Ill be following this progress. How reliable is this setup going to be?

how reliable? lets put it this way. I have never had any failures, i have over 50 turbo kits out there without a single problem....except those "idiots" that turn the boost up thinking HELL YEAH then BAM! broken pistons cause they went beyond their injectors, or engine internals.

Whoah, now who thought i was going to put all 5 of these on my car....Seriously? no guys and gals, these are for the kits im producing....DUH!

I think that guy was joking lmao
you should make a dual turbo header, 2 cylinders to one turbo, let us know how that works haha

Yes I was joking, It would be like asking if I could run 68 psi on my 3sgte on a 4:1 compression...

...Not that I wouldn't try it...

how many of those 50 are 5s kits?

none are 5S kits but i do have the one on erynns car. they are all 1ZZ and 2ZZ kits. These im doing now are getting me into the 6th gen world. but kits are kits, all the manifolds are the same material and quality and never had one break. The only time someone breaks something is because they messed with it. that's why im doing this on my car first. if i break my car, then its my problem. i wont send out something i haven't done myself

And that Smaay is what makes you EPIC on Newcelica.org so you're like a resident celebrity of cargod knowledge . Nah but seriously I use to majorly troll around newcelica and you contributed some awesome info and stuff.

cool.
agreed on the manifold, they definetly look nice and beefy.
sch10 pipe?

thanks man.


im finishing up the 5S kits now. i have run into a small issue. its not going to work having a universal kit so i will have kits for OEM bumpers and GT4 bumpers. its only 2 pipes that are different and the intercoolers will be different. ill have pics when im done

pics of the difference

look on the first page.

after 3 hours of tuning the Split Second box, its starting to come along. the turbo spools really fast and 9psi feels good. the 5S-FE seems to have a wierd point a 4000 RPMs where the A/F changes drastically. can anyone elaborate on this?

Pics coming soon

... I hate you... I was planning on doing a V6 swap later on down the road (either this summer, or the summer after) but seeing on how your kit is only $2500... I think my plans just changed.
one question though, for now, I have an automatic trans, will running 8psi destroy it? (I still consider myself "new" to I4's and there auto trans's, since I had a V8 with a 5-speed right before buying my celica) I tried looking for the breaking point of them, both with google and on here, but I could not find a straight answer..

Dude, if I felt like my 5s could handle boost without blowing a valve or 6 through the cover, I'd be all over this...

not sure if this helps you but sounds like the same problem people were having with the aem f/ig at same rpm to where resistors were used. just a thought ..

yes it is very similar to what the FIC was seeing. im starting to wonder if the OEM computer has some wierd transition at 4000 RPMs.

as for the reliability of the kit. i will not release a kit without testing it. thats what im doing now. i would never put something out there knowing it will damage someone elses car. if i break something i can fix it and learn from it. so dont be afraid of this kit. its gonna be awesome.

what's the max psi on the kit for safety?

well in order to reach about 250HP id say about 15psi.

is that the highest?

update pls

been busy woth work and school, havent had the time to do some more tuning. plus the powersteering pump took a crap so i need to fix that
