Teh Trubo, 90% complete (pics)

[Timeport]

well out friend Xanatos has finished the trubo and it's now running.

here is a link to the pics

http://www.tld.net/users/mendez/


before you cry there are no pics or the turbo itelf finished in this link he will get those up in a week or two this pics is with the manifold still in the air.

guages are beautiful


TRD-GT has already seen the car in the street and it looks faster...
Xanatos claims the car has lots of torque now..

since he can't even see the site now email him questions on ths page or you can post here and I will get the answers you need.

[TRD-GT]

funny how u guys didnt get along in here, and now this...oh well..love and hate relationship....

the car runs and it runs hard as hell...torque is there too in massive amounts...i ran n the car with him a friend the sound systen etc...and it ran hardall the way....idle is calm and the only sound u can hear is the secondary fuel pump...he needs to move it or insulate it...he was working on that yesterday also the turbo timer and boost controller....right now is at 10psi....with gts injectors(they are bolt on)....and the car has a very small oil leak that will be fixed next week......its fast

[shyvpboi]

link doesnt work confused:

The page with the pics doesn't work.

[po9i]

just wondering, how much did everything cost?

[JLsubs]

Hi Timeport.
I got a question for you. When i look at The picture interior #1. I saw on the both side of the double din head unit. It seems you have something liek a kit mounted the head unit. I have a double din too and got some gap on the both side so it. I was looking for a kit to mount for a long long time already. So i wonder where i can buy the kit like yours? Can you give me a help? If you can i will really appericate it.
By the way, those lights are so cool and the car is hot with the turbo. I aslo wonder how much is it for total you spent on it. Cos i have a GT auto too.LOL
-David:D

[pensfan83]

JLsubs -- that's not Timeport's car. It belongs to Xanatos, a former member of this board. I think he's over at Celica.net now.

[Slade_Templar]

how much did this cost and what are some numbers from the dyno on it?

[JLsubs]

Alright i make big mistake now.
WEll Timeport can you please ask your friends Xanatos, where did he buy the Head Unti Kit. Thank you.

[LaW]

Still looks like a big mess in that engine bay...but it's cool to see a turbo setup on any celica....

[Mjolnir]

FUK, isn't he dead already???? Or is that just wishful thinking!

looks like a freaking used autoparts store under that hood...did he get EVERYTHING from the trash bin behind NAPA?

10psi..well, I'll give it 2 mos. before it blows!

Nah, wait...it already BLOWS!:p

ps. this is still my favorite pic...what a piece of ghetto trash!

http://www.tld.net/users/mendez/upload/Engine5.jpg

must have cost him his entire life savings...all $4.95 of it!

pps. STILL was not aware that they sold TRUBO's at "HOME DEPOT" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[jsalicru]

hey dude... give the guy credit for originality... your ****ing ass hasn't put a turbo in your ****! If his kit works, the only difference between that kit and a kit for a GT-S will be the injectors and a timing retard unit.

Another thing... you think it would blow eh? Well, I hate to tell you, but the Turbo MRS in SCC... is running 12 psi on a stock bottom end too! And his kit wasn't very clean at the beggining... (I know this because I saw it at body pros in Cali when it didn't even have an intercooler)

He spent a lot of time making this kit.. I give his credit even if he does blow it... because he put a lot of time to make it happen.. and he leads the way so that others figure out how to put a turbo kit on their Celicas for under $3,000... cause the only other thing available is 6k! 6k is a lot of money to throw away on boost. At least for a 25k car. And you want to turbo and you spent 6k because that kit looked cleaner... then the real idiot here would be yourself...

So if you dont like it.. then whatevers man... thats you.. but at least give him credit cause hes put a lot of work and if it doesn't look clean.. well then at least understand that this is a one-off custom kit... and that hes tried to put funds together to do it.

There are some very nice 10 second cars out there that have a dirty engine bay...

Lucas, esta cabron...

[jotan82]

oh god... now the hating back and forth begins...

how bout everyone just stop hatin and start lovin this man for attempting to put in a turbo???

how bout sayin thanks for opening up ideas for other auto gt's for the future???

or just argue and let this thread go on forever... hahaha

[Andwele]

sweet wheres you turbo kit? wait u don't have one do you? but I'm sure you have some good looking pedals and a **** knob that says turbo on it. When you have a Turbo setup that u installed yourself and made you can talk. Until then just STFU the more you talk the more people are goin to see that your a fool.

