Installation & Review: Yamaha OEM Turbo & MPI Stage One Upgrade

Throttle Body Preparation

Steps 16-17

Install throttle bodies

Now a key point in this was to install the RH (as you sit on the sled) carb heater before you seat it, or its nearly impossible to get on.

You will notice the line is not seated all the way, haha I made that mistake of only getting it on half way and installing it. Its pain to try and get it on all the way after installation.

Same thing happened on the LH side.

Eventually after some coaxing they finally seated all the way.

Now I double checked the tightness of all the Manifold clamps

With that done the Throttle bodies are installed

Well I ran into a small problem that I mentioned earlier

We debated between replacing the wiring

We ended up just wrapping each wire then wrapping it all together

Then wrapped the entire thing up.

Well onto finishing the Throttle Body preparation

no good ! take it back apart go to napa get some STARBRITE LIQUID ELECT SEALER AND WATER PROOF THE WIRES ........

THINK YOU CAN EVEN GET IT IN PINK
IF YOU DONT SEAL THEM AND WATER GETS IN THERE THEY WILL CORRODE AND CAUSE INJ FAILURE

 

[2Huskies]

Even fully wrapped?

 

[slash]

is there air between the wires yep water WILL get in there

thats a weather pack connector it has rubber seals around each wire and the connector joint so water cant get in

If its not completely sealed off electrical tape can make things even worse because water will find its way in but with the tape on there it tends to hold the moisture in and accelerate the corrosion process.

more often than not the harness is hot and the ecm duty cycles neg if you have water in there it might fire all 3 injectors at the same time and flood or just shut down the eng

Airbox and Blow-Off / ByPass Valve Assembly

Step 18

Remove the RH OEM nut that connects the Square Aluminum upper steering column to the cast bulkhead.

Make sure you keep the bolt, its reused!

Step 19

Then install the billet nut extension in its place

Airbox and Blow-Off / ByPass Valve Assembly

Step 20

Insure the 3 Provided O-Rings are in place

Step 21

Attach the Airbox using 4 M6X16 Socket head bolts

When I first put the bolt in it didnt fit. It took a bit of fighting but eventually the bolt will turn and fit.

Airbox and Blow-Off / ByPass Valve Assembly

Step 22

Connect the 1/2" IAC hose from the throttle bodies to the airbox. You will have to trim the hose down to make it fit.

The piece in my hand is the amount that I had to remove to make it fit, its a tight fit. Make sure you include the hose clamp before you connect it to the Air box.

Then tighten down, but don't wail on it or you can break the plastic adapter.

Airbox and Blow-Off / ByPass Valve Assembly

Step 23

Attach the brass Oil Vent Filter/Breather into the small 6MM vent hose on top of the valve cover. Used to be connected to the OEM air box. Then zip tie down and ziptie to the fuel line.

Step 24

Mount Bypass/ Blowoff Valve

Use the last two of the socket head bolts to mount this. Insure the large outlet points to the right. (all directions are as you sit on the sled)

Step 26

Connect the the 3/16 rubber vacuum line coming off of the throttle body Tee that was previously installed. Its the really long tube haha. Then Zip-Tie it down.

Airbox and Blow-Off / ByPass Valve Assembly

Final Step
Step 27

Attach the spring from the RH side of the sled with the nut extension to the Airbox. I had to use a screw driver to pull it into the ear on the air box.

Onto the Chassis Preparation and Turbocharger Installation.

This will be one of my Saturday Projects. Ill make sure to get that resolved.

If its not completely sealed off electrical tape can make things even worse because water will find its way in but with the tape on there it tends to hold the moisture in and accelerate the corrosion process.

Didn't you say you got your hole drilled last night in the chat box??

 

[2Huskies]

I did, pictures will be posted today! It was an ordeal haha

 

[christopher]

So, all in all, how's your installation going?

You having fun bolting in this new turbo, or did you bite off more than you can chew??

I remember installing my supercharger, there were some moments where I was LOST and felt like beating my head against the wall, and others where it was the easiest thing in the world. I was glad MPI provided such a detailed, Step-by-Step manual for me to follow. That made all the difference in the world.

I think cutting the holes in the bulkhead was the most "troubling" thing about it for me. I was SOO worried about screwing that up and making a mistake. Anything else could be fixed, but putting the hole in the wrong spot had my undivided attention!! In the end it worked out GREAT though, was TOTALLY WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT!!

measure 20 times check,check & double check & cut once

Overall its actually been pretty fun!

I have never done anything like this before. To be honest the closest I have come to doing something like this would be changing the tire on a car. Yet so far things are really going well.

Thats not to say I havnt gotten stuck, had to consult friends or the manual, or banged up my nuckles and tried to stifle a few words haha.

MPI really does a good job of making it clear what to do! The only times i felt lost were when I wasn't paying close enough attention to what their instructions were.

I have had to sit there a few times and just look at it and look at it and smack the sled a few times till I figured it out .

But without a doubt drilling that hole last night about gave me a panic attack. Haha, up until now it had just been uninstall this, install that, all using stuff that already existed.

Yet when I got to a step that said to cut out a hole i really stressed. (Ill have pictures this afternoon)

But without a doubt I am so EXCITED to see how this thing runs in a week!
