I'm serosuly considering this and don't mind cutting some of the metal tray as long as it still works. Just wondering if you used any management unit when using this, and if you needed new injectors?... If not what AFR did it run.

oh, and any CEL light/limp ever?

I know im asking questions that might not relate to the yaris, but hey...

I know im asking questions that might not relate to the yaris, but hey...

with my inexperienced tuning abilities, and running JUST a MAF translator (tricks the ECU into providing more fuel) i got probably 7 codes on a weekly basis..

i was running tC injectors, they were about 60% duty cycle at WOT, full boost and high rpm (so plenty of fuel)

AFR's were between 12:1 and 11.1:1 depending on air temperature.

remember, THIS IS NOT A SHINY BOLT ON KIT!!!!! i made this kit out of left over downpipes, exhaust systems from at least 3 different cars (Subaru forrester downpipe, Mitsubishi Evo turboback, and piping from a toyota tundra)

the welds are not pretty (but are strong) and the uppipe is NOT optimized for power. my previous plan was to build an equal length manifold to replace the cast piece+uppipe but i realized that all that work would go to waste, because no one would want to pay $$ for a manifold that put the turbo smack dab into the wiper tray lol.

Nexus1155 · 03-04-2009, 10:04 AM

can you tell me what codes you got?

I mean it might not be pretty, but it worked right? thats all that really matters... did you get any knock at all with this kit, im assuming the intercooler prevented it...

no knocking, stock ECU pulled plenty of timing (and when ihad the AEM installed, i had some timing pulled as well)

the codes i pulled with the MAF translator

system too rich
secondary o2 codes (no cat)

cali yaris · 03-04-2009, 11:25 AM

no cats = PO420
too rich = PO702? (or close to that I recall)

Same exact ones I got with my untuned turbo system!

Can't see the mani in your pic -- post a couple more? I think you can sell that thing.

it's a RevHard cast piece. solid as a rock, but probably not the best-flowing thing on earth.

and thx on the compliments. coming from you it means a lot (you like pretty shiney things, this is neither

)

can it be opened a bit with a little snip snip and cut cut or is it not worth it?

well, i made 155hp as-is.. so if it's worth it to you to make more power at the same PSI, then i say yeah it's worth it.

the cast piece would of course benefit from a good port/polish job

KCALB SIRAY · 03-04-2009, 11:52 AM

I just posted about it to new member that was looking to boost with the Zage kit and referred him/her to you instead if you want to get rid of it. We'll see.

Doc Zaius · 03-04-2009, 12:10 PM

Wow... that *is* ghetto-fabulous! Awesome bit of ingenuity there... I'm sure it's a blast to drive!

very much so!

and yes, it is!

Russelt3hPirate · 03-04-2009, 12:21 PM

it's pretty functional! and in my eyes that is a win!

the intercooler piping/placement is a huge win.

surprised you didn't try and test mount it in russell (charge pipes anyway) while he was at the shop.

i'd want to test fit the entire setup really..

probably use RealEnth's if he'll let me
