finally turbo'd after over a year.
5 Attachment(s)
ive been working on turbo my 85 corolla gts turbo project for over a year and just yesterday i finally started her up and took her for a spin.
omg its freakin fun hitting boost. @ 4k rpm's it starts boosting. i usually let off around 5 psi cause im on stock fuel. however it seems like the internal wg will let me go to around 10 psi. its a 16g off ebay. anyone know what the stock setting on those? well no leaks so far and i have some seriously homemade stuff on here. as you can see from a couple of the pics. anything from jb weld to aluminum foil to plug holes. these arent permanent of course but i just wanted to take the car out of the garage. a couple of the charge pipes pop off here and there once boost builds up. i just put them back on and continue. however one time i noticed that if i grab the charge pipe and push it the whole intake side of the turbo will rotate a little. this is not good right. i am going to try and tighten the ring that holds the two sides together and see if that changes anything. otherwise as far as i know its running fine. i wish the boost would hit a little earlier.

What are you using to tune it? BTW we need more pic's!

Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
im using the stock ecu so i have to be easy on the gas. @ 5 psi i let off the gas. dont want anything crazy happening.
i retarded the timing. running 8.1:1 pistons. trd .8mm head gasket, ARP head studs. and that little intercooler. i have 440cc and 450cc injectors but i have no way of controlling them until i install the MSII and tune it. till then its stock parameters. i know these are crappy pics. but thats all i have for now. ill take better ones today and post them. |

pic of my gauges and the carbon fiber plate that i cut and jb welded in place of where my ash tray used to be. the oil pressure gauge isnt working. dont know why. i get lights but the needle doesnt move. i still have my stock one hooked up as well so it gives me a reading. maybe i have to have one or the other not both. you really think im taking a huge risk. i figured if i go easy on the boost levels it would be fine. |
Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
wrong!!! :3
seems like an awfully nice motor to be flushing down the shitter I would say you are taking a rather serious risk, your fancy gas pedal style isn't going to save your baby. |

Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
i dont plan on welding the gear on the crank pulley. im just running the regular distributor.
i think the gear mod is for edis, dli, or something. |
Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
Well it looks like theres hope for me yet. Im just suprised your turbo fit where you have it. I decided to top mount mine, mainly cause its too big to fit down bellow. That manifold is pretty decent, a lot better then my crap plumbing supply log one. Did you make it yourself?
