Welcome to GenVibe, Denny!Excellent news! Looks Kick a$$!!Can't wait for more and remember it can't arrive at your house until April 22nd @ 11:22am EST (Ha, Ha)

Thanx Brian,Ive been meaning to drop by and spend some time ,share cool stuff ,and yak of course

Sounds awesome!! Really loud BOV!Need more!!!!

and around how much will this turbo cost me?

Heres a few more pics for you guys ,dynos should be about 7-10 days away were doing 7-8psi runs and 10-12 psi runs with alky injection and race fuel on the 10-12 runs ..we'll post videos of all dynos as well as drive bys and cockpit vids,more pics to come also hers a few more(1st one is the Hydra standalone EMS for vibe/trix/corolla my Trix is 1 of 3 world wide to have this system it controls all engine and fuel management and vvt as well as cotrolling lift to engage at any RPM ya like mine is set at 5500rpm.. The price for this system can be viewed at http://www.hassturbo.com Im thinking the 1zz is aroung $3995 and 2zz is $4495 check the sight to be sure (my car was the doner for Hass and Hydra unit) check for special pricing he has been know to offer specials (at christmas the 2zz was $3995)

Wanna see power of the 2zz check out some videos heres the 1st you must click right and save target as http://www.hassturbo.com/video...1.mpgand heres lots more to look at,enjoy http://www.hassturbo.com/video/video.html

As far a a stock motor what type of boost can we run inorder not to cause damage to the engine and what type of up grades will we need to make to not blow the motor? What all is going to come with the kit will we be able to get the EMS like you have as well or is that more if we want that?

WOW!! I was a little skeptic when I saw you posted this on 4/1 (possible April fools), but wow, that is awesome!! I would love to do that to my GT. That MR2 is putting out 327 whp with a 2zz swap!!

Thanks Rio for posting this here! ...and welcome to genvibe! There may not be as many "motor-heads" here as on MatrixOwners.com, but there will be definitely a few who will be very interested in this package. I am excited, and waiting to see the dyno results! I also want your opinion on the use of this kit on a daily driver. Please keep us updated over here as well. Thanks again.

<<waiting for "so what, it's not a subaru" post>>

so i gots a question...if i get a turbo on my base model and i already have the lightweight cranks and pulleys from UR installed will that cause problems?

I gots a question too...does Keely come with the package too? Or do I have to pay extra?

A quick question, since I blew the back out of my Girls transmission with 180hp.What kind of transmission mods are going to be done to keep are transmissions togethere, with all the added horse power.I'm very interested!

Welcome Rio Trix! Looks great! Kick (removed)!And go kick some cars asses!!!!

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »I will do it then.. It does not have full time AWD. Great looking car though and is there a point about the subaru part? Subie's kick booty! probably just trying to make waves. and i still miss my VGT. had it been full time AWD, or even selectable 4wd (now that would have been PERFECT!) then there wouldn't have been a need to get rid of it.

so are there any extra mods req?,.... and about how much hp does this add? to a base

Quote, originally posted by P-Fernandez »so are there any extra mods req?,.... and about how much hp does this add? to a basethis is for the 2zz (GT) the 1zz (base, awd) already has a turbo available. faultline already has one, search for posts he made in the FI forum.

hmmmm...after we solve our engine management issue...I see a possible showdown....stay tuned...no pun intended...lol

Sorry Ive been absent for a while guys,but as you can imagine designing a full standalone engine managment system for our rides has proven to be a MOFO to say the least..BUT as of this week ITS DONE!!! and (removed) !!! this is 1 serious BAD @ss machine,the power is ungodly!!! we finalised strret tuning,now its dyno time,were running 9psi daily and gonna do 12 psi runs as well (yep stock internals) we did videos of our street tuning 4 ya to enjoy http://www.hassturbo.com/matrix/rio-trix-road.mpg ...lots more to come dyno vids in car cam vids in few days away...This is by far the highest horsepower ViBe/Trix/Corolla to date.....We now have full high -horsepower afytermarket support for our rides guys...picture your ride with the power of a wrx-sti hmmmmmmm????? heheheheheh!!!!Lots more on the way next week stay tuned!Rio

so when you guys gonna donate one for the vibe??? LOLIll take it! That looks sweet! sounds good too

Just reading over a few questions,1-a clutch upgrade is a MUST this kit will put your ride in the 300 horsepower range..were running an ACT heavy duyty 6 puck.These engines and trannies are a lot tougher than you guys think (theres 2zz's out there putting down 360whp on to internals now ) and if you dont go NUTS on boost your trannie is fine..But the stock yoda clutchs are complete garbage.Also the kits are available for all 2zz's and all 1zz's manual and auto...also this is a full complete kit all the way down to spark plugs,sealants,boost gauge,oil filter,perfect map for your engine managment ,high volume injectors,etc,etc...theres nothing other than engine oil and to install the kit...Hass also has a help tech line for install questions but instructions are included...

Are we talking "CARB" certified? Any plans to get tested if not? This is what would make me purchase one or not!

Quote, originally posted by Rio Trix »These engines and trannies are a lot tougher than you guys think (theres 2zz's out there putting down 360whp on to internals now ) ...Are you kidding me? How about I send you the bill for my girls transmission that I had to buy. The back of the case broke off and was still attached to the rear mount.It has to be a common problem because When I went looking for used ones on car-parts.com there were quite a few that said rear mount repaired.So I'm sorry to differ with you, but these transmissions are not stronger then we think.

love it can not wait to get mine we are saving money right now , we wish some one would help us . we want are for racing not show . need some time slips of this car

Dyno results in292whp at 9psi -with 13% drive train loss thats 330horsepower at the crank (stock)more to come

I fully respect your opinion ,time will tell in this case...292whp is an extreme amount of power to the ground in a Matrix...Most guys may not choose to run this high a boost setting...me thats a differant story.

