2012 L with SE front, SC and other racing goodies

[Dliverance]

Hi gang. I made the upgrade to a 2012 from my 2008. I’ll be putting all of my other oarts on the new car. For those of you who haven’t seen my other thread, I have some BC racing coilovers, a Recaro seat, Sparco wheel, some volk TE37V’s and a power enterprise supercharger that will be going on the new car.

I will also be swapping the front end of the ‘12 to an SE front end. I think I’ll have the only two door SE car :). So far I’ve ordered everything I need and I’m just waiting for parts to show up. Hopefully the bumper reinforcement and headlights are the same. Here’s an almost complete list of the parts I’m using. The only part that I ordered that’s not on this list is the chrome surround piece for the lower dam. I ordered that the next day.

I can list the part numbers individually if someone else wants them. All in it cost me about $380 for the parts. Fog lights not included since I already had them from my other car.

Had some fun today. Trying to get the 08’ ready to sell.

I just ordered my seat bracket and steering wheel hub. I feel like I have more oarts than I have time for installs.

[Runethecursed]

Welcome to that DoD life. hahaha

I've had my AFR gauge and o2 bung in a parts bin to be added to the Yaris but I cant justify the downtime yet..

It sucks a bit but I’ll have more than enough time in about 3 weeks.

I just impulse purchased more parts too. I was on the hunt for a modellista lip and instead I ordered the modellista grill and a Tom’s Spoiler. These Japanese auction sites make it really easy to spend all of your money.

Here’s an actual pic of the grill and a stock photo of the grill and spoiler.

I’m still on the hunt for the modellista lips but I’m going to have to wait a while for those parts. The rear SE conversion isn’t high priority for me at the moment but I would like to make it happen.

[DarkShadowFox]

y! auction has modellista lips

Oh man. I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find one on there. Maybe I’m calling it something wrong.

My coilovers came in today. I’m really hoping to get them installed this weekend.

:iono: parts go quick. xinjii or how ever you say it is trying to pick all the parts off the internet for flip profit go bug them lmao.

[Dliverance]

Hmmm. I’ve never heard of them and google yielded no results. I’ll try harder after work. Thank you sir.

[Dliverance]

Welp...the spoiler I ordered was discontinued. I guess it’s back to the drawing board.

On a good note though, my bumper is the last front end but that I’m waiting for for the conversion. I spoke with my body guy today and he started getting the color ready. I took two days off of work and I now have a total of five days to install my coilovers, bumper and supercharger as well as get some relaxing in.

[Dliverance]

Off to the paint shop :D

I started to tackle my coilovers today. I’m pretty sure I took a lot longer than I should have but I’m okay with that because I was thorough. I even got the opportunity to make a tool because the fronts are such a pain in the butt to get out.

It’s still on jackstands because I have to mount the SE bumper tomorrow after I pick it up from the paint shop. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.

[Dliverance]

I am absolutely in love with this car. The coilovers and front end really complete it. I took it for a drive around some twisties and it seems a bit light in the rear but I’ll play with the dampening a bit some other day.

Most police dont care in that regard, alotta old school muscle cars didnt come with provisions for it. we had a mk4 supra with no front plate and the only people who got outchy about it where the base police.. :thumbdown:

[justanotherdrunk]

havent had a front plate on >20 cars in 40 years never an issue

[ern-diz]

They'll pop you here in SoCal. I keep mine on because a faint scratch line developed that you'd be able to see without the front plate on and my plates are personalized, so I actually like having the front one on.

[Dliverance]

My modellista grille came in yesterday But I didn’t get a chance to test fit it until I got out of work at 2 am. I’m going to grab some fresh double sided tape today and fit it permanently.

seeing how he got his modellista grille from the net. its actually a rare part and looks nice. if he got the lower rear lip and front lip too. and modellista skirts.

rare =/= nice though but its better then the stock grille.

[Dliverance]

Thanks guys. I know some people don’t like the grill but I love it. That wasn’t the best pic but I think it makes the front end look more aggressive. I really want the full lip kit but I’m torn because I also like the rear bumper and tail lights from the 2015+. Something about the reverse lights looks really good to me.

you can buy my 2015 lights ill trade you for G's lights

[Dliverance]

My lights are stock ‘12 lights. I’d do the trade if you want to still. I guess I need to order a newer bumper and garnish soon lol

[bradbowl]

It's great to see your cool mods. They make me want to spend money... Haha!

