Well, I got the Ceramic Chromed pieces back. I was unable to get the 2 pieces in Blue because it was a 2 week wait on the line. So I will do that locally down the road Powder Coat. In the mean time, I had them do everything CermaKrome - good to 1800 deg. What do you all think? One thing I need to find is the pin key on the back housing of the turbo must have come out. Now I need to find one or make one. :tap: Edit - Thanks to Kenny...don't need it. :clap:

Holy mother of blangin exhaust housings. I'll be interested to see how that stuff looks after it gets good and hot. Be sure to whipe it all down good before you start it up the first time. Get all the oil and stuff off of it.

My brother had his Charger headers (yea, he has 2 of them :rofl: ) done by this company a year ago and he said the same thing. Wipe it down and keep it clean and it will not change colors.

Very nice, how much did all that cost?

$250 for inside and out except turbo housing outside only. Cuts engine bay heat by 50%....so they say

B...E....A...utiful

Thanks guys...they did a great job. I need sun glasses to look at this stuff. :rofl:

needs more installed pics.........slacker

I know, I know...I've had it here for 2 hours and it's still not installed. :lalala: :rofl:

SEXY :love:

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Maybe you should stop staring at it as if it was Hallie, Pamela, and Carmen naked. And get the darn thing installed. It's not a mantle piece.

Yes Siiiirrr! That's what it would have to take in order for me to get my mind off of getting a ZPI turbo (well....maybe just Hallie, but you get the point).

My daughter just called...someone tipped her off of the pictures. :tap: :rofl: I told her I would need the car for the night and if something went wrong, maybe tomorrow for parts (02 sensor...stupid stuff maybe).

So, I'm off to get the mobile one 10w30 for the oil change and head home to start the install. Pics all the way guys.

:nails: can't wait. The suspense is killing me.

hurry up and install it.

sciondad you have one of the cleanist engines i have seen on a scion to date... cant wait to see the installed pictures.

Sweet indeed:):) I plan to have our system coated as well, even more so with these great tempting pics, lol!

Rick

so shiny!!

install that ____ already!

needs more installed pics.........slacker
The shoe is on the other foot now, you better get on that install before Kenny starts bagging on you for taking to long. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It does look sweet, congrats on the good job. :clap:

do you have pics installed?

Guess you're going to need that second day Hmmmm?

Well, ran into a few problems I have been fighting. On the auto...the tranny cooling lines run in the way of the down pipe....had to pull them back to finish that part. They are touching the pipe, so I will have to buy some braided line tomorrow and just re-run them. It will look better anyway.

My DC strut bar gets in the way to the throttle body with the pipe.. But, if you remove some of the pipe, then the engine cover won't fit right....so, I'm not sure what I'm going to do there.

Oh the oil pan. :rofl: That bad boy is something else to remove.

All in all it would take about 4 to 5 hours max to install. I had the sweet fun of removing the K&N CAI - tire off, etc.

I have many pics which I will post tomorrow (today)...but here is one for now. I need sleep :rofl:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/kirchwrk/P9160115.jpg

yea...the oil pan is a freaking beast!! we took a rubber hammer to it and went berserk on it. after a few good beatings it came off.....nice looking kit man. glad the zpi turbo kits are spreading now. i went out to bennigans tonight and had people surrounding my car and suprized with the numbers. i heard so many times that its a nice looking kit and all kinds of compliments. anyways nice looking kit and g'luck tomorrow.

nice. I have a question if anyone knows if there is a torque converter out for the auto tc? How much and also what else do I need to get if I want the 300hp turbo in my auto.

looks awesome..hurry...hurry!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Thanks guys.

