I am starting to put together a turbo kit for the Yaris, most of it will end up just being bits and ends here and there. Number one thing in mind is keeping costs below $2500 for an Intercooled setup.

My goals:
Cost at or just above $2500
No engine management
6PSI
Intercooled
Power goal: 160whp

Should be obtainable reasonably.
Step 1 was finding a turbo manifold for the car, so I started rooting around and found 2 options. Turbotoyotas.com manifold, then this sucker.

Its a cast iron piece, set for a T25/GT28 Turbo. OEM fitment. Only issue, its a Scion Xb/Xa Manifold.

Any suggestions?

If you are interested in using a GT28 Turbo I have the turbo mainfold that came with the engine. The only reason I custom made another mainfold was because it was designed to fit left hand drive yaris. The mainfold was custom made by Jess from Turbine Tech for the echo of turboecho2005.

And btw guys don't ruin other's thread by flaming each other here

good luck hitting 160whp at 6psi with no engine management ;)

Well im not worried if I dont hit it, its just a benchmark that I want to hit...I am not saying that engine management wont be down the road. It wont be on the car when its first put together...just added as a later upgrade for more HP.

The point is to have somewhere to start before deciding to upgrade

expect about 130whp

but i'll applaud you if you DO hit the ##

for the money, why not buy the HKS kit?

I also saying this now, to clear it up. I am not intending to make monster HP with this car, I will leave that for my next car that I aquire.

My intentions are to make this car a bit faster than what it is. Sporty-ecnobox if you must...Kinda an oxymoron tho.

HKS has a kit available for the US? or are you making reference to the Xb kit?

so, $2500 will buy you a kit that you can use 90% of, and sell off what you don't end up using.

sounds like a better plan to me than piecing together something that you'll STILL have to have a custom downpipe made for

i'm referring to the xB HKS kit.

[Sabretooth]

Ya the XB kit I am finding is a bit different
Even then...its only $2600, not bad for that idea that you can get rid of what you dont use and make some extra cash on it.

[Sabretooth]

Find it cheaper than what I did, and you get a star sticker!

In my opinion here persons should suggest their opinion but they have to let others do what the person thinks is the best for them and their motor.
I don't know much about boosted motors with no ic but in this case I suggest at least a top mount ic like one of the pics attached.

The mainfold is going for $400 which within days will be inputted on ebay so if any of you is interested feel free to contact.

that's not the xB kit.

that's the RSX kit.

the HKS site has the RSX kit listed as the "stock photo" for bolt on turbo kits. Lots of places use the wrong photo. (lazy, don't care).
