Under $2500 Turbo Kit w/Intercooler coming soon!

I also dislike comments like this. As much as I believe in driving skills, at some point, it's just fun to see what can be done with a small-displacement low-weight automobile. With the increase in power provided by a turbo, the Yaris will not only be able to hang with the big boys in the twisties but also in the straights. The engine management needs some work but once it's cracked, we are going to see some serious power out of this little engine. And it's going to be reliable power, and yes more power would be made with a built engine, and who cares if it's front wheel drive, and it's going to be so much fun walking a car with twice our horsepower.

I never said that you could not modify a car to have more safe , usable power . In your own words , if done right . Just that most people don't think things all the way through . They get blinded by greed of power . I also like small displacement cars . That is why I only build 4 cyl and rotary cars . One more thing to keep in mind , whatever we do to our cars , the big boys can also do to their cars ......

cool, it just sounded like you were completely putting down the idea of a turbo yaris, thats all.

so you are also into rotaries? me too. hopefully i can get my hands on a Datsun 1200 so i can swap in a 12A next couple of years. but those chassis are so hard to find in good condition...

[HTM Yaris]

A 1200 , are you talkin about about a 510 Datsun ? send me a pic . Alot of people in these parts are not car savvy .I'll keep my eye out . Just so you know my finders fee is a Mt. Dew . Yeah I love rotaries . Such smooth power delivery . I built the car below . 10th Anny . 125 K on my rebuild and still going strong.

Oh , I'm sure you know this , but don't forget the thermostat and flapper valve for your oil cooler . It will keep your oil cooler from blowing up while the engine reaches operating temps . If you didn't know this Peterson Fluid can help you out . Also you may wanna think about an inline oil filter . It is really cool b/c I don't have to buy oil filters anymore . I just unscrew the filter , remove and rinse the metal element with solvent and then blow dry with air compressor . And the end is interchangeable so that you can add ports for oil senors(s) . See pic below. I learned this trick from those Nascar boys .

Nah a turbo Yaris is totally feasible , but not for 2.5k and be reliable

If you really wanna be impressed , go check out the new Super Duty Ford F-350 . The whole front end is nothing but coolers . There is even a turbo cooler (fluid).

nice rx7 man. clean car. i always liked the t2 body style.
thanks for the info on the inline oil filters, thats a neat design.

the Datsun is a 1200, at least thats the only way i have always known it to be. is not the 510, which i would like to have also, but is usually more expensive. or maybe an rx3 but man those don't ever show up for sale anywhere...

heres a pic of the 1200:

oh that is SWEET!

Here's my next project:



I'm sorry for jacking the thread... back on topic?

Here is my shops 750hp Civic with no oil cooler

[Turbo&Auto]

I've had quite a few turbo cars with and without the oil cooler, its DEFINATELY not a neccesity but nice to have :)

[Trish]

I'm very interested...PM me please when to final kit will be ready to sell and send me, as soon as you can, the all the spec+photos. Thank you!!!

I dont think that we will have many problems with this, I dont know much of crap about turbos, but I know guys who are total turb heads...700hp Single Turbo Supras, High hp Hondas...you name it, they all seem fine, only problem is, you just dont take care of what you have created, it will get loose and eventually win the war. In other words, if you Turbo, take care of it!

If you want low upkeep, get a Supercharger.

[Lafiro]

Ok, we need a supercharger that does 8-11psi. Not just 5psi.

Do a blitz / Greddy xB retrofit and make a custom pulley to take the psi up.

[Lafiro]

If this was that easy then why is everyone doing turbo??????

[CASTREX]

Who is everybody? there are just a few doing turbos... besides the turbo is proven to produce more power. Supercharger is more for the guys that are looking for an easy bolt on an a more relaible source of power.

You can find the xB Greddy charger for $2,400 and it comes with the emange included.

The first FI Yaris in this forum was a xB Blitz retrofit. And it seems to be running fine so far. And according to the owner of that car... the custom work to have it fit was not that hard.

The problem is that it's hard to find someone wiling to spend $2.4K on a blower to see if it works.

If I could find an used greddy charger at a good price I would give it a try.

I have been waiting for just this, I am over with my warranty so I want this turbo set up way bad!!! Once you get it all set up let me know CDY.

When building a turbo kit, use the right stuff. 5 PSI even 8 PSI aint that hot. The reason that kits are usually around that pressure is that the computer connot handle what the engine is trying to do. Stock injestors will be way to small. They will work up to a point but they will not supply enough fuel, why would they? they are set up for a stock engine. You can increase the duty cycle but that is not going to solve the problem. Chip tuning is the only way to do it. Stand alone screws a whole bunch of stuff up, speedo, dash lights etc...

You have to do some reading about the car you just bought. Ain't that simple with the Yaris