This install is really straight forward to do. The auto tranny lines brought me to a dead stop. So, I unbolted them from the mounting on the block and pushed them out of the way (after trying for an hour a dozen different ways to install). However, they are laying up against the dump pipe, so I'm in the process of finding the tranny side thread to get stainless steel lines. If anyone knows what thread size this is. let me know. :bow: It's the 2 lines on the bottom right (drivers) side.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/kirchwrk/P9150114.jpg

The throttle body pipe was the next challenge. If you have a strut bar....the pipe won't work. Well, since I'm not loosing that, I cut about 2 1/2 inches off the pipe and it fits fine. Now the engine cover won't fit. :doh: So, I will have to dremel off about an inch of that to allow for the pipe. I may just cut up the stock one if a different pipe layout will work down the road and save my carbom fiber. Got too late to figure that out.

Other than that guys, not bad at all. Kenny and ZPI is the best customer service I have ever seen. He gave me his cell and called him about 3 or 4 times.

The oil pan is just the craziest thing I ever seen. OMG. Best bet is to just drive a screw driver in from the passenger side and beat the crap out of it. It will go. :rofl:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/kirchwrk/P9150113.jpg

lol sounds like fun.

let me know if you find out what size fittings are on the transmission. i'm also looking to get a trans cooler :)

Good job man, I see several Best In Show Awards comming your way in the near future.

I appriciate the install info as well. I guess I should go ahead an purchase a rubber mallet and chisel (lol) for the oil pan... to get ready for mine.

I just peed on myself!

Great job! It is looking great!!!

Guess you're going to need that second day Hmmmm?

Guess you're going to need another day, maybe the whole weekend?

Na guys, I'm finished. Took about another 2 hours to braid the lines, fix the carbon fiber engine cover and clock it....Then out driving it around....listening for any issues. All seems perfect at this point. Keep checking for any oil leaks or loosened up parts. All in all....certainly is a DIY job. 1 person can do it in 6 hours easy. I ran into issues with the auto lines and I'm particular about how things look.

This thing spools so dang fast it's sweet. Oh, and the BOV with the waste gate :rofl: Not the most quite car on the road for sure under WOT. :rofl:

I will also say it has improved the exhaust sound 100%. No boost take off and crusin...much deeper sound.

Then my daughter gets home from work at 9:30 and asks to take it out. Now I was crusin around for about a 1/2 hour. She brings it back at 10:30 and the dang CEL was on. She said it sounded like it backfired a few times. Off of full boost I suppose :tap: She just loves the BOV

I checked everything and all looked ok. I cleared the CEL and drove it for about a 1/2 hour on and off boost and no CEL and I didn't hear any backfire.

She asked me how to make it woosh at idle. As Kenny told me...no load no boost no woosh.

More pics tomorrow guys and I'll video some drive by's (in a parking lot). SOmeone just needs to tell my who can host them.

20 MB limit but http://media.supload.com is where I put mine.

nah man e-mail me the video and i'll host it without some ____ ad-ridden page

hadesannodomini@gmail.com

...I checked everything and all looked ok. I cleared the CEL and drove it for about a 1/2 hour on and off boost and no CEL and I didn't hear any backfire. How did you clear the Check Engine Light or is the ECU sensor still in its learning stage...?

I bought a obd2 scanner so I could clear the cel's as well as monitor the car's vitals. one of the best buys for sure.

ScionDad, i can hose the videos for you, if need be.

I've only had the tC for a few months so I'm not sure if there are any other ways, but the simplest is to just disconnect the battery for a while. That'll clear the CEL for ya (as well as reset many other ecu settings.) Sciondad, you didn't have the code read, correct? You think it was just a backfire?

It could have been a cylinder misfire. I got those a lot with my civic when I went to colder plugs on the turbo setup.

Same here on the Lex. Some people upgraded their ignition, but mine didn't happen often at all

any more pics? it looks awesome by the way

we need videos now!

ScionDad, i can hose the videos for you, if need be.

Living in MN, that is a hilarious typo :rofl:

I was thinking about getting the Stage 0 turbo for my tC... My only question is, what all do I need for it. My tc is auto and I was wondering what all I need besides the turbo. Like gauges or anything? I can't just have them throw a turbo in.... Kind of a noob to turbos :P

transmission cooler, boost gauge, amd id get oil pressure just to be safe... egt to check if you are too lean too

a/f gauge for a/f ratios.... egt would be nice in addition.

