Full Bolt Ons- Performance VS. Gas Mileage - Toyota Yaris Forums

AdeJong 03 · 08-18-2009, 05:26 PM

Hey guys I was reading in a couple threads and noticed that some cars are making some pretty decent power increases from bolt-ons. Not just intake here or exhaust there, everything.

I was wondering if people can tell me everything they did, how much power they made, and if it affected their gas mileage in a good or bad way.

Id assume that putting intake, headers, pulleys, and exhaust on the car is going to net you some decent whp but did you sacrifice mileage?

intake/header/pulleys/exhaust and I dyno'd 108 whp. baseline was 94. My dyno is in the thread where dyno charts are posted.

Mileage wasn't affected for the same kind of driving -- but the point of those mods is to go faster so I drove.... well, faster!!

Header is singular by the way, we have just the one header on our 4-cylinder cars.

x2 Modded Yaris and I even feel I get better MPG. I've been getting 29-33MPG on city driving and I'm ridding on 18"s

so far i have pulleys, cai, and exhaust, but stock header and i feel a little bit more power i think the biggest difference was the pulley system, the pickup was so much better and smoother =)

mpg well depending on how i drive the first bar usually goes around 70miles for me

Lol , I feel the same way . If I were to drive this car with the intent to get the best mpgs I think stock vs. modded would be @ least equal if not better on mpg's (mabey 1 or 2 more) with modds cause you don't have to get on the gas as much since you have a little more power . I am killing my mpg's with the heavy-ass 18" rims and am still getting around 28-32 soon to be switching to lightweight 15" rims so mpgs should greatly improve .

as long as you dont get bigger injectors, fuel pump, rail, you should be ok, but if you want more power, get a faster car ;)

I think putting bigger wheels and tires will affect fuel economy more than simple bolt-on upgrades assuming you drive pretty much the same way.

money = speed = ....... speed = power so power = money

AdeJong 03 · 08-19-2009, 03:18 PM

i dont want a car that is known to be quick

besides the gas mileage isnt nearly as good lol

i could have gotten the civic si for a few thousand more but gas mileage is shit on that car.

Garm,
What header were you running?

cali yaris · 08-19-2009, 04:04 PM

^ Megan Racing, sold it after installing turbo, it was in perfect shape.

Mouse · 08-19-2009, 04:31 PM

Thanks.

Mouse · 08-19-2009, 04:33 PM

Has anyone dynoed full bolt-ons plus a light flywheel and clutch?

cali yaris · 08-19-2009, 05:11 PM

A clutch doesn't add wheel horsepower?

jt258 · 08-19-2009, 05:22 PM

I HAVE I/H/MP/E WITH UNDERDRIVE PULLEY KIT & 1ZZ THROTTLE BODY AND 18X7 INCH WHEELS AND IM GETTING ABOUT 34 MILES TO THE GALLON HWY. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE WAY YOU DRIVE.

Mouse · 08-19-2009, 05:24 PM

You free up power that was already there. But still I'm curious.

It does if you could install a clutch and flywheel with a combined weight of 14 pounds.....similar to this....http://www.949racing.com/index.asp?P...rodID=197&HS=1
