It has Begun - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hello to all

Well After much research (manly from this Forum) have begun to modify my 2012 Yaris LE HB

The first Install so far was the aFe intake and the Micro Image Intake Manifold
Had a slight issue with MAF not fitting the aFe intake but little bit of sand paper and that was fixed. So far only have about 5 days of to and from work on it but there is a noticeable increase in power at lower rpms, Have a crap-o-matic so don't know in what range but still loving it.

Thanks to Jeff at Micro Image for help that was provided and listening to my dumb questions and I will be calling back when bonus shows up next week for the Tanabe Cat back and headers

Now if only there was Semi-Automatic tranny that would fit this thing

Yes I would convert to a manual if was able to but needs to stay as automatic for DMV purposes for now

On this note I have been looking and it seems only one person has done the TB change over with a Third Gen Yaris and had some issues was wondering if any one else had done this as well and did or didn't have issues looking for one now but trying to figure out what to look for as to problems

ok so only have after pictures had thought that it was a pretty easy install so didn't do any pictures
but here they are

Here is one of the things that bothers me so will need to do some modifying to my cover but works for now

The air manifold came with spacers to lift the cover up so wouldn't rub on the manifold but don't like the way it looks so going to pull my dremal out but that can wait

and Just noticed this

Hose is touching will see if can twist that hmmm... anyways

Hope you like and next few Install's will get pictures taken while doing the install

scod4025 · 02-11-2015, 10:01 AM

ok so added some after pictures but need to get approval or something the redirect was to fast for me to see what issue was

scod4025 · 02-11-2015, 10:53 AM

I had a shop do the work, I wasn't going to do it that way but it was on the rack and he gave me a really good price for the work.

So it is now all 2" from the resonator back My new exhaust guy had to cut the connection off the Tanabe muffler because it had 1"3/4 pipe

to connect to my old pipe which became 2"

I will be installing DC headers this weekend

axiom · 02-19-2015, 04:18 PM

I really want to do the MI Intake Manifold, but have not bit the bullet, the price seems so high. I have the 1ZZ TB so really should be doing this.

scod4025 · 02-19-2015, 04:26 PM

It is worth it. I have lost a little in my MPG but lots of low end umph

Edit: Should state that the loss of MPG may or may not be from the fact that my foot seems to have gotten a bit heaver. I don't speed per say, just like to get up to speed faster then everyone else around me

WorkTL · 02-19-2015, 08:05 PM

Did the car run fine after the manifold install. I might buy this next, will this give you any problems at the smog place?

scod4025 · 02-20-2015, 10:44 AM

Had no problems with the intake manifold after install. um don't know about smog but I keep all of my factory pieces just incase it's a real easy install like 45mins and I'm back to stock

axiom · 02-20-2015, 02:50 PM

Damn it, look what you made me do. I ended up ordering the MI Intake Manifold.

Ok so started looking into my next mod, Light weight pulleys, fly wheel etc...
and came across some disturbing post so was wondering if there is still issues with the pulleys and such or where these few and far between. Or do you guys think there is a Different Mod I should be looking into

Also have the question of should I Go with a 10% undersize or stick with OEM size.

Trying to scrape out every little bit of HP with out adding F/I (YET)

WorkTL · 03-01-2015, 10:07 AM

I would just go with the MicroImage pulley. I noticed the car revs quicker and don't have to worry about it cracking.