Sorry for the delay guys....my daughter worked all weekend and kept the car and I left the camera at work Friday when I left to finish up :doh: . We are going to the track this Friday night for a car show and drag race at Gateway International and she wants to run it. So, we will be able to video tape her runs.

Everything is running great on the car. No troubles at all and it performs and sounds outstanding. The support from ZPI was fantastic..... :bow:

I did blow out the wastegate gasket, so per Kenny (he said they are pretty cheap), I used hi temp gasket maker and seems to be holding great.

I explained to my daughter that she can't be at WOT and just let off the gas as it will cause the backfire from the fuel....so in the interest of saving the cat converter, don't do that. I will get more pics this evening for everyone since I got my camera today at work.

Thanks for the kind words. We hope that we made the install as easy as possible. We are glad that it performs as well you expected it to. .

Although we are a littke skeptical that you even have installed it as we have yet to hear a kill story or see a video?????

:doh:

Glad you like and again thanks for the support...

Well, I think she killed a cat on her way home from work last night....does that count? :rofl: j/k

Thank you for a sweet product. It is everything you guys promised. WOT while getting on the highway is pure fun. By 3rd gear in the auto the pull is fantastic. You have to let off during 3rd because 4th gear is a for sure ticket gear.

Yea. I think the problem is when you have it wide open and just let off, the fuel correction can't respond to it fast enough from full boost and the unspent fuel gets dumped...hits the cat and bang. Not doing that, she hasen't heard any more so that appears to be the issue.

ohhhhh i can't wait for my auto tC-t :)

ohhhhh i can't wait for my auto tC-t :)

Matty, with the head your working...you will love this turbo. Boost is crazy fast from a rolling punch. Launch from a dead stop is no different, but once boost is there, it stays :rofl:

Seriously, 3 guys came by yesterday at different times...and she was at work all day. I'm like WTF? One more fart can in my driveway I'm spreadin nails. :rofl:

Yah that is basically it. When I am running without a CAT on the MR2 it will throw flames after WOT runs after 3rd just from the sheer amount of fuel and pig rich AFRs between gears. It could be leaner it sounds, as could my MR2, but as I figure an exhaust or cat is a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to replace/repair then a blown engine.

And SD, that is a phat install man!

Thanks. Yes, a new cat is much cheaper than replacing a solid hunk of aluminum engine block. :rofl: At this time, I'm not runnin an IC with the stage 0 yet. I did see a stage one that didn't hang out like that anymore from ZPI. So, that would probably be the way I go if I can't find a smaller one.

methanol injection....................I will put it on your tab

stay sleeper and get some methanol :)

or A2WIC

What about manual cars. You gotta let off the gas to shift gears. Will that cause the backfiring/CEL codes?

you would be better off asking that in the ZPI thread. this is specifically about sciondad's :)

methanol injection....................I will put it on your tab

I do want to stay sleeper if I can. What HP will the Methanol add?

chart showed over 400lb/ft of torque!!

chart showed over 400lb/ft of torque!!

:shock: Maybe water then :rofl:

that was at higher boost with a different turbo :wink:

that was at higher boost with a different turbo :wink:

Ah, that sounds better. I thought I heard Kenny say at one time it was a boost of about 40 whp. That might not be bad. I'm just a little concerned with the stock auto pushing over 300 whp. Maybe he was talkin alcohol

well it basically allows you to not pull timing and boost safer (less chance of detonation)... the cooler charge does add power though

hell, add the methanol and crank the boost :)

so can I look under the hood too?

A few more pics of the finished product (aside from some cosmetic hose). I ended up using a dremel for the carbon fiber cover....I think it looks original. :nails:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/kirchwrk/P9190117.jpg

Wow how much did you have to trim from the cover? and do you have a close up of it. I think I'm gonna have to loose my strut bar that way i won't have to cut my cover up :nails: .

lookin good, very clean engine

is your oil cap off? :)

Wow how much did you have to trim from the cover? and do you have a close up of it. I think I'm gonna have to loose my strut bar that way i won't have to cut my cover up :nails: .