[DarkShadowFox]

sorry m8 unless you have the JDM tail lights i can be trading my taillights their in perfect condition and are original OEM and arent easy to come by. Plus their from me so you know its been maintained as well as something you buy off the internet.

you want my front bumper too? Currently trading for a 2012-2014 pre face lift yaris hybrid bumper. you can do an easy SE upgrade for minimal money. you'd have to repaint it on your own terms but thats a 600 grit easy job.

52119-0d450 is the bumper im looking for.

no shark mouth's and no 2013 "sport etc bumpers" are accept here, soz.

if i wanted those i could get them off the US.

the only thing that the front bumper of mine might have is a mild bend and some cracked clips when i ran into a pile of snow in my driveway and snow plowed it by accident, and when james and his friends tried to get my front upper off to remove a badge.

i mighht be able to offer my rear bumper too, but thats still gonna come with conditions. remember they only import 25k a year of the yaris 3rd gen so i cant part my with parts so easy. we can work something out but im a hard sell. the 2012 lights are just red and white, nothing too special.

also my rear fog attachment is not for sale as you will need the entire harness and i cant part with that because its kinda attached to alot of things. lol.

[Dliverance]

Just finished my first half of the first event with this car. The BC coilovers are AMAZING. I didn’t realize that the adjustment tool doesn’t frickin fit though. I’m running he fronts at full soft and the rears at 15 clicks from full stiff. It’s doing great.

I have two entries, AM and PM. Am was before I figured out that you have to hold the traction control for 7 seconds to kill the vsc. It greatly helped my launches.

[Runethecursed]

Contact Scott and spnywoosh for the anti blue sticker gang. Haha but looks good in running a similar set up with my own tiens. A rear sway bar only helps alot


I also love the way the front end looks. i wonder if I could somehow throw on the later model front on my ncp90...

Super cool.

What’s the anti blue sticker gang all about and do you mean you run a similar spring rate? I went 5k front, 6k rear to eliminate the need for a rear sway bar. I did have some understanding this weekend but I had no adjustability in the front

[Runethecursed]

I meant shock valving, Im full hard on the rears and the fronts are midway to low, but I also havea huge rear sway bar and a front k member brace and SFC's so its a little stiffer all around

[Dliverance]

Ah. So far, my coilovers are behaving the way I want them to. This venue has two big turn arounds. Usually one in the beginning and one in the end of a course. I had no issues with the first one but I would understeer a bit on the second one. I’m not sure if I should blame myself or my tires. I also went in pretty damn hot. I don’t think I will be needing a rear sway bar yet but I will see how the car does in the next event. I’m also bringing along a friend of mine to help dial it in. He’s Tomago on the forum here. He’s pretty suspension saavy so his advice will go far. I believe he made the suspension sticky here.

As for the magnets, I usually order from magnets on the cheap but those Castrol magnets really move me.

[ern-diz]

He’s Tomago on the forum here.

That name rings a distant bell...

im the one who designed those magnets for Scott.. ;)

[Dliverance]

He drove a turbo XA and a spyder but he also made Yaris rear hub spacers and toe shims.

You sir are awesome.

I just ordered the traction fluid I needed for the supercharger. My car will be going under the knife for the install within the next two weeks. I’m looking forward to the bump in power. I also ordered a Megan axleback. My car needs full exhaust but I need some sound. I’ll be getting a header and full cat back soon.

I’m on the fence about ordering a TRD rear sway bar but I’m not entirely sure I need it yet. The car handles like it’s on rails as is and I don’t want to ruin that.

Sard Makes a cat section ( with cat) that's supposed to be a drop in replacement

and I wouldnt change anything suspension wise till you get more wheeltime

I need to look into that sard part. As for seat time, I agree. I need to learn the behavior of this car a bit more. One event is too little to make a decision about the car. I was hoping it would behave like the other FWD cars I’ve autox’d but it’s a completely different machine.

