Back in the YW early years we had a spell where every couple months someone was installing a Blitz kit. For the most part, once properly installed, these units seemed to coexist quite happily with the 1NZ, and were making ~ 140 whp. Biggest issue was the sting of needing premium fuel, and eventual bearing failures for which no service support is available. Nothing beats pure n/a power, but s/c on these engines is viable if one wants to spend the outrageous $$ for new units.

Well, I'm definitely interested in the 2ZR swap, however I might wait to see if anyone else does it first. That and I only have 28k on my current engine so it's not really justifiable in my wife's eyes... haha

If you can find a used supercharger kit in good shape, it's a great option. I bought my kit (used) 4 or 5 years ago now...I think I paid 1500+ shipping. If you get it properly tuned, it will give you many years of reliable fun. It has survived a bunch of track time too ... although I probably would have lost my mind if I didn't install an LSD

THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT

the best thing is to build a 2zzge with a turbo&LSD and notch the frame.

on the 1nz i would also recommend the Rotrex s/c. turbo can also be done nicely. i would recommend a stand-alone ECU in both cases. (well, all cases)
oh, s/c does create heat from compressing the air. an innercooler (aftercooler) will increase air density, increasing power output.

Who are you kidding, of course there is when you're chasing big numbers...FUEL ECONOMY numbers that is.

Buying an eco car and expecting it to be fast is the wrong way to go about it.

A "bolt-on" forced induction system isn't going to be reliable without the correct management in place. If you can't do an engine swap, I'd doubt that you want to take on the hassle of a forced induction setup.

You could always do something like this:

though I'd highly recommend not...

Kits come and go every once in a while, just keep checking the FS threads or else you can always refer to the link above and have a go at it.

Going turbo on the 1nz especially in the Yaris chassis is a loaded discussion. There are those that will tell you all day long that you can get away with only for example the FIC from AEM for basic management. I disagree. The best upgrade I made other than going turbo was moving to the EMSv2.

Every once in a while I wonder how 140-150hp would feel in my Yaris, but then I think about the added headaches and the possibility of losing reliability and I remember that I live in NYC and there's either stop sign or red light every other block and then I remember, that this is a momentum car anyway, so it doesn't need more hp.
