Scubaru Steve · 07-29-2011, 11:56 AM

anyone see this kit in person or even running it?
im a big fan of the top mounted turbo, and thinking this may be the next step for us. gt25 probably. flow more than the tiny tiny greddy, mayby a 28rs but dont know if thats gonna be to big.

whatcha think?

I run a GT28, and you give up quite a bit of low end power -- takes a lot longer to spool than a GT25, even with the smaller A/R choice. At least 600-1000 rpm.

I would run a GT25 to 200 whp or so.

^^^This i am at 210 whp @ 10 psi. If you gonna build your engine up then go bigger.

The OBX parts are designed for an xB. It will not fit correctly on a Yaris with modifications. And the more I look @ it I think you will have an issue of the turbo hitting the block. Notice that the flange the turbo bolts on to it is in an angle.

i understand its for an xb, i have the greddy turbo kit for the xb, both this and my kit the turbo sits up top (top mount) by the valve cover not the block.

Yea and OBX stuff used to be TERRIBLE, they sold everything through ebay back in the day and it was garbage. I am not sure if their quality is improved or not, but I wouldn't risk it.

Just realized that it is a top mount. That even less likely to fit. The Yaris has less space than an xB. A part of the Yaris's engine is under the cowl. An xB doesnt have that issue. Also I know for a fact that the down pipe wont work. When I first made a mock up of my turbokit it was top mount, trust me when I tell you, its not going to work.

i too agree that the engine bay in a yaris is tight. but this is an echo and the engine bay is close to the size of an xb if not the same, the greddy turbo dp fit with no issues at all, why would this be that much different?

we have alot of space to work with, and if the wiper tray needs to be trimmed im sure we an figure that out.

cali yaris · 07-30-2011, 12:07 PM

the cb and echo motors are mounted closer to the radiator than the yaris, I think this is the point about how much of it sits under the cowl in back.

Only one way to settle it, right? Buy it.

raja_kerbau · 08-07-2011, 03:47 PM

can i get suggest, where is best turbocharger for use in 1NZ-FE with quicker spooling maybe in 2500 rpm, and journal bearing or ball bearing type?

i have choice brand garret GT1548 - 466755-3 or GT2554R - 471171-3?

because i not have a downpipe and exhaust manifold to.

i confused....

maybe i want to make custom turbo....

Yoda · 08-07-2011, 03:56 PM

get the zage kit

raja_kerbau · 08-07-2011, 04:34 PM

I am not sure with Zage kit long life.... for that's reason i trust to make it custom...

cali yaris · 08-07-2011, 08:56 PM

You want the 2554R. We sell a good mani, you can make a down pipe.

raja_kerbau · 08-09-2011, 03:56 AM

when 2554R start spooling can start from 2500? and do you have downpipe to?

Scubaru Steve · 09-02-2011, 08:40 PM

so the kit arrived, and all i have to say is i am impressed with the quality. it seems to be very good quality.

now to find a gt2554r at a reasonable price. trying to stay away from the ebay brand turbo's, but i guess we will see whats out there.

Bluevitz-rs · 09-06-2011, 12:29 PM

have you considered one of newer style variable vane turbos, or do they need fancy computer control to work?

What company is making them now?

Bluevitz-rs · 09-07-2011, 01:52 PM

I know Honda has one on their RDX SUV. And I'm sure ford is using them on the Eco-boost engines.