Jotan82:

I agree with you.. I think that there should be at least some love because of the work that hes done. But I know Xanatos, and it kinda pisses me off that someone would just say something like that especially after all the hard work that has been done.

[WillyK]

I'll give him credit where credit's due...he pulled it off and I think 95% of the people doubted him. I hope for him that it runs good and he doesn't blow anything. Personally I still think he's an ass but at least he has his home depot turbo going. Good job man.

[celica gte racing]

i remember his first post here, he like didn't know ANYTHING about trubos, so i helped him out abit. i knew from the beginning he was going to do it, but he's an a$$hole, anybody that actually interacted with him on this forum ended up fighting wit thim. dang its been like months and months since he first started it... as soon as yohan gives me news about a group turbo for the dutch celica club... mouhahahaha and it won't be made from stuff found in the scrapyard.

im happy for him, i'm rather curious, but, i really don't see the point on a auto... anybody know how many psi he's running?

[JLsubs]

Timeport:
What do you mean ABS plastic? Is it a homemake one or you order somewhere? If you order somewhere than can you give me some more information about it. Thank you

[LaW]

I give him credit for doing it but it looks like his engine was made by the gear heads on junkyard wars....

[celica gte racing]

LOL! hahahahahahahhahahaa :talkative :talkative

this is too funny (not for nc.org worshippers)

he really hates nc.org i see. i like his vintage intercooler tho!!! man he ought to see a shrink, he's an emotionally challenged kid... any bets how long his trubo will last??

LaW: ya happy?? :mad:

[LaW]

Could someone please edit this post....those pictures are definately not the kind of language we need to see around here. Thank you.

[Johan]

The only this so far he killed is his warrenty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

automatics are usually more turbo friendly. better for dragging. easier to hook up on launch w/lots of torque, and you don't have turbo lag between shifts cuz you don't close throttle.

This is why like this kid and all his post he actually know his sh!t unlike others in here....


yo...we have a meet on sunday in north jersey why don' you hook up with us and maybe bring some of the LI people with you

[t2000gts]

i dunno if i'd be available this weekend myself or if there's any long island people who'd be able to go to NJ for a meet...we mostly kinda lost track of each other after ryan (nd4spd) lost his car and i ran into a spate of problems with mine :-\ you should still post about it inviting people in NE forum though, maybe someone can go. hopefully we can get the LI guys back together soon.

i was planning on heading out to track and it's almost that time. waiting for it to get REALLY cold ;) i might go to englishtown AND westhampton to also get a comparison of the two tracks. that'd probably be on a saturday for e-town. if any of you are nearby and wanna hang out, lemme know. or maybe the last day but it's only 1/8.

[Timeport]

did you not know Etown is the favorite track of about 80% of the proffesionals.

I would defenetly recomment Etown WH I didn't even know there was a track out there LoL.....

[t2000gts]

yeah true, but westhampton's faster ;) it's at sea level and all the way out on LI. also E-Town's always so crowded. WH is empty, all you see are drag bikes and muscle cars.

WH is the way to go if you want to make tons of runs then

[TRD-GT]

he has not lost the warranty...well sort off, u see the guy that installed the whole things is like the lead mechanic or something like that in a toyota dealer, so he has one engine to blow and one transmision, i heard this from the mechanic...so thats that, the car is running 10 psi, with stock internals....gts fuel injectors....that he got for free (that mechanic again)
....etc....he has lots of gaugues in the car, plus the s-afc....etc....i think he has a total of 4 or 5....i dont think the car is running lean at all....

Mjolnir:
what is ghetto piece of trash, are u talking about youre engine bay????cause in that pics, u can clearly see they are still installing the turbo????and the job is very good!!!i know i have seen it a couple of times already....an i dont know why, but i think that the car is fast...it might be that we ran it we 3 pips on board and the sound system and the car....felt like a manual gts in steroids.....

instead of talking trash u should be asking question...lots of them....maybe u can learn something if u ever decide to make one dont you think????i mean i am sure i have learn a lot....


and the job is finished the car is running, and running fine, the only reason that is not finished is cause of little things that need to be tune, or connected etc.....but the car is being drive hard everyday so far, looks solid....

