Which one do you prefer?

well as of right now the only "plug and play", or "bolt on" option we have is a SC by Blitz. It has gotten good reviews aside from some PITA situations with installing it. If you want a turbo your gonna have to peice one together or take your chances with some iffy kits. Caliyaris has one SC left i believe @$3400. Seeing as its the only Blitz SC you can buy without a royal PITA, I'd say its worth it if youve got it

Do you want to be boosted now? Or practically never? You can install a supercharger now for about $3500. You can talk and wish alot and a long time for a turbocharger kit. Just read all the turbocharger threads that have died off.
If someone had a turbocharger kit working today, I'd go turbo due to the higher hp gains. It just depends upon how long are you willing to wait for the thrill of the surge.

The eternal question.
No right answer for it.
So far there is one SC option available and Zero Turbo options available.
How do you compare that? ; )

Is this the ROTREX super charger kit, as seen on the Power Enterprises website?
http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/Powernews/Rotrex/Toyota-Vitz-proto.jpg
At this point, I am very interested. Very VERY interested if you throw in an intercooler for future increases of boost. :D
Power Enterprise Evan
01-20-2009, 08:06 PM
Yes, Gideon it is one in the same

this one is good for the Toyota (Scion) NCP91(2WD)
250,000RPM
Centrifugal type, much more quieter and efficient, nearly the same power band as a turbo!!!
Up to 98% Efficiency
Traction Drive - NO gears, much less heat than blower type or roots type.
YES, THE PIGGY BACK IS REPROGRAMMABLE!!
YES, THERE ARE OPTIONS TO INCREASE BOOST!!
YES, IT WILL BOLT RIGHT UP, IN ABOUT 4 HOURS!!! (assuming you know what your doing:tongue:)
YES, IT WILL WORK WITH A STOCK SETUP!! we setup our kits for "safety" there is much more room for Power!!:evil:
MADE IN JAPAN AND DENMARK!!! NOT SOME CHINA KNOCK OFFS!!
Gastrex also noted that two other people here have tried or bought the system from Japan...
We Power Enterprise USA were NOT allow to sell, support or give any other advice/comments to the US market, as of TODAY 1/20/09 have received the OK from Rotrex to sell to the US market.

i still want videos. what kinda boost does this put down? what were the specs of the car on that dyno? exhaust? pulleys? intake? would this work with richard's manifold? would a bigger Throttle Body or richard's manifold make this kit throw cells? i guess it'd need to be retuned with a different manifold and throttle body, correct? since it's based only on the stock manifold and throttle body

Boost pressure is mentioned on the previous page with the additional information about the kit.
The piggyback is reprogrammable, so if you ended up with a new intake manifold and TB you would need to have the it retuned for that.

You can also go to a local wrecked yard and look for a eclipse, audi, volvo, subaru OEM intercooler.
For this set up and for the amount of boost it will run... even the smallest of the OEM intercooler will do just fine! You can always upgrade it later on with a more shiny unit..
About the piping you just need to figure how many extra bends would you need and pick them on line or on a local store along with a couple of silicone couplings...

Oh ok now I understand. Thank you for the fast reply. So in the end which s/c kit would be better? Cause the blitz you have a control knob to adjust it and this one looks like it could be used with richards intake manifold. I think the tb position is the same as stock and if not how much could the extra piping cost? Maybe thinking about buying a s/c with my tax return

yes, the piping is very easy to manipulate, if you guys really dont want to spend the extra bending pipe, you can just get pipe, sand and a torch..
fill the pipe with sand, heat it up, bend it, cool it off and paint it black...
the sand helps keep the pipe from kinking when you bend it

^^^
Not true.... Just to clarify.
Even when the first gen Yaris (Echo) and the late Gen share the same engine 1NZ-FE, there are some some IMPORTANT differences onthe placement of the perifericals.
Just at the top of my head... the Throttel Body possition and Intake configuration is different and the Pulleys configuration is different as well.
So it PROBABLY won't be a plug n Play unit for a 1st gen Yaris ( ECHO ). Not to mention the ECU and wiring is different as well.
For a first gen Yaris you are better off looking for a supercharger from a 1st gen Scion xB. That is a much better match than the US spec Yaris.

