Blitz s/c info cont'd

[cali yaris]

OK, maybe this is old news, but I found out the Blitz supercharger kit fits our USDM car in every respect, except for one thing: the throttle body. Ours is 3-bolt and theirs is 4-bolt, or the other way 'round.

So... couldn't someone buy a throttle body from over there to go with the s/c kit?

Or... couldn't someone make a nice spacer/conversion plate to make the kit work?

comments appreciated

Hmmm...I was under the impression it was already a direct bolt on. I was considering buying it also.

[uncleyaris]

I saw one and it only needed mods to the pulleys

[cali yaris]

"at some point" isn't good enough... I want it NOW....right now. :drool:

[uncleyaris]

check out the regional forums CANADA. At our last meet in july, We had a SC blitz there. It was the same colour as echo hrs. The car launched!!I think sway posted video as well

cheers

That's Teruyume's 3 Door RS with an xB compressor retrofit...

Cheers

Whenever I try looking up any info on that setup - There are never any posts with good pics - or with a list of necessary adjustments that need to be made to the XB kit - and I've even found a few saying that he was having trouble with that kit once it was in.....Does anyone have any good info on what he did "exactly" to get it in, and i dont mean a bunch of guesses about throttle body bolt adapters....and whether its running good installed.

That would be a worthwhile DIY, rather than how to put on an exhaust or remove your rear emblems......

[cali yaris]

What I know comes from Mike at Bulletproof Automotive, who spoke to the manufacturer. I think someone's just going to have to get one over here and deal with the issues as they come up -- then report to us, of course. :wink:

Maybe it will be me, I'm pretty hot for that kit right now.

damn...$4k?

[cleong]

Rather a lump sum and a package that works right out of the box, tuning and all, than a hodgepodge package cobbled and made to work together (albeit grudgingly) and going back time and time again to tune and repair and make things run better.

[Black Yaris]

If I remember correctly this Super charger is only going to give like a 15WHP increase.... for a faily large sum of money $4k? Damn for $4k I can do a 2ZZ-GE swap and have 180WHP mounted to a 6speed out of the box, and that is NA

[RShatchback]

isnt 4k suggested retail - I guarantee that once it is out you will be able to get it for much less than that at local performance shops or online retailers who compete by not marking it up to full retail....you see the greddy kit all the time in magazines for around 3k and its on ebay from various companies for around 2k....

[Teruyume]

Seems everybody's interested at my retrofit all a sudden :tongue:

i know i should of taken pictures and publish a DIY thingy, but i did the whole thing in my garage there's not much light and my shitty cellphone camera is taking snow storm...........

honestly i did have a few problem during installation but they aren't that much a problem actually. I had made a few pictures look at them they will definitly clear things up lol

1st of all is the throttle bolt pattern, Yaris is using 4bolt and xB is 3 Bolt. I took my xB pipe to a local machine shop had the guy chop the end off and welded a new square piece on it, with the yaris throttle diameter and bolt pattern. and i made the throttle gasket myself, i got the gasket paper from Canadian Tires.

2nd the drive belt(see diagram before contiune reading). My kit comes with only 1 idler pully, and was told in the manuel to install like the picture on the right side. But after installed the belt is slipping like crazy even i adjust the tension bolt to max.
Because the yaris has to do the setup on the left. I added a Inline4 camry idler pully, and ordered the longer 4pk1715 Blitz replacement belt.

Beside these 2 things the rest of the installation is straight forward

Why somebody are saying i had trouble with it, cuz the freaking drive belt was BACK ORDERED FOR 9 FREAKING MONTHS...... i was driving the belt screaming yaris all around Toronto since jan 2006....... definitly its a awful sight how a brand new TOYOTA screaming like a beatup AstroVan.

If u are going the xB retrofit, order the drive belt in advance. Search 4PK1715 in amazon.com u will find it.

Thats exactly the kind of info i was talking about - thanks for chiming in!!

[punch]

umm and what about engine management??? does the aftermarket computer just plug in, and away you go??? and you said you had problems...

[Teruyume]

It comes with a computer(fuel management) that's direct plug and play. If u gonna do a E-manage style, u better off do your own research. Cuz i believe the OEM ECU is so smart at correcting numbers to the Ideal, wondering how the e-manage can hack that ?_? unless the e-manage can give the ECU a fake feed back signal, stopping the ECU from correcting the timing, spark, fuel..... etc.

wondering who has those computer control installed ?

