Yoda's Turbo Log

[ilikerice]

I have no issues with piggybacks, in fact I would rather go piggyback. I used Emanage blue on my crx for years and I like it because I know it. But I also don't want to have to reset my ecu every friday. I heard people say their ECU is auto-correcting the maps on piggybacks.

He obviously clarified that you can use a piggyback and there is nothing wrong with that, you just gotta do a bit more fooling the ecu than a standalone.

But honestly, the yaris hasn't been pushing me towards turbo as of late. I find myself wanting something a bit more, maybe go back to my crx, ek hatch and have been pondering building a turbo MKI mr2, I got a 4ag sitting in my garage right now.

Ecu autocorrects just because of oxigen sensors along exhaust pipe line.
Sensors are good spies. Only they make their holy job.
U throw them away U don't mind them anymore.
That's what I've done.
Then U put to emanage numbers U need and engine goes what U want.
AFR Gauge is needed.
God bless all of Us.

Been gone for a minute but the project is back on. Had to use my fiances to help my family out and such. Engine is undergoing rebuild right now. Trying to decide if i should get it sleeved or not. I wont be pushing more than 300whp and I remember Blown Xa doing a few runs on that power level no problem. Also going to need a new manifold cause the ones I have don't suit the larger turbo well (no room).

50,000 miles so far on factory sleeves, no excessive blow-by indicating cylinder distortion. Haven't done a leakdown test in a while, but the last one was good.
