To build high performance Yaris motors?

^ I keep seeing posts like this, and never a picture or a dyno. I believe you -- but it would be real nice to see how it's done and what the result is.

X2... I want to see this on video and dyno run! Do you have this?

If I find a cheaper engine, I will try this mod.

I can have an engine for 150$. If I put prius piston, I think that I need a tuning. FIC or camcon ?

Personally, I would be more interested in the Prius intake cam than Prius pistons. The effective compression ratio on the Prius changes due to VVT-i, but I've been told by experienced techs that it's around 6.5-7.5:1, depending on valve timing. The interesting thing to me would be a Prius intake cam and a supercharger- turn the Yaris engine into a Miller-cycle engine.

On every Forum too... but they never show anything it's like a secret voodoo cult!

spin_king · 04-15-2012, 02:50 PM

i wanted to raise my compression but couldnt find any for my vitz rs. i would like to know how if anyone has tried the 13:1 compression. what year prius pistons were used & if any addition fabrication work had to be done.

oh yes I like the voodoo as long as i can see it doo its voo. until then it is like the sneaking myth of the 1k hp streetable hatch back that hunt down and devours v-8s.

and the getting another engine and building a n/a to do autocross would be a sweet project, i'm trying to get my pops in on a project with me but he is hesitant to do anything.

cali yaris · 04-15-2012, 07:19 PM

We can get new higher comp pistons, just sold some to a customer doing an NA build.

Sourcing Prius pistons are cheaper obviously IF they work.

mr_miles · 04-16-2012, 01:36 AM

Wish i had a spare engine...I'd tear it down and find out.

Nanoss22 · 04-23-2012, 11:42 PM

Guys here in puerto rico i have seen 2 hb with the prius piston mood and it work they fit perfectly no mood needed just replace the stock ones with the prius piston and the roods are the same original that came with the engine 1nzfe .....only the pistons.. Prius 2004 2006... I have allready the piston all assembled waiting for the mechanic...

Nanoss22 · 04-23-2012, 11:48 PM

I need a repair manual for the 1nz fe engine so i can get all the timing all the screw torque if u know i will apreciated

why? · 04-24-2012, 05:45 PM

in the diy section:2007 Repair Manual.

And we'd love to see some build pics and a dyno run if you do it after too.
Thank you!

Would be so cool if it worked.
