Part Duex: Tubie Styles

Posted on

So after making this beautiful tubular for the 2AZ engine, we’ve decided to continue to adapt to it. We put a Gt30R V-band housing turbo on the car.

We then had to hook up intercooler pipes and such to this beastly setup along with a 4″ intake for some fresh air supply. Not to mention some exhaust pipes too!

^^3″ v-band and nothing less!

More to come on the rest of the build soon!

Nothing to something…A tale of a tubular manifold

Posted on

We had been toying with the notion of building a tubular manifold for the Scion for a while. We through a few revisions as we are VERY fussy and wanted to ensure we could offer a top notch product at a very competitive price. We decided first to do a top mount, then we realized what we had into making it and priced ourselves out of the ball park for what the market demanded….We then went to a bottom mount and change up the design to make spacial confinements more pleasing…..then some wonderful idea by Paul here lead to this beauty.

Gotta have a jig!!!

Worried about boost control….We did some install, tuning and testing………coming soon!

Like a puzzle.

We have been working long and hard hours with our machinist to get turbo manifold production of our log manifold down easier and more consistent. The end result was using some of his laser table stuff and making some sophisticated pieces.

Started out with schedule 10 304ss tubing and bends….

Turned into this:

 

Slowly she turns……..step by step….inch by inch….

 

Until the final product.

More flow + more boost = NEED MORE FUEL

Posted on

 

So after porting the head and running more boost, we realized we needed to retune and offer more fuel delivery to the engine. You can not add air without adjusting fuel and adjusting spark. We all know that!  So, with the 2AZFE being factory defaulted to a return-less fuel system,  this makes fuel delivery for a turbocharged engine quite difficult.  In fact, with a stock return-less fuel system, the delivery to the rail is exact by each combustion cycle and based upon conditions at that time.  This did not fly very well for a car making well over double it’s factory HP.

Enter the return fuel system.  Ingredients:

  • -6AN light-weight braided NHRA approved lines
  • -6AN black swivel fittings for easy connection and a leak-less seal everytime
  • Aeromotive fuel filter
  • Aeromotive A-1000 fuel pressure regulator
  • Liquid-filled 0-100 PSI fuel pressure gauge
  • AEM fuel rail
  • Chassis clamps to professionally mount your lines
  • Choice of fuel pump
  • All fittings needed to modify your stock sending unit for return

Now with the rising rate fuel pressure regulator this provides us with capability of having infinite pressure adjust-ability plus the 1 PSI of fuel pressure needed to negate our additional PSI of air flow from the turbocharger.

More flow please…

Posted on

 

After seeking cams and a free flowing exhaust along with a large turbine A/R on the turbocharger, we noticed we still had some issues up top to where we wanted to rev the car. We decided to do some porting work on the cylinder head. Ralph cleaned up the casting nicely knife edging the splits in ports, polishing the exhaust and rippling the intake side. All in all, after about 10 hours of work, he did an excellent job. Flow bench tested and approved! Picked up nearly 3 PSI more boost on the setup. Boooooooooooost creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. LOL

Used the following components:

REV +1mm oversized valves on intake and exhaust

REV bronze valve guides

REV dual wound  valve spring & titanium retainer kit

Viton valve seals

We also have plans of building the motor very soon. We have sought out some nice components that won’t break the bank and offer some excellent reliability including goodies from Wiseco and a few other brands….Stay tuned!

1 word. Four syllables. Unorthodox.

Our buddy Adam loves Energy drinks. He is a full time state worker and part time security bouncer in the local bar/club district in Buffalo, NY.  He works crazy hours between the two jobs  and likes to have some fun when he is not working 18 out of 24 hours a day.  So one afternoon he brought by his beloved toy a 2001 Yamaha FZ1000 sport bike. He normally needs extra fuel to keep his wheels turning throughout the night, so energy drinks come into play frequently. Adam’s only complaint  about his bike was that there was 2 wheels and no cup holders.  So, we got to thinking….10 minutes went by and Paul rounded up some scrap metal we had laying around and threw together a cup holder for his drink on the Yamaha. Behold…..

So we got some foam to not have it clanking in the cup holder while driving and she worked 100% fine. Not bad for 20 minutes, scrap pipe, flat stock and a scrap intercooler bracket with some TIG welding. 🙂

 

P.S.-AMP drink not included.

P.P.S.-Tested and proven to speeds of 80mph.

Natural progression of life…Bigger and better.

So after producing our entry level Scion tC turbo system, we sought out to make it that much better.  The system is super clean, makes great power, but lacked some control of the entire combustion cycle to pull it all together. We where first using a GReddy E-manage. That unit did not suit us well and we sought after a more viable solution. Putting our nose to the grind stone, we came up with some beautiful AEM products custom done to work with the 2AZFE.

 

Our first solution was for the AEM FIC. It’s a piggyback that allows for fuel and ignition control.  It worked well, but for hardcore use and BIG power, it was not feasible.

We decided to custom fit an older AEM EMS standalone box to work…..So after several weeks or horrible wiring, problems galore….It was a success.

The unit worked with unparalleled success and truly rocked our socks! We made up a couple more units and sold some to a few customers and a pro race team. Needless to say, they did VERY well. The results speak for themselves.

Making it all come together…2AZFE Inclusive

Posted on

 

Now-a-days, not many shops are into Toyota tuning for one reason or another. Some say that it’s a difficult platform due to ECU logic,  some say it’s a deal that never works out, while others just are not interested at all. Well, here at Dezod Motorsports, Toyota brands make our world go around. We specialize in Toyota, Scion and Lexus brand components and such. We have studied the platform inside and out since 2005 and have become quite skillful in getting around into making some decent power for this brand.

With 2jzge and 2jzgte engines aside, out comes the variable valve equipped 2.4L 2azfe engine found in the following chassis: Scion tC, Toyota Matrix XRS, Toyota Carolla XRS, Toyota Rav 4, Toyota Camry and a few others. We decided to start within the Scion brand as it’s body lines are catchy, the price is right (around $17K USD) and the youngsters love it.

The 2azfe starts out it’s life as a 140 wheel HP engine and with some minor fabrication work, we’ve been able to get some substantial gains to make run spin to about 250-300 wheel HP depending on supporting modifications and tuning.

So just some eye candy….

 

 

 

 

 

Some various dynos from some customers around the country…….Kind of nice what a little boost can do. 🙂

It's really in the pudding.
