Turbo Tips and Engine Quips?

[cali yaris]

I think you're on the right track. And big props to you for taking the heat, coming back with a plan, and not getting all hissy about it.

1. NO need for a pump at 7psi.
2. Might not need injectors, but they are good to have on hand. $100 used for a set of 'rolla ones.
3. And yeah, no downpipe in that kit. You'll have to make one.
4. exhaust manifold gasket, don't re-use
5. blowoff valve could be crap -- tread carefully.
6. turbo... well, you take your chances there - might last a good long while, might fail soon. Be prepared.
7. " solve heat problems with wrap,blankets, heat Sheild and paint treatment. Also thought maybe a new hood with air flow would help" - YES

I hope Micro Image gets to sell you something along the way, but regardless, do it right and enjoy your project!

Talked to a couple tuner buddys that have integs and a 240 and their questioning my need for a fic? when apparently according to them i can get a stand alone ecu and get 2 maps one for raceing and one economy at the tuner garage and get a full tune and completely forget the aem fic? Ur thoughts? Oh and garm did a lil peeking on the website might order some things after all.

[cali yaris]

Ability to switch maps is awesome, that's how I do it. 14 psi and 24 psi = "economy and racing". LOL

meanwhile.... which standalone are they recommending exactly?

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

They didnt actually say he said he would look around. Do you got any recommendations? ? And id i do go this route fic isnt needed?

Standalone - minimum 2k for the unit, 1k+ for the harness and labor, 1k+ for tuning.

Piggyback - $320 + $400ish for tuning.

Obviously a standalone would be better, but they're in two completely different price leagues. For low boost and a stock engine you only need a piggyback.

Also - I hope you're really good buds with those guys at the shop. You're probably going to be spending a decent amount of cash on fabrication. Getting the piping right and making a downpipe are costs you have to consider.

Oh and one last thing: do yourself a favor and don't go larger than a stage 2 clutch. Even with a turbo, that clutch will still be overkill on a Yaris. Having a heavy clutch can really suck big if you drive in any traffic whatsoever.

The Clutchmaster stage three kevlar is a breeze, the pedal is soft and engages pretty high up. Some days I around 6 hours in bumper to bumper Los Angeles traffic...no problem with fatigue.

Lol im staying out of this one fellas. What piggyback would u suggest?

[cali yaris]

This is correct, you only need one management unit controlling the motor.

I think you need to ask more questions at the shop, I can't help much more without that.

1. Which management do they like to tune with? (*critical!)
2. How will the wiring be done?
3. What is the management going to control, exactly (just fuel, fuel/timing, or more)?

At 7psi you don't need a lot of features a standalone will offer, so I am suspicious of someone recommending it just for the two maps. Just saying, until I know better.

Laugh all u want say what you gotta say im a 18 year old makeing a lil under 1000 a month i need help, i need advice, and i need awsners asap. And yes you did cali and i appreciated all of it.

Dude Im 18 too. Personally I would go with the Zage kit from MI (which im planning on doing) because Ive seen a lot of ebay kits go but at the same time I have seen them also work out. Im glad your listening to Garm and I give you props on trying that kit. I wanna see how this works out so remember keep us updated and good luck

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

I figure if my turbo gos out i can always get just the zage turbo its self and run that. GARM! that raceing ECU IN THE STORE!... OH SWEET BABY JESUS i want that thing... till i saw the price and my heart sank! My buddys didnt know what they were talking about and said i could get a cheap standalone for 400 and then just splice it all to hell until it worked... yeah not going that route. ill skip the standalone until i decided i want to rebuild her. SO ebay fic..((sorry buddy theirs was only 340 but...)+ M.I. BOOMSLANG = happy yaris. So on pimps custom build i saw he mentioned haveing a greddy emanage as well as an fic tho it was never really talked about. AM i going to need a e manage as well? and how dose that effect the boomslang? LOL step one turbo completed, step 2 electronics (in progress)...

[cali yaris]

People must not read my sig file. "We Price Match!" -- even against eBay and even when the sellers cheat and sell under MAP.
I can't ALWAYS do it, but I like the chance to try. /rant

back to the question...

engine > ECU > PnP harness > aftermarket management (FI/C or eManage or CamCon)
You can only have ONE of the last thing. Understand?

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

Yes thank you! and i just figured store to store price match. if u want to match it ill pm you the link, and u tell me.

[cali yaris]

Yes please.

[malibuguy]

Why do i see this not ending well

[cali yaris]

Either way, it's ending with an FIC that came from us!

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

Hahahaha relax Malibu! Whats the worst that could happen? Btw garm im recently come into more hours at work so forget the custom. Zage it is! Boomslang Too!

[cali yaris]

Woot!

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

OK BOYS TURBO CAME TODAY! sorry garmy push came to shove i went ebay but ur aem and boomslang are my fav peices if it helps haha the new grill being the crown jewel.tried to put my lowering springs in and god damn thats a bitch. I couldent even finish them it started raining when i realized id have to take the vent system off afterbreaking 3 alan wrenches and jerry rigging a system to get top nut off.
