ALL INCLUSIVE GUIDE for "What NOT to do" FI version
 

I wanted to start this thread for all the forced induced people out there or people looking to be forced induced whether for racing or daily driving. Everything here is based on experiences that many of us have had and by and large, while there are some exceptions, this will serve as a guide of things, all inclusive, NOT to do.

I'll start, everyone else can add on as they see if, I do see this potentially turning into an epic and some will be banned, warned, etc for taking part in the festivities, check our allotment of infraction points before taking part, you have been warned.

You're boosting on the TRD ECU with a T3/T4 57trim eBay turbo at 8 psi of boost, stock injectors and no other piggyback but say the TRD ECU should be good enough and your AFR is perfect with the exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold....you're probably doing it WRONG.

what ever you do dont boost on a budget.....=P

for the love of the scion gods...please dont come with the whole 6psi untuned questions or kits unless it is a 16g turbo

You drive 120mph on the streets in the rain because you believe the forced induction gawds created boost for you and anything else is uncivilized, oh and because you think the bov is cool.

haha

if you want it done right, do it yourself.

friends dont let friends boost ghetto

You own a turbo toyotas simple kit! you did it wrong :(

lol cb bro u cant talk 2 much no offence u were untuned at 6 psi before correct?

wtf...lmao...you had a tough time huh? Mine was great except for the ic pipes werent as nice as the later ones so i feel ya there.

DO NOT! ask if you can drive around for 6 months untuned so you can save up for a piggyback.... lmao

actually i can talk, yes i was the 6pdsi untunned guy, BUT i was the guy who did this in order to try and clear things up for the scion community and put some R&D into it..


the results were posted...

16 afr at wot at 4.8psi and higher..

interesting thread but people need specific advice, not the obvious.

the best advice i can come up with is dont assume anything.Dont rush an install. There is not a magic tune that works for every app. Never ignore a possible variable, it could cost you your engine. never just drop your car off at a shop for a tune/install without asking about their experiance with the scion brand. Never half ___ an install.

hey i own one too, i got carb and you with it we 3 had the worst kits

it was kinda rough installing the thing but all in all (considering what i just had to do and what others have had me do) it was kinda easy. could have been better for sure.

Specific advice is not applicable, each application is different, stating what is obvious to some is not so obvious to others. To some just starting off, the obvious is not obvious, this will serve as a guide to answer all the "what if" type questions to aid us in flaming those who do something mentioned in this thread.

Dont assume your engine can handle boost, atleast do a comp test to have a better idea.

i LOL at alot of these peep on here

if u dont have money for a fuel management system then dont install your kit on top of that if u have a fic or w.e don't install ur kit if u dont have money to pay for a tune + even more fund's for back up it's been said 100+ times but everyday i see another dumbazz post

on one hand it ____es me off to see threads asking questions that have been answerd 100+ times but on the other hand trying to sift through all these threads for one specific thing ____es me off even more so i kinda understand.

i like how we always holler to have new members search for old posts. we all know the search function is pew.
