Yaris TS Performance Parts Compatibility Thread

[CASTREX]

As you must know, there is almost ZERO support on performance parts specific for our cars as of today.
This situation lead us to look at other Toyota cars for parts compatible to us.

The intention of this thread is for you to post CONFIRMED compatible parts for the Yaris TS.

:w00t:

[CASTREX]

Yaris suspension components.

I have installed a Tein Coilover system from a US spec Yaris into my TS with no further problem or modification involved.

I know of a couple of members also using the H&R lowering springs. These springs are also offered for the regular and the US spec Yaris, therefore we can say the other Yaris suspension components (Springs, performance shocks and coilovers) will work on our cars.

US spec Yaris TRD rear Sway Bar.

I believe this one is hard to find outside the US, but I believe there are other Yaris rear sway bars.

Here is a Pic of a US spec TRD rear sway bar installed on my TS:

US Yaris leather shift boot from Redline goods:

Mine is black leather with JDM red stiching to match my Razo weighted Shift Knob.

[CASTREX]

I didn't wanted to go for a K&N replacement filter since there is not much gains other than not having to change the filter any more.:frown:

First I went for a "semi" Short ram intake.
To do it I removed the hole filter plastic box assembly keeping only the OE plastic housing for the MAF sensor.
The I just installed a High Flow filter directly to the MAF housing and made a small bracket to hold the intake in place. I used a HKS mushroom filter since I really like the look of those ... :biggrin:

Then, a few weeks ago a reputable US intake manufacturer FUJITA announced the release of their new CAI (Cold Air Intake) for the US Scion xD car. (Toyota IST in Japan).

For those who don't know, the Scion xD is based on the Yaris chassis and the US version comes equipped with the 2ZR-FE 1.8L engine.
So I took the chance and ordered one of these to try it on the Yaris TS.

The result: Is and ALMOST fit..! The only part that doesn't fit 100% is a bracket used to secure the pipe that is a little shorter than it should for our cars.
Other than that, the Scion xD CAI works perfectly on our cars. See below a picture of the cai installed on my TS.

I found that the bracket is not required so it won't prevent the correct function of the intake. The air filter is relocated right below the headlight and it sit there really snugged. So there pipe is not moving around...

I have had the intake installed for a few weeks with no problem at all.

[CASTREX]

Update with new parts:

1)Scion xD AFE Intake, works on the TS.

2) NST Short shift kit (SSK) Will only work on the 07/08 5 speed TS. It will NOT work on the 6speed shifter.

3) NST Cable Metal Bushings. Will work on on the 5speed TS. Not yet confirmed on the 6speed but it looks like it would work.


4) NST underdrive pulley for the Scion xD. Works like a charm on all TS with the 2ZR engine.


5) TRD Brake pads for the Scion xD. These WON't work on the Yaris TS. Although they are the same shape and height, the Xd pads are a little bit longer than the TS pads.
(I will be attempting to machine some these pads to make them fit)

will it fit with the Shifter extension?

[CASTREX]

Redline boots are quite long.... I have to folded mine to make it fit alright.

So I guess it can work with about 1.5" longer stick.

You can also request a longer boot when you are orderinng from redline.

how did u manage to fit it behind the headlight is it a tight space did u have to take anything out

[CASTREX]

It fits... a bit tight but it does. I've had it there for over a year now.

Another good option is the AFE intake for the xD. that leaves the filter on top.:wink:

do u mean the stage 2
not the cai?

[CASTREX]

do u mean the stage 2
not the cai?

yes that one.

They actually call it a cai as they privide some form of enclousure for it. many members with the 1.5L yaris have it and their are very happy with it.

You can get the xD afe cai from caliyaris (forum sponsor and AFE distributor) he ships worldwide fyi

[oxide666]

ah wkd will have to pm him bin looking for some parts so hard to find n get to uk thanks for info

How about a set of HEADERS for the TS? Anyone with any experience? Compatibility?

Nope. Nothing yet. a compnay has been working on some headers for the scion xd that should fit our car... but nothing has came out to the market yet!!

Anyone know if the Cat-Back exhaust being sold for Yaris 1.3 or 1.5 can be used on a 1.8 TS?

[CASTREX]

What cat back??? Is there a cat back for the Yaris?


I think Magnaflow came up with one sometime ago but the price was crazy.


Custom exhaust FTW!

Sorry Castrex. My Bad.... "Axle Back"

But, do you know if they fit the TS?

[CASTREX]

The axlebacks will bolt on... as the exhaust is the same. However I'm not sure at how the exhaust tips would line up with the TS bumper. You know since our bumper has that shape for the exhaust tip. The tip from some of the US axlebacks might not align properly... and that would look really bad.

IMO... go custom! I can give you some suggestions depending on what you are currently looking for. I actually have 2 custom exhaust for my TS... a loud one and a semi quite one... I can swap them in a matter of 15min.

Another reason why the custom route is better than the off the shelf axleback is because you can get rid of the tiny and crushed pipe that goes from the cat back to the axle. :thumbdown:

[tcpty]

OK, Thanks for all the info! I just wanted to know if the exhaust were "compatible" And, yes, the tip was a concern of mine with our rear bumpers and the bolt-on compatibility for our TS's

There are quite a few options available for the Yaris. I would definitely would not go "loud" but wanted a freer flow than stock to continue the small performance gains. IMO "loud" does not necessarily means faster and a well "proven" or R&D'd aftermarket exhaust is worth the money because of "that" proven track record if they can back up their gains claim. Time sheets do not lie.

[CASTREX]

The problem is that achieving high flow and quietness at the same time would be close to imposIble!! Most axlebacks for the Yaris are really loud.

