AnclaMotorsports Turbo Kit

[eii]

Been watching this thread for a while. its cool you've done the time to do some research with the company, sabretooth. i wanna go turbo!!!

[Sabretooth]

Well today I called the owner, to my surprise, the shop owner has been involved with tuning and building performance vehicles for about 20 years. He claims that he is in the business of building "street kits" rather than "dyno kits"

In other words, the turbo kit for the Yaris is built for a street application, they werent trying to get monster HP numbers, just have something much quicker that blows your mind when you dont realize that you got beat by what was a 90whp econobox.

Now, he made claims over the phone that the turbo setup they have is the best he could design. Including the what I think is a large turbo for the application. He made reference that a T25 or GT28 isnt what they were looking for...but not once did he mention what specific model turbo, other than it as a Garrett, and it was 'rare' to find in the US.

As for my hopes for sponsorship, shot down...they only do partial, and when I mean partial, I mean very partial sponsorships when a person buys the kit. Promotes it, they only offered a slight price drop and any tech needs at a later date.

But, the guy holds by the kit, says he was trying to build it to be reliable. He knew what the Yaris has and didnt just bolt it up and pray it didnt blow. The kit is preset for 6-ish PSI. No management, nor does the company plan to make a management system for the kit, but they did offer the service IF it was something someone was willing to pay for.

Also they knew about the Emanage setup that could be applied, he stated that they had done similar on an tC kit in the past. (Open loop/Closed loop concept)

I would say for the money, get the kit, its a great bang for the buck setup. Or at least till people start making DIY kits.

Not unless he says what turbo is included. Sorry, but I think it's lame to dance around that - it's the heart of the kit.

I also think a T3 is not the right choice for a 6 psi set up. did he justify the size at least? Why wasn't a T25 "what they were looking for"? -- Strange answer!

BUT -- I really hope someone goes for it, it's the only way we will know!

[Sabretooth]

He just wouldnt let that part go on what size of the turbo it was. IF its a T3, its a big large.

I dont understand why even a T25 inst perfect.
I questioned him about the size, and he seemed insulted that a "tuner" could have a concept that is different from his "engineering" background. He claimed that the turbo they use (nameless other than its a Garrett) is big enough.

He made it seem like I didnt know what I was talking about at times, I might not build turbo kits for a living, or owned a boosted car... But I am pretty knowledged about our car, and I have read thread after thread of boosting our car.

So I got an idea of what works fine, and whats considered overkill.
The Ancla kit seems good, but can be a bit misunderstood or misinterperated when it comes to why they are doing what they did, I cant even get a straight answer.

[cali yaris]

If you can't get a straight answer now, what kind of answer can you expect if you have a problem with it? Just saying...

[mark7337]

So there claiming u can run this untuned at about 6 psi on a auto and make about 160 hp?

[Sabretooth]

I bet they can make 160hp, almost every turbo kit produced for the Yaris has done that.

Its kinda a benchmark, but I think it should work, but just from what I know of the kit from the owner, there are ways to make this kit better. They just are unaware, or refuse to do so.

[mark7337]

so 160 on a auto untuned what type of problems would i have at 5-6 psi ?? would it more be problems with the tranny then the motor??

[cali yaris]

I think the Yaris tranny can handle that kind of power easily.

[mark7337]

damn we may see me an kyle boosting around orlando lol

[Sabretooth]

Personally I would rather piece together a kit with what I want at this point, rather than have someone tell me what I need for the car, there is plenty of people who have experience here with a boosted Yaris to get a generalized picture of what it takes to get this car to at least 150whp on 5-7 psi.

There was talk at scionlife about the tc kit and they said it looks the 'treadstone kit.'

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/view...aa40ba41ff50ba

The fact that someone said the ancla kit looks "EXACTLY" like the treadstone one is fishy. They also have no feedback on their ebay account about any of their turbo kits. The only thing I come up with ancla are links at scion life and suzuki swift forums stumbling upon their products around the same time we did, weird. No actual feedback on any of their products on google and cant really trust ebay feedback either, so bleh :'(.

[mark7337]

no my dreams of turbo are crushed lol eventually they will be r & d

[ztrack157]

Saber whats their number? I'll find out what turbo it is.