[Shortchange14]

F*** NC.ORG thats not very nice lol

[celica gte racing]

10psi? don't you think thats abit too much for stock internals in the long term?

[MSR27]

Ghetto setup but much props to the owner. Wonder if Larry has read this thread or seen the pics yet. He's gonna love it, LOL!:D

[X-EVIL-X]

i bet he will;)

i like the set-up in insight-gt's car.
the carbon blue celica gt turbo.
im sure you guys have seen it.
his car is extremely nice on the outside, inside, and engine.
plus the 5 speed helps a lot.
that car is probally fast a hell.
why hasn't he posted slips yet?

[Chumpchiggy]

It's funny that he wrote F*** NC.Org on his pics but... he IM'd Monkeyboy2000 the other day and asked him to talk to me about re-instating his account here...

He keeps begging peeps to ask Larry and I to let him come back...

The kid's got communication problems... not to mention a self-esteem issue.

However, much props to him on the Turbo setup. Regardless of what others say, it's innovative, and probably provides alot of extra torque and horsepower...

I still question the GT-Auto but, to each his own... right Larry? :D

No ****... Why turbo charge it if your not gonna run it at a track? Defeats the whole purpose. Time slips. We're dying here!

Thats if you have like 350 or more HP then it will be more helpful the supra that I will gettin in an auto with a level 10 tranny

give him a month or so to tune it perfectly and work out any problmes with it. then he will give you video's and time slips

[t2000gts]

no. the traction on launch depends on a few things.

1) RWD or FWD
2) tires
3) gearing

if you have a RWD car, it's immensely better for launching, thus you won't need an automatic or a widely geared manual (assuming you're teh shiznit when it comes to launching) until you're at 350+hp (this also depends on chassis, curb weight, etc.)

in a FWD car, the threshold is much lower. especially in the GTS 6-speed which has such short gearing. the gearing is made to maximize naturally aspirated power. throw nitrous or a turbo on there and you'll smoke the tires to 60 (which people have done, ask larry). even on drag radials.

assuming the automatic's geared properly (which the auto GT is, but the auto GTS isn't, different story), in the celica chassis and tires, i'd estimate you'd need an properly built automatic or some modificatiosn to the manual transmission for over 260hp/tq at the crank. or at least, that's when the auto becomes useful instead of hindering performance. and that's if you don't want to smoke the tires to 60.

that said, he probably would have been just as well off with a manual. 5spd GT's gearing isn't as short as the GTS. but even then, consistency and ease comes into play. it'll definitely be harder to launch a celica after forced induction, but you can repeatedly pull nice 60's with a torque converter all day long.

i don't have a feel for auto GTs as much as for auto GTSs (because i drive an auto GTS :p) but it'd very interesting to see what kind of times he can pull. i'd also be very interested to see a dyno of an auto GT, turboed and n/a (but nobody's dynoed one n/a, and he already turboed his car so...). i wanna see how it'd match up to say...zooq's car. which is tuned around NOS. he's busting mid-14s with a torque converter and a 60shot (around 200-210+whp and 160-170wtq). a good aim for Xanatos if/when he goes to track should be low 15s for a first try. then tune it some more to try and get into 14s. That's unless 10psi is a whole lot more than i think it is and gives way more power than those numbers above..

[Mjolnir]

To the "Rican" contingent.

I could care less about how "innovative" X is or how "cool" it is that he has a home made Trubo. I give him no "PROPS" b/c he is a liar and an a$$ and needs to be slapped around a bit by life!

If you guys want to worship your new hero, (in his AUTO GT no less) please do so. Personally, I FART in his general direction and can't wait for that freaking time bomb to go off!

Bah, I can't be bothered...WHATEVER!

[Kit99bar]

notice how he has 2 inch drop springs... but it doesn't look like it?

[143hawaii]

It's true auto's are good because they keep boost in between shifts but I'd still take a manual tranny anyday. If you're going anywhere besides straight, the added control of a manual tranny helps immensely.

Still, very nice to see some people backing up their words with action. I give Xantos some mad props for being one of the few and first to actually put their money where their mouth is.

