Looking Into Turbo

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

DIDN'T YOU CRASH OR GET RID OF YOUR CAR?

[RacerFreakXXX]

Thank you guys for all the info, I appreciate it. Like I said again I've been glued to forced induction forum and I feel like garm is the only one with a turbo yaris that is actually explaining what he has done.

As for as me getting rid of my car, Well I got an 09 yaris 5speed because it was the only thing I could get approved for. I love the yaris so why not get it in 5speed this time. I love the car so much better, just needs a lot of mods to make it perfect.

What's the deal with the hks kit? From what I read you can only get it in Asia and it's like $7k, is that true? I mean if It was 4k and was meant for the yaris I would grab it next spring.

I don't have the money for the kit right now, and have other things I'm gonna do to the yaris first. However I want to find the right direction and plan everything out. I would be awesome if someone would just make a kit for the yaris. Even if it was 4k people would buy it. I'm going to continue looking into a turbo kit for the yaris, I just want to make sure it doesn't end up being something where I have to make everything from the ground up.

I wish garm would peice together a kit that includes turbo manifold, downpipe, intercooler, piping, intake, and oil pan for like 2-3k and you would just have to get the rest.

we're having a hypothetical thread with information you aren't gonna use for another almost-year

the HKS kit for the xB is well under 2600 dollars.

just buy it. you won't be spending 1400 more to make it fit a yaris, i can guarantee that.

^ possible but not probable.

[RacerFreakXXX]

well it would be pointless to start in the winter, seeing as I don't have a 2nd car at the moment and no garage to stick the car in. I'm going to be moving this spring, so I hope to get an apartment with a garage so by fall of 2010 I should be able to start a turbo build.

You really think the hks kit is better than the greddy kit?

[cali yaris]

^ yes.

[AdeJong 03]

any links or ppl on the forum who have the hks kit?

that would be super fun.. i can just imagine the possibilities now

[TheRealEnth]

if i had cash or a good income.. i woulda jumped on the kit already and made it work =)

[cali yaris]

adejong, I believe there are three people with functioning turbos in a Yaris in the country, and all three are custom set ups. And several more from overseas.

If you're in LA, you're welcome to come by my shop in Canoga Park and see mine anytime.

If for some reason things don't workout for me in the summer, I seriously will have the money by end of April. Already racked up 1160, so if i can still get the HKS kit for 2600 or less, I'm in to be the guinea pig for this kit. And like Garm has said, i would need to fine someone who can tune it right? I don't mind having someone in SoCal finding me a trust worthy tuner to do the turbo setup there. I'll do the drive and back up w/ a scooter if i have to~

Trying to post a split second tuning guide & ECM printout (pdf), which are used for a Rotrex install. This info should be helpful for a turbo install as well.

You'll need Boost & wideband air/fuel gauges, better spark plugs, and bigger fuel injectors. One problem is the speed at which the stock drive by wire throttle body opens, working on solving this issue with a magnetic actuator vs. servo motor. The install will still work with stock TB, just will not have as quick of a response. I am currently using the 1ZZ TB on my Rotrex install.

Theoretically, a turbo install could be achieved for @ $1000, if the parts are bought right.

What's the deal with pistons? I cant' seem to find anything that's specific fit to the 1nzfe, are they all custom order? Also are the gains from a supercharger (with full exhaust and intake) the same as a turbocharger running an average of 7-8psi?

[RacerFreakXXX]

so far this is what I am planning for a turbo build, and I still can't decide if it's worth it to build the internals and finding a turbo that has the exhaust facing the passenger side. Also this is just what, I've found that I am decided on. I'm going to price it down to the exact and go from there.

I would suggest that you might want to get the pistons slightly over sized, say 75.5mm rather then standard size at 75mm.

Due to wear and tear the cylinder bore might be a little worn out and hence a slightly over sized pistons will ensure the rings fit in nicely.

Best if you could get your mech to properly measure the bores to determine how much larger you need to go if you want to be really sure.

It is always better to be safe than sorry later, just my 2 cents.

By the way, I got my CP pistons from Race Engineering together with the piston rings and side skirt coating for less than USD 600. The compression ratio is 9.0 and the piston design is flat top.

good luck on the fuel rail. if you want 2AZFE injectors i'll sell my set for cheaper than 150

i'm just pricing things out right now, and going based on turbo aplication, because i want the downpipe on the passenger side so I don't have to deal with crazy intercooler and intake piping. If I have to get a custom manifold made then i will just wait till i have the money for another engine and build it up fully. Is there an issue with the fuel rail, i saw it fits on xb's and xa's?

dude, if you want the turbo inlet to be on the passenger side........... turn it around and reclock the inlet side.

oh and do a top mount intercooler.