[eTiMaGo]

at the moment all I can see of engine management for the Yaris is what ZPI is doing with the emanage ultimate, they have to unplug the rear O2 sensor, so as the keep the ECU in a CEL mode. When it is in CEL mode, the learning function is basically disabled so they can have full AFR adjustment ability. Or something like that, there's no elegant solution, but a workable hack.

[lostmind]

Man, I just want 20-30whp. Supercharger or turbo... just give me something!

After reading up on ZPI, I'm not sure I want to support that company... but they are the only company out with something for the yaris ;(

LOL, you don't... but anyway... my project will probably include porting and polishing and a standalone, probably AEM.

[lostmind]

cali, I'm really interested to see where you end up and how you get there :)

Hope you document your build up, will be fun to follow along.

For awhile I thought about just giving in and ordering - and everytime I get the itch, i read some post about how someone ordered something and waited weeks and never heard back or cant get any straight answers.Maybe a name brand kit with better customer service backing it up will show up eventually.

Exactly what I am hoping for. I don't want to order a kit for another vehicle and have to fool around with custom made bits n pieces. I want a solid product from a single distributor who will back it up...

I'm more then willing to pay for it too... $3k is very affordable imo.

^im not gonna go the route of spending a good amount of change to have a car that in a year or so is gonna get a better motor option and be faster.....

[RShatchback]

^im not gonna go the route of spending a good amount of change to have a car that in a year or so is gonna get a better motor option and be faster.....

So your saying that you dont want to turbo or supercharge your Yaris - because that if it becomes available with a higher HP motor in the next year, you'd rather get that? I think I'd rather get an aftermarket kit...

To me - the car is an 07, I dont think they are going to add a whole new engine option within a single year of release - i can see them doing that when they change the body style a few years down the line - like they did with the xb which got a hp increase with the TC motor. But what will the yaris have a bigger motor with 140hp?

I'd rather Turbo the yaris now, get more than 140 right now out of it rather than hope for a new engine option in the future - especially since if they do come out with a new packaged yaris - i'm def. not trading mine in for it - if this car gets traded in - its not going to be for another yaris...

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

09 the yaris will have an option for the scion xd motor along with an rs package. also if such package comes available my non power package, non split rear seat, non tach having,etc,etc,etc, yaris will be sitting in the certified used car section at my job.....

[RShatchback]

Yeah - by 09 - I probably wont be driving a yaris anymore. And if i still have it - i'd rather have it paid off with a turbo kit - that have it with a 140 or so hp xd motor in it - So heres hoping some companies get cracking on that R&D

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

^ do some research on that 130 horse motor. it seems to like being turbo-charged to the tune of around 160-170 horses.....

[RShatchback]

yeah - except, by 09 - my yaris will be paid off and i can just pick up a turbo kit and be done - and probably put out similar numbers..even zpi is doing it.
Or I can start from scratch - maybe trade this yaris in for the brand new 09 that will make similar numbers but will now have a voided warranty and sink me further in debt...to each his own on this situation

Plus - you may have patience, but I dont like to wait - i want something right now, not in 09..I've already gone through 2 sets of wheels and i'm thinking about a different set already cause i get bored easy - I doubt i'd want to continue driving the same car for so many years..then trade it in for another

[lostmind]

getting a little off track boys :)

I bought this car and don't plan to upgrade for a newer one in two years.. even if they come out with a faster, better model.

I'd rather turbo/supercharge this one and keep it as long as I can :)

[cali yaris]

hey thread-jackers... LOL... can we continue discussing the Blitz s/c now?

[lostmind]

so if everyone emails blitz, will they release a kit faster? :)

[johnnyfive]

@Teruyume: so the install wasnt that bad, but what do you think of the outcome? satisfied?

[CASTREX]

Anyone knows differences between the Blitz and the Greddy SC's? Numbers anyone? If the Blitz xB retrofit wasn't that hard... a Greddy xB retrofit shouldn't be either, right?

POssible retrofits:

At $2400 with the e-manage included doesn't look that bad...:rolleyes:
http://www.intensepower.com/gredtfturkit.html

The Blitz xb $3,100
http://www.intensepower.com/blsukitxaxb.html

and the PE xB ( heard good things about this one) $3,100

[CASTREX]

Someone got the Blitz SC into de Yar.

Someone should try the Greddy and let us know if it works....!

[NCP91 RS]

I believe that the Blitz S/C kit also comes with a switch where u can turn it into High boost mode/ low boost mode / off mode? where as Greddy don't offer that. Can someone verify this with me??
