UPDATED PRICES: Phoenix Tuning Stage I Turbo Kit, For '94-'99 Celicas Options

[celica47]

lol I see the guys over there welcome you with open arms with a turbo kit. Over here you get hassled...lol iam still interested though. I think its a good way to get some decent HP for those who arent hardcore with spending money and dropping mad amounts of money into there car. Have you had any dibs yet on either of these sites Raven?

[playr158]

its not hassling its just making sure its done right
and to make sure he knows what he's doing
i welcome a turbo kit for this community its been needing one
i just want to make sure its a good one

[nik]

Nik, did you get my email?
[right][snapback]278607[/snapback][/right]

yeah i got it.

I dont know about the price tag but he is trying to make a direct bolt on kit like i had its not real hard (it is if your not mechically inclined) but it is time consuming.You still can do it yourself or buy a kit less time.

now to the dirt
do you have a prototype yet?
you need dyno sheets with air fuel readings
dyno video maybe
A list of parts that come in each kit.
is there any options?
what diameter piping?
what bov?
turbo internal or external gate?
is the manifold coated?
are you gong to do injectors?
spark plugs? one step colder what gap
there are alot of little things
how are you hiding the boost from the ecu i used check valves or are you going to use a new map sensor?
warrenty?

what do you mean by hes in the hole 240?

[Dr_Tweak]

playr158, I'm not going to be "claiming" anything. Either I'm going to build a kit that makes 200hp, or I'm not.

nik, thanks for the good questions.

I am picking up the test Corolla this weekend and I will start building that kit. That one will be done first and then the Celica kit once I get one to work with.

The dyno sheet will be provided. The list of parts that I have in the first post it pretty accurate. As far as options, I've had a number of people request certain specific parts be included for them. I have no problem customizing kits that way. For example, if you want to choose your own turbo, that's fine. The intercooler piping will most likely be 2" or 2 1/4", but I will test it to make sure. The wastegate is internal. I have not decided on the coating. Injectors will not be included with the stage I kit. I'm planning on copying the 3SGTE gap for the time being, but that needs to be tested. I'll be using check valves similar to what you did.

You mentioned that you needed to adjust the throttle plate? What needed to be changed and why?

[nik]

raven this is what i would do 3 stages

stage 1 (hot air) 5psi
manifold
FMU
turbo w/ internal waste gate
oil pan
drain line
feed line
filter
check valves
bov
piping (from turbo to intake)
boost guage
MBC

est whp 140

stage 2 (gettin cooler) 8-9.5psi
all of the above +
new piping
intercooler

proven 170whp 180 torque

stage 3 (hacking the brain) 10+psi
piggy back system

est 200whp

options:
spark plugs
wires
2 stage mbc
upgrade bov
powder coating
underdrive pully


i should patent this

[playr158]

the 3 stage idea for the 7afe but it probably wont happen

[Dr_Tweak]

It's not just me, it's us. Why did they need to be adjusted, and what changes did you make?

Also I refuse to market a kit that's not intercooled. I will be breaking the kits up into three different ones though, which I'll go into more detail about tonight.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

I know Raven personally... hes THE doc. when it comes to cars... ill vouch for him. he knows his $hit and excels in it and i look forward to seeing his kits in action!

bboy

[celica47]

alright thats what iam talking about Raven has some crediability. Nik thanks for clearing that up ,240 sx lol iam dumb. Raven you know what else would be nice just a suggestion i think pressure2 was talking about it and i think 97scelica knows about it, a water injection system to help add more cooling wouldnt be bad to look into.

[javi714]

this turbo setup sounds good I'm starting to save my money now so I could get it

[Dr_Tweak]

bboy, celica47, jav714, thanks for the votes of confidence.

By the way, raven_101 is a REALLY old screen name, my name is Dr Tweak and that's what everyone knows me by. I'll see if Coomer can fix that up for me.

[celica47]

http://www.aquamist.co.uk/cp/cp.html heres that cooling part for turbos if anybody cares to take a look.

[Dr_Tweak]

Well guys, I managed to pick up a 5th generation Celica this weekend. I've got some repairs on it and then I'll develop the turbo kit for it which will be the jump-off point for the 6th gen Celica and the Corollas.
