Reaper's turbo build - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Reaper · 06-16-2014, 11:04 PM

So ive built a few toyotas in my day. My favorites are toyota pickups. Everything from v8 swapped solid axle 4 runners to my absolutely intoxicating turbo stroked long travel hilux. Ive dabbled in a few friends supra builds and owned a first gen mr2 for a little while and a few others even a scion tc. Then I joined the military and moved a lot. So cars and trucks went out the window.
I started building atvs and motorcycles in my somehow always second story apartment in various places with a sears toolkit while all my shop equipment sat at my mothers house thousands of miles away. I ended up with a very fast suzuki bking, a ducati and a absolutely monstrous 100hp can am atv. Name: uploadfromtaptalk1402973864550.jpg

Then I moved once more and was told I would be there a minimum of 3 years! That an eternity! I bought a house and a trailer and moved my toolbox and gear down from my mothers house.

Time for a car or truck again. Something fun. I searched for supras but they were way too much money and a 2jz build has its drawbacks. Maybe a v8 truck again? Nah. Got it. V8 miata. I sourced an lq9 a iron ls chevy motor and started looking for a miata but as I started planning the build and adding up the costs fullblown had put up a post about making 600whp on a stock motor. Hmmm....I do miss having a toyota again. What ever happened to the ft86?...

My 4 year old monster of an atv had only 72 hours on it and so did the one i built for my wife. both starting to collect dust. I sold them and bought an asphalt frs. One month later I ordered a fullblown turbo. Name: uploadfromtaptalk1402974116056.jpg

Then i started dding the car as weather was getting bad and my wife likes my truck. When the turbo showed up I installed half of it. Lol. Literally. The fuel pump, intercooler and all piping were installed and the coolant and oil line where run but capped off. I drove the car all week like the that.

The goal was torque. I chose a gtx2867r a perrin overpipe and a fullblown dual 3 inch exhaust. I went with 550 injectors because I dont have e85 near me. Then we made this Name: uploadfromtaptalk1402975065110.jpg

I had a weird high rpm lean condition. Thankfully I was smart enough to wire a wideband o2 into the factory ecm and my tuner made me a great custom map with a failsafe that saved my motor. I had a large change in e content and was pushing my fuel system a little hard.

The 1000s and the walbro 485 are in! My buddy just grenaded an ej25 over 400whp because the factory wiring died while using a 485 so mine was hardwired. Car made good power and seemed to be stable and reliable now. Then another lean condition. Wtf! Now an idle issue and a dtc. Now its running hot. Holy crap.

Hardwiring caused a po230 code(fuel pump voltage)
Idle issues were because a walbro 485 hardwired is too much for the factory regulator to handle with rail pressures over 70psi. Both base fullblown fans died on the dyno. The no longer sell the kit with these fans.
I got it home and removed the upper radiator mounts and trimmed the factory shroud violently until it fit. Somehow.

Car drove pretty well and made a lot of torque spooling nicely. But still had some teething problems. Mainly the fuelpump and po230 code. With a check engine light on you lose your cruise control by the way.

I called lj at fulblown and walbro. Turns out when I initially checked my pump voltage it was at 8.6 which I thought was from resistance. Turns out the pump is voltage controlled by the ecm. I ripped out the hardwired relay and the dtc is gone and the car runs buttery smooth after a tune adjustment.

Very nice build!

Are you comfortable storing the e85 outside like that?

Looks good.

dabocx · 06-17-2014, 12:44 PM

So 485 is mandatory for that much? Guess my 255 isn't going to cut it :/

Sweet build!