I miss banging gears. LOL

Time slips will come very soon....

Pics of any trannie beef ups would be fantastic,for all us guys...As of now Im looking at C2s trannie upgrade package in unison with Quaife LSD .The only reason Im looking is plans for more HP.The only downside with the C2 setup is with the dog gears its increadably noisy,like a Nascar Trannie or a drifting Skyline were you really dont even have to clutch it you just slam the gears,very loud whining sounds though...I really think unless I push 400 Ill be fine unless Im at the track or strip every Fri. night. lol Obviously a grocery getter wasnt designed for 12/13 sec.1/4 miles every Fri. night but hey thats what makes it so fun>>>

ya, as much fun as it'd have been to have a turbo on my old VGT, i am glad i went with the LGT upgrade. i'd rather get a car that was made for a turbo that i can spend a little money to tweak here or there and still make some awesome power, have techs that know what to do with the turbo since they work on them daily. my car has only been wrenched on by subie techs and employees. for $800 total, i've gained about 50 whp and over 100 lb-ft tq with just a few small mods. the car is spitting out (my (removed) dyno and judging from other's dyno's with same mods and tranny) about 250-260 awhp and 320-340 lb-ft tq. with about a 22% loss (awd) that's about 310-320 hp and insane tq! right now, it's TOO much power that i have a tough time controlling it (thus supported by my crappy autocross times and constant cone eating). i cannot imagine having my VGT with 292 whp and expecting it to survive me for longer than a few months! lolas for me... i will be racing just about every weekend in my "conservative" LGT. some of the heavy modders with swapped trannies and turbo upgrades are doing well over 300-400 awhp! and the sti guys? hell, i know one of the guys i talk to on the forums (also owns an LGT like mine) pulling over 600 awhp! these cars though, were made for this type of abuse... ok maybe not totally true, but they are made for and around a turbo. just like the vw's and audis (i've been extremely impressed with them as many of the subie owners have switched to the A4 and S4), they are made for such tuning and modding. as long as you don't use your car as a daily driver and keep it relatively "conservative" you can make a lot of power with less $$$ on these kind of cars and still keep your warranty.i will say, if i'd kept my vibe gt and had the $$$ to slap on a turbo for the hell of it, oh ya! you KNOW I WOULD!

yeah, so anyway, those are pretty damn impressive numbers there on the turbo 2zz! i want some track times ASAP!

what's up with the attitude? please! *roll eyes*

Are we talking "CARB" certified? Any plans to get tested if not? This is what would make me purchase one or not! Doubt your gonna see that happen buddy>Rio

Soon as we can buddy,were as eager as you are to see 1/4 times

Quote, originally posted by trdvibe »i'm not a buddy. see the avatar??? i'm a chick. don't assume everyone is a guy on here.he was talking to me, accidentally quoted you.

Sorry chick....honest mistake on my part...you have my apoligies-I was replying to drunkinvibe (just made a mistake)

shes not a babe either!!! shes a "CHICK"!!! get right...

Correction noted: man tough crowd

sorry. forgot to add the and it's not a big deal. i get that a lot.... and even on the subie boards, until someone meets me.. "oh, ok. sorry, thought you were a guy." but apparently they never understood my comments about "my hubby" or "no, i'm a chick" reflected my gender. *sigh*

hey I think its increadably cool ,and wow gal ya been on this board a while tons of post,extra cool...We dont have many gals on MO but i luv talkin with the ones we have (not like wierd or nuthing Im married as well) there just a breath of freash air to have fun talking with and they luv moding there rides,I so luv that...im sure your hubby is mighty proud so ya own a subbie ,no vibe anymore why?????and I see your a racer too,way to cool The guy that built my turbo system his gal in the pic obove with my car races a EVO8 and does all here builds..Once again so cool..I luv my wife but didnt get the fun side of having a wife that luvs cars so much...She luvs going to the shows with me though...

well, hubby is a member on here too (Mavrik). that's how we met waay back when. he's been auto-crossing his vibe as well, doing much better than i. he's more patient and more controlled than i am in my LGT. still learning to really drive it you know. we just got into the racing thing this past fall, right before the winter, now we're getting into it this summer. it's a lot of fun and something we're both enjoying together. and i'm also on MO, but haven't been much lately since i don't have the VGT anymore. i think i've got about 3K posts there too (from my 1000 posts in 10 days post-(removed)-athon). we have some friends that own EVO's. they are incredible cars! we've been very active in the subie/audi/evo crowd since last year when I bought the LGT. needed an AWD classy and professional looking vehicle vs my rice rocket vibe i had. of course, the LGT is slammed almost to the ground, just the OEM 17's still, some performance mods and such, dark tint, etc. i do miss my VGT. if it wasn't for needed my car as my main source of income (outside sales) and my daily driver, had i kept my VGT, then i'd be following in your footsteps! lol who knows, maybe we'll end up turbo'ing Mav's base Vibe when we get his STI in a yr or so. that way, we can turn the vibe into an auto-cross car. it handles and corners soooo much better than mine!

Too Cool,way to go gal..Mavrik's a lucky guy..

Just a couple last pics til tommorow evening(car gets here then)WooHoo!

Man that looks SCHWEEET!Too bad they arent affordable to most people that want one. Thats a lot of power for a lil car.

that's good heavy duty piping too. none of that pvc crap. looking forward to seeing 1/4 times. i'm sure they will be very impressive!

Im IN THE BLACK SHIRT AND NO I DONT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS
