More power, with a push of a button??

Hi all,

is there a piggyback that have 2 settings like...Normal or Sport mode? (Just like the "M" button on the BMW M5 n M6, it gives more power).

any one can show me a piggyback that has this feature???

there doesn't seem to be anything as "simple", especially not for our cars. Like T&A said, nitrous button would be the closest Or if you have a turbo, using a scramble boost button to temporarily raise the maximum boost...

I've always wondered why someone didn't offer an aftermarket ECU that did this... 2 or 3 different settings available with the flip of a switch. It couldn't be that hard to make, could it???

I've seen a company that sells that MAF resistor mod that had a switch for different settings, but you had to turn the car off before you flipped the switch or it would throw a CEL.

heh.. that's useful...

"oh crap this guy's coming up fast behind me flashing his lights I think he wants to race, let me stop here in the middle of the highway so I can switch to high power mode!!!"

Actualy they can be made so that the switch is seamless. My other car is a Suzuki Swift and there is an upgrade made like this...its actualy two seperate chips (one being the OEM the other being the upgraded) mounted on a board with a switch that lets you seamlessly cross over. Its great for emissions testing so that you use the factory program to pass or if the vehicle is ever serviced it keeps thing like the rev limiter stock so that people don't bash the crap out of the car bouncing off of 10krpm shifts. You can switch it over on the highway while driving without the car ever losing a beat...not sure why you would want to though

Is there even an aftermarket chip made for the Yaris? I know there are a few tuners that can dyno a car and burn a chip. Might be the only way. Power wise I can't see a chip alone on these cars making any kind of appreciable difference in power unless its made to work with upgraded parts like cams and such.

m has it dead on, it's hard enough to find a chip that actually adds enough power to make a difference right now. The M5 works by restricting the engine whenever that button isn't pressed in the interests of fuel economy. There isn't that much power to spare on the Yaris....

I believe unichip has SOMETHING like this more or less power switch but I could be wrong. NOS would be the real fun switch IMO :)

NOS is a definate option... but everything you would need to do it properly on our vehicles is pricey

People need to realize that there isn't much more power in these cars as they come off the lot. The manufacturer wouldn't leave too much on the table in a sector where people are deciding on a Fit over a Yaris because of it's 109 hp compared to 106...

There is power to be had if you want to void every level of your warranty and rebuild / turbo, etc...

nitrous my friend...gotta be careful with that sh-t on a yaris though...plastic intake manifold...

the design of the manifold will allow the nitrous to puddle if you use a dry shot...thats bad news.

so, it might be a good idea to wait for a company to make a set of injectors for a wet shot...either that or wait for a manufacturer to make a intake manifold or build your own.

Yeah the plastic manifold scares me a lot with the though of a nitrous backfire. I would think if you ran a wet shot (no more than 35) you should be OK...but you better make sure everything else is bang on. IMO the 35 shot just isn't worth it though. These cars need a good 50hp over stock to really liven them up.

Nitrous doesn't puddle fuel does,thats why a dry shot would be safer. Our intakes are meant to run air through them not fuel. The technology of foggers is getting better so you can get away with a wet shot,but a dry is still safer at low levels. You get more punch out of a wet shot though,where a dry comes on more gradual.
