Turbo kit Brainstorming - Toyota Yaris Forums

Gideon · 04-18-2009, 10:47 PM

So with Chino in the hands of the ZPI kit and the universe awaiting the E-manage map to be posted, I figured I'd get started on start piecing together a cheap, sort of copy cat of his kit to use the E-manage tune to get going.

For manifold I assume the one from TurboToyotas because I don't know of any other.

Used TD05 14b for the turbo.

Because I want to keep this as cheap as possible I'm thinking about using an intercooler off a Saab 900 turbo:

I don't know if there are any in the junkyards around here, I'm going to check tomorrow, but they can be had on eBay right now for sub $50.

Again, to save money I'd like to mount it directly above the engine so as to use the least amount of piping, very similar to what is seen on the Vitz Turbo M/Modellista Turbo:

I'm at a loss about what sort of BOV to install, so if I could get some recommendations here, that would be great!

Now, I assume the tune on Chino's kit was done with the MAF on the boosted side, so I guess that I'll have to in place after the BOV with some minimal piping and curving to mate to the TB.

I'm curious as to the changing in IC piping length will mess with the tune, but if it does at all I'm hoping it's minimal so I can get the car semi-drivable if only to get it to a tuning shop to get it fix the tune to account for this.

So little details would be oil lines. Where do I tap in for them? Should I invest in like a ZAGE oil pan or just tap a return line in my stock one?

Any and all thoughts appreciated, I'm not really familiar with turbocharging, but really this NEEDS to be done, if not on my car, then on others, because we need more boosted Yarises out there to encourage others to improve on what we already have.

I will be making a DIY on this kit if it works out so other members can follow and get their boost on.

I tapped my pan. Use whatever BOV and wastegate you like, as long as it's a name brand. I like TIAL.

I think you can get a bigger IC for $50 used.

PETERPOOP · 04-18-2009, 10:58 PM

does the ZPI kit use the greddy emanage ultimate, the blue?

cali yaris · 04-18-2009, 11:03 PM

think so, yes

Gideon · 04-18-2009, 11:11 PM

Wait, the E-Manage ultimate and the E-manage Blue are two different products I thought?

PETERPOOP · 04-18-2009, 11:12 PM

yah they are. lol cali yaris is being tricky.

i heard from many people that the ultimate is the way to go, not the blue. blue is bad.

Gideon · 04-18-2009, 11:15 PM

I'm pretty sure the Blue is what the ZPI kit has, and it's operational so really that is all I care about right now.

The Ultimate is pretty bad ass though, what with the self-tune learning and Nengun even has the harness for the Vitz, which I would hope would be the same for us over here.

But! It's double the price of the Blue, and I'm going cheap and easy.

PETERPOOP · 04-18-2009, 11:17 PM

don't do the blue! i've only heard bad things about it dude. get the ultimate, that's what i'll probably be doing to retune the blitz kit.

I'd just grab a free BOV from a DSM at the junkyard IMO i got one.. and it comes with the adapter piping too!!!

Yeah, I read through his build thread over on SL while I was thinking this up, but good idea.

Gideon · 04-19-2009, 12:47 AM

Oh wait, Chino left?

Gaaaaaaaaaay.

Gideon · 04-19-2009, 12:50 AM

Well, that blows. No posting of the tuning map I guess.

PETERPOOP · 04-19-2009, 12:52 AM

lol. yah, unless you get his phone # from someone. look up his username and check his recent posts. he was doing like farewell posts to people and said you can get his # from acouple of the users on this board.

YAR1S · 04-19-2009, 12:54 AM

yuppp there goes the turbo thread.

he has a myspace too, FYI

Sabretooth · 04-19-2009, 12:54 AM

Im sure if you asked him for it, he would get it to you, you can find him on Myspace, or even he may have left his contacts for AIM here.
