Beefing Up my Yaris

[RacerFreakXXX]

found a decent deal on a turbo manifold for our car for only $250:

Still considering Zage Kit because of the down pipe and piping.

That's a dollar more than I charge, and I include shipping.

Price drop? last time I looked it was about $440 for your manifold.

I´ve never seen such a poorly engineered manifold before. I mean serious ... exhaust gas from 1 and 4 collides, 2 and 3 are blowing against a "wall". The guy who made this thing only took care of the space he needs to mount the turbo and nothing more.

You've never seen a log manifold before?

the one shown is pretty much the same as I have, the system seems to be just fine with it. My tC also uses this design.

an equal-length design would be great, but I'm blowing 24 psi at this design and it works.

I don't doubt it works but i think it is far from optimal when it comes to exhaust gas flow. So in my opinion space is the only reason for this kind of manifold. Maybe i am wrong.

o0o, I just noticed the price drop (I have limited internet at work, lol)... are planning to make your kit with piping Garm?

for what? a front mount? a top mount?

[RacerFreakXXX]

front mount, pshhh... I don't want no top mount

you've never ceased to prove my point about you

[RacerFreakXXX]

ehhh... whatever, I'll do what I want

... I edited my horrible spelling, lol

[Tamago]

enjoy your pointless turbo lag

[PETERPOOP]

lol

[rob323]

bah! just run antilag if you want real throttle response .

You really think there will be enough turbo lag on a GT2554R turbo front mount to make a difference? These turbo's are at max boost at 2.5-3k and spool up to 7-8k, which I assume you know. Plenty of people run these turbo's and I never read/hear about turbo lag being an issue. Also, if you didn't know: turbo lag is the time it takes for the turbo to overcome its rotational inertia or basically spool up. .IMO 2.5-3k isn't bad and if I'm doing under 3k I'm probably not trying to go fast

^ I didn't have any lag at all with the GT25. very nimble and quick, and I have a front mount.

That's only a small part of it, the other part of the "lag" which Tamago is referring to is the time it takes to re-pressurise the intake system from when you lift off and the bov releases any pressure in the system. this is the "lag" that is most noticable. The smaller the turbo, the longer it takes to re-pressurise everything. That is why they invented antilag, it keeps the turbo spooling while off the throttle and keeps the intake pressurised.

Lol... This is exactly what I mean. If I was running huge piping and exhaust I could see turbo lag being a problem. Also I'm not trying to build a race car, just a daily driver with a bit more pep. Yes, if I could afford a RSX-S I would buy one, but I can't. Turbo Yaris is actually a perfect dd car for me and I'd rather have a toyota :D
