^ thanks :bow:

We have a full range of parts, pretty much what is available to make your car faster.

motor swaps have been discussed, do a search here to find them. interesting stuff, but aside from one 4AGE swap, i don't think anyone has done it.

You can do what Garm did to prep for force induction. Replace the internals, port and polish, as well as the things Peterpoop mentioned.

That's pretty much all you can do with the 1NZFE engine. IMHO more than enough really if you know how to drive the Yaris, and more fun with a well-sorted suspension :)

Micro Image / Garm is a fantastic guy to deal with, no BS, replies quickly and tells you what really works and doesn't just keep pushing stuff to you.

im sure suspension will be where i put most money into. i love twisty turnies on the back roads. i just hope its not a top heavy car.

If you set it up right it won't have that much body roll

the 1zz is the same engine as the 1.5? or is it a 1.6 corolla engine?

the 1zz-fe is the 1.8l, the corolla and matriz throttle bodies on the 1.8L that uses drive-by-wire will work.

WITH THE 1ZZ THROTTLE BODY YOU CAN EXPECT MORE RESPONSE FROM YOUR ENGINE.
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GO TO BUY IT ITS A REALLY NICE INEXPENSIVE MODS TO GO WITH.

THIS IS JUST MY GUESTIMATION BUT 3-5HP COULD BE EXPECTED WITH SUPPORTING MODS I/H/E

do they make a intake man. and cams for the yaris?

intake manifold is in testing and prototyping, not currently production, and cams have to be custom ground ( as far as I know)
