Want to build costom turbo kit. Need advice from boosted guys! - Page 26 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shinare · 11-03-2011, 09:57 AM

is it cheaper to buy a new lump than beef up a stock one? I mean, if you blow up your engine, whats the loss? A few hundred dollars? hehe

cali yaris · 11-03-2011, 11:25 AM

^ If you throw too much boost at it, it could blow up VERY fast -- it's a hassle to swap engines often, unless you have a crew.

Further, you can build a motor to handle boost better than stock e.g., lower compression pistons.

Completely stock, I have been driving it hard. I dont think I will raise the boost without a rebuild.

Shinare · 11-03-2011, 05:50 PM

What I've gatherd among boosted guys around here that 6-8 psi is a good range for stock daily drivers. Enough "oompf" for fun yet not too hard on the engine. Is that a good conclusion?

Took the weeeee Yari down to Miami for a week. Pulled my trailer with my motorcycle and did some riding around south beach and keys. I am glad to say I did not have any problems. The car ran great. I brought many tools and my lap top for emergency retuning if needed. I did not touch any of that. The turbo got a hell of a work out over the mountains. I did need to have a much quiter muffler welded on in Florida before the ride home. My cherry bomb style muffler just about drove me insane on the drive down. I was wearing ear plugs and still got a massive headache. I think I will pull the intake tube off and check those bearings soon. I was never able to drive with the trailer over mountains with the cruise control on before. It maintained 75mph or more all day. Sounded like diesel truck too. Awsome

I love the work the shop did that Carlos sent me to and they were great for customer service.

pimp my yaris · 12-16-2011, 07:43 PM

Thanks for the offer. I already had a 2.25" Trush turbo muffler welded on. It was some discount muffler place. They charged me 90$ and did a great job. I was able to drive home without loosing my mind.

wildcard · 12-16-2011, 08:26 PM

Please for the love of god get that poor bike some better tires than those shinko's.

pimp my yaris · 02-02-2012, 08:34 AM

10 psi still going. Just wanted to post some pice of my blow off recirc. setup. Not the best looking but it works great. Also in the turbo pics. U can see the brace I put on to support the weight of the turbo. It drops down from the bottom of the down pipe.

yaris2010RS · 02-04-2012, 10:42 PM

it took me about 3.5 hours but i finally read and completly understood just about everything. lol

Great write up and great help/advice from others. i will hopefully be starting my install in about 2 weeks and this thread made things alot clearer.

pimp my yaris · 02-05-2012, 10:08 PM

Its all worth it. It will make your car a blast to drive. I always get a thumbs up from the turbo neon guys and Subie wrx owners. Its so much fun smoking those turbo coopers.

yaris2010RS · 02-05-2012, 10:24 PM

where did u hook up your bov vacume line to?

pimp my yaris · 02-10-2012, 08:13 AM

I put a vaccume T off the evap. purge solinoid. The line attaches on the intake near the throttle body.

You are ready, young padawan....

pimp my yaris · 03-22-2012, 08:22 AM

Made A big move yesterday and cranked up the turbo to 12psi. Hade to make a competely new map for my FIC. Old map was only good to 10psi. Its was running VERY STRONG for about an hour of very hard driving. Then I noticed the AFR's were getting a little lean. I will do some retuning if possible. I may need more fuel system upgrades at this power level. Possibly new rail with a return line or even lager injectors? The good news is I am no longer using that jimmy rigged pull spring on my wastegate as my boost controller.

Bluevitz-rs · 03-22-2012, 08:44 AM

Boy you're getting brave. Do you have a spare motor just in case?