Here is a close up. I only removed about 1 inch angled up to the non-touching point.

And passenger side

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/kirchwrk/P9190119.jpg

where did you mount your light tube? and how long is it? 10"?

where did you mount your light tube? and how long is it? 10"?

There are 3 of them. I mounted the 12" right on the plastic of the radiator shroud. Been there 6 months...spring summer. No problems. The other 2 are mounted right up under the qtr panel lip and those are 5 inch I believe. I got them from a sponsor on here scionspecialistvegas.

You said you had to trim the pipe also correct. How much of that was cut off?

You said you had to trim the pipe also correct. How much of that was cut off?

The pipe I ended up removing about 1.5 to 2 inches. Right now it's about 3/4" below the strut bar. I wanted to keep the strut bar more than the engine cover. One is bling the other is bling and function.

I can attest to Methanol and water injection being great to use with a turbo. I was able to run 13PSI on my Matrix 1ZZ becuase of it with no issues whatsoever.

Originally I had the Aquamist basic system but it would continue to dump water into the charge pipe when the throttle was closed and when back on the gas I could generate some huge backfires, fun:)

I then went with a D2 system that was metered along with fuel delivery and the car ran better overall as well as fixed the big backfire issues.

Another problem the car had at 12-13PSI was losing spark and cutting out above 5,500 RPM, we installed some colder plugs but did not help much so I tried some copper plugs, I forget if one or two steps colder and it never missed a beat after that.

Platinum plugs may of worked as well but the Platinums just did not seem able to keep up.

From what I have seen here you guys are still running Platinums, correct?

Rick

Stock plugs are iridiums

I know, I went through several Iridium heat ranges with the same issues. Dyno operator told me the boost was blowing out the spark and I needed to try copper plugs;)

True or not as to what was happening, the plugs definately fixed it:)

Rick

note to f.i. newbs: coppers are better for boost but need to be changed more

Scion DAD we are coming to the race this weekend....we are coming 4 boosted tC strong get us some races....Look forward to meeting you guys.

1 question how long did it take to wrap every hose in the engine bay?

note to f.i. newbs: coppers are better for boost but need to be changed more

That's odd. High boost Supras like iridium plugs. Maybe it's their 1960s combustion chamber technology (no, I'm not joking).

I had to change my plugs out for some cold iridium's too on the Lex w/ boost. Stock ones were iridiums too though, just not as cold

Scion DAD we are coming to the race this weekend....we are coming 4 boosted tC strong get us some races....Look forward to meeting you guys.

That sounds awsome. OMG, you guys are gonna have some fun with the Honda peeps. :rofl: I know none of them around here have seen a turbo TC and certainly nothing like yours. This is the last of the Midnight Madness weekends, so it will be loaded with lots of runners.

I use those hose kits. I remove the old hose, slide the wrap over, pull tight and tape each end and hose clamp back on. Some of them have the couplers. Pretty much the time is removing the hoses.

all the na->fi converts i've been around have been using -2 copper plugs with good luck.

i think the supras being fi from the factory have something to do with it

Make sure you guys get some vid's man. I'm loving your engine bay SD.

:shock: What, not my daughter. :rofl: Thanks guys. Going to the track tomorrow night (praying for rain to not show up) and video. :pray:

I finally got the oil pressure gauge and oil temp hooked up tonight. Nice intstall with the oil filter block tap. Kinda nice to see whats going on. Wish I had it on there before turbo to see what was normal to what it's doing now with the turbo. Any NA guys have these for reference?

Where did you mount the gauges? I'm still torchured on my gauge install. I'm ready to just drill them in to the piller ricer style... very frustrated right now.

BTW, thank you for all the nice words you have posted about my install. Your install is amazing and I can't wait to see the track video.

My oil temp peaks at about 223 degrees and the oil pressure is at 16-20 at idle when the car is warmed up.