[Dliverance]

I just scored a pretty decent deal. eBay is giving 20% off with a coupon so I grabbed a rear sway bar for $156 shipped and new. My exhaust came in yesterday but I think I might wait until the bar comes to install it.

[Runethecursed]

awesome, I didnt know Ebay had a 20% off coupon... I think Ill pass this time. I really want to start exhaust work on my car now

[Dliverance]

It was only for today. If anyone is interested it’s pickdadsgift at checkout. I guess it’s a Father’s Day promotion. I didn’t expect it to actually work but it did.

[Runethecursed]

Dad gifts are car parts right?

[Dliverance]

Lol I’m guessing it was anything. I was able to use it on the sway bar and a main breaker for my house.

Got my Megan acleback on today. I was expecting more sound but I can hardly hear it over the loud federals. Did pretty good at today’s event though. I’m hoping the sway bar will be here this week so I can have it installed for the next event.

[Dliverance]

I also need to lower the rear. That’s as low as it goes in that picture. I need to remove the adjustable perches to go lower.

[Dliverance]

So the supercharger kit is for a 2ng gen and I didn’t realize the ecu’s were different between the 2nd and third gen. The piggyback needs tapped into the tach, maf, o2 sensor, and power. I was able to figure out all of the 2nd gen wiring but I can’t find a pinout for a 2012 ecu anywhere.

The previous owner also said that power enterprise told him to leave out the wire for the o2 to get rid of the check engine light that he was having. This seems odd to me. The controller tricks the maf and has a vacuum line hooked up to see how much boost it’s making but it doesn’t seem right to not have the controller hooked up to the o2.

I’m going to keep looking for a 2012 ecu pinout and try to get in touch with power enterprise tomorrow. I don’t feel right without the controller knowing if it’s adding the right amount of fuel.

You should find it and share the wealth

[Dliverance]

I got sent an email off to power enterprise. They have a kit specific to the 3rd gen and it uses the same controller so that’s good. I asked them for the installation manual for my year. Hopefully they get that sent off soon. I really want to get the kit installed before the next event.

Score

[Dliverance]

It’s been a long few days of dealing with this piggyback. I finally got an email back from power enterprise and they were super helpful. They sent me the wiring diagram for the ncp131 but unfortunately, they use a newer controller. The new controller from them would have cost me about $1200 shipped but while I was looking, I found the mapecu3 looks remarkably similar to the power enterprise pmap controller. The connectors and wire colors are all the same. After learning this, I started looking for mapecu controllers. The mapecu3 (newest model with features I don’t need) costs about $650 new but I was able to find the mapecu gen 1 for $200. The only problem now is that the map ecu 1 has one 18 pin connector and the 3 has an 18 and a 16. Right now I’m waiting for an email back from mapecu to get a copy of the diagram for the gen 3. Once I get that, the only thing I need is the map for the ncp131 from power enterprise.

It sounds like a complicated cluster f but it’s really not that bad. Best part is that I’ll be able to sell the 07-11 piggyback to recoup some funds for the mapecu purchase.

[Dliverance]

I was able to find the pinout for the newer mapecu. I need the 2 or 3 to run the supercharger. The gen 1 doesn’t have ignition timing capabilities. I was able to find the pinout and identify the wires on the ecu side too. The good news is that power enterprise got ahold of me and let me know that it’s the same programmer and their map will work. I’m just trying to source a gen 2 now. I’m pretty stoked.

If it fits on a 2012 it will fit on a 2014.

[iam_elmanny]

Hi gang. I made the upgrade to a 2012 from my 2008. I’ll be putting all of my other oarts on the new car. For those of you who haven’t seen my other thread, I have some BC racing coilovers, a Recaro seat, Sparco wheel, some volk TE37V’s and a power enterprise supercharger that will be going on the new car.

I will also be swapping the front end of the ‘12 to an SE front end. I think I’ll have the only two door SE car :). So far I’ve ordered everything I need and I’m just waiting for parts to show up. Hopefully the bumper reinforcement and headlights are the same. Here’s an almost complete list of the parts I’m using. The only part that I ordered that’s not on this list is the chrome surround piece for the lower dam. I ordered that the next day.

I can list the part numbers individually if someone else wants them. All in it cost me about $380 for the parts. Fog lights not included since I already had them from my other car.
