Yoda's Turbo Log

[Yoda]

All this is on my floor right now about 1.5K worth of stuff.
Kings Performance is putting my engine together as i gather all the other small parts i need. Its getting pretty costly at this point

[cali yaris]

^ yeah, that sorta just happens.

[packetrace]

Are you going to weld piping together ?

[Yoda]

Naw not really needed for the way I will have it setup. Just a can of hairspray will do lol.

[packetrace]

Ahahah what color ?

[Yoda]

Ok so there is a problem. The shop in Miami whoever they used to do my engine fucked up. All the clearances are off. If I put it together now it's all gonna be loose. My options are at the moment is to sleeve it for $700 or get a new block and start over. Want to bash there heads in but it's an expensive learning lesson. Thinking I might just sleeve it n have it rock solid. But money is an issues now.

Whats loose? Bearings, piston to bore clearance, ring gap some of this is fixable. If the engine is not in the car its not to late.

Then again a sleeved short block is also nice. I can tell you that will also have added expense as I am finding out. I really need a stand alone $$$$ to make the most out of my motor. My piston to bore clearance is a little loose but so far it runs great and does not burn a drop of oil :)

Have you addressed this with the shop? What did they say? Can you post pics or some other proof of the screw up, something you could share with them? etc. etc.

Please,
be so gentle and tell me why u felt desire to go standalone than piggy?
I mean I first know piggy with stock oxigen sensors cannot do much.
But they sensors replaced by wideband sensor so stock denso ecu stands only like dead link from piggy to engine.
I have emanage ultimate and vmanage:
I don't need anybody's help to map from zero new ecu but I use stock base map as given and I modify reading wideband gauge.
Want u to tell me standalone is quicker?
My piggyes work at 8 bit like denso ecu.
Where I wanna go?
Please again,
I'm not engineer but it seems to me I don't need else better than I have.
God bless u to explain me I'm mistaken.

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).

[TOLMACH]

^ Glad to hear you did not give up ))

Good luck with your new build!

Turbo is the GT28-rs up to 22 psi. Cp pistons and I beam Rods with all new head bolts.

Great stuff..
But please,
I know turbo cars, I mean engines, have oil injectors under cylinder block to cool pistons...
1nzfe miss them...
Not the danger to blow very easy at 22 psi????
Indeed I'm really interested in turbo built, main choice to compete with 2000cc.
May tell me what revs turbo spool is and what revs top end power is?
I barely mean what u can expect not dyno I'm not interested in.
Sure gt28rs 22psiu make much more than 200hp.
Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