This is what I did...

I replaced the entire exhaust from the cat back. I even went as far as removing the secondary cat. Yes, in case you haven't noticed our cars come with 2 cat converters. I removed the secondary one and haven't had any problems.. the car passes the emissions testing and all.

I used 2.25" diameter pipe all the way back.

Initially I used 2 round Magnaflow mufflers. 1 installed in place of the OE pre-silencer and the other one at the back right before the tip.

The car felt great!! and the sound was awesome...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Pp1IuJzG8

But it was a little too loud... a bit annoying specially during long trips...

So I had a flanger welded right over the axle and made a second axleback section using a chambered oval muffler...

I can still feel a difference over stock and the sound is just a bit louder than stock...

Good thing that I can swap between the 2 axlebacks in a matter of 15 min. From the straight thru Magnaflow to the Chambered one... :thumbup:

Usually drive around with the chambered muffler and install the Magnaflow when I go for out for a fast drive.

When I get to complete my turbo set up I'll just keep the magnaflow as the turbo should help a bit with the noise...

[oxide666]

Sorry Castrex. My Bad.... "Axle Back"

But, do you know if they fit the TS?

there is a few i have sin
a sebring axleback i orderd will be instaling as soon as i get and a TRC/fox
sebring ment to be gd not to loud not sure about the trc

[chongopants]

Yeah good info.

[Danish Yaris]

Hi

I tried to install my Tanabe Touring Medalion exhaust last week. It won´t fit the TS as the tail pipe is placed to the right for the tail pipe cut in the rear bumper, so it doesn´t look good at all.

Regards Steven.

[CASTREX]

Good to know...

That's what I was afraid.... the tip not aligning properly with the bumper.

[tcpty]

Thanks for the heads-up Steven!

As Castrex said, good to know what works and what doesn't!

[oxide666]

sebring fits well no probshttp://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs066.snc3/13331_343163395499_574495499_9715626_5806388_n.jpg

[barebonedvitz]

will the TS engine fit the US spec yaris?

[tofuufot]

no one knows?

[tk-421]

I don't see why it wouldn't.

[barebonedvitz]

it should right? has anyone tried it yet?

[barebonedvitz]

it should right? anyone know who's done it yet?

[lammy29]

just wondering oxide666, where you get the sebring from?

[CASTREX]

it should right? anyone know who's done it yet?

You do realize the TS engine is the same as the scion xd and the scion xd and yaris share the same chasis platform.

In other words you just need an engine and a ECU out of a XD to do the swap.

No one has done it because the gains do not justify the investment. If you have a yaris with a broken engine on ther other side... this swap would make a lot of sence

[Danish Yaris]

Hi

I was wondering if you could swap the ECU with one from a Toyota Avensis/Auris/Verso 1,8 Dual VVT-I? They have got 147hp. instead of the 133hp. in our Toyota Yaris 1,8 TS.
Look at the specifications here: http://www.toyota.dk/cars/new_cars/avensis/fullspecs.aspx

I think it´s the same engine, so I would think it´s just the ECU that´s decide the amount of hp.
Does anybody know if it could be done?

Regards Steven.

[kr1]

Hi.

It´s not the same engine. So, swapping ecu makes no different for yaris.

[Danish Yaris]

Hi

Are you sure it´s not the same engine, as they are both 1,8 Dual VVT-I? It´s not a VVTL-I like the Toyota Corolla TS.

Regards Steven.

[shtou]

it's not.check this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_ZR_engine#2ZR-FE

the new 1.8L (147HP) engine has 2ZR-FAE and TS engine has 2ZR-FE code.one letter is missed from our engine :biggrin:.the diference betwwen torque is not much-5NM.and the new engine has Valvematic system.

Just wondering if the in cabin shifter fits and both of the brushings aswell.

Hi All,

I have a question regarding to the speedometer cluster of my yaris sedan 07. I'm interesting in swapp the cluster for a 2010 the only different is that mine just have one clock and the 10 has 2 one for the miles and the other for RPM but I'm not sure if I do a swapp the RPM gonna works or just is plug and play? excuse me for the inglish I'm from PR so someone could help on this, please. Thanks

ya pretty i've been aware ever since the new engine came out... i was just wondering if this 1.8 would have different mounts... but since no one has done it... i guess i'll just have to do my own homework on this.. thanx castrex :)

[captaincrunch]

I hav a stock intake with just a regular k&n filter. Do you think upgrading to a CAI would make of a difference? I need something to do on my car so if a did that I might get a throttle body spacer too.

[carlghoul]

I want to use my Yaris hatchback on rough backroads, so I could use more ground clearance. The Scion xd has 6 1/2" ground clearance vs the Yaris' 5 1/2". Anyone know the length of the xd's springs?

is the rear sway bar easy to fit?

How much of a difference you get with the NST pulley?

It just improves the will of the car to rev in simple words right?

No actual hp gain or.....

on the site it says that ~8HP more.members who installed it say it feels some gain.i'm thinking to buy one for me.

[PumpkinSteve]

I'm interested in the NST pulley but there's a video on youtube of a failed pulley, bearings came loose in the centre or something...now I'm worried.

I have '05 Echo brake parts that I was going to put on my Echo hatchback before it was totaled in an accident.

Now I'm looking to purchase a 2011 Yaris. Does anyone know if my '05 Echo brakes (Rotors, pads and brake lines) will fill on an '11 Yaris.

Thanks

Can anyone help me or pixelpusher with what other cars parts fit a 2005 echo hatchback?
I read Scion xA and xB models do, at what age range do they work for the echo?
I'm really looking for suspension parts,
