Turbo Tips and Engine Quips?

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

OK soo i just spent every wakeing min reading damn near everything about turbo kits on this website especially The Pimp my yaris one and a pack of cigs later and a full page of notes i have come out of this enlightend( sorry it took so long between the Girl,Work,and Sleep not much time to research)... it seems i might have jumped the gun at the start but im back on track now. AND TO ALL READING THIS SHAKEING YOUR HEADS.. my bad guys. ALRIGHTTY THEN REDEMPTION TIME! Sorry Garm goin the ebay route i got a full kit for under 800$ GOODBYE PAYCHECK 1!

(lets hope My spring is actually 7).. damn ebay

Now After this Is AEM FIC and i am still debateing running a stand alone or a PnP im leaning more to the PnP with less work but more $$.New injectors and pump are apparently a MUST so im either going to have to buy new or going junking or ebaying to find used. (2 weeks later) GOODBYE PAYCHECK 2!

Then just figure out piping intercooler to throttle body.A buddy of mine works at a nice lil tuner shop in town that can hook me up with a downpipe custom exhaust, and dice and build a intake (4 Weeks Later) GOODBYE PAYCHECK 3 and maybe 4.

Now would be time to try and solve heat problems with wrap,blankets, heat Sheild and paint treatment. Also thought maybe a new hood with air flow would help

Its also been said Oil line placement is critical SO read that for a few hours and even popped under my car for a good look and were to place. Not to mention inspection of the restrictor on arrival as to try to avoid pimps problem.

Also run my clutch till she gives but order a stage 3 ASAP
She already had a minor facelift with 17 in rims, Led Tails, and Halo Fronts, on 2 in lowering springs and tint. Shes already blacked out but now she will look mean and run mean

After all is said and done and accounting for hicups i figure ill be in or below the 2 g range
Which means saveing for a complete engine rebuild for when i need to replace clutch. Shouldent be any harder then rebuilding my 79 Bmws engine and that boys and girls was a bitch if i ever met one... REDEMPTION??? i think yess but i amy be wrong... Guys?

I think you're on the right track. And big props to you for taking the heat, coming back with a plan, and not getting all hissy about it.

1. NO need for a pump at 7psi.
2. Might not need injectors, but they are good to have on hand. $100 used for a set of 'rolla ones.
3. And yeah, no downpipe in that kit. You'll have to make one.
4. exhaust manifold gasket, don't re-use
5. blowoff valve could be crap -- tread carefully.
6. turbo... well, you take your chances there - might last a good long while, might fail soon. Be prepared.
7. " solve heat problems with wrap,blankets, heat Sheild and paint treatment. Also thought maybe a new hood with air flow would help" - YES

I hope Micro Image gets to sell you something along the way, but regardless, do it right and enjoy your project!

Talked to a couple tuner buddys that have integs and a 240 and their questioning my need for a fic? when apparently according to them i can get a stand alone ecu and get 2 maps one for raceing and one economy at the tuner garage and get a full tune and completely forget the aem fic? Ur thoughts? Oh and garm did a lil peeking on the website might order some things after all.

[cali yaris]

Ability to switch maps is awesome, that's how I do it. 14 psi and 24 psi = "economy and racing". LOL

meanwhile.... which standalone are they recommending exactly?

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

They didnt actually say he said he would look around. Do you got any recommendations? ? And id i do go this route fic isnt needed?

[Focus_Sh1ft]

Standalone - minimum 2k for the unit, 1k+ for the harness and labor, 1k+ for tuning.

Piggyback - $320 + $400ish for tuning.

Obviously a standalone would be better, but they're in two completely different price leagues. For low boost and a stock engine you only need a piggyback.

Also - I hope you're really good buds with those guys at the shop. You're probably going to be spending a decent amount of cash on fabrication. Getting the piping right and making a downpipe are costs you have to consider.

Oh and one last thing: do yourself a favor and don't go larger than a stage 2 clutch. Even with a turbo, that clutch will still be overkill on a Yaris. Having a heavy clutch can really suck big if you drive in any traffic whatsoever.

The Clutchmaster stage three kevlar is a breeze, the pedal is soft and engages pretty high up. Some days I around 6 hours in bumper to bumper Los Angeles traffic...no problem with fatigue.

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

Lol im staying out of this one fellas. What piggyback would u suggest?

[cali yaris]

And id i do go this route fic isnt needed?

This is correct, you only need one management unit controlling the motor.

I think you need to ask more questions at the shop, I can't help much more without that.

1. Which management do they like to tune with? (*critical!)
2. How will the wiring be done?
3. What is the management going to control, exactly (just fuel, fuel/timing, or more)?

At 7psi you don't need a lot of features a standalone will offer, so I am suspicious of someone recommending it just for the two maps. Just saying, until I know better.

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

I figure if my turbo gos out i can always get just the zage turbo its self and run that. GARM! that raceing ECU IN THE STORE!... OH SWEET BABY JESUS i want that thing... till i saw the price and my heart sank! My buddys didnt know what they were talking about and said i could get a cheap standalone for 400 and then just splice it all to hell until it worked... yeah not going that route. ill skip the standalone until i decided i want to rebuild her. SO ebay fic..((sorry buddy theirs was only 340 but...)+ M.I. BOOMSLANG = happy yaris. So on pimps custom build i saw he mentioned haveing a greddy emanage as well as an fic tho it was never really talked about. AM i going to need a e manage as well? and how dose that effect the boomslang? LOL step one turbo completed, step 2 electronics (in progress)...

[cali yaris]

People must not read my sig file. "We Price Match!" -- even against eBay and even when the sellers cheat and sell under MAP.
I can't ALWAYS do it, but I like the chance to try. /rant

back to the question...

engine > ECU > PnP harness > aftermarket management (FI/C or eManage or CamCon)
You can only have ONE of the last thing. Understand?

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

Yes thank you! and i just figured store to store price match. if u want to match it ill pm you the link, and u tell me.

[cali yaris]

Yes please.

[malibuguy]

Why do i see this not ending well

[cali yaris]

Either way, it's ending with an FIC that came from us!

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

Hahahaha relax Malibu! Whats the worst that could happen? Btw garm im recently come into more hours at work so forget the custom. Zage it is! Boomslang Too!

[cali yaris]

Woot!

[GnarGnar-YarYar]

OK BOYS TURBO CAME TODAY! sorry garmy push came to shove i went ebay but ur aem and boomslang are my fav peices if it helps haha the new grill being the crown jewel.tried to put my lowering springs in and god damn thats a bitch.
