Our Ae112r Sportivo Turbo

boost holds at 8psi. Doesnt spike are drop off. A dyno tune should be able to fx that problem if you have it.

How easy are these cars to get dyno tuned? Can the stock ecu be reflashed?

Nope, its a TOM'S ECU but its still Toyota as far as i know you can't tune them, then again i would be glad for someone to prove me wrong :D plus these cars don't have boost control via the ECU, its just what the actuator runs.

 

i think my exhaust is restrictive as to why it drops off boost, as i now run a larger turbo that flows more exhaust gas and therefore it can't get rid of it as efficiently. I also believe a boost controller is in need for my car.

so no point trying to tune it on the dyno then. Just got the cat back on and when you back off the throttle the exhaust pops. Wanted to be able to fix it up once the cai intake is done.

[Karllos]

How did you go about your CAI as i have had to worry about my clutch i haven't been able to fix mine properly am curious as to how you have set it up :)

Hey mate! fitted up cai last friday night. Used the standard piping thats comes off the turbo, cut the straighter part off (still kept), attached a reducing 90 degree silicone elbow to the end. Fitted an 80mm pressure socket (thanks to Reece plumbing, my work) into the elbow and attached the pod filter to that. From pipe to turbo mouth i used the smallest silicone joiner i could find...turbosmart blue joiner. think its around 50mm. Used a normal hose clamp for the pipe and a GBS heavy duty hose clamp (also from reece) for the turbo.

I'll post some pics up tomorrow. I'll also try and figure out a video so you can hear what it sounds like.

 

Oh and the price all up for making this was $65

Good discount from autobarn on the silcone bits.

Stuff from reece... FREE :jamie:

 

Beats $330 that i had been quoted!

depending on where your pod sits, you may want to think about a bracket to support the weight of the new piping and pod. Mine is mounted behind the drivers side escution plate and it kept slipping off the turbo, at one point there was so much movement, the piping rubbed against the radiator and caused all sorts of problems.

[SportivoPSI]

 

With one of these clamps on the turbo, it wont slip off! piping clears everything and is not in contact at all.

I will sort out a bracket of some sort thought.

 

Whats the escution plate?? My pod just sits in that little area under the water bottle, behind the fog light.

 

What did you do with the little vacuum line that runs into the standard intake?

that looks quite nice actually ;)

 

That vacuum line runs to the oil air separator from memory lesley had a bung welded on hers and ive still retained that small bit of rubber tubing that has the connector for it from factory.

 

Id definitely recommend getting it hooked up as it helps with the operation of the oil air separator

[SportivoPSI]

yeah i think ill look into that ;)

[SportivoPSI]

CAI sounds!

 

[Karllos]

Thats very interesting! Ive never been able to get flutter as such, having said that we both have upgraded turbos so maybe thats it?

 

Il post a vid soon of my car soon, when i have a chance :S

 

Karl.

 

P.S Il post 2 one of the flutter and one of the bov :D

[SportivoPSI]

Yeah that would be good. It actually sounds like that whilst driving as well. Mate said that it needs more boost and a bigger cooler to actually sound like its dosing. I have no idea. I just know that in my subie i get nothin coz its a top mount configuration..... Jealous :blush: Apart from the wank factor, i don't mind the sound, coz its unusual to see/hear on these cars.

[Funking-Awesome]

That is sweet! :blush:

The flutter sounds sweet, id prefer that than the 'does' but i don't believe that I'm able to do it :D Anyway ive got my B.O.V so I'm good :fuzz: more boost and a bigger cooler will make it more distance as such more gap between the tsch tsch tsch! lol if that makes sense. Its awesome surprising people :blush:

 

The top mount position shouldnt make that much of a difference cause the Tivos still have a cooler and a lot of piping even with the CAI. As per many other cars. What setup do you have on the subie?

 

The 'wank' factor I'm referring to is the 'does' il show you what i mean soon.... prob today :P

 

Karl.

[SportivoPSI]

hehe yeah it makes sense. I had my performance mechanic give me a 15-20 min lesson on how a turbo engine works and he explained that the longer the piping, the bigger the gap between 'tsch tsch tsch'!

 

My subie just has a bigger turbo (avo400s) and bigger tmic (Process West). The stuff all pipe from the cooler to the turbo. So when running no bov, the flutter sounds like a pur from a pussy cat :blush: haha!

Id hate to feel my car with a fmic. Apart from looking pretty tough! I just couldn't put up with the lag!

 

I think the rolla needs a little more boost. Maybe around the 10psi mark. Really don't want to bugger any internals or the manifold though.

 

Here's a couple of pics of my subie setup and the 'WRX' logo I sprayed on the cooler this weekend.
