GT17 too small? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jeemee · 06-06-2009, 02:52 PM

Just curious. If so, what size? GT20, 25, 28?

Plan to start at 7psi and maybe graduate to 8.
No engine management, for now
No intercooler right away, may do top mount later
TC or 1ZZ injectors

Get the GT2554R

That is the smallest garrette BB turbo.

You can get it new from $800-$900

You can get an even smaller Journal B turbo like a GT20 but eventually when you want to upgrade your set up, those units just won't put out any top end power...

You can get easily over 200 whp with the GT2554 and still have a pretty fast spool up time.

Jeemee · 06-06-2009, 05:21 PM

Thanks! Any recommendations on a place to buy?

CASTREX · 06-06-2009, 05:29 PM

Ask Garm.

I recently bought the GT25 he took out of his car...

Jeemee · 06-06-2009, 06:07 PM

Will do. Thanks

cali yaris · 06-06-2009, 06:18 PM

That's a good choice. 7 psi, no I/C and no management might give you 140-150 whp, I think.

Jeemee · 06-06-2009, 06:58 PM

That would be plenty of power. Now the question would be, how safe is that set up?

If I knew the 1nz-fe volumetric efficiency and the air flow at a given rpm, then I could read the compressor maps and decide. Anyone know?

I've been looking through some honda and scion forum classifieds, I see alot of t3/t4s for sale. I'd really prefer no lag or very little obviously. A friend of mine had a t3/t4 on his B16 but I can't remember if he had lag or not. Plus vtec made it hard to tell anyway I'm sure. Hope to come across a GT25 soon.

Jeemee · 06-06-2009, 07:29 PM

If I can get away without detonation and being lean, which I think is feasible, I think I'll be fine. I'm here to gain knowledge though so I'm open to suggestions. I may go with a TMIC, depending if I can find one designed to my likings.

I ran my turbo without management for nearly a year. Tamago ran his with no issues either. It is possible.

The T3/T4 will create way too much lag at low boost; it's just not the right choice for your intended application.

cali yaris · 06-07-2009, 12:14 PM

Real world experience is what makes it good or bad. I am pointing out two cases where it worked fine. Do you have a real-world case where a Yaris (or other 1.5L) failed from running a low-boost application without management?

Your sarcasm does not contribute to the discussion -- your real experiences do!

Tamago · 06-07-2009, 01:05 PM

jeemee, want to buy my charge pipe/intercooler? you'll need a shorter battery however.

Tamago, I'd like to see some pictures. Definitely interested.

The Spectacle · 06-07-2009, 03:29 PM

My objections aren't about boosting a stock motor, its about boosting any motor without the proper supporting modifications of which the primary, and most crucial component is engine management.

at 7 psi the only thing you should be concerned with is a cool IAT and enough fuel, both of which can be achieved without throwing money into complicated engine management
