Reality... We don't NEED a Turbo that can put out 20PSI... Our engines can not take more then 7PSI... With anything less then 10PSI you don't even need an Intercooler!

So if someone came out with a Turbo Kit that only made 5-6PSI... No Intercooler, No Frills Turbo kit... threw a $1,500-$2,000 price tag on it... I guarantee they wouldn't be able to keep the kits on the Shelves

After all… THE YARIS IS THE 2ND CHEAPEST NEW CAR IN AMERICA…

i would rock it, but i wonder how long its going to take to get into production, its not like rotrex is nst. people didnt really buy the zpi turbo kit cuz of the companys reputation, but i think more people would buy the rotrex if it doesnt have fitament issues and just bolts right up with little or no modification at all

+1 - I wouldnt mind a non intercooled kit for 1500 bucks - you could always add something later on if you wanted too - like some of the greddy kits come based as non intercooled and you can upgrade later if you want...

cali yaris · 08-09-2007, 04:27 PM

That's called a Stage 0 -- an excellent idea for our cars.

punch · 08-09-2007, 07:00 PM

guys, I/we want this tuff... make it....

in a couple years these cars will be cheap, and the tuner crowd can then buy them, and add on $3000 s/c... heck people buy shit box used hondas, and spend thousands on engine upgrades....

mandriu · 08-09-2007, 07:13 PM

I seriously considered zpi turbo, but after all the problems i had with trying to get either my exhaust or my money back i would strongly discourage business with them

Thotprawsis · 08-09-2007, 07:33 PM

I tought zpi was gone?

yeah zpi is gone...

i know a lot of people here bought the yaris because it was cheap and are not planing on putting any kind of performance parts on, but theres a growing number of people that like the looks of the yaris but want more power.

i myself am hoping to finish my turbo kit by the end of the month. i need extra power, not an insane amount of power but another 60-70horses at the crank will do. i think the engine/trans can withstand that extra amount with no issues.

the more people interested in a product the better.

barebonedvitz · 08-09-2007, 11:14 PM

it's actually an xB engine.

Neils said the price will get announced when it's done.. i've had my days with the roots type in my b18 civic.. now i just wanna try something new. i like the fact that it's lighter too... soooo i'm all for waitin!... gives me more time to save! yee

I notice one of those pics looks like a vitz with a 1nz-fe.

Considering that there are 3 members out of 3000+ that have a turbo or s/c kit I say that this kit will be a sales disapointment to company making it.

True.... but I'm one of the 3...

RShatchback · 08-10-2007, 08:44 AM

there would be a whole lot more if someone like greddy came out with that "stage 0" kit talked about a few posts up!!

I concur!

lostmind · 08-10-2007, 12:51 PM

Stage 0 might be more appealing... And easier for everyone to get past the significant other in their life...

I however don't care. Soon as a solid kit comes out, so does my credit card :)

cali yaris · 08-10-2007, 02:45 PM

+1, amen, etc.

cdydjded · 08-11-2007, 12:14 PM

OK so if a company comes out with a turbo kit for $2000-$2500 without an intercooler everyone would jump on it?

cali yaris · 08-11-2007, 12:27 PM

I probably would. Depends on management, that's the critical element and I don't think anyone has figured out how to work with our ECU yet.

I am betting it can be done for under $2,000...

and cdydjded I know we have talked about it before... And I know that your option is to just throw money at your problems... But money is my problem... LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO BUY A YARIS!

So back off!

People... Can I get an "AMEN" for a Stage 0 Yaris Turbo Kit?

RShatchback · 08-11-2007, 07:08 PM

Stage 0, +1
