Want to build costom turbo kit. Need advice from boosted guys!

[xbgod]

Wish I was home to wash my car. My kids skyped me and showed me how they wrote wash me on it.

Lookin good bro...keep it shinny.

OUCH! I always cringe when someone does that as it can cause telltale scratches...love the kids and mine do it sometimes, but for the most part I have them trained not to do it...they get the glare of death if I catch them...lol

[xbgod]

Yeah, thank god my parents own a collision shop where I can use the paint booth for free.

Gotta love those kids, they love the track

I have mentioned I have been runing lean without tuning. So today I ordered my AEM FIC so I can get some tuning done. Also I removed my spark plugs and checked the tops of my pistons with my Bora-scope to see if any pitting or melting had ocured. And I can say my pistons are looking good. If anyone is wondering what a Bora-scope is, Its a small fiber optic flexable strand with a adjustable lens that lets U get a eye on the combustion chamber. It also has a light on the end. Its a tool I dont use often but its great when U need it.
Also took a pic of spark plugs. They are a little white from runing lean but I've seen worse.

Also has anyone used swoosh gauges? They seem like a resonable priced gauge compared to Defi with many of the same features. They also use a stepper motor for acuracy.
If anyone has used them please let me know how they worked out?

[Parmas]

Man that Bora Scope is awesome and a good general utility not just for cars :)

I wonder how much would it be?

[xbgod]

Plugs don't look that bad. At least their not orange like mine turn from race fuel.

Bore-Scope good investment along with a compression gauge and dial calipers.

Don't go cheap on your gauges, you'll just need to replace them. Autometer is a great priced gauge and people their are easy to deal with. Defi is also geat but I think over priced for what you get. You may even look at PLX gauges they make a sick comp-u-link system.

Good hunting

I got my FIC today and spent every daylight hour working on installation. It wasnt to bad. The hard part was finding correct wiring diagrams in the service manual. I have the manual on cd rom and I also used the online version posted on this sight. http://www.etimago.com/yaris/repairmanual/
I got crank, cam, tps, mass air sensors and fuel injectors hooked up. Also power and ground wiring. Tomarrow I will hook up my wide band and a switch to do data logging. It came with a super fast bypass connector to check your work when your done. The unit was much small then I thought and should be easy to hide under dash. And as a bonus there was a hole in the firewall next to the ECM with a rubber plug. So it was easy to run my wiring into the engine compartment. I will post more tomarrow on how the tuning is going. I am going to figure this this out. Failure is not a option!

[pimp my yaris]

The last two pictures show how many wires were actually used for my car, [those were under hood] and how many were not used [hanging under dash].
Its not because I'm lazy. This thing was designed to work with any car. Their is wiring for hall effect sensors and magnetic sensors. Only the mag. were used. Their is also several options like a rpm activated programable switch. And the ability the use and manipulate the factory O2 sensor. I am using a wideband.

Wait, so how many wires total for our cars?

I am still debating whether or not to pony up the $499 boomslang wants for a pre-wired FIC harness.

You know what would be FRIGGIN sweet? A little guide on which wire goes where. IF you don't mind, of course:D

[Nexus1155]

Yeah I would like someone to make a nice little excel wiring chart that would be neat-o. But if you are going to get an FIC and the Boomslang and drop around $850 on it and probably more on getting it tuned, you might as well try the DEZOD setup for a little bit more and have an easier time tuning it yourself with more capability?

Bingo. This thing isn't hard to wire up at all.

I have a guide for this, I just haven't posted it up yet. Also need to wire up my cam and crank wires still.

EDIT: Here's a quick excerpt of wiring:
FIC Power (IGN PWR) - A21-1 or A21-2
FIC Gnd (PWR GND) (SIG GND)- C20-104
Injector 1 (INJ 1 IN/OUT)- C20-108
Injector 2 (INJ 2 IN/OUT) - C20-107
Injector 3 (INJ 3 IN/OUT)- C20-106
Injector 4 (INJ 4 IN/OUT)- C20-105
MAF (MAF IN +/OUT +)- C20-118
TPS (TPS+)– C20-115
Cam+ (CAM1 MAGI+/MAGO+) - C20-99
Cam- (CAM2 MAGI-/MAGO-)- C20-121
Crank+ (CRK MAGI+/MAGO+)- C20-122
Crank- (CRK MAGI-/MAGO-)- C20-121

ECM pinout: http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/pr...risControl.pdf

Then, of course, some wires are tap while others are intercept. The guide I wrote AND the FIC manual details how they should be attached. It's cake tbh. No reason to spend $500 unless you're deathly scared of doing wiring, at which point I wonder how you have the balls to install a supercharger but not make a couple splices.

Not hard for you. lol

Without some clear cut pin-outs of which wires I need from the ECU it might be a little difficult for me

EDIT: Ahh. I see you have a guide on the way. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

What's wrong with stock plugs?

Well, when you are boosted you need colder plugs so that there will be less chance of detonation if my reading is right.

Most here run the NGK BRK7EIX which is heat range 7. Stock is 5, IIRC. So two steps colder.

I got the denso's becasue they are supposed to be a little better quality and at Amazon they were the same price as the NGK's.

Be advised that Denso has there own heat range system, so IK22 - heat range 22 which = heat range 7.

Denso makes TRD plugs to there specs based off the IK22 so that is why I went with the IK22's. HEck they might be the same as the $50 per plug TRD's. lol

With these pics. Its about all U need for a install guide

Start a new thread to be stickied with the full guide, whenever you post it.

THANKS!

Oh, and I guess it is time for you to get tuned and see what that little supercharger can do! HA!

[sleey0]

Depends.

The boomslang will be last resort. If someone does make a nice cheat sheet I will gladly wire it or have a buddy do it, if possible.

If not, I might just say f-it and get the slang. They do sell an extender harness for $399. This might make more sense so I can save my cars wiring from cutting and also I can wire the fic into it in the comfort of my living room and recliner:D

Besides, dezod wants $2k for it and that I don't have. Not sure I want a stand-alone anyway.