He said originally $3770, I'm sure that's still the price as he hasn't edited his post stating that. :laugh:
Also saplaymate asked if their unit could be warrantied, which leads me to believe the kit they installed did not operate the way it was originally intended.

It would be easier to replace the pully for higher boosting the ability to easily add an intercooler and maybe richards manifold.
Personally I like the looks of this kit more than the blitz kit. Like I said if my tax return is enough I might buy this kit.

This was the kit that i originally wanted. Too bad it came out (official release -U.S.) after i made up my mind to work on the other car. We shall see. That pricing is not that bad, but $3700 in my wrx (powerwise) would give me like 3x the power this puts down. So it is a tough choice.
I just had my eye on a $2800 coilover from KW to replace my tein flex's. We'll see.

They should install one on a USDM car, drive the snot out of it and report the results. Before/after dyno, compression, plug condition, etc. at 100, 1000, and 5000 miles.
THAT would get people on board. But hey - that's easy for me to say from the comfort of my office chair. :smile:

Had one of their kits on my old xB about 3 years ago. There was also a girl from Ohio with one. Was a nice kit. I didn't like that I had to modify the plastic valve cover to make it fit though. As far as FMIC, I never got that far. I sold it before I finished the piping work. Was a failry simple plan and had plenty of room in the box.
Will have to think about getting one for the Yaris. I take it that the kit will fit the sedan without any problems? If so, give me some time to put some money aside.
Also, did they change any of the oil cooling system?

Man everything sounds really good so far. My question is that it says estimated time of install about 4 hours if you're a good wrench( I think I am) but does the kit include every nut/bolt/piping /couple/whetever to disasemble a stock car and install the basic kit and fire the car up with-out needing any other parts other than colder spark plugs and better gas ? I would buy this kit over the blitz based on the upgrade-ability and ease of being able to upgrade to a fmic with this kit .

Oh man , I'm all over this , but Imo for $3700 the kit better include every last nut bolt and gasket to install this on my car with-out having to run to the auto parts store for random nuts/bolts/gasket or worse be in the middle of the install only to find a missing gasket or something missing from the kit that would need to be sourced/time-out for shipping and leaving my daily driver down for weeks, that my only big concern with the kit .

with one month left before i pay off the blitz supercharger i wonder if i should have waited for this kit or another kit by someone else.

i'll stick with the blitz supercharger.
but someone else should get some ballz and just buy this thing.

We are not going to jeopardize our relationship with Rotrex just because someone wanted to be creative and buy one from Japan...
thats the risk you take...you want something bad enough, most will go to extremes to get it, but in the end you pay the price of reading instructions in japanese, and having no support in the US...

I hope you understand the point. What would you do if you were in the same position

still a LOT of money for 50HP. What I don't understand is though....why not do a DIY write-up on an installation and get a few to YW members for a discounted price to provide real life feedback for US people? That's the only way that somebody is going to spend 1/3 of what the car costs for a supercharger that adds 50ponies.

Very nice kit and option from Japan, it would be great and a lot helpful if there's a test fitted stock YARIS with this kit to provide photo, video, dyno results (with video not just a graph), daily driving reliability and personal experiences to back up the HP claim and will really help selling this kit.
As mention before this is a "newly" released kit, therefore there are no current owners of this kit here in the US...and as was mentioned before there seems to be 2 kit owners that brought the kit over by their own means....
For those of you who talk like this kit was designed and being offered by a brand new company please look in to the history and R&D that both Rotrex and Power Enterprise put into these kits, both companies are not some fly by night company.
We generally DO NOT sell like this to the general public, only dealers. If you feel more comfortable for any reason buying from your local dealer versus us I can arrange that sale as well.
Again, my offer still stands if you are local and need assistance in installation I will offer my help so far this sale is still going on.

