TTR Yaris Turbo 2015 Updates

[fnkngrv]

Going to be making some updates to the car again the first few months of the year. For now I am just going to post a link to my photobucket album and will update further as I make progress.

quick run down though:

- Turbo inlet piping resolution (notching framerail)
- Turbo inlet piping and filter reroute and size increase
- Turbo to IC piping reroute and size increase
- Possible new BOV and location
- IC to TB piping size increase
- Cable TB conversion (Yeah buddy! will have the stock ECU 100% out of the picture)
- TB size upgrade
- Possible change from Long Runner Intake Manifold to Short Runner
- Install of new ACT 6 puck Stage 3 racing clutch setup
- New custom radiator and fan setup
- Additional heat shielding on tunnel
- upgrading to 3" exhaust DP back with duel outlet
- removable cat section (v-band style)
- install of TRD Trans Mount (dogbone)
- possible screamer pipe of wastegate for the hell of it

Sounds good, dibs on the intake manifold if you decide to upgrade :)

Dude, I have had so many people overseas try to hit me up for the manifold it is stupid. I already have 4 offers on the table.

Do you have any details on the DBC TB conversion? I am in the process of attempting that conversion myself.

[fnkngrv]

Not right now, but I will in the next few weeks. I will have the parts soon.

Added some more pics today.

We decided due to losing the garage soon (short story friend is renting a house and it is for sale; someone is buying) that the battery relocation needs to get done first so that I can get the cover back on the fuel tank. We need to put in the replacement fuel pump and then it is just easier to wire into the trunk for it rather than doing a run up to the front and then end up a couple months later pulling it back to the battery. I am looking at a few options on the relocation of the battery.

Also still trying to hammer out a turbo manifold and the situation is bleak for sure. can't really notch the frame rail as it is right where the suspension bolts up so checking out a couple other options. Really sucks with a motor like the 1nz being in 20 vehicles over the years how hard it is to find a turbo manifold worth a damn that doesn't stick the turbo at the front right of the car (when facing).

Well, ran into a space issue with the new manifold that I ordered as the BW snail is just so damned big! Going to be taking measurements to use the new manifold as a donor toward if possible an equal length version. Also decided that the battery relocation that was planned will need to be postponed. Funding issue and some other logistics are the key issue there.

I am however going to replace the fuse block on the positive terminal as well as a new terminal for both + & - as a refresh.

Received my shift light courtesy of MI too so I am excited to get installed and hooked up. Kind of a pain to have to monitor the stock gauge at 150+ mph.

Ordering the new BOV this week as well as the two AIT kits. Onw for just before the IC and then one just before the TB.

After a mishap for my beat friend with his transmission I have also decided to install a tranny temp gauge as well.

Installed the new fuel pump this weekend and got that all buttoned up so that is progress at least.

Ended up pulling the trigger on a set of those Tanabe Coilovers from MicroImage. Needed to do something since the car sits so low with the body kit that I can't even get it on a trailer to move it! Big thanks to Garm for quality service and speedy shipment.

Interested in intake also.

[fnkngrv]

Well unfortunately it has again been a while for any updating. I have been stalled by the turbo manifold issue however that shouldn't be the case much longer. I have procured a contact and they have had a duplicate of their manifold fabbed for me.



I am awaiting shipping costs and she will be on the way!

WOW! that real nice looking.

Yes, I agree. I am very excited and at the same time apprehension. This was fabricated from a long distance. We had to calculate measurements via documentation and messaging.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the stub at the bottom for? External wastegate?

Yessir! I will be welding the flange myself.

[LittleM@n]

Wow! How much was the manifold?
I'm in search for one, and beside the 2 types ebay log style, it seems that I can't find anything, especially tubular ones, and is quite expensive to manufacture locally.

Thanks!

[xnamerxx]

Out of curiosity what kind of RPMs are you turning in that thing?

The manifold wasn't cheap that is for sure. I have been in discussions with another shop about possibly designing a different hybrid style manifold for the community if there is enough interest. My manifold is one of onlyntwo produced.

I set the rev limit at 7500 last fall however hp drops off before that once I get into 3rd with the long runner MI intake manifold and stock TB. A lot of my design is changing again this year. I will be doing a new custom intake manifold to better suit my turbo and build power band. The theoretical r0m limit could be set at 9k, but there would be no justifiable reason for it.