Thanks Munch. SO far, the oil temp peaks about that temp which is good to know. The oil pressure however does make it down to 10 some times but usually sits about 15 to 20 PSI.

Thanks Munch. SO far, the oil temp peaks about that temp which is good to know. The oil pressure however does make it down to 10 some times but usually sits about 15 to 20 PSI.
That's about right. Every car is gonna be alittle different .

pics of the a pillar please! although im not a big fan of the a pillar gage idea, it seems the only option right now with tC's so i'd like to see pics installed, other than on creativecompact.com's site.

I like the pillar gauge.

I just wish it had 4 holes instead of 3

Yea, One more would have done the trick for sure.

:shock: What, not my daughter. :rofl: Thanks guys. Going to the track tomorrow night (praying for rain to not show up) and video. :pray:

When you have been driving the car around for a while especially under hard boost and come to a stop and idle for a while are you burning off extra oil at all?? On my xB when I would stop after running for a while, i would start to burn oil off the turbo and out the exhaust. I had to put a restrictor to the turbo oil feed line and a gauge off the filter block just to regulate the oil psi to the turbo to keep it from smoking at idle. Too much oil to the turbo and you will blow out your seals. This is very common on the T20 and T25 turbo, just was wondering if you were getting the same from the 16G...I believe turbos like to see around 30 psi, anything more than that is just gonna do long term damage.

No, haven't noticed any smoking at all. But I will certainly keep an eye out for that. Thanks for the heads up.

No prob...its a simple solution if you do run into the problem, lemme know, I might even have an extra restrictor lying around but you would just hafta go and buy a cheap gauge to monitor the psi going to the turbo.

any vid's from last night? :nails:

Oil pressure feeding a turbo is not biggest problem as to why people blow the seals. A lot of time when you add a resistor or they use small hole fittings this actually increase the oil pressure it just lowers the volume. The key is to mate it with the right size return line.

Most people use a small oil return line and the oil can not drain quick enough. It is pressure coming in a gravity taking it out. IF you use a -4 line feeding it you need to use a -10 to drain if you use this you will never have a problem of over oiling the turbo

what brand gagues are in that pillar?? and where are the vids from the track?? thats all I was looking forward today at work was to watch the tc whoop on some cars at the track

They kind of look like stewart warner gauges

Nope they are Nordskog Street Series Digital Gauges

No, we got there a little late (daughter on time? :rofl: ). She watched a few cars run and decided she didn't want to do it. She was concerned she would look funny in her little TC with all those muscle cars. Everyone was trying to talk her into it, but she said nope. Then we left shortly after that as the drunk rednecks were making comments about throwing bottles and keying the imports (about 60 Scions) all lined up.

So, Saturday morning my brother called her and told her he would take her over there this Wednesday to the Test and Tune runs and show her how to do it and make some timed runs. They are set to go and I'll video. One way or another, we will get some vids

Some people are hilarious... "Lets go bash us some imports".. "yeah, good idea jo bob", then we can drive home in my "American" car (filled with Japanese parts), watch the game on my Sony tv and talk about why some guy filled del-ray full o lead just for throwing the beer bottle" :rofl:

very nice lets see it installed :bow: :clap:

Yea, I was a little concerned when I seen 4 drunk guys swinging a key chain full of keys as they were walking from Scion to Scion going in between them.

Go and check the first couple pages of the thead...there is plent of pics

I think those types of people were exactly what the makers of the .40 had in mind :P

jk...... but a good @$$ kicking would probably do them some good! It will really pi$$ them off when a boosted 4-banger eats thier lunch for them on the track!

gages look good, excited to see her at the track.....the car that is...any pics of your daughter?? just kididng :P

The V8 owners where just upset they heard the tC would run low 14's and the 5.0 was in trouble of losing. Then they found out it was drove by a girl? I would be mad to if I got 8mpg and got rolled up at the track by a SKYon

I love it...now that's funny. I will say I'm very impressed with the pull this car now has. You guys delivered aces :bow:

Yea, the blue gauges look sweet. I liked how they turned out.

