I'll let you know in about a week. From what others have said, they have dropped 3-5 MPG, depending on how they drive. Also, the Blitz has a four position control switch that you install in the cabin that allows you to adjust when the superchargers clutch is engaged. You can set it for low, med, or high (which determines with how much throttle it engages) or off. That was the selling point for me - The ability to have some extra guts, or be MPG conscious at will.

Pic of the cabin control? I've been wondering what it looks like...

There are so many threads on the install process, that I actually didn't bother documenting it. The Blitz instructions are good, except for not showing as well as you'd like which bolts go where. Also, for the alignment of the alternator, I think that laying a belt across the pulleys and experimenting with the spacers works better than using the specific ones stated in the doc and then watching the belt pop off when you start it for the first time.

I had it set to low (engage at 25% throttle) all times and I have not noticed a difference in mileage. Still get 30-32 mpg same as it was brand new, same with supercharger and same now it is off. I never babied the car to squeeze better gas mileage out of it, with or without the supercharger.

It's a tiny little panel (about 1.5" x 1") with a tiny rotary switch and an LED. I installed mine on the back of the driver's side cubby, next to the HVAC controls.

LtNoogie · 06-28-2011, 01:23 AM

I am glad you are enjoying it. Do you have a manual or automatic?

derickveliz2 · 06-28-2011, 02:13 AM

I've seen them for $3,800 at MI, but could you translate for me in real world how much of gian (power) this mods is? I mean... Yaris 1.5 is about 106 hp.

Just curious!

Thanks

cali yaris · 06-28-2011, 02:19 AM

I don't have any in stock, I'll call tomorrow so we can have a current price on them new.

I think it puts down ~130 to the wheels. Someone had a video of their Vitz on a dyno at a car show with it, can't remember who tho.

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-28-2011, 02:54 AM

My bad, it was 120, and I'm not sure which SC it is (assumed it was the Blitz).

peterpoop ran about 130-135 whp/wtq with intake header and exhaust

he was about 135-140whp/wtq with fatter powerbands after a tune with emanage ultimate...his dyno sheets are somewhere on the site

Last night via my TechStream tool, I did the "Reset Memory" procedure for the ECM's control of the automatic transmission. This causes the ECM to re-learn its shifting patterns based on your driving style. After doing the reset with the tool, you have to drive it, doing a lot of starts and stops for 15 minutes, so I did so pretty aggressively. Driving around today with it, I notice a big difference in the shifting patterns, where they better match the way that the boost kicks in.