I had asked a "real question" and you didn't respond , Does this kit come with ever last nut, bolt , gasket , coupler, clamp , to take apart a stock yaris and install this kit without any trips to the harware store or having to source some random gasket that leave my car down for weeks . For 4k this better be a stright bolt-on affair , btw the install is not a problem bro I just want a complete kit that will fire up and run good the first time .

For those of you who are complaining about dollar per horsepower ratio maybe you should stick to Nitrous Oxide, that gives you the most bang for your buck.
Again, this kit is NOT for everyone, I understand that, I apologize to the seriously interested people that have to read through the emotional garbage.
For those of you who truly understand horsepower numbers, 50 horsepower on any ONE modification is HUGE!!
On a car that is equipped with 84 horsepower, if that is at the wheels, thats OVER a 50% gain, please tell me another form of modification for the dollar per horsepower that would achieve that kind of gain.
ONE LAST TIME, MY OFFER STILL STANDS, I WILL GIVE UP ONE WEEKEND TO HELP SOMEONE INSTALL THIS KIT LOCALLY, OR I WILL OUTRIGHT INSTALL IT FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE.
Unfortunately I have to report to my boss in 1 weeks time to see if this forum venture has gained any traction, if I do not receive any solid buyers before that time frame there is a good chance this offer will be canceled all together and any potential buyers will be looking back at retail prices to purchase....

Wow....only giving us a week. Sounds like the pressure cooker is on....no thanks. I want to feel comfortable and see some real life examples. I recall a claim years ago by a vendor for Z-Engineering SC's for Gen IV VW's. All roses and there were TONS of problems. According to him though, in Germany....everything was fine, folks had thousands up on thousands of miles. I am not challenging the gain....50 HP is fantastic and the best delivery for this car for sure is SC'ing but c'mon man....we want to see some average Joe's put this thing on and drive the car HERE. To pull this off the table without some real life feedback is just ridiculous....:confused:

Agreed. It is our money after all and we as buyers should be objective to potential purchases and ask as many question as possible.

:frown: the times i hate being in canada. Always missing out the good stuff in cali. I probably would've jumped if I had help for installing it.
It is unfortunate that no one wants to take the chance on this SC. It looks so much nicer than the blitz unit IMO.
Has there been any test cars you've put these on Evan? Maybe you could have some people test the unit, do a few videos and reviews, and then remove them if they don't want to buy it so we can at least get some more testimonies on it? I'd really like to see this kit start selling, and I think just a review from someone would contribute to your sales.

I meant absolutely no offense in my post. In my own mind, i am pretty sure that this is a great product and a great buy. But with only pctures, and the sellers word, you can see why its difficult. As wonderful as it is that these kits have been sold in Japan, it doesnt really help here. Get one on a USDM, test and confirm it,(like stated earlier, even if you take it back off!) and im sure you'll make at least a few sales on here. Every one of us would love to see someone buy one. Best of luck!

as far as the turbo stuff goes too, we can do what the jdm yarii do as well its all just a matter of finding the right places to get the right stuff. so if there are minor electrical wiring differences use your smarts and figure it out. not everything has to be plug and play for it to work.

All we want is proof that it works on OUR car. Not a JDM one. You refuse to be truthful about why you wont even TEST one here. "oh well it works overseas"....sorry not good enough. I will have no sympathy for anyone who buys this and encounters problems. Im not an a**hole either so hopefully i didnt piss any other members off, if i did, i apologize....to you and you alone. Especially Chino, i know you try to keep the peace but i feel it needed to be said. PM me if you have any concerns.

