It also adds about 5hp, yep...and saves at least 5% fuel cause it looks good:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bellyroll:

Very nice. Does this mean that engine mods for the Scions are interchangable for the Yaris?

Yaris / Scion share the same engine, so some mods could be interchanged ... mounting positions and so forth would be different in some cases. The Echo is more like the Scion in terms of engine layout in comparison to the Yaris.

Nice, the same first Mod I did to my tC, mine is also real CF. Looks awsome, gets a lot of attention.

Good call on the Engine cover. I would have never thought of using one off of a scion..

What can I do with mine?The airbox is totally different, because I have the 1.3lt engine.

Here is a photo

Your engine was used in the french made yaris's to start with, so you can use existing mods from these engines such as air filters etc. and the hks turbo thats designed for the 1.0l engine MAY fit, with some work

Υeap I have heard about it.

Do you think that I can spraypaint or something my air box?Does it worth it or not?

Thanks for the answer.

Try to get a less restricted Intake, that bend there looks pretty awkward. And if you want a prettier engine bay, just keep it clean and maybe paint the air box.

Are you talking about the blue tube?It's made of silicon and it's supposed to be letting more air in the airbox.

The main problem is that I cannot use the custom intakes from the previous model, because the front part of my car is different and it does not allow much air to come in.

would say check for scion parts, for most engine trim from the 1.5L in the scions will fit a 1.5L yaris,

i would start with google, but that is just what i would do ;)
