No need to apologize, brother. I can't emphasize enough the importance of patience with this project. Take your time and make sure that the weak CXR manifold has been sufficiently ported, strengthened and braced. Install the gauges and injs first and drive with them for a week or more. Learn to watch your AFR and let the ECU adapt to the larger injs. Then it's time to install the turbo kit. I found the oil pan removal to be very difficult. The oem sealant is like glue.

Make sure you have all the bits and pieces, fasteners, etc. before you begin. Test fit first to find any problems or missing pieces. I prefer DW inj's but RC are good also. Make sure you get the adapter harnesses for them since RC are not PnP like DW. Good luck and feel free to PM or post any questions.

 

 

Scionfred you have an FRS now!

 

I miss my XB...

But the FRS handles incredibly well and it's 6AT is light years ahead of the decade-old 4AT in the XB. Currently looking for a cat-back while deciding between the Vortech and Innovate superchargers.

 

Wow Nice! You did say you were going to trade in your xB in a year or so... looks like you finally did

 

Yeah... finally. After looking at every available 2008-2014 car for about a year I made an impulse buy based on a very fair trade-in offer at Browns Toyota/Scion in Glen Burnie, MD. I just hope that they find the right buyer for my XB... I poured some of my soul into that car and really hate to see it wasted.

On a brighter note, the FRS is an astoundingly fun sports car with an overall balance not indicated by the raw performance numbers. It still needs 25-50hp to meet my demands but mainly because I'm not man enough to be soundly beaten by avg. family sedans, mini-vans and trucks in stop light races...

 

Thanks for the thread brother. Will reference this when I decide to boost the toaster. Right now just not advisable as my DD. :-).
