There is a shop near me that will custom build a turbo kit for the xB if there is enough interest. I am good friends with these people and they are willing to invest the time to fab something. They are very reputable and know exactly what they are doing. If interested please send me a PM. Keep in mind that it has not been made yet but could be with enough interest.

 

What are their plans for the fuel management which seems to be the Achilles heel of all the FI endeavors so far?

 

no sure yet. We have only started this in the last day or two and we want to know what kind of demand there is for it. at the end of the week I will write down any and all questions and ask the tec.

 

let me tell you the demand is high. the only problem is there has been a turbo kit around for some time now. they never put it into production as the fuel management has to be worked out. with the stock fuel and 6-8lbs of boost, the motor lasted 6 months daily driven until a rod snapped. basically the internals have to be built to hold the boost

 

for some reason i keep hearing horror storys about people bending rods and stuff, why doesnt someone just come out with new ones already

 

what kit was it and what fuel management was used do you know?

 

It's not the strength of the rods, it's the offset angle of the crank. It aids in economy, but doesn't work well with boost. They designed the motor to run as is...

 

Why can't someone come up with an ITB setup? Push the 1.5 to the NA max.

Before everyone asks, ITB= Individual Throttle Body

 

Exactly the 15 degree offset puts the wrist pin in an awkwards position/angle and can fail under boost.

 

so that would be an even cheaper fix then buying all new rods? there has to be something to correct this

 

Basically, I'd like to know how they would handle the fuel management, new higher flowing injectors, rods, and what psi they plan on running. We all know the engine can't handle anything above 7 psi max.

 

"Ya know what, I got one of dem idears. Yeah, its my idear and no one elses. "

Is that Paul Sr?

</jack>

 

YES! You will never know how many people have been contacting me trying to figure that out. Nice idear, eh?

 

The car can live in boost over 7lbs. The problem is, the static C/R + boost pressure makes a completely absurd final corrected C/R... it's FAR too high w/o removing timing or adding some sort of knock suppression.

The rod/piston setup aren't very forgiving when it comes to knock.

 

for those that have questions please PM Me and I will get answers for you. BTW: Im 99% sure fuel management will be e-manage

 

I added 2 extra injectors with management for those. Booster pump inline.

 

Yuck. I scrapped my auxilary injectors a WHILE ago.

 

So what are you doing now?

 

Fuel: Walbro 255LPH intank, return line, 310cc Celica GT-S injectors, 1:1 RRFPR, GReddy emanage w/support tool/injector harness/ignition harness.

Turbo: Left over TSI kit piping modified to fit correctly, front mount from TSI kit, Precison GT28R, custom stainless manifold.

Engine: TBA...

Drivetrain: Stock tranny/axles, SPEC Stage 3 clutch.

Any more questions ?

Anyone want to buy my Garrett T20 and cast manifold?

 

I got tons of questions.

1st: what is the stock injectors, and are the GT-S injectors drop in?
2nd: why using a 1:1 RRFPR? I though most honda type are something in the ball park of 12:1, or 8:1?
3rd: Are you running the injectors straight off the E-manage?
4th: How was the TSI kit? have any picturse of this kit installed?
5th: Who did your custom SS manifold? have pictures of this?
6: Are you building your block? If so, got any tips on what to look for, or where to source parts so I don't need to custom order all the parts, or is everything custom made? Like Cunning rods, Arias pistons?
7: Got any #'s for the TSI kit? How well does this kit rank up? It's relitivaly cheap, and looks to be a decent bargain. Does this kit fit a bean (xa)?

Got pics of the cast manifold and Garrett T20?
