My Yaris has just become too much of a money pit so I've decided to cut my losses and sell the kit. I wish the best of luck to whoever buys it as I really really still wanna see what this thing can do.

$2200 shipped via UPS Ground. That's pretty cheap considering I paid close to $3500 for it but I know most of you are broke so I'm trying to be merciful.

You have to go and sell it after I said something about it. I should have waited till I had money to say something about it.

i doubt you're the only one without money. that's the big reason i'm selling it. we'll see what happens i guess.

it's not much to see really... it's a supercharger for a car. and as far as numbers go i'm pretty sure it should make the car go faster. though i'm not for sure. and i'm not even being sarcastic. who knows. does anyone know really? i mean i know of like one person for sure with this kit and he doesn't seem to talk about it at all. oh well.

anyway if you really want pics here is the thread with all the info... i really hate to pull this out but oh well...

so it sounds like you installed it. did it give you any problems? did it pull hard?

no i never got it put on. so it's pretty much brand new.

just read all the threads related to your purchase. sorry to hear man.

this would be something i wouldnt hesitate on except for the fact that there are no proven numbers in the US. I wish you luck with the sale! If you were local id love to come look at the kit in person.

Gosh, I rememer this kit. I also remember thinking, "hey, they are in the same city I work in!" Actually considered beeing the test car, but the price was just a hair above my budget. From the sound of it, it's a good thing for me!
WOW. For your asking price, though, seems like a decent enough deal. Damn economy!

The supercharger unit itself, is badass, a well-respected brand with a high reputation, Rotrex. So physically, this kit should be really good, just sorta unproven...

2200usd to canada?


idk i take it shipping is usually more to canada right? i meant shipped in the US but if shipping to canada isn't too outrageous i'd be willing to eat some of the shipping costs. i really would like to get $2000 after paypal fees and shipping and what not.

i think the main reasons this was so hard to sell for evan was his attitude, the price, and the uncertainty of the product. and well the price is considerably lower and i'm not evan. the uncertainty, however, i can't do anything about. personally i think it'd be a good kit.

Subscribed. If I can sell off some items before you sell this, I may be interested. I'll keep you posted. I haven't read through the link you provided and I know you mentioned no injectors but what about management?

frownonfun
08-23-2009, 06:47 PM
this is the one with the strings attached, yes. although i bought it sans strings. and apparently without customer service also. in hindsight i should have agreed to their terms, perhaps, and maybe they would have approached this with a little more accountability but oh well. anywho i took some pics... they seem kind of unnecessary to me as the link provides a pic with all of the parts laid out all nice and pretty and i'm not fixing to open up every single bag and lay everything out to take a picture. but a few of you requested pics so here they are...


the whole kit came packed up in the big box in the center but i've yet to get everything packed back in there the way it came

this is the instructions that came with the kit. they are in japanese. so keep that in mind. it does have black and white pics of each step and someone here at YW was even nice enough to translate the wiring section into english of which i do have a copy.

that highlighted part is the one my dealership says doesn't fit my car. anyone with an '09 should take that into consideration before buying this. then again my dealership seems full of 'tards so you might be alright.

and here are a few points of interest

-A piggyback fuel controller (pre-programed & Reprogramable) included.
-Boost pressure of 0.4kg/cm2 , no inter cooler, generates 142 whp.
-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)
-YES, IT WILL WORK WITH A STOCK SETUP!! we setup our kits for "safety" there is much more room for Power!!

would you take payments on this? lol like I could give you 200 a month for ten months maybe more

edit: i mean 220 for 10 months, lol

frownonfun
08-24-2009, 12:04 AM
i really don't wanna do payments. another YW member asked me the same question previously. i guess i can't completely rule it out though. a last resort if nothing else.

oh also you'll see some injectors in the pic from that thread but it doesn't come with those. sorry.

I'm interested, but wonder why it didn't come with the injectors tho if you got it from PE USA? What injectors will it be? Lotus Elise 2ZZ? Or any 2ZZ injectors? Can you double check what's missing according to your instruction? I'm so interested and I got money on hand, ppl here knows about it, hahahahahahaha. :headbang:

ok sorry for not posting sooner. i was getting cold feet on the sale these last couple days thinking about all the money i'm losing on it but oh well, it happens i guess.

anyway, yes, the only thing that is missing is the injectors. and the instructions and part list are in japanese so i couldn't tell what injectors they were meant to be.

