Turbo kit for cheap!!! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Spectacle · 09-10-2009, 04:53 PM

Cool. I wouldn't expect a bolt on kit for the Yaris to go for less than 5k. Even then, it'd probably be less than complete. DIY? A little less but a ton more headache. You better know what you're doing before you get into a project like this.

Yeah I hear you, I have the proper support. Thats why I am not jumping into it either. Its costly and bad if not done right. So for now I am working on suspension and lightening. I have already take seat out and some other stuff, and I am trying to see what the next thing I should do is.... I was thinking pullies or sway bar/springs first.

If your ultimate goal is to go FI, I'd say leave everything under the hood stock. Once you go boost, whatever you do for N/A will be for naught.

chongopants · 09-10-2009, 07:13 PM

Yeah so just wait til I can do FI, so I dont waste cash? But I am trying to weight which I would rather do, FI is $$$ and lotsa work... otherwise I could do a little at the time....

You can't properly boost the Yaris (or any car for that matter) for $500. Please don't attempt to.

You again huh....

TRUST ME CHONGO IF YOU COULD HAVE FOUND TWO TURBOS LIKE I DID THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT BE HARD TO START PIECEING TOGETHER YOUR OWN TURBO KIT I JUST HAVE A FEW PIECES FOR NOW BUT ITS SLOWLY COMMING TOGETHER. I HAVE KNOW DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT YOU WILL START GETTING YOUR TOGETHER REAL SOON.

chongopants · 09-11-2009, 12:21 PM

Yeah I am really debating whether or not its worth the time and money at this point. But I am keeping my mind open...

chongopants · 09-11-2009, 12:26 PM

Could someone PM me with a list of what all I will need to get? This will be my first turbo... other than the obvious... what do I need? Like replacement oil pan? or do you drill/tap your own?

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 03:07 PM

GO TO 365 MOTORWERKS GET AN OIL FILTER SANDWICH BLOCK AND THAT SHOULD KEEP YOU FROM OIL PAN.

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 03:14 PM

WE WILL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER ON HOW TO PUT THE TURBO KIT TOGETHER FOR YOU MAN. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW YOU WANT IT.

As an oil return line from the turbo? I don't think so.

jt258: your interest in FI with regards to the Yaris is noted and appreciated but I do have a small request: Can you not use capslock in your posts? I feel like someone is yelling in a very quiet room when I read everything in all caps.

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 04:49 PM

Sorry about that im having an off day today.

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 04:57 PM

well cali did you drill and tap your oil pan or did you buy another one?

Nexus1155 · 09-11-2009, 05:45 PM

the oil sandwich plate is great for a feed as well as a pressure sensor, but i dont think so for a return. But where would you tap in also for coolant?

Go ahead and do it then. Let us know how it goes. I'll just leave it at that.

You can tap your own. Buying an aftermarket one isn't necessary unless you got money to blow.

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 06:54 PM

well im just curious to know because i will be the first one to tell you that dont know everything, but i know a few things about turbo cars.

jt258 · 09-11-2009, 06:57 PM

those few things dont include how to route oil and coolant lines for a turbocharged engine.
