Let's get Turbo'ed!!!
I had a brief conversation with Gwasabi about turbos. It seem like making a basic non-intercooled turbo with 6 pounds or less of boost would be pretty easy to make.
My objective is looking for a reasonably priced way of making an increase in power which will really make a difference. I am sure if we all put out heads together we can make a really basic kit with not too much cost. Who would be interested in this??? |

fuji, if you want to become a vendor for a low-cost, low-boost turbo kit, I'm sure people would be interested.

Welcome to Hawaii, Tamago and mrbond.. LOL
GT25 turbo with oil and water lines, internal 6 psi wastegate turbo exhaust mani downpipe fit to your stock exhaust or custom exhaust (recommended) piping fabricated as needed. BOV possible larger injectors (1ZZ or Scion tC) gauges if you care about your motor Done...you can close the thread now. LOL j/k but they are right about the hundred threads about this.

Yea, don't ask me about it because I know nothing about cars while Mr Poop over there is the overwhelming Genius who spends 3k on a supercharger making what? 30 hp when he could of done exactly what Brian is suggesting and get double. He's right though. Talk to devin, He knows his stuff.
as far as cheap go, Cali Yaris's setup suggested is probably the cheapest way to go. Find akid who crashed his SR buy his turbo for like 50 bucks. get the manifold and downpipe from turbo toyota's or custome make one. get some intake piping done, BOV and 2zz injectors. You probably wont have to get management at a low leel boost but I would recommend it either way. All in all garanteed cost less than that overpriced crap supercharger setup from blitz. Superchargers are cool and all but seriously? 3k for 30hp..... not a smart investment on this car. HAwaii is getting kinda crowded, didn't know so much people lived in Hawaii on this forum lol.

Holy crap - let's all play nice here - remember aloha spirit!
I recognize the name Devin, is that his name on the forum? Thanks for the help Gwasabi, it looks like this would be do-able. Now I have heard of the magical no. 6 pounds of pressure but what about using a bit less like 4 or 5? Could this a potentially less problematic amount of boost? My goal is not to have to mess with the engine internals. Any help with good local resouces for parts or reliable online sources would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else on the island want to build one with me? We could even possibliy build two at the same time. I have a nice big 4 car garage we can use! |

I would just buy the turbotoyota log manifold. Find a salvaged or crashed SR20 turbo (garrett t25) and build on top of that. The rest like piping and stuff let me know cause I got some people who can do it.
I would agree 4 to 6 is ok without building the motor. And sorry Garm no offense and I respect your input but Hawaii market for parts is a little different than mainland so price wise I would have to say for that supercharger, it's far from the best deal. Turbo manifold = 600 Garrett t25 off SR = 100 custom intake piping = 200 BOV = 200 - 400 injectors = 50 misc parts = 200 1500 bucks for the kit I suggest. LOT OF TIME. no management w/ super low boost. That would be what I would estimate. or you can dish out about 3k for a Greddy XB turbo kit and a little fabrication and bam! your good to go. Second fastest yaris after devin kicking peter to 3rd lol And the reason why i bash on the blitz supercharger is because 1: its ugly. not my taste 2: it's overpriced for the amount of power your getting 3: peterpoop has it done

My Top Four: boost, air/fuel, oil pressure and water temp. then oil temp, then volts (I like to see electrical problems from the cabin when they do happen).
