GT17 too small? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Brad D · 06-07-2009, 04:42 PM

keep in mind the samller the turbo the more low end power.. the more low end power the more TQ.. more TQ = more cylinder pressure. We have had a few stock B18 hondas at 370wtq and any thing more than that and the cylinder splits. So you can still have the same HP with a bigger turbo but with less TQ..

I would go with a GT25.. or a GT28 if you ever want higher power goals.

also keep in mind, smaller turbo = hotter charge air :)

my VF39 came into full boost before 3800rpm and made around 5lbs at 3000

perfect IMO

you'd think with several threads asking about a small turbo/no ic/no fuel mang there would be tons of FI yaris' - gl to you when you get yours turbo'd

this makes thread # 33 right?

Morgan, sorry I can't recall but are you using the blitz fuel controller?

yeah, just whatever came in the xa kit, aka "magic black box"

really I'm thinking it just extends the injector pulse, but I have no idea what its actually doing

Brad D · 06-07-2009, 04:59 PM

I dont think i would ever do a turbo setup with no piggy back ( even though I hate them) these days you can get a AEM FIC for only a few hundred.. and if it saves your motor its well worth it IMO.

Sorry about the repost

Has anyone accomplished this yet, besides garm? I won't even start on it for a while

I'm just planning ahead.

Yeah I guess I could have looked at the people with the custom turbo on the boosted list. Oh well, in my defense, I was only asking if the GT17 was too small.

Well in that case, I'm sure I should be fine with 10psi on stock fuel management, right?...kidding of course

I'd like to see a small turbo, simple set up done on a yaris and I honestly hope it works out for you which ever turbo you choose but I just want to see it done not just discussed. Seems to be a general consensus that it could be done but then again in theory the xa/xb transmission should work too

- it sucks to be the first one to jump in and get it done, but at least you'd know exactly how/why it did or didnt work

Tamago · 06-07-2009, 05:21 PM

it is :D

Nope, not going to argue with an armchair expert with respect to the 1NZ-FE. I have other stuff to do today.

I've never recommended jumping into a turbo project without being clear on the risks to your motor and your wallet. You haven't read many of my posts if that is what you think.

The Spectacle · 06-07-2009, 06:09 PM

You guys talk about having experience with the 1nz-fe like its some kind of technical marvel. Its a 100hp motor for god sakes.
