New Mods Performed

[Sportivo Concepts]

I've been quite busy in my leave, been touring alot with SCCA across the US and will hitting other race circuits thoughout Canada, Mexico and South America this summer and fall.

We have been running limited under new development a Twin Turbo 1MZ, with some okay results although the turbo is not stable enough to get accurate results.

Right now we are in the process of get more accurate and stable results at the dyno. Some of the problems we have been getting is unreliable shift points and as well as irradicated rpm.

We figure with a couple of more months of testing and tuning we can get a stable platform together with some very good numbers.

If all goes well we will offer the turbo to the 1MZ community.

I will be posting updates as things come along as well as more information will be found on our site once we launch in May.

dam, thats awsome man. good to see you postin again. 1mzfe TT1 yur crazy. and i see you decided on the es300, good choice, is this the engine that you are turboing? we need pics!

Nah, the ES is completely stock, may add an amp and new rims later. After the trade in of "Sportivo 1" 01 Cam 5SFE I only paid a couple of duckets more. The ES had 5k miles on it and a little scuff under the front bumper like they came out of steep driveway fast.

The Camry is getting turboed using a 98 Cams 1M. We had planned using the 1M from a ES or Avalon with a 5spd auto, but the set-up and the ECU are completely different. So right now we are sticking with egines from Camrys, plus they are easier to come by.

Maybe once we get a stable platform for the Camry we will try to port it into other platforms.

there have been TT 1mz's before, but that was in japan, but i'm not sure what was done for that kit, and i dont know if the engines lasted, so starting one from scratch like you guys is a smart thing to do...


i dont wanna be presumptuious, but how much would this kit be..?

I'm not really sure how much it will go for, if anything it will be priced accordingly with other Turbos.

But mass production of any performance piece like this will solely be based on making sure we have a stable and reliable platform that wont nuke the engine.