As for my daughter, yup, she is a cutie and very intelligent. She also has a Black Belt in TKD and Purple in Sambo.....I'll just say she has very little patience for being pushed around like a girl. I'm 6' 185lbs and she gives me a run for my money in full contact sparring. I laugh (much later) sometimes when she acts all girlie like I hurt her, then a foot upside my face and taunts me as my nose bleeds. :tap:

She is the one in the middle. Funny, when she won best of show, the ladies announcing the winner saw her step up....they started cheering and chanting "Chicks Rule". Then she wanted to know where the guy models were. :doh:

hahaha

sounds like you and your daughter do alot together thats cool

sciondad, will you adopt me? LOL!

Eligible bachelor / Scion owner here... :lalala:

damn i always thought that WAS you LOL

I would love to be your future son in law :P I was gonna say, I make a lot of money selling Scions and I can get you a discount on your parts. :lalala:

All kidding aside, you have a beautiful daughter, watch out for the shady guys, well hell she can beat their a$$es anyway on her own :rofl:

damn i always thought that WAS you LOL

Well, for what it's worth - if I could rock a hot red fro like that - I probably would. 8)

holy jesus!! i visited st. louis twice already this year and i think i must again!! what do you say? family dinner and a movie and we'll exchange stage 0 stories! :love:

Yup, I'm just a little more aggressive than she is. I've trained in 3 disciplines since 1990. I could get very little time for temp insanity :rofl:

Not to get off topic, but if I'm ever in the MO area, I will no who to contact when I feel like getting a little sparring session. 11 year Martial Arts practioner here. I will spar with anybody.

No problem, shoot me a pm if you're heading up sometime. Access to just about any format equipment you prefer.

Cool. I have gear though. A set of Jeet Kune Do gloves and some century footpads. I don't use anything else to spar with. Headgear makes me sweat more than what I already do....lol.

PS...where is that dog-gonit vid?

yea Sciondad...hows the car running the past couple days?? You bogging down at all while @ WOT or full boost?? Do you have a OBD II scanner w/ diagnostics to check your fuel trim??

Sciondad.. ummm I'm going to say this as nice as possible. Your daughter is F'in Bueatiful :love: Umm I'm 20, I'll have a 06'scion with a turbo paid for in full =) and I have a 2 year tour in Iraq under my belt ( trying to show my acomplishments :rofl: ) can I marry her :bow: :pray: On the other note, hows the turbo running? Would you recommend an Intercooler ? I'm asking because I have a month left till I get to come home :eyebrow: and I ordered the Car recently, should be there for me, the turbo should also be at my doorstep befor I get home, and well I won't have an intercooler setup for at least a month after that since I'll get a performance shop to build it.

Well, I will start by saying thanks for your service in our military. :clap: It is truely appreciated. :bow:

Her boyfriend might have an issue with the marriage proposal, but I wouldn't be shocked it's not the first time that's happened :rofl:

Right now, I don't have an intercooler on the stage 0. Not because I don't want one (it would cool things down a bit), but because I can't find a stealth one. I don't want to see the pipes and paint the thing black. That is an excellent idea to have a shop fab a FMIC for ya, might be the route I have to take.

leg humpers.. lol

great setup!! Just really really really wanna see a vid! and question? how much wear and tear do you think the stage 0 kit will put on the car? will it really affect the longevity of the motor or car itself?

... oh and where did you get your engine sleeve kit form? do you have a link by anychance?

videos stat!

... oh and where did you get your engine sleeve kit form? do you have a link by anychance?

No link, but I just bought the kit from one of the local auto parts stores. AutoZone I believe.

The FMIC I have will mount upside down without too much trouble, but you would need to get all other piping custom bent and it would be 100% stealth. ZPI did PoizenTC's FMIC like that.

where the vid??
just bored at work need something to watch over and over

sciondad,

that tc is literally the sexiest thing i have ever seen.

very nice... congrats.

any vids yet?
