Food for thought.

is there an answer to this yet?

The correct length studs and bolt should be included with the spacer, and I'm sure they would do it that way so we don't have to source our own parts.

frownonfun · 06-05-2009, 07:01 PM

ok well i'd be interested in getting one. i don't have a colour preference though.

AlexNet0 · 06-15-2009, 04:29 PM

If someone could source longer studs for this until some are completed for testing, it would be appreciated, i will source some later on but those who have done it will already have the sizes and stuff. I know mikenacarato got longer ones for his, I'll PM him if he doesnt see this.

Spacer and test fogger are en'route to nexus

Got them today they look great, and i can probably find whatever we need from a local place called www.boltdepot.com

AlexNet0 · 07-04-2009, 10:21 PM

we havent forgotten about this folks, we're trying to get this going.

*tk-421* · 08-04-2009, 02:17 PM

Any updates on this project?

YarisSedan · 08-07-2009, 03:27 AM

I am still anxiousely awaiting the finished product =)

cruz-gsr · 08-07-2009, 11:21 AM

i will love one, can't wait to see finish product.

AlexNet0 · 08-07-2009, 09:52 PM

delays on equipment are delaying the project, but it has most certainly not been forgotten.

mikenacarato · 08-17-2009, 08:48 PM

well i thought i would post in here to solve a potentiaal issue.

when i made my throttle body spacer i encountered an ongoing CEL that brought up a lean condition code. i dont exactly know the cause of the code but it could have been getting that much more air OR im thinking it was running a little hotter than usual. either way i put in injectors from the 1.8l 130hp corolla this past friday and drove to georgia for the weekend. i put almost 700 miles on the car with many starts and stops and went through both interstate and atlanta traffic...no CEL. problem solved. idles and runs perfectly. so if you put on a spacer and encounter this..here is a potential method to solve it. for those who wanna know about prices on the injectors...you can get them NEW at the dealer for 120-150 a piece. as far as salvage prices go..i have no idea..you would need to call your local salvage yard OR go to car-part.com to search for yards near you.

mrbond · 08-17-2009, 11:04 PM

Mikenacarato, what sort of power difference did you feel? Also, with the 1zz injectors did you notice any change in fuel economy?

mikenacarato · 08-18-2009, 12:10 AM

well i didnt really notice any power difference nor mileage loss. i did however notice the powerband was smoother and my cars idle does not bounce anymore. it used to sit at 700 then bog to 500 and bounce up to like 1200 then settle out again...and it wound do this every 15-20 seconds. now it sits at 700 and doesnt bounce

cali yaris · 08-18-2009, 10:24 AM

I sure wish we had a dyno on that modification. It would settle whether it makes any power.

$500 for injectors, one would hope it makes a little more!

mikenacarato · 08-18-2009, 02:41 PM

ya i know right? its kinda pricey for just 2-3 hp lol

frownonfun · 08-18-2009, 07:58 PM

at this point, as hard as hp is to come by in the yaris, i think i'll take it any way i can get it.

What? Who paid $500 for 1ZZ injectors? They should cost around $25 apiece from eBay. I've go to read back a few pages.

frownonfun · 08-18-2009, 08:07 PM

that's the cost from the dealership as far as i know.
