It should be your problem root cause...

Nope, it's not the gearbox bushing...
I have the cusco gearbox bushing, i have installed it last thursday, but i had this noise before. And it's not the center shaft bearing, we lifted up the car, someone was inside, and hitted the accelerator in every gear, and then decelerated. And the bearing is good, it was not vibrating. And the car wasn't vibrating so hard either. So i think it is coming from the rear end.

My story about it:
I have the same vibration like apardal, exactly the same. I have changed the suspension bushings to prothane with my mechanic, and then this sound came. It's a very bad thing, the whole car vibrates, but only in first, second and third gear when i decelerate and around 3000-3500 rpm. I don't know where it comes from, i'll try to loosen all screws from the suspension, and retighten them, maybe my mechanic did something wrong when changing the bushings.

I'll report when i found the what's causing this problem.

hello,
I saw your very nice video,so much power this is very impressive with standard injection system.
Do you still use MS with MAP? obviously you manage to control the ignition(VAST) with the MS?
would you have some photos of the last setup, engine bay etc..
many thanks and congratulations again for your car!

In my engine, besides crank, block and connecting rods, only the intake manifold is stock, but without T-VIS.

The injectors are 300cc's.

I'm using MS with MAP and it controls the ignition, of course.

My engine bay is rather stock... only intake air filter aftermarket... you will find pictures throughout the post!

Thank you for your comments!

Best regards

Well, just spend 2 hours updating all the links from my project's photos because they were offline for a few months now.

For all of you who have nothing to do and want to spend dead time... everything is back online!

About the car itself, the news are that I got new TRD 304º Camshafts that run very poorly with the stock intake and the ITB's have not been installed yet because I'm missing the throttle linkage and lever.

I've also installed new oil cooler with new hoses to keep things cool.

To keep dirt away from the engine, I bought a Pipercross PX600 air filter that I'll install as soon as the ITB problem is solved.

Best regards
