Well wife and I thought it was time to turbo her xb!!

Pictures of the xB Currently:













USB ports I added...the one on the left currently has the Bluetooth adapter in it




CarPC With RR and the DFX4.0 skin



and with StreetDeck 2









The new goodies!
Pretty much brand new 1.5L Scion motor being used for the project




The turbo setup utilizing a Garrett T20




Greddy Emanage Blue


Bigger Injectors

 

9.17.10 - got the oil fitting hole drilled in the block for the oil return line, and the engine on the engine stand!









Greddy Timing Harness Added Too!

 

watching.....I guess it is a keeper now

 

Watching as well. Beautiful CarPC install

 

nice, its gonna be an even prettier box!

 

Did not get any real serious interest so for now yep!

 

Love the photos!

 

nice brian. only mods left are an eye, a horn, and some wings.

 

 

Cool man. I remember seeing that box in Indiana. The MB weapon wheels look good on it. Wish more people boosted these things, they are fun to drive.

Emanage blue does just fine on that car too. We are doing another crazy xB build at the shop now, with a gt28rs turbo haha.

 

Have you test fit this in-car yet? I have a bottom-mount setup as well going in and it's pretty tight. If so, I'd like to see a close-up on how the wastegate actuator is mounted. I'm having some clearance issues on mine. I'm running a Garrett GT2252 housing.

 

Yep this setup actually was from a friend of mines xb1 so everything fits and clears no problems

 

9.24.10 - Updates

New exhaust manifold gasket


Manifold installed



Test fitting everything

 

Thank you for pic 4. I may try to run it straight across as well. I'm still worried though about the pressurized side of the intake turbo being too close to the manifold. Did you notice any heat damage on the silicone couplers?

 

love that pin stripe that is awsome. Also do you have any updates for this month? Dyno run or anything im interested in how much power this turbo setup will give you.

 

No updates yet just waiting on the new clutch to come in

 

Are you going to run stock internals? I'm looking to turbo my Xa, but I'm not sure how much boost is safe to run with the stock bottom end.

This build is looking good!

 

Yep stock internals, as we will not be pushing over 9psi. We had a member in our club run this exact setup on his stock internals and 9psi for over 30k miles with zero issues.

Clutch should be here Monday, so more progress when it arrives!

Yes I actually did notice that, I am going to try the heat wrap and see if that helps

 

Looks Good! Looks like the TSI kit... I would be sure to either use some JB Weld on your return fitting or use a nice bulkhead fitting with an oring.. Its going to leak over time and the wall thickness where its mounted isnt thick enough to tap and get any useable threads. Badass though!!!

 

"Sometime you just gotta feed a little speed to your ride, you know?" ;)

Looking good so far!
