Default My Tribute MRS Update

The picture has some of the items needed to turbo the 1zz 1.8 Toyota engine . The kit costs around £1100 but you still need a good refurbished turbo {£300-£500] a set of uprated injectors [£200] an ECU Management system [£1000 £1400} an intercooler or charge cooler {£500- £600] and somebody to program the ECU with a boost map. Also needed are some additional sensors and a AFR [air fuel radio ] meter to keep the turbo running correctly as you do not want the turbo to run lean as that will cause detonation . All in all I reckon the total cost is around {£3000-£4000] to get the job done properly . There are less expensive engine upgrades for my car I have decided in future to go the Turbo route as my car is a replica of a Group B rally car from 1986 that had a Ford 1.8 BDA Turbo engine in the back and I want to get my car as close as I can to the original.
