Ebay turbos ? I dunno if id put that on my sc4

 

Oh god, like you have such a baller car! You're a decade too late for that comment

 

That power band looks like ***. I don't if it's from the exhaust side choking flow or the fact that he is using stock ecu. The setup looks really nice, but he needs to go standalone. He'd make more power even on 5.5psi. If you are going go FI on this engine then you really should bite the bullet and go standalone. You'll need it eventually anyways.

 

nice work....but why is the downpipe so small? or what ever it whould be called in this setup

 

Mucho Props to the guy that did this! I thought about it, but decided against it mainly due to not wanting to depend upon an external oil pump to pump the oil back, and I did not fancy cutting the rear spare well out. But, I love the simplicity of this man's set up! Mad props!!

I know guys are gonna tear this down, as some already have...But how many SC's have FI of any kind??? Lots of Internet warriors and trolls always complaing, but never doing...

This is a great set up for someone wanting to add great power, and for little money! Awesome!

Notice that is 300 WHP and 290 ft lbs of torque! A lot more than stock...The stock, non-vvti SC is around 170 - 190 WHP at best (with no mods), so that is a gain of over 50% in power at 5.5 PSI! I bet he did not spend alot of money either...There's your inexpensive power gainer right there!

Rock on Man!

Ryan

 

He spent almost 10k trying to figure out his setup with a lot of trial and error. However, I bet if he tried it a second time it would have most definitely been cheaper. He has the stock manifolds on there as well. He saved a chunk of money right off the bat using stock manifolds.

 

I just want to see more 1UZ potential be brought out in the U.S. This is another good start though.

 

^^ x2. I wonder if xs power would be interested in making an affordable kit for the 1uz.

*crosses fingers

 

Me too! I would take a boosted 1UZ over a 2JZ any day. We need more turbo 1UZ guys.

 

I'd like to have something underhood like this which is becoming so badass that it has convinced Matt to sell his infamous SC in order to finish.

 

^^^ dear god! holy non closing hood batman

 

Hmmm interesting, something i wouldnt do but props for it being UZ

 

I with Ryan on the mad props for this guy getting it done. There are way to many talkers on here. It could have been more presentable. Like the twisted bracket for the turbo & stuff, but all in all, Its running & making pretty good power.

 

That is basically what I have...Times 2!!

Lots of challenges with the front mount turbo set up in the SC400...

A) Space
B) Cooling
C) Space
D) Keeping the AC
E) Space
F) Keeping the Power Steering
G) Space
H) Custom Manifolds
I) Did I mention Space?

I think you all get the picture...

Again, mad props,,,

 

yep space and fab. and time and money and more and more... then water pump leaks... remove all and everything just to get to zero and start the water pump repair... i applaud anybody that has the skill and patience to do it thou.
mount the turbo(s) in the rear and from what i have seen and heard...

(i posted this before because i've been thinking seriously about rear mounting myself.)

Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.

Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.

No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.

Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.

Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.

Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment.

this guy with a clk 430 rear mount turbo...
