Mini supercharger on 1zz

[Wabbitkilla]

From experience the 1zz is quite sensitive to header lengths and diameters when tuning and mapping.
I appreciate this may be a stopgap but considering all the other effort you're putting into this project I reckon you need to get something much better fabricated.

[Carolyn]

Agreed.
Edit: Hence the mention of Hamish and a 'more elegant' solution.  We just want to get it to run and get some readings...

[Carolyn]

In terms of just getting running - couldn't you just pop the standard cat and backbox on? (no idea how you'd support it)

Also - in terms of engine management. Where are you at? I've just taken delivery of Lee's eManage Blue, I won't be fitting it for a month or two due to other commitments. So if that would help, I can loan it to you?

That's very generous of you.  I think we're going to need something for some while, so we might as well get one of our own.

[Carolyn]

Well, the main part of the physical build is done.  I've been going over the thread and re-listening to the various inputs and we've decided to go for an ECU (e-manage type).
So, does anyone have a suitable ecu and harness that they are willing to sell?  Been trying to keep the spend down, but this looks like it does need to be done.

[Essex2Visuvesi]

Drop me a PM with your address I have an e-manage blue here with harness etc, along with the USB cable, software etc

Wont be needing it till the spring now so You are welcome to borrow it

[Philip0694]

How's the build going?

[Carolyn]

Making progress, but it's being fitted in around tons of other stuff.  Getting the final components for the rest of the exhaust. (Can't use the standard cat or muffler) and then it's on to management.  Induction plumbing all done.
Got an emanage blue and harness, yet to attach it to the car.
Getting there....

How nice of you!

And again, 3 points to you too   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

People are so friendly on here.

I'm assuming the standard cat and exhaust won't fit due to how the manifold needs to sit now.

[Essex2Visuvesi]

Carolyn has my e-manage blue as I have picked up an Ultimate for stupid money

I actually regret selling the PFC, but at the time I was going to go for a rotary conversion and the PFC wasn't going to be suitable

[Carolyn]

I'm assuming the standard cat and exhaust won't fit due to how the manifold needs to sit now.

You assume correctly.  Cat not a problem, but I now need a pretty compact silencer.  Preferably not too noisy.  All suggestions welcome.

Edit:  By 'not a problem' I mean I can get a compact 200 cell cat with Lambda port for reasonable money....

[Carolyn]

looks useful.

[gamps]

Such a good build cant wait to see the end result!

[shnazzle]

Surely this build is very similar? I'm looking mostly at the manifold and exhaust design.

[Carolyn]

Very similar.  That manifold would be cool....  Finding one??  

Looks like they've gone for a lot more boost and power than I'm looking for.  Very very thorough job.

[loadswine]

Is that not a Celica manifold? That is on a 2zz engine though. Is the Celica 1zz manifold different to the one on the roadster?

[Carolyn]

Looking on google... that's a 2zz turbo manifold.  not expensive.  might take a closer look if I'm not happy with what I've built...

[loadswine]

Looking at parts listings, the 1zz Celica manifold sweeps back, but the first parts of the primaries may not give the required clearance. Definitely a different profile to the one on the Roadster though. Might be worth a look.

[Carolyn]

Had another look at the 2zz.

The Eaton M45 (the Mini one) has the output on top.  No room for the manifold... bugger.  I'm quietly confident that the one we've fabricated will be good.  It's straight tube of the correct ID to a Toyosport assembly.  Average pipe length is actually now closer to even than before.  O2 sensors are in the right place...  
Anyway, it's built and in the car.  So we'll know soon enough.
