CP-e Update

[PhreakdOut]

The Gen2 conversation is taking over so I moved this to Gen2 Aftermarket. (A shadow of this topic now resides in Gen1 Aftermarket)

[PXLpainter]

Hehe - yeah - I'll take donations to do this!

I need to find a local shop so I can go dyno the Injen - go home and swap the intakes and take it right back (or if some shop where we can dyno/swap on-site) - does anybody in SoCal area know where we could do this?

I'll do a little checking around as well...

One semester... during my tenure at a school in Kansas... I opted to seek the "most cost effective" way to "endure" a semester... I had a 1969 Step-Van at the time... "DINAH", an old grey "UPS-truck" lookin' "VANETTE" body on a Ford chassis with the venerable 300cid Straight Six. It had the slide/lock open front doors and SINGLE front driver seat... with the STEEP angled two-piece front windshield that looked like big EYES on a face, nearly 4 feet in front of the drivers face. We'd drive around in the spring wearing a white smock and cap while playing "ice-cream-truck" music BLARING on the stereo... and S-L-O-W-L-Y cruise a neighborhood or in front of a park, JUST to see the KIDS come RUNNING UP for ICE CREAM! BWAAAAAAHHHhhh ha ha ha ha!

Anyway....

The ceiling was like an "Airstream" camper... "bulbous" and tall... and you could STAND UP inside of it... even JUMP AROUND! I had placed some remnant carpet on the floor, and a small three drawer dresser nailed to the wood board flooring as well. I LIVED in the van in the parking lot at next to the dorms... paying ONLY tuition... (NO room and board...) and for meals, I worked each lunch hour for about 90 minutes in the FOOD SERVICE as a DISH WASHER with some stoner dudes. We would TOSS the plates around like it was a game... and in exchange, the manager of the Marriott food service allowed me to eat for free AND take anything I wanted from the kitchen after meals. (I ate better in my VAN than most students did in their rooms!) Didn't buy a single text, but went and used the library copies or didn't read the material at all... just "winged-it"... the ruling in the dorms was that you could stay up to TWO nights for free in someone's room as a guest... then you had to PAY from the third night... so I just ALTERNATED between two other guys without a roommate, when it got too cold to sleep in the van... and used the SHOWERS and other facilities like I lived there! (My van was just out the back entrance... )

Anyway... just wanted to put "college-student-with-vehicle-like-a-Solara" into perspective...

I'll post a pic of "Dinah" the van someday... just to lend "creedance" to my ramble...

I think it would be a good thing to do...I'll donate 10$ for it. (Since I put 250$ already in previous onw dyno runs). To make it quick at the dyno shop. Just install the module in the glove box with all the connection and use a jumper to avoid the using of the module by the car ECU for the time you are running the Injen (maybe Down2Thec might explain it better). Then when you'll be there, the only thing you would have to do is change the Injen pipe by the CP-e pipe (the dyno tech might do this part...) during this time you take off the jumper and plug the 2 MAF wire correctly...really easy. Tell them that the sound is nasty in closed room before the first run, anyway they'll know it!! hahaha

I'm in for a small donation to DYNO Jeff.

Milt, THAT shlit is the SHLIT!

Very nice looking (and SOUNDING) work on that cut-off.


I'd be curious about the impact to flow in the closed position... IF the performance was NOT superior in the OPEN position. If the OPEN position could be "tuned" to PERFORM in a superior "all-out" manner... I'd DEFINITELY love to have that "ON/OFF" option! (Nice on the turbo supra with multiple AND variable boost settings at the push of a button or turn of a dial.)

Are you thinking seriously about this set-up for a gen 2? I'd love to have HEADERS + your valve idea... granted I could prevent a "loss" of performance with it installed... whether OPEN or CLOSED. (The option to OPEN it up even if the maximum performance was achieved "tuned" with it closed, would STILL be very cool for "INTIMIDATION/IMPRESSION" when sitting at a light or showing the car around... hell, it's GREAT just to LISTEN to it by YOURSELF!



PS: How MUCH for our gen 2's?

Hey Jeff..can you tell us when you'll receive and install the CP-e module....to make the dyno run comparaison once for all !?
I'll give a donation for it and I thinkI'm not alone.

[PXLpainter]

Okay - I found a local Dyno center and will call them later to see if they can allow me to do two tests back-to-back. I'll take the CP-e with me when I go in.

So - how can I just pre-wire the controller unit without hooking it up to anything on the other end ahead of time? Will it affect anything or not until the other end is plugged-in?

Thanks - Jeff

If you do all the connections with the supplied 3M connectors....you could just "build" a wire jumper with 2 male connectors to each end like I did. Because the installation involve to cut 1 wire (the MAF wire to plug in the CP-e module). So, to run your Injen correctly, you'll have to use this basic jumper. You really have to do the connections before going to the dyno shop.

With my little Dyno shop experience, they offered me 2 ways to go. Option 1 is 3 runs back to back without modifications for something aound 90$. Option 2 is 1 hour with a tech with infinite runs for 140$...I choose option 2.


I hope it is enough clear...Down2Thec or Crisp are better in sheakspear language then I can be. You may ask to those 2 masters your questions...or take a chance with me, I'll try to answer you with my best english !! haha

[PXLpainter]

Yeah, thanks Sebas... unfortunately my French is REALLY BAD, so way ahead of me on the language!! I mostly only know the naughty words and can't spell most of them! LOL!!

[Sebas007]

hehe I know I'm not THAT bad with my english usage...however...I feel that I'm really not well understood ! hehe Maybe it's just my feeling...

Oh, I see already some comments, approbating my last statement !


To come back to the subject of the thread...

Step 1 is to dyno-test Injen VS CP-e

Step 2 is see if there is enough interest in exhaust performance parts coming for Gen 2 owner...I know that we are at least 4-5 interested and ready to pay for it...but I didn't read a big enthusiam until now from the rest...

what up guys i am new to his forum, i have search but i cant seem to find anything. My question is since I have the 04 v6 se camry which has the same motor as you guys the 3mz-fe will this intake work for my car? I emailed them but they said they didnt know.

Thanks

What's up man, welcome to SG. I would think it should work...

PM Sebas007, the guy that posted above you. He knows the product line and he can help you out.

[Sebas007]

The only thing you have to know is if the Camry/Solara share the exact same intake and MAF settings...they should share all the same (intake, engine and exhaust system). You would have to ask a Toyota expert (a real one not does dealership selling guys) an ask if the 2004 Toyota Camry SE V6 share the same MAF as the 2004 Solara V6. The ouput numbers are exactly the same coming from the same engine...so I would say yes!

[---CAMRAZY---]

Where do I buy 2 from????

[PXLpainter]

^^Bro - you can only get them directly from CP-e...

http://www.cp-e.com/2018.html

They should have the next batch ready soon - it's already been a month since I ordered mine...
