fnkngrv's turbo installation - Toyota Yaris Forums

fnkngrv · 03-13-2011, 01:19 AM

Well if all goes as planned my kit will be installed in April. If I can get really lucky I will also be picking up my Bslang harness by then as well. If anyone is interested they can check out my blog for my progress so far.

Before anyone asks I am not sure when I will be putting the car on the dyno yet since nearby options are limited. Once I have it installed I will have comparison videos however when it is complete.

cool!

Is the exhaust manifold piping inset into the flange, or welded to a flat surface?

fnkngrv · 03-13-2011, 12:13 PM

Gonna have to look closer that that to be honest. When I took the pics last night I really just put out all the parts to be sure there was no damage from the USPS because there was 3 holes/tears in the box.

Welded to a flat surface. Why?

Turbo installed. It was an awesome weekend with cdydjded and a buddy. Great fun, great work, great food, great company, and great power finally. I will have pics and video to post in the following week. I just ordered my wideband kit and am scheduled for a dyno run/tune the beginning of next week.

Killer...can't wait to see a vid.

If you don't mind, what'd this whole thing end up costing you?

fnkngrv · 06-15-2011, 01:36 PM

^ I will give a synopsis after I dyno next week along with a parts list.

We need to have an AL meet some time, I'd like to drag yours against mine just to see the difference :P

Are you running FI now?

You need to update your blog with fresh picts!

fnkngrv · 06-16-2011, 10:21 AM

Here is the install pics. I just recently opened up my account with flickr since I can actually get to the site from work. There are 99 pics so my blog will only reference the link to the set as well. I uploaded last evening and have not had the opportunity to place photo descriptors yet.

Cool! Nice work. I think this is the first time I've seen the MAF used downstream of the turbo. I'm curious to know if it's any different.

That's Carlos's kit. Looks like he is finally selling them now. Always loved the clean look of it.

Yup...it is very pleasant to the eye. I have had a couple people actually look under my hood since the install and had no clue other than the pipe over the engine cover. Also with how the front bumper goes "straight" down and with where the intercooler mounted you can't even really tell I am boosted from the front. The quiet exhaust lends to being stock as well.
