Turbo 4AGE (now with 50% more ****!)
Well someone on www.dorikaze.net told me i should check this site out and let me just say its going to be the biggest help of all. Ive only done some quick browsing, but it looks like all my unanswered questions will be figured out after i spend some time digging around.
Anyway now for the business end, i own an 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86) if you dont know they came with a twin cam fuel injected 1.6L engine. The guy i bought the car from had rebuilt the engine, ported and shaved the head and decked the block. I put cams in it, a header and built a crap 2.5 inch exhaust for it.
But of course thats not enough, so id been eyeing up cheap ebay turbo kits and lucked out with one that was actually in town for $700. It came with almost everything i am going to need t3/t4 turbo, external wastegate, BOV, manual boost controller, fuel pressure regulator, intercooler, piping and hopefully all the nuts bolts hoses and gaskets ill need to finish it off. The kit was meant for a Honda, but all i really need to build is the manifold. Which as you'll see is a hacked piece of work. If i havent mentioned i have no clue what im doing and am fully expecting something to explode or fall off when i first mash the pedal. Im planning on using stock electronics and fuel system, but dont know if thats going to work yet. Hopefully it will be ZC since im only planning on running 4 - 7lbs of boost. This is also only a temporary setup and learning experience. Im trying to get this done for the 14th of December, which is the next drift practice at the local track. I will be getting a 4AGZE bottom end (MR2 supercharged engine forged internals, oil squirters strong block etc), better manifold and some sort of stand alone setup once i have more money and i blow this one up.
Well ill stop talking now and show the few crappy pictures i have.
This is most of the kit, but i think a few things are left out.
This is the start of the manifold, a friend of mine who works at a heavy duty shop was a bit drunk when i told him i was putting a turbo oon my car. He then volunteered to make a manifold right then and there, so we went to the shop and he grabbed a bunch of cast steel plumbing tees and 90's. This is what happened. Me and my buddy Ben made the extension and turbo flange. Its nt done yet, still needs a place for the waste gate and the 2 end mounting holes.
Even though this picture is just the turbo placed under the hood, its going to sit too high, so Ill probably be smashin the hood or cutting a hole in it. And yes i know the turbo is too big for this thing haha.
Comments, advice, laughter, insults. I take what i can get.
Thanks for looking.

Re: Turbo 4AGE
No clue yet, ive heard too many bad things about megadquirt and a friend is using a power fc? in his skyline and seems to like it. Other then that I dont really know to much in the stand alone department. Im apprenticing as a mechanic, but electronics are still not quite 100% in my knowledge range. Im trying to learn as much as a can, so ill be prepared. I dont like the idea of spend thousands of dollars to get a tuning shop to do it for me.
I didnt mention in my original post, but i have an innovate motor sports wideband o2 air/fuel gauge im going to be hooking up just incase i run lean on the stock fuel system. Should be a good start for learning i figure.

Re: Turbo 4AGE
MAP ECU2 or AEM EMS. There is nothing else id spend my money on. You need timing control, and piggybacking the stock ecu is asking for failure. See this thread if you havent already.
