I am not sure why everyone recommends axles... i have yet to break the stock echo axles. Both with my old motor that params has and my new blacktop setup. Plus i've been to the track with it a few times too...

CASTREX · 02-16-2009, 12:45 PM

Did you ever launched the car with drag tires on it?

^^^

That's the kind of abuse I was talking about.
But for street use and even road track use as long as you are gentle, stock axles should be fine. I guess it all depends on the way you apply the power.

Well I decided to stick with Castrex recomandation so an HKS SSQV will be!

The intercooler piping is expected to finish on the next 3 days....

Parmas · 02-21-2009, 03:07 PM

UPDATE:

Today I got a call that the intecooler tubing is finally finished..... Although there is more things to settle and organize!

Nice

More pics of custom work to front bumper?

Parmas · 02-22-2009, 06:12 PM

Now I am trying to figure out how to make arrangments since from the pics above one can notice that the turbo is too close to braking divider and some fuel and oil lines. Also there is still a problem how I can manage to fit an air filter back there..... any suggestions appreciated!

Hey man I checked out a thread on scionlife about the intake mainfold made by user castrex (not sure if is the same person in this forum) and it seems interesting. Do you know if it is for international sale and if it fits the first gen yaris?

CASTREX · 02-25-2009, 02:27 PM

Yeah it was me... but If I were you I would not wait for that manifold.

This is been going on for months and months and months...

The company that was supposed to manufacture the intake, scrapped the project early this year.

And the guy doing the design has not posted a thing for several weeks now.

cali yaris · 02-25-2009, 02:29 PM

^ exactly, quite frustrating really

ztrack157 · 02-25-2009, 09:49 PM

I think holdner's intake was a pipe dream. It was supposed to be done last year and multiple people committed to buy it. Nothing will ever come of it.

Intentional pun?

But yeah, it's really too bad, real simple, one-piece bolt-on horsepower, what's not to like about that?

Ok just a thought, so it has to be custom made aswell

although still not considering higher boost than the plastic mani can hold, at least for now!

The HKS SSQV BOV is here! Since now I am glad to choose this nice looking BOV. During the time reading the manual, there is an option to install the Recirculation fitting (http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=798) . Does anyone consider this? What are the prons & cons when using this option?

cali yaris · 02-28-2009, 01:08 PM

recirc = quieter and cleaner (since it's not blowing off into your engine bay).

I have recirc on my tC, an open air on the Yaris. I like both ways.

Thanks for the info garm will do without recirc so

CASTREX · 02-28-2009, 04:28 PM

You can always leave the recirculation port ready in case you want to use it in the future.

That way, changing from one set up to the other it would be a matter of a few minutes. Just install the fitting and conect the return hose...

The HKS unit makes an amazing sound... so it's nice to have it open vented...

But if you want to go into "sleeper" mode... you can recirculate it

CASTREX · 02-28-2009, 04:31 PM

But the again.... after looking at your front bumper modification and that FMIC you will have a hard time going into "sleeper" mode.

Looking forward to see some videos of your car running! it will be amazing
