Looks awesome! Can't wait to hear how angry she will sound with your header setup, and your review on how it drives.

If you don't like the slip joint, just put some tack welds on it once you get everything fitted and clamped, pull it down and weld it up.

As for sliding the header on once the cross member and engine are in place, sounds like for others planning on doing this, it would be better to install the header onto the engine prior to installing the engine in the car.

Luckily the little part you are talking about was on the midpipe side originally, so the gasket should be the ticket.

I will probably just end up welding the slip joint like you said.

I would install the header before putting the engine in, or drop the crossmember.

Honestly though, I would probably just cut that tab off. I will have to cut it off with an angle grinder if I want to get the header back out. I can always fab up another mount if I need to. I am not gonna bother with a mount bracket for now.

Great results. Good to see a quick Yaris locally. Are your pans to do SCCA, strip racing, road racing, NASA, etc. with it?

I would love to do autocross, but I have no idea where to go or start with it. I might try to enter orbit with it, but I might need to add a turbo to it, before I start true space exploration.

lmgtfy =P

The NASA in question is the North American Sportscar Association. Similar to SCCA, but with different rules and classifications.

The best way to get into autocross is to find a local event, register, show up, and enjoy the day.

Lol, if space exploration is in question I'd start with the void im finding between some people's ears at my current job.

SCCA Central PA is pretty active. Their Facebook group seems to answer questions pretty quickly and they are one of the least condescending groups I've participated in. Not sure what class you'd be in, but according to the last time I checked I'm stuck in STS and although I'll be non-competitive it'll be great experience in learning to drive my car better. Last I looked it was $35 at most events for non-SCCA members for a Sunday fun run.

I finally found this group: Allegheny Highlands Region SCCA

They hold their events like 40 minutes from my house, and their club meetings like only 5 minutes from my house. Woo!

ArmstrongRacing · 03-31-2016, 03:11 PM

Nice! We're going to have a 2zr swap on each coast! 3 so far guys!

Nah, I'll be in Mexico for a week, home for a week, then in China for a week. No idea where I'll be in May.

Manual. I've only got the wire harness so far, but intend to order the exhaust and ECU ASAP, and buy the motor as soon as I get back from MX.

On a side note, can you measure the ID of the MAF section? I grabbed the top of a 1ZZ Matrix/Vibe airbox at the junk yard, but I don't know if it's the right ID for the xD MAF sensor. I plan on using a CAI anyway, but need to know the right diameter to prevent a bunch of CEL issues.

brushforhire · 04-01-2016, 10:42 AM

As a side note, I was able to reuse my old a/c lines, so I did not have to order any new ones. Thankfully. I know Armstrongracing had to use new ones, so if you have a sedan it might be different.

I got my starter and alternator wires upgraded. Did a bigger ground for the front because my battery is not located behind the passenger seat. I went with 1/0 oversized. It's obscenely huge, lol. I also used the 1/0 wire for the ground from the battery to the body.

I have to figure out where to run my 1/0 power wire from the battery to the engine bay now. I was gonna run it through the grommet where the 4 ga was, but there is not way 1/0 oversized wire is fitting through that grommet on the drivers side! Probably just drill a hole in the firewall and hide the power wire a little better.

CrankyOldMan · 04-01-2016, 04:36 PM

Mine's a 3DR hatch. Did you have to get the xD alternator and A/C compressor?

There's another grommet behind the passenger airbag. It's easiest to see it from the engine bay, but it's under the wiper cowl. Probably a 5/8" diameter hole.

I did get the alt and compressor. The xD pulleys have more ribs.

I will check for that grommet, thanks!
