Under $2500 Tubo Kit Update
Well the manifold is done, the turbo is mounted & I was fabricating the downpipe & was wondering the following:
option 1: 2.5" dp that connects directly to the factory exhaust. option 2: 2.5" dp that does not connect to the factory exhaust I am assuming that the person who buys this kit will change the factory exhaust, but who knows. What do you guys think? |

Who said Yaris was slow?
|
investing $2.5k and keeping the oem exhaust is kind of absurd.

Yeah, lets spend more money.... connect to a custom exhaust.

+1 to the previous posts, anyone spending 2500 for the kit can spend an extra 200 or so for exhaust if its not already done IMO

yes, but it should come with a downpipe, those are hard to come by locally with high quality.
2.5" ? What about 2.25" -- what is the best size for the lower boost we'll be running. I am not going to risk blowing my motor, so I won't be running 10+ pounds on Yaris internals.

How bout some dyno charts of both? If you seriously think people would want to hook a turbo to stock exhaust, why not do the due diligence and show the results both ways? I'm seriously curious, as I'm almost the biggest doubter that a turbo kit on a Yaris is worthwhile...I'd love to see charts that show me that money spent on power on this car isn't wasted...

that would be good, but that would also require two downpipes just to test the difference.
Jdium, you may end up being right ("it's not worth it"), but it's going to be a LOT of fun finding out!

so make 2 downpipes and test and see what happens. it takes a lot of r&d to put a good product on the streets... expensive but necessary! |

hey cdydjded how are you planing on runing the oil lines? i was looking under the hatch yesterday and it seems like is gonna be a bit of an issue with the dual-piece oil pan. i gotta drop the pan tomorrow and see what it looks like to be able to fab a inlet port.
also since you are doing a topmount, what about the return line? how are you planing or routing those? |

I wouldnt want to be caught in the middle, its not much of a difference compared to the overall price, so why stop mid way, do it all at once, and only once. Thats how I see it.

alright coming from the turbo pt cruiser, one of the first mods i did was to upgrade the downpipe to a larger opening, with highflow cat... ( I will look for the company who makes these, his peices are awsome, and come in 3 grade levels..)
he offered the option on the downpipe weather it connected to stock exhaust or a size of your choosing... he also offered extra bungs for wideband sensors, o2 sensors etc... you can start with the (lets call it ) stage 1 kit, which is just the turbo upgrade stage 2 kit, turbo, downpipe cat upgrade stege 3 turbo and custom exhaust