Well, you did just say 1NZ-FE. Okay, a Yaris is a Yaris right? So how come JDM bumpers won't fit our USDM ones unless we get a JDM crash bar? "Same car" right?

this kit will fit the usdm yaris. it says it will. 1nzfe is our engine code as well so there arent any differences, if there were, it wouldnt be a 1nzfe. how about someone do something productive with this thread and just get it. i could tell you right now if i had the money, i would have already ordered one. i plan to eventually in a few months so if no one grows a pair by then ill get it. quit asking repetative questions people and read from start to finish.
as far as the turbo stuff goes too, we can do what the jdm yarii do as well its all just a matter of finding the right places to get the right stuff. so if there are minor electrical wiring differences use your smarts and figure it out. not everything has to be plug and play for it to work.
Mike, I respect your points, truely, but my statements were to answer the simple questions and getting results for our novice members who might want to tackle something a bit bigger than say, putting an exhaust on from TRD. You and I are in a different class than some of our members when it comes to building and installing. :respekt::drinking:
Really, KCALB SIRAY, it has come down to this, so many talkers here... no one is willing to step up to the plate, let me see someone show up with the cash, then feel free to ask all the legit questions they want... from what I see and read there are a lot of big shots, with no $$ to back it up....
according to
he has enough for 10 units!! WOW impressive....i wish i was big ballin it too
I dont know how you do your shopping, but I buy my things from stores and large companies, why ??? because I know its an establishment and not a person that may or may not stand their products.... I am merely selling a product on here...the product I sell is backed by Rotrex and PE USA. Not to mention I am willing to stand by the product and take my OWN time and help someone with the install and questions....
So please if you have something constructive to add carry on, if not please do not post....
I'm not looking to argue, I have my own plans on what I'm doing with mine. Like it or not, selling a product without full testing in all markets does not work for everyone. My approach with this thread would have been a feeler and would have taken the data back to my employer with the suggestions. Battles and name calling doesn't help the product move IMO. Good luck with the sale and I hope you do not take anymore offense to these suggestions:thumbsup:

If I could jump in this heated debate for a second.
I think this kit is the cat's meow, but getting someone to be the first on here is tough. Although I'm decently well versed as a weekend mechanic, I don't know enough about toyota's to say if this is a bolt-on affair.
In my experience, MANY parts designed as bolt-on need some sort of modification, for any car. I.E. strut bar rubs a.c. line, coilover didn't come with a brakeline bracket, etc.
But as far as options go, people, this is a viable S.C. option. To go from 85 WHP o.e.m. to 142-150 WHP with this kit is amazing.
If I were in the market for this kit right now, this would be the be all end all of my power gain searching. With a few more bolt ons that other vendors offer, I'd say you could add another 10-15 WHP or so.
But without this kit on a car on american soil dyno, i'd say you still need to prove the power gains as substantial as you suggest.
OK, carry on.

Mike,
I think that the real concern is as to whether or not this is a "true" 100% bolt on, no modifications whatsoever modification (hardware wise).

The 1st gen Box and xA have 1NZ-FE motors too, but their turbo/sc kits don't directly bolt onto our cars.
but, it has the same engine!!!!!
it must fit!!!!!
that's why the xB Greddy kit bolts up perfectly to my xA :laugh::mad::cry:
:sarcasm:
i've seen it with my own 2 eyes. the engine can have the same code but not be the same
i was looking at getting the 1st gen Xb intake manifold by weapon r until i learned that the Xb throttle body was cable driven and had a 3 bolt pattern where the yaris is drive by wire and has a 4 bolt pattern which meant i would have spent $700 on a manifold that i couldnt use.
i may not have the money to buy this supercharger but i have enough money to place a bet that this kit will not install without some kind of issue big or small.
if some one with the patience and money just try this kit so that this can be laid to rest and Power Enterprises Evan can start making some money. everyone will be happier in the end if we do.
now can we please stop bashing Power Enterprises Evan, its REALLY making this a boring thread

