turbo kit > Twins Turbo

[cali yaris]

The shop that did my tC has expressed interest in building a kit for the Yaris. I will meet with them next week.

I know management issues have not been solved, but these guys tend to go for standalone anyway. I'll post again if I have something new to tell!

+1

there is going to be alot of people going nuts about the idea of a "twin turbo" yaris, despite the fact that the company is named for a set of actual twins...

How good are the internals in this car??.. and from what I've read your axles appear to snap around 190 whp.....

[cali yaris]

Hey, I'd be pretty happy with a 50 whp increase.

I'd like to see a confirmed report of axles snapping at 190 whp? I have not heard of this, and even if so, it leaves a lot of room for power gains, doesn't it?

[thestereogod]

spkrman did, I dont know if he's a member here or not recently broke an axle and is only pushing 183 whp....90 whp isnt alot of room for gains....on my car our axles dont start breaking till 400+

not the greatest source in the now defunct ZPI, however it is still a blown axle

[thestereogod]

also the Drive Shaft Shop makes axles for the XA/XB....I've heard these will work ont eh echo/yaris

[Kaotic Lazagna]

they're Eric and something something, right? they used to host a show on Speed (i think). anyway, keep us posted.

probably right on the axles.

and the internals are shit.

[eTiMaGo]

If I recall properly, ZPI had axle problems with a boosted xB on slicks (and I think it was boosted more than the 180hp of their normal kit).

[Sabretooth]

Seeing that they once said that an xB axle was snapped like a twig, with slicks at 12psi or something like that.

I wouldnt go past 5-6psi for such a small car, and you should get around 130-140 whp... Nothing drastic, but safe.

Oh and back to the whole internals thing, There isnt anything really but forged piston heads. The rods are this cars huge weakspot, plain and simple, they would snap if you pushed them for any moderate length of time.

[cali yaris]

I have Drive Shaft shop axles in my tC. They were expensive though, so I'm not sure I'd go that far for my Yaris.

Like I said, I'd be happy with 50 hp more. To the wheels, of course :smile:

[thestereogod]

I have the DSS axles on my SRT-4 and they are well worth the money....

the whole rods madeout of glass thing worries me though....ecspecially with installing this turbo kit...

[Yaris Omega]

Holyshnip twin turbo yaris thats going to be sick on hell of a yaris hell yeah

[cali yaris]

For clarity:

The Yaris will have ONE turbo.

The name of the company is: Twins Turbo
(Eric and Mark own the shop, they are twins.)

[Lafiro]

Wow thanks for saying that so early, I was having fun reading people still posting that they thought it was two turbo's, they just dont read words with all there letters and meanings!!!! No disrespect, my mind is just a blur right now from...

there we go, Eric and Mark. that's the other name. hahaha.

[Vanderkitten]

We have 2 cars heading to the shop next week for a special Turbo kit install... and they are Twin cars... so we will have Twin Turbo's... get it... they're twins... er, uh, ok I'm done.

Anyhow, we are looking for that magic 150whp. My car is currently 97whp with no cats and the full race headers and exhaust. I would not be complaining with 140whp, the 2004 GTI 1.8T makes 150 a the wheels and weighs 2900lbs... and they say hat 7lbs = 1hp... and that car runs a 7.1 0-60, so before the clutch blows out, I think I could manage a mid-6 or something.

Anyhow... it should do wonders on the track!

[blueskana]

Awsome.

[cali yaris]

Good news! I hope you'll share your progress so we can all learn and hopefully follow in your footsteps!
