Jeff's DIY turbo build - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey Jeff. How are things? Any developments on your build? I haven't done much to my car lately other than taking it out into the driveway for warmups. I picked up a double flare tool and tube bender. Thinking about converting my transmission cooler hoses to steel.

I haven't drove it all winter, drove the car last week to a mechanic closeby for a vacuum test, he said no leak, and he couldn't find anything wrong within the setup, fuel pressure or anything else except for an open circuit camshaft sensor, and other minor codes...

He concluded that my turbo is most likely the culprit.
I think he's right, the turbo probably got damaged whenever my oil return tubing unplugged from the block and I drove it slowly less than a km with almost no oil since I was close to home.

Just took the turbo out yesterday and there's a loose ring, will swap it out later on today.

And I'll look into the camshaft sensor, I'll either add a 2.2k resistor or unplug it from the fic.

Update

I swapped the turbo cartridge and it was still not boosting, and it looks like the loose ring is normal as I inspected 2 other 13t cartridges and both have the gap shown in the previous post.

Finally today it occurred to me to have a look at my maf map and saw that it was all zeros, I uploaded a file I haven't ran since last August and BAM, finally have boost again!
I felt really stupid, but I guess that's part of learning, this project was getting me very frustrated....

I have the 2.2k resistor between the crank wires and disconnected the cam from the fic like 06YarisRS suggested, running z107 firmware and so far everything seems ok.

At least now I have something to play with this summer... Back to fiddling with the fic maps...
