Apexing Egg!!

honestly, i dont see why you guys are doing superchargers and turbo kits. its a little K car, its not going to be fast in a straight line, but it can be a fun little car. bolt on some sticky tires and nice suspension, and its like a fwd miata; light, fun to drive and cheap.

Its can be made into an under 2000 lb car with a built engine and a turbo you can be sure as hell it will be fast in a straight line...
Ok we can't argue over whose supercharger or turbo charger is better, they all have their advantages/disadvantages. Supercharger Ease of install colder air charge if turbo is run without intercooler no oil/coolant lines but has parasitic loss from the engine and consumes power before it even makes power. Turbo easy to install if you have all of the piping/parts boost can be adjusted at will damn oil/coolant lines need an intercooler takes energy from exhaust and recycles it :P But honestly if you had a turbo kit vs. a supercharger kit and all the parts laid out and ready to slap on there without doing any work to the car. I would take the turbo kit, but this is A's and B's since this car isn't going past a certain amount of power without some major work done. And also if you were going to want power with upgraded internals on a SC kit, you would have an eaton right now... But if i just wanted it for fun spirited daily driving i would pick the Blitz supercharger kit that Garm has... They both have their fair share of reliability issues where pulley slips or shreds belts on the SC or the, well you know i haven't really seen a turbo get messed up from itself, someone chime in if they can think of something Last edited by Nexus1155; 04-25-2009 at 09:39 AM. |

Hey i agree too.
Recently had my yaris lowered on TRD springs and new alloys and tires fitted. Once finished, hoping to write to Banzai. Maybe they could do something about the Yaris scene.

I seriously wish we could get back on topic and THREAD specific.
There's fast drivers and fast cars. This thread is obviously for fast drivers. All the S.C./T.C. comments need to stay away. Yes, we all know that the car can be made "faster" in a straight line. Enough to be as fast as a stock corolla. Or a stock scion. Or a stock,xxx. You see where i'm going with this? If you wanted to build a fast straight line car, for the price of what you threw down, you coulda had a matrix xrs,corolla xrs, etc. And since you're not doing any real racing, still have your warranty. B/C i know many who modify here won't blame the parts when something breaks, they will want toyota to pay for their mistakes. You gotta pay to play, bottom line. |

Those who heavily track their turbocharged cars need to let it cool down before shutting the power off, be it oil or water cooled. I have seen some nasty nasty mishaps. |

ps: I got the kit for much cheaper than you listed. Shhh.. Don't tell anyone. K i'm done back to the topic. But yah, seriously, let's be honest....not many people besides garm or tamago are crazy enough to fab their own turbo kits for this engine (besides people out of states). People want a foolproof kit, tuned,proven, and ready to be plug and play. Heck, that's why I got the blitz. Before the yaris, I would think that most of the blitz owners have no experience with boosted engines (myself), and this was a fun alternative way of getting some extra power. And when there is such limited supply of kits out there, for the blitz, it's supply and demand. That's all......... :) |

You could source the same turbo, manifold, BOV, piggyback and wastegate used on my kit for around $1250.

let's also keep in mind, garm is not fabbing his own turbo kit. he's paying someone to do it for him..

I wonder if someone could just make and sell piping for a kit and let people source their own stuff? The biggest challenge about it right now is getting the kit piped and flanged right and all that crap.
Yes, I'll post the f'n map eventually. |

You forgot to mention intercooler. But everything you mentioned there ended with "used." eww. And I definately would not use the emanage blue, but i follow ya. i COULD have, but wouldn't. You COULD have, but you wouldn't have either. You got the used kit. Just putting things into perspective.. |

Its the only thing that we know of ATM that works short of a standalone. Yes, I would have bought it.
The E-manage blue may end up being the solution anyway. I called my tuner today, once the money tree grows a few more leaves I'm going to see what we can do. |
