The guy I go to for service told me, it would only add about 2-3HP, maybe 5hp is your lucky.

Yet remind you, he has not seen it done, not have had it done either.

So lets wait and see for someone to get it, install it, and get back to us!

Oh, he also told me that aslong as its TRD, and aslong as you 'dealer' installs it, you will most likely not alter your warrenty, and they will back it up all the way.

Else as he put it, you will void everything since your are technically modifying the engine to a degree if you get what I mean. Hope that answers some of your questions.

They wanted $340.00 for one at my dealership but I want to know how much performance/gas mileage I will be benifiting first

Toddhata · 07-20-2006, 06:17 PM

I was quoted $312, but that's still a lot I think. How's the K&N R&D going, anyone know when that's going to be available?

I don't know about the others but they put my info into the database and that's the last I've heard.

Chaad32 · 07-22-2006, 11:11 AM

I talked to the toyota dealership today and they told me that they expected to see K&N filters (oil and air) in about 2 months. So I figure that Oct. would be a good time st start looking again.

This doesnt make sence. First of all the Yaris doesnt have a points/cap type distributor, nor would you even be able to "under drive" one. There are no PULLEYS on a distributor.

Unless you are confusing the name with something else, or I am completely on the wrong page, you need to enlighten us with a pic of these "under drive distributer pulleys."

This is just what i've heard from some random shops. I have a UR pulley on my cb7. As for these that I'm talking about. It was about my friends gsx where some shop said he can underdrive the ac and yeah i'm guessing the timing distributor. There are some cheap ones on ebay that were being sold a couple years ago for the eclipse. I do not have a Yaris so i would be unable to even look at the engine bay.

as for this guy...

LIEK OMG YOUR SO KEWL!!!!!!! YOU FAIL.

Im sorry but Im with Chris on this - the shop that sold the 'distributor underdrive pulley' probably also sold you your headlamp fluid... I bet cars run awsome with the timing set way retarded - lol, does anyone here actually remember what a distributor is?

dude... i didn't buy crap. Distributor is used to route the voltage in the correct firing order to the spark plugs.

i'm simply stating what a guy told my friend. And i will still stand by that a lightened crank pulley will show noticable gains.

wlfpck · 07-24-2006, 12:33 AM

ah my mistake. my friend meant underdriving the altenator and the a/c.

my mistake.

but i still still stand by my previous statement that a lightened crank pulley will show good results.

Knowone said it wouldn't.... its your other comment you were so sure of, that everyone was questioning.

wlfpck · 07-24-2006, 09:33 AM

true true. well let me rephrase now that i know what my friend actually meant.

underdriving the altenator is bad for older cars. There i believe thats right.

mikeukrainetz · 07-24-2006, 02:46 PM

not so much bad for the car as bad for the alt.

heylookitsjames · 07-24-2006, 05:19 PM

If you underdrive the alternator by putting on a smaller pully at the crank then it will produce less amperage and things like big subwoofers and bright headlights will suffer. A larger, higher amp alternator will cure this problem but will also be harder to spin and probably negate the performance increase found from the underdriving. Underdriving also increases the chance of the waterpump cavititating to the point of failure and decreases the effectiveness of the airconditioning. However, one nice thing about the yaris is that the power steering would be unaffected because it is electric, not hydro...

mikeukrainetz · 07-24-2006, 11:33 PM

sure miss the good old days, one speaker in the dash, no subs, no HID... always an oversized alt. - dont miss the shitty gas mileage. Underdriving a big block would have little effect, however underdriving the Yaris may have some small benefits provided your not running a couple 12's etc (guess im out)
You have to be seriously underdriving your accessories to have major problems. Someone should post actual HP gains to let everyone know how much it actually improves anything.
