I guess that is one of the good things from turbotoyotas original design.

hehe, re-reading your post. The TurboToyotas kit I bought did not come with piping, but because of the intercooler configuration, it was kind of obvious what routing would be optimum.

In this newer version, the piping is all increased in size, and the filter is now at the top, instead of near the ground (that was NOT a good design the first time!)

Parmas · 03-24-2009, 12:41 AM

That intercooler is a good route you went to although it is not suitable for me since the turbo is facing in the opposite direction!

Do you have any pics of the back engine were the turbo is situated etc...?

cali yaris · 03-24-2009, 01:19 AM

no pics back there, but I will take some soon.

They aren't rated for pressure, they are rated for LPH (liters/hour), and the horsepower they are capable of producing.

What is your Walbro's flow rated at?

Nevermind. I just saw...255 lph.

UPDATES 3/29

Now we have an xB pedal, which means the throttle-by-cable challenge is solved.

xB pedal > xB cable > xB throttle body > xB intake manifold.

FIREWALL PASS-THROUGH

XB THROTTLE BODY

Does that xb manifold bolt right up without modification?

at3GG · 03-29-2009, 04:58 PM

oh my my my.....it hurts to wait!

cali yaris · 03-29-2009, 05:07 PM

tell me about it! ...should be nearing the home stretch now!

at3GG · 03-29-2009, 05:34 PM

its killing me just to have to wait for pictures/videos. It must be hell on you Garm!

jkuchta · 03-29-2009, 08:06 PM

Lookin' really good Garm! This thing is going to be a real sleeper!

m911gt · 03-29-2009, 10:45 PM

bolts right up, but i don't believe it clears everything in the bay without modification.

cali yaris · 03-29-2009, 11:03 PM

Bolts right up and clears everything just fine. look at post 163.
m911gt, maybe you are referring to the exhaust mani?
We have way more room up front than the xB does; their motor is forward about 3-4"

[ added two more pics of cable set up ]

White Yaris · 03-29-2009, 11:57 PM

so exciting to watch this thread. Keep going...

at3GG · 03-30-2009, 04:19 PM

whats the benefit of the xb manifold anyway? Better flow or something else?

cali yaris · 03-30-2009, 04:42 PM

The manifold allowed us to bolt on the xB throttle body. Easiest way to convert to cable.

Will do a custom mani + larger TB later.

I would assume because of the angle of the TB it made routing for intercooler piping a little bit easier as well
