Installing Blitz Supercharger - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

For the record. I don't have any problems with pre-ignition right now. I use Shell V-Power every fillup.

PETERPOOP · 02-25-2009, 11:28 PM

You are just running lean right now, correct? Tc injectors will fix this? Did you change your sparkplugs?

LtNoogie · 02-25-2009, 11:34 PM

I changed to the same spark plugs camelll is using. Maybe I'm just lucky. When the weather heats up and if the engine runs hotter, I'll know if I have a problem then.

I'm pretty sure that the Japanese (and Europeans) have a different octane rating system... I think it tends to be about 5 points higher for the same quality gas. So maybe closer to 95 North American octane might be more appropriate.

I try to always fill up at one of the few local Sunocos... 94 octane!

LtNoogie · 02-25-2009, 11:36 PM

Wow, we've really threadjacked Whooppee's thread but this should be good info for him to think about.

ae92trueno7 · 02-25-2009, 11:36 PM

i'm just using the stock spark plugs... i dont think i will be able to start my car with those plugs.... its like -30 in canada.... haha

LtNoogie · 02-25-2009, 11:47 PM

Wow, just a few more people from Whooppee's list and we will have a quorum of the YW Boosted Jedi.

yeah there's Octane Number and Research Octane Number, which means some differences... For example our 91 octane here is equivalent to 87 octane in the US, our 95 is your 91, etc...

whooppee777 · 02-26-2009, 10:26 PM

i havent heard any weird noises. but there is the odd random lean condition which happens cruising on highways. seems like preignition to me. im hoping sparkplugs will fix that. theyre going on tomorrow morning

Hmmm... I see my user name has been repeated three times... this has invoked my spirit, so here I am back from The Beyond...

Congrats on your fast install Whooppee!

I was about to be jealous of your success but then your idler pulley fell off!

I think I still win the award for loosest nuts... loooooong story

I'm also glad--well, not glad--gratified maybe--to learn that the rest of you are experiencing similar tuning issues. I've had a few baffling problems (idle control and voltage fluctuation problems) but in the end these were easily fixed, and unrelated to the pre-ignition. As Long stated, I was getting that distinctive "crackling" sound (sorta like furiously sizzling bacon) the first time hammering the throttle under load in any driving session (very much like what Camelll describes). I drive with it on Low most of the time--no other acceleration issues, just smooth power delivery in every gear. I installed NGK iridium 7 spark plugs before the compressor, and only used 93 octane fuel, so gas treatment was about the only adjustment I could make. Much better, though not gone altogether.

BUT I got the cheapee STP stuff--the Lucas or NOS products are better? Where did you buy?

hey it ran with no problem for about 4 hours. if i wasnt so damn tired and excited to just drive the car, i probably would not have tightened the pulley enough.

this could probably be taken the wrong way for a random user skimming through the thread. care to elaborate?

I was just kidding Whoppee, I was very impressed by the speed and success of your install... my own car was out of commission for more than three weeks

making mine the slowest install of all so far

Haha sure! Sorry, I forgot that not everyone remembers I'm female, so I could only be referring to the engine's nuts

During my install the new manifold did not seat properly on the cylinder head, which is why though the nuts felt tight, I had a leak that caused all sorts of problems. In going over every connection for the bajillionth time I pressed down hard on the manifold... it slid those last few millimeters down over the studs at last! and my "tight" nuts were suddenly loose. Torqued them down and problem solved

Later I was having intermittent voltage fluctuation and finally discovered my connection on the alternator was bad. All the vibration basically "walked" the nut right off the terminal post... new nut and lock washer, problem solved again.

Oh... I think we're about tied for slowest, KK!!

Glad to see you back!

Sizzling bacon, huh? Wow... I've never had any of the issues you guys are all talking about. I got my own weird set of issues... I'm pretty sure they're fuel related. Or a bad crimp somewhere. Worst thing is that it's totally intermittent!

Anyhow... Blitz on!

whooppee777 · 02-27-2009, 07:34 PM

i must be deaf cuz i dont hear this sizzling bacon noise when i'm boosting. but i had been filling up with premium probably 3 weeks before i installed.

turboyaris · 02-27-2009, 09:07 PM

it sounded like a million screaming babies when he was pulling outta my driveway hahaahha

LtNoogie · 02-27-2009, 09:16 PM

Today was hot and I ran the air conditioner today. S/C was set to OFF. That growling rattling noise was back. One of us needs to figure out what is causing that.

PETERPOOP · 02-28-2009, 01:16 AM

You guys are scaring me.

LtNoogie · 02-28-2009, 02:19 AM

Turbo kits scare me. They all seem custom. You're kinda on your own.

We Blitz owners all share identical setups and can help each other out.
