Engine mods - why bother? - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

why? · 08-06-2006, 12:38 PM

Its about embarissing others more than anything. Taking a Yaris and making it faster than cars twice as expensive.

The choice is always between mpg or hp.

However, a new intake, a full exhaust system, lightened flywheel, etc, things that will free up hp by removing restrictions and weight should not shorten the life of the engine.

Those mods will EXTEND the life of a well maintained engine as well as add more power.

Not to bash, but if more stress is put on the motor it will wear out faster, thats a physics law. Put enough stress on a piece and it will eventually break, even if it takes a while.

i say wait for a turbo. Till then we can find out where/how to beef up the internals and prep for the change. My friend with a turbo s2k colored his intercooler black for the sleeper affect. If I had to go boost with the yaris/s2k, i would probably do the same.

I can use the down time to explain "why" we need boost to my gf.

Although made for the same motor, I dunno what would fit in the new Yaris. However, an HKS kit would be nice. That, and some forged internals.

WOW, nice web!

If you notice one of the options they give is the 4E-FTE which I believe that I had mentioned earlier...I wonder how much is involved....the Echo and Yaris didn't share the same motor mounts with the Starlet and Tercel for example did they???

i want my yaris to get 150 200 hp. not much even if it cost me 10k i will be able to say i am one of the guy who have a yaris turbo in canada lol

Kr0n1k · 08-21-2006, 04:23 PM

150hp is most likely pretty obtainable with a turbo kit, seems as though the Blitz SC kits have put down 141whp on a dyno a couple of times on xA's/xB's on ScionLife, I would think with out the parastic losses of turning a compressor, a turbo kit such as the Greddy kit for the 1NZFE should easily put down 150whp. What hasn't really been disscused anywhere, is porting and polishing the head, or any type of valve work.

soros151 · 08-21-2006, 04:27 PM

Here you go, info on port and polish on the 1NZ-FE...

Guys unfortunately we seem to be forgetting that these turbo kits etc that are available for the Scion Xb/MK1 Yaris/Vitz are designed to work in bigger engine spaces (lets admit the new Yaris doesn't have the most room under the bonnet). So these kits will fit, but will need a lot of modifications to fit the new Yaris properly. as for the 4e-fte sawp, can't say i see it happening in the new yaris

OxyG3nE · 08-21-2006, 07:47 PM

soros151.. without puttinga turbo its possible to get like 24hp ? like in the post u puted

soros151 · 08-22-2006, 12:51 AM

Not enough room!? Dude, open your hood again and check. There is a LOTTT of room there. I think there has been enough arguments about space. I think that if there is space for a 2ZZ, there is enough room for a turbo kit.

soros151 · 08-22-2006, 12:54 AM

I actually read the whole thing for the 1NZ, but it was a long time ago. Sorry if I don't remember all the details, but I think that he eventually even lose some power when they did something to the stock intake manifold. They actually make some good points on the 1NZ.
