E.L.Prototypes Turbo Kit
Hello All,
Just dropping in to update everyone. Our turbo kit is in testing now. We will inform this board on its release date. If anyone saw the xA in the Team Hybrid booth at HIN this weekend, that was it. The owner of the car is JDM Paul.

We will take some pics of the kit installed. Sorry that we havent done that yet. We have been trying so hard to get it completed that pics were the last thing on our minds. We will take them today. We will not have a break down pic yet because we would have to disassenble the car. There is a link on image station of the car. We will find it and link it.

Re: ELPrototypes wack xA

I'll see what happens at extreme autofest if the big winner shows his face!!! Also I've talked to a judge at HIN and he said that, he didn't even get to turn in his score cards. He said judges from higher up said that they already had winners friday night, what's up with that! That show was all set up! :x :evil: :x
P.s. Oh yeah if you didn't get it earlier BOO BOO :roll:
Ps.s. Don't remove this post, some people want to know whats up in the world!!!!

I agree with whole car shows being rigged scenario but this is not the place to do it. Go make your own topic on the conspiracy theory. This is a product release topic and you're jackin it.
That's probably why the admin took your post off. Not because you've got a gripe with Vision and HIN.

Estimated whp gains? Goal is reliable 130 to the wheels, we will push the engine till it gives.
Estimated price range? Dont know , not done with testing yet. More parts may be needed to make the kit complete.
Auto transmission compatible? Yes, it will be. We will test auto next.
What kind of fuel sysem and ecu upgrades/modifications involved? Due to other manufactures veiwing this, we cannot say. Dont worry, it will come with goodies.
Warrantee covered?Due to the nature of the product, it will be hard to keep everyone from upping the boost, so no engine warrenty. Product warrenty, yes, 1 year on the turbo and workmanship. Dont worry, were not making a blow your motor kit. Extensive testing will be done before release. We have plenty of backup motors so if something goes wrong we can pop in a new one and inspect the failures on the bad one. We will be disassembling the motor from time to time to inspect for wear.
Is this kit labor instensive.....or geared more toward a "bolt on" assembly? Bolt on with minor labor.
Next question will be "how long till release?" Well, that depends on testing.
Hope this helps.

There will be two versions. One with on with out. Basically the non i/c kit will fit xA, xB, Echo, Yaris, and Vitz. The intercooler set ups will be different on each model (piping wise)because of the different bumper types.
We already have rods and pistons available.
Block gaurds and sleeving too.
Cams are going into testing now.
Intake manifold w/larger throttle body will be ready in two weeks.
We have been making headers and intakes for the 1NZ since the Echo was released in the states.
Let us know if you need anything else.

Will it work with no problems on an automatic transmission? Will there be an upgraded ECU and fuel injectors? If on the final kit you get the Front Mounted Intercooler about how much whp will be achieved?