Is anyway you can call PE USA to find out? It's because the kit is no use without knowing what kind of injectors it uses right.

sure i'll call monday... i just assumed any upgraded injectors would do the job. but then i don't know a whole lot about this stuff.

lilredrocket
08-30-2009, 01:43 PM
With how much HP they claim this kit puts down I'm guessing that one could use 2ZZ or 2AZ injectors and be fine. If the person that bought this kit didn't want to get new injectors just retune the the piggyback for the stock injectors

True, but he said this yesterday. :P


having said all that... i think i'm just gonna drive up to dallas this coming weekend with my wife, kids, kaminari kit, and supercharger and have lilredrocket help me with the supercharger in trade for the body kit. that way i'm finally ridding myself of this cursed body kit and also getting the supercharger put on whilst not having lost anymore money in the process besides fuel. plus lilredrocket probably knows more about this car tuning stuff than i do so he can give everyone some accurate feedback on the kit install and performance.

and i feel like an ass having posted two different threads selling things just to turn around and say nevermind but it looks like that's the best deal i'm gonna get when it comes right down to it. sorry.


This is in his kaminari thread.

frownonfun
09-02-2009, 11:19 PM
yeah i been on a little big planet binge the last couple days so sorry for the delay in replying.

i guess at the end of the day i would like to have this kit on my car. that's why i bought it when no one else would. but since my dealership tried the install, and said the bracket didn't fit, i been a little apprehensive about spending anymore money to have someone else try and put it on. which is why i was selling it. but if lilredrocket is willing to help me out on the install then i'd like to go ahead and give it another try. it's not too far a drive and my wife has family up that way anyhow.

and idk it still may not fit because of some slight engine bay variation between the '09 and the older models. but that's something i'd like to know for sure instead of just taking my local service departments word for it. i should be going up to dallas on the 18th of this month. then i'll know for sure what i'm doing with this thing.

PETERPOOP
09-03-2009, 12:06 AM
well im sure if it doesn't fit the 09s in the end ( no matter what fabrication is done ), you will end up selling it. :P

This is in his kaminari thread.

Oops, I want that kit so bad. I guess he's right, if it doesn't fit 09, what's the point for me to buy it then.

WeeYari
09-03-2009, 05:59 PM
My question is 'Why wouldn't it fit the 09s?' Nothing has changed.

Good luck with this. I'm as anxious as everyone else to see a non-Blitz SC install done.

frownonfun
09-04-2009, 01:15 AM
yeah i don't know why it wouldn't fit an 09 but that's the story i got. anyway i don't think i wanna go trying to fabricate anything to fit my car either so if it doesn't fit then i'll end up selling obviously.

frownonfun
01-25-2010, 09:46 PM
as far as i know my engine has yet to blow up. being that the piggyback came pre-tuned i'm not sure what tuning i would need otherwise. unless i raised the psi. i think it's at 7 now and that's seems far too little to do any major damage in such a short time.

the kit did not fit however. the bracket in question had to be altered to fit and i don't think this issue is exclusive to the late models. pretty sure it's just a flaw in PE's design or their adaptation of the superchargers design from overseas. idk. tried to call and work with them (as i could probably make some kind of prototype bracket that would fit at my work) but they were, as usual, pretty uninterested in talking.

but it runs good. there is a video up somewhere on here of a few of us hot rodding it up and down this paved strip within an undeveloped housing community. the videos leave quite a bit to be desired because for one i wasn't all that good at driving it then but i've gotten better. but it's like i told someone else... it's really only as fast now as i think it should have been from the factory. but thats just my opinion.

LOL. The car runs nice with it. He dyno'd around 130, If I recall correctly. The dyno sheet is on here somewhere. We went the same day, and it was obviously stronger and spun-up a lot quicker than my NA car.

His car is what I imagine a TS would be like. Then I cry a little when I realize we'll never get one in the US...

Just curious, from whom? If PE said it, it might have to do with the fuel management, not physical fitment.

the service department at my local toyota dealership told me that. actually they didn't necessarily say it doesn't fit the '09. they just told me it wouldn't fit my car. i went on to assume that this must be because i have an 09. because surely power enterprise wouldn't go selling a kit that doesn't fit at all on any us model yaris. lol. silly me for thinking that.
