2012 mods/Parts - Toyota Yaris Forums

randydid · 12-01-2011, 11:21 AM

Hello,

Less than 12 hours after purchase of my 5 door SE, I am already to start modding! After some Google-ing, I see that Eibach is looking for owners in the CA area for prototyping springs. Wish I lived there, will someone PLEASE get their '12 over there to them??!

CAI-I have added them to cars in the past-a great bolt on mod for a few extra HP's. I had issues with the one I had on my 2007 Matrix and had to install a Greddy Blue for MAF tweaking. It was a headache and I will be looking for a better solution for the Yaris-hopefully one that does not throw the air-fuel mix way out of spec.

I imagine that a header for a 2007-2011 might just fit. Anyone brave enough to try? I might take a shot at it with a DC Sports THC4407. Any thoughts on this?

I know that the one painful thing about early adopting is waiting for these parts to be manufactured.

Looking forward to thoughts and ideas.

No need, the old stuff fits. Other than the sheet metal the only difference we have found so far is the ECU.

SWEET! I love interchangeable parts!

I still wonder about routing with a CAI... or is a SRI a better bet?

Thanks!

We have the standard K&N setup on our 2012. Now, I did not use the heat shield - we never have because we typically go for a smaller battery and relocated it, and the heat shield is less effective with the battery gone - so I can't say if it would need to be trimmed to fit under the hood, but the rest of the system works perfect.

I test drove a 2012 and spent some time poking around under the hood. Based on what I saw, I believe that 06-11 engine related mods (Blitz supercharger, intakes, exhaust manifolds, etc.) will work without issue. I also have the EWDs and have found that many electrical system mods (like adding cruise control) are the same as for the 06-11.

So you think we can do the $40 cruise control mod on the 12's

Yes.

Is your car manual?

Scubaru Steve · 12-02-2011, 09:35 AM

im still waiting for delivery of mine, but i have already purchased a afe intake from micro.
and planning on the dc sports header. i was assured at toyota that intakes and exhausts from the 11 hatch fit the 12 hatch.

Strider199 · 12-03-2011, 02:11 PM

Reading here that only the body has changed on the 2012 yaris, is it OK to assume that an older model trailer hitch would fit the new model?
I too am still awaiting my 2012 3 door manual black Yaris. This Wed. is scheduled as delivery day.

Scubaru Steve · 12-03-2011, 02:47 PM

mine is between the 19th and 23rd.

U-Haul seems to have one already which seems ambitious, it may fit-I too am interested in a receiver hitch for my 5 door.

Will the center armrest on 2011 Yaris fits on 2012 Yaris ?

enviri · 12-04-2011, 09:27 AM

i wonder how much of a headache it is to adapt the blitz supercharger's maps to the '12 ecu?

Unfortunately does not look like it will work.

Blitz and Power Enterprise both already have piggy-back setups for the 2012 cars in Japan. PE show the 2012+ SC kit as shipping and the Blitz one shows as to be released soon.

mircrothunder · 12-05-2011, 03:44 PM

do you know if the vitz badges will fit the 2012 ?
