:thumbsup:Nice! Now I can follow your build--all in one place!
Ace 2011 gt turbo
So after a while, and beeing lurking around other members' build threads.
It's time i've started my own, and stopped stealing everyone else's threads.
My previously driven cars were:
-90 Opel Corsa 4 Speed 1000cc ( Grey
uke: )
-96 Suzuki Swift 1000cc ( red )
-97 Toyota Corola 1300cc ( red )
-90 Toyota Celica 1600cc ( red )
I'll try to keep it short and as updated as i can, limiting to the essential.
The car is a 2011 6MT Milano Red CR-Z, Which i bought used, with just 19.000 Km.
It's my daily car, and my first purchased car.
I've always had a passion for Japanese cars
Here's the only photo i have of it Stock. :iough:

I'll Keep here the current Setup and Mods:
Performance Mods:
- Garret GT25 Ball bearing Turbo @ 8 PSI
- Front mount intercooler
- 330CC Keihin CTR Injectors
- Custom Made CAI
- Hondata Flashpro
- Custom Exhaust Line
- Universal Catalytic Converter
- C-Blaze Trunk Spoiler
!!Everything else is pretty much stock!!
Total Cost, of Tuning/Material/Labour/Hondata
4200€
The car is making 201Hp.

And the end result:
With proper shifting, estimated 0-60mph, should be 5.8-6.2 Sec
Even though i couldn't find the conditions to do it yet, i estimate that this setup, will be able to achieve a top speed of about 280 Km/h ( !! Yet to be TESTED !!) provided enough sraitgh line, which is very respectable for this car.
SEE Minute 1:48 for 6th speed Straight line Acceleration
The car is very fun to drive, and it now has the overall engine power, it should have from Start.
- The current System Allows the Engine to make up to 270-300hp, However Pistons and Rods would have to be improved. For now i'll stick to this build and 200hp
Posting a few pictures of when the system was being built.

After a couple of undecisions, and going from one Garage to another, ended up replacing my exhaust tip, and painting a few accents and details here and there, sticking to this look. Although i have a few more goodies incoming.

Performance wise, like mentioned before, the car is incredibly fun to drive.
Maintaining all the IMA functions and assists, creates a good combination, of an eco friendly car, good MPG, and now packed with more performance.
Out of boost, the MPG is the same, as even though the turbo is small, it was tuned so that it wouldn't start kicking in until the 2500 rpm, allowing you to cruise discretely inside the city, without drawing much attention, but, as it is a small turbo, as soon as you pedal down a bit, the response is almost immedeate, not experiencing any relevant lag.
A small turbo together with the IMA assist, ends up giving you all the acceleration you'll need for a very good experience.
I will post around updates as they come up. Don't want to post a massive build
Feel free to post any questions regarding the build. :beer:

All the close friends that either tried the car, or went shotgun on it, Enjoyed it, a lot.
People who drove it stock, and now turbo ed, notice a considerable difference, even though stock, was already good.
I'm a simple guy, with taste for simple things, and I tell you, with this setup, I get everyday 30 minutes of total happiness going to work, and getting back from work.
I've seen some charts of k20 systems, and it looks incredibly similar, aside for the rpm, the horse power on the wheels, and the torque don't differ that much on what I've seen. With this route, at least you maintain the hybrid, and the mpg, not losing the CR-Z identity. just found this ( out of the 140 lbft torque the stock car has, 76 are from the IMA, so i'm still amazed at the 20hp little elctric motor )
If you look at the dyno run, you can see easily that at 2600 rpm, the car has almost it's max torque.
Like I've said in other scattered posts, after 2600rpm, it's all fun and games all the way to 7000.
Driving it daily You notice you always have more battery Because the car takes less time to accelerate, saving your IMA for later.
Even though I don't have any aftermarket visual mods, the sound the car makes, the color, the turbo, and it's uniqueness, makes it almost impossible to pass unnoticed.
It doesn't sound like a ricer, it has a nice tone. It definitely sounds bulkier, and more powerful. Now I can sure say, the power and chassi match together.
I'll be posting more stuff futurely,and more videos when the weather allows it.
Next step will be mounting my spoiler once it arrives, dipping some interior parts, and figure out how to customize the Oem hood, into a vented version of it.
Any questions, just shoot, and I'll do my best to answer them.

One of the instructions I gave the builder, was that I would like it to look as Oem as possible, so even in a minute, he showed me what was going where.
The turbo is concealed behind the. Engine, and aside from. The custom Cai, there's not much viable difference from an Oem Bay. The intercooler is not visible from The bay, and if you look from the grill, "it could just be the radiator"
Whitebeauty, I didn't know numberoneoppa was doing turbo aswell, until Of recently.
I already have 7000km on this turbo, which is a lot for me, since my daily commute is of <30km. So far the turbo Behaves nicely.
I replaced the the oil after 6000km as it appeared darker than usual. But turns out the oil was still great, and I was just being over caring.
I now would love to test my theory, on reaching 280-290 kmh, however without suspensions and breaks, I really didn't find a spot to do it "safely", as even with the turbo it will take a while. But now, at least it has power even in 6th gear
Yeah @numberoneoppa had it in Ayumi and I loved the setup and everything about it... I think he's running a disco potatoe though.One of the instructions I gave the builder, was that I would like it to look as Oem as possible, so even in a minute, he showed me what was going where.
