Bullshit it's possible. Just drop in an ls9 and make it RWD

If you plan an engine swap I suggest you go for the 4EFTE Startlet engine. Very likely to perform above 200Bhp without serious modifications although I cannot assure if it fits on an 08 yaris.

if it fits in an xA i'm sure it'll fit a Yaris even better, due to the Euro standards for pedestrian safety.

the issue with the 4EFTE is fuel delivery. the block and head can be left alone, but one MUST deal with the injectors and fuel rail (cyl4 tends to lean out with stock fuel rail)

it's an excellent platform though

...that turbo kit is partly crap. the log mani is good, the downpipe doesn't fit (hits the subframe). The lines are all the wrong length.

5 of us have now failed to tune the car with the AEM Fi-C. So it's complete bullshit if they are telling you to tune the car with that. Ask for dynos, wiring diagrams and pictures of it installed in a car.

Sorry, just being real here -- I've been working on mine for many months and it's not done yet. Next phase will solve the issues, though.

what would you recommend to tune the car with then? Or whats known to work?

CASTREX · 02-28-2009, 04:12 PM

If you want to tune it right. You need a full stand alone.

Which one? depends on your power goals and your tuner preference.

Usually a standalone will run from $900 up to thousands $$$

AEM, haltech, Motec, DTA... many more

CASTREX · 02-28-2009, 04:15 PM

... talking about Engine Management systems.

Has anyone thought about trying a Mega Squirt on a Yaris?

im thinking small levels of boost for now, sticking with the stock engine
need info on all this

Tamago · 02-28-2009, 04:48 PM

if you stick to low boost levels, you could always just use a MAF translator with a/f tracking. .

He means that adding more power means increased risk of catastophic failure. So be ready. Just in case.
