GT17 too small?

if i ever see you in person i will hand you a stale old cookie =P
that is the actual line from the scene, but i was refering to the "motivational" version "i find your lack of faith disturbing"

who apparently is oblivious to the amount of engineering that goes into a modern engine. Especially no credit is given to the software and computer engineering advances that allow these engines to act and adapt in such a versatile fashion.

and the fact that it makes some of the best hp/lb of ANY engine in any car in the world.

I do not know what is the big deal when someone wants to do "something out of the norm" or not buying some "kit",of course it would work with no intercooler and an after market piggy back or ecu. Just do bigger injectors.I have seen people here do that with Hyundais Brio and Mitsubishis mirages they even get pipes done cheap at a mufflershop. Doesn't look pretty all but it works. For a low boost aplication it will be just fine. budget turbo the butt dyno is happy and so is the wallet.

Now I've heard it all.

Has anyone ever told you that you know nothing about cars? or is that a first too!

Let me put my .02 cents on this one, can you run a turbo kit without any management? absolutely, its been done with the Yaris & 100's of other cars, is it safe? well that depends, shit does happens it can last forever or it can last 5 minutes, would a boosted Yaris run better & be safer with management, again absolutely, what I think the problem here is that to many people are venturing into things that they do not understand, if you have no experience in modifying your car my opinion is to take it to a pro, if you want to learn by doing & willing to take a chance by all means go for it.

[cdydjded]

Before I forget, can we get a sticky about the fuel system, I seen the suggestion on a fuel pressure regulator 1 to many times, its a returnless system you cant use a FPR unless you convert to a return system

[cdydjded]

To the OP, where did you get GT17? Garrett's small turbos are :
GT12, GT15, GT20 & GT22
Is it another brand? Garm used a GT25R I believe with good results. Be careful on small turbo's, some use weird flanges that are not common, so be ready to have them custom made which is no big deal but you have to find someone that can make them for you

if i were to do it again, i'd trade engine management for a good solid water/meth injection setup. (on low boost)

Yeah after reading more on here (special thanks to Morgan for actually doing it), I probably would too. May still get around to it.

worth every single penny! good for cooling and reduces knock, what could be better? HIGHLY recommended, especially if you don't end up using a piggy back or some type of other engine management!

(yes, you could probably tune it out if you can advance your timing, but I can't so instead I use it as a safety feature not for performance)

One of the advantages of standalone management is that you can switch between multiple MAPS...

So you can have th everyday map for regular gas, then a Meth map and finally the all out race gas map.

The Meth map comes pretty handy when you want to have some fun and don't have some VP handy... or if you don't want to pay the race gas price.



240-250whp for every day driving on regular gas
260-270whp on meth
300+whp on race gas

It's a Garrett. Comes off a Saab 9-3 and are pretty easy to come by.

[cali yaris]

we can slap in a small turbo and run it without major problems with the 1NZFE?

No one said that. There is a risk involved with any major engine modification, including this. What I said is that at least two of us have run turbos and not blown our motors. That is all the data there is -- so choose CAREFULLY before you jump in.

yeah, through your butt


Just kidding


Is not that simple. It depends on the turbo you use and your set up. So there is no way to say x amount of HP per psi.

You could said though that for any given set up the car puts out xamount of HP for psi. That would be true within a psi range.

IE:

If Garm's old set up made 180hp at 8psi and lets say the base power was 100hp, then you can said his turbo made 10hp per psi. You can also assume that the same set up at 10psi would put out 200hp.

As the PSI goes up and you start going out of the effeciency area or the turbo, the numbers will change (decrease)...