01-28-2009, 09:57 PM
This is sad...
The facts are this-
1. Just because it bolts into a JDM Yaris doesn't mean it will bolt directly into a USDM Yaris.
2. JDM and USDM actually do have minor differences in terms of body shape, wheather this encrouches into the engine bay or not is unknown (unless someone has compared the two side by side).
2. The 1NZFE code indicates the block and head only.
3. The engine management used on different cars powered by a 1NZFE varies greatly.
4. The number of belts (and what type) used to power the accessories varies between models using the 1NZFE as well.
5. A supercharger is powered by the accessory belt, so minor differences may turn into big mounting challenges.
That being said, I can't believe the seller refuses to do whatever it takes to clear up these issues. I have never seen a new kit available without a full installation and dyno to back it up. As a salesmen trying to sell a product online, I think the OP needs to step it up. However, I also think several members here need to back off so something has a chance to happen.

by "boring" do u mean entertaining? dude i have been checking on to this thread everyday, its just there is so much drama, love and hate in here lol:thumbup:HAHAHA
All i have to say is that its true, just cus the engine code is the same does not mean that it will be the same exact engine in every model that carries it. I had 2005 Rav4 with the same 2azfe engine which is the same in the tc, but the engine cover and intake are completly different, i tried to get the trd supercharger for the tc in my rav but trd said it wouldnt work because the mounts bracket etc. is completly different.
I know that in japan this kit costs 5k, so 3800 or watever power evan said in the earlier thread is not bad at all. but what i dont get is why P.E. has a superchager kit for the honda fit for about he same price and it makes 170ps, wat is up with that? will there be a stage 2 kit in future for the yaris? and if so, if i buy the current supercharger kit and later u guys come out with another more power variant will it just be a simple upgrade from the previous one or would i have to buy it entirely as a replacement?

Dont think any differently of it, its a great kit and in my opinion superior to the blitz s/c. I saw a vid of sum dude running his yaris 0-60 with a blitz super chager on youtube and i was not impressed at all, it took him 9 secs which is only 1 sec faster than stock. I think this kit is baller as hell, but i too want to see a vid or something just to confirm what i think.

A suggestion, why not take care of the tax for someone who would be interested to go to your shop and buy and install the kit? Compromise for everyone. No free kit, but the person will have a discount for being a "guinea pig", and will be able to provide detailed photos of the install. Just a suggestion.

point taken, what people dont understand on here is that Power Enterprise, backs their products, we specialize and choose certain items to create and sell, ONLY because we believe the product is worthy to put our name on it and sell it.
I realize many Americans like myself are skeptical of things on "word" or business done on a "handshake" but this company, based in Japan, follows the principles followed still by most if not a good majority of Japanese companies, that is reputation of word, company, and person is worth its wait in gold.
now this isnt, a moral competition, but at the same time people need to have a little faith that there are still companies that make and stand by what they sell and manufacture.

Thank you,
ONCE AGAIN MY OFFER STILL STANDS.....
i will take a weekend to help anyone who wants to buy the kit, even if you are the 30th purchaser of the kit....
Tell me all you "auto enthusiasts" how many of you work in the aftermarket industry?
how many of you are willing to take YOUR weekend off to help a complete stranger and your company?
Well, i'm getting paid so what do I care right?:laugh:
NOPE i am NOT getting a dime. and my offer of going to Vegas or Nor Cal, all i'm asking for is my transportation paid for, I WILL find my OWN room and board...
I'm getting commission so i'll do anything to make a sale?
NOPE, i make a hourly wage, i'm also a student, between the two splitting my hours it would take me about 6 months to buy this kit,
So for all of you bigg ballers out there that do nothing but pity and complain, step up to the plate.....
i can promise you that a good majority of you wouldnt be willing to help much less spend time off of work to respond to thread posts much less take time out of your day to make a sale for a company that isnt even paying you.
I do what i do because i enjoy the industry and am doing my best to keep the industry alive and fellow auto enthusiasts happy. THE END

One more thing, you may not care, but you certainly have lost me as a future customer.
Excellent, but that is not a suggestion, that is an indirect offer.
this kit retails for $4100, i can just cut out of here and you can find a dealer thats willing to drop the price.
i'm offering an introductry price of $3770 shipped to the upper 48 states.
PeterPOOP asked and asked for free shipping to Hawaii, so I agreed.
Since i agreed to him, to be fair i offered it to everyone else including alaska and any other US territory.
i offered my personal time for installation help, and willing to travel
Now you are asking for tax to be covered which is another $311
Sorry but at that rate, please dont bother

Well, I missed that free shipping part, so that's why I suggested to cover tax.
Again, never said I was interested, therefore, cannot see how this was an indirect offer. But the hell with it, can't do it anyway. I am no longer gonna try to help out.