[TRD-GT]

Mjolnir:

he might had lied to u and the others, and he paid a price, he cant enter the site no more....yet, no matter ho much u hate x or y, the fact is that he has the trubo set up, running, now, nobody is calling he a hero or anything like that....but reality stands, that almost everybody and their cousins, want a turbo for their celicas, and xanatos's turbo is one step closer to it....pips doesnt have to imagine it no more, they can see it, and ask real questions about it......

hate the man if u want, but give props to those that deserve it....dont u think???.....

u were bothered cause u posted.....:p

were u teh guy that , got an operation on the knee:confused:

143hawaii:
i prefer manuals too....

[dawgg]

let him come back on the site... even if he is an ass. People were being asses to him too. It benefits us if he is on here.... it would be be interesting to get details on his setup. And if he acts like an ass again remove him for good.

[IceManFX]

timeport where in north jersey is the meet?

i live on the border of morris and union county

thanks
Eddie

[t2000gts]

ya, i think GTS 6-speed guys should contact Quaife on a possible run/group purchase (minimum of 25 i think) for a new final drive.

a taller one at that. it's 4.529 or something right now...maybe 4 or 3.7 or something. this would help nicely for guys with crazy amounts of power.

[RexPokinghorn]

Hey... to anyone who knows the guy Xanatos... could you ask him if that extra fuel pump of his is a top or side feed?

The setup looks a bit rigged, but if it works, props to the owner. Don't know what all the drama is, but I guess it's better I dont :)

Thanks

Yup, all better now tho..(mostly)..

Ah well, Good for X. I will give him 1 (one) PROP. How's that.

Bygones be Bygones and such..:)

[TRD-GT]

Mjolnir:
thats better:p ;)
also could u post pics of it, youre knee.....also will u use a knee brace, i use one that is called xcl...is in carbon fiber....and is the bomb...i use it to work(i work at a ramp) also to run.....i recomend it, big time, its just the best darn thing i have ever used....

RexPokinghorn:
dunno man...i will ask him when i see him....ok:cool:

[Timeport]

beto he said you took some video of him WHERE IS THE VIDEOS

[TRD-GT]

dam carlos what happened was that, i tested the car at night, and i took like 3 videos and they all look crappy as hell...so i erased them, caused he said that he was coming the next day during datlight so thati could take good films of it, but he never came.....i will post something up...i'll call he up today or tomorrow ,and do something

mira loco gracias......

[jotan82]

what ever happened to this project?

[ringthree]

Back from the dead. He has had the Trubo on for a while but they dont come here much anymore.

[fastcelica]

He used some exhaust wraps, its supposed to help keep the engine bay cool. But thing is, does it really help???

[hashiriya13]

Nice job. I have one question. I looked at the pics and the turbo manifold is really close (at least from the pic) to the fire wall and after a few hard launches and your engine mounts flex from the added torque will the manifold hit the fire wall? Unless you found stronger engine mounts. (urethane inserts or mounts) Just remember if youbuild it they will come $$$$

I want to see some slips too, but you can sort of judge by the video he has posted on the site. I'm guessing that it is about as fast as a GTS from the video.

If you watch it, you can tell from the sounds that they didn't really "launch" their cars. I mean, you can tell from the sound that the guy in the 6 speed GTS didn't rev up his engine high and slip the clutch out, you could tell from the sound that he took off normal and floored it. You can hear them go thru 2 gears with the GT slowly pulling ahead, and then at the end of 3rd they pushed in the clutch and let the GT cut in front of them.

You know that the 6 speed is going to get a lot better launch than the auto. If they actually did a real race where the 6 speed driver agressivly launched thier car, I wonder if the GT would have caught up by the end of a 1/4 mile. Plus, I cant tell if this is my imagination, but it didn't sound like they were revving to redline when they shifted out of second. It sounded like the pitch was higher on the 1 to 2 shift.

So I am guessing that his turbo GT would post GTS times at a track. What do you guys think?

[BoyRacer]

this is an old old post guys. jotan brought it back to life. timeport and xantos are no longer members.

[celica70]

I TIRED TO SEND him an email on his site and it said to many HOP count or something? how can i get in touch with him?

[celica70]

why cant X come on the newcelica any more???????

[larryd]

dont worry about ti
