish. not a ferarri scream but definately worth every penny. at modest speeds it is hardy noticable which is good and bad. to get the grin, you gotta press fairly deep into the go pedal, then you get moving pretty good and usually have to let up unless on hwy. at cruising or light accel there is very little difference which is boring but wont be tiring after a day long stint at the wheel. i think also that the few pounds of stock intake plumbing off the front wheels also is noticable as this car is front end heavy with inadequate shock damping.
