Chino's Turbo Thread

HUGE thanks to Joe (Black Yaris), Ryan and Paco from Doug's Tranz South, Mark, and Joe's wife for not killing him.

Installed, running, working... all is well.

As of right this second this is ZPI's turbo kit. As of this weekend that begins changing. Step one: replace the exhaust.

Impressions:

[1] Boost kicks at 3000 RPM. It is extremely easy to drive the car without touching the boost.
[2] In daily driving situations the car is dreamy. Acceleration is really smooth.
[3] The turbo kicks like a donkey. 14b is a good candidate.
[4] The car would wildly benefit from the following: LSD, beefy axles, internals and a tune. At 225+ WHP on slicks it would be an absolute riot.
[5] Cruises at 70 MPH @ 3100 RPM, just when the turbo kicks in. The setup is perfect for the freeway. Gives you that extra passing oomph.
[6] Ran pretty awful on 87. Much better on Sunoco 94. I'll be using Shell 93 from now on probably.
[7] This is no longer a snow-worthy car. I have 6 months to find a beater.

Pics in 20 minutes. There aren't many.

Don't forget that if it survives for 24 hours, you should ask Whooppee to add you to the list of boosted Yarii.

IF... haha.

Added one thing to the impressions.

On the drive back, selling it crossed my mind once. This car belongs down south. Maybe I'll go and take it with me.

Though about that too.

Think a port and polish would help at this point?

Now you need tons of gauges and a ScanGauge to make you wonder if you are on the edge of blowing up your engine at any time. We Blitz'd owners need to share our nightmare with you turbo'd people.

Really ??? I see them go all day long on craigslist/ebay for around 100 , you can rebuild it yourself for about $50 in parts or have a shop do it for about 250 . Just look for a stock 1g(89-94) eclipse turbo.

Oooooh, I just realized I can finally get my center exit exhaust! Yes!

I also want to see if I can yank 38 MPG on a tank. I'm guessing not.

No. I'll be contacting Perfect Power in hopes of hearing that they think they can tune it, and then hopefully I can ditch the Emanage. (and the CEL) If not, I'll just get it retuned the way it is.