Honestly, it comes through loud and clear that Evan isnt a salesman, my advice to him would be to stay in school until he actually learns to deal with people that do not need his product. I've watched this thread for 12+ pages now and only a handful of actual member questions have been answered and Evan's terrible attitude is amazing.
I pity the person who actually steps up and shells out 3700 to this guy, cant all you see if this is how you're being treated BEFORE the sale can you only imagine how you will be treated if there is an issue AFTER the sale? Sheesh....
Certain mods may claim to leave poor Evan alone yet ban and criticize others for the same exact behavior that this vendor is exhibiting. If your going to hold members to a certain standard then EVERYONE should be held to that same standard.

I just went through this thread again, so if I can add my own 2 cents, I hope you'll all pay attention.
Personally I can understand Evan's position, it's not always easy to handle a public forum like this when you are hoping to sell something, and at first he's been more than accommodating:
reduced shipping prices for Hawaii & alaska
possibility of a GB with a minimum of 5 buyers
proposed an alternative for payment plans (Credit card or Paypal)
offered to give a hand with the install of the first unit
explained why those guys who bought the kits before Rotrex approval are not eligible for a warranty (as far as I remember this was quite clear at the time too)
Explained that the kit already had a successful history, albeit in Japan so far
On the other hand, I have to agree with several other members that there are too many "maybes" in this kit. As mentioned, we still have very little knowledge of the small differences between USDM and JDM models. Those first people who bought the Blitz kits took quite some time to figure it out, heck echo_hrs still does not have his running smoothly last we heard from him. I think it would be ideal if PE and Evan could look into this and see how they can improve on that experience too. After all, most of us here are not master mechanics, yet are willing to learn and do the wrenching themselves.
So... is it a lot of money for 50HP? $75 per hp is pretty reasonable. 50HP might not sound like a lot but that's half of the stock power rating... Heck those guys with the Blitz kits are "only" doing about 130whp but it's already a sensible difference. But, this topic has already been beaten to death.
So, Evan, my advice:
If you want to sell things to end users, listen to their needs... Sure, some might ask for too much, but most people here just want to make an informed decision, nobody likes to fly blind into a multi-thousand dollar purchase. And, the best way to do this is to find someone to work with, document each step of the process, make everything as crystal clear and transparent as it must be. Saying "the kit includes everything you need" is just not good enough, as you won't know that with 100% certainty until you install the kit on a car that is truly representative of your target market.
Case in point, myself, couple years back I did some GBs for some accessories available locally, and as it turned out, even on identical cars, there were a few that just would not fit due to tiny differences, like the side mirror covers, which have a different alignment of clips. Felt like a damn fool about it, and still do.
Also, I've been asked to look into the ECU of our cars here, and the part numbers are totally different, even between cars of the same model year with the same manual transmissions. It's small differences like this that can kill the ease of installation, so we all just want to avoid this potential problem.
If you're unable to comprehend this, then don't be surprised that people react unfavorably. And, lashing back at people in this kind of situation is highly unprofessional.
So, if there is someone really serious about this, who wants to be the pioneer (sounds better than guinea pig) for this specific kit as officially sold by PE USA, please contact Evan, take him up on his offer to do the install, and let us know how it goes. Until then, I am going to close this thread, please start a new one once you have answers to the reasonable questions.
You have an amazing opportunity here to be really in touch with this community's wants and needs. Heck if you need any inspiration go look at how Jackson Racing handles the sale of similar kits on fitfreak.net, they are there each step of the way. If you can reach this level of service, you're golden.
