Superchargers

Let's talk superchargers.

So far I know of the following manufacturers/companies that have installed a supercharger on the Yaris hatchback:

- Power Enterprises (this was featured in the TEIN Yaris at SEMA 2006 .. is this a direct bolt on?)
- Blitz (xB retro-fit as per Teruyume)
- Blitz (direct bolt on in the making?)
- TRD (Toyota being very hush hush as usual, this has to be direct bolt on)
- Others?

Are there any other companies that are developing a Direct Bolt-On supercharger for the Yaris hatchback?

Teruyume - how was the install of the xB supercharger on the Yaris? What sort of modifications were required?

You can add to the list:

Greddy supercharger (Xa/Xb)
Greddy turbo (Xa/Xb)
ZPI turbo (Xa/Xb)
Turbo Toyotas turbo (Xb)
OEM Toyota turbo 1NZFE (non-North American Market)

Most likely many of the above kits (including the ones you mention) will physically fit the Yaris, but will require some modifications and different software/tuning.

I'm waiting patiently to see what the TRD s/c offers. I mean, it would be under warranty man... makes me horny just thinking about it.

Off to that "nice ass" thread...

Turbos

Don't know about Superchargers... But I know EPS has a turbo for the xA that should be able to be retro fitted.

I want a turbo or supercharger so bad for this Yaris it's ridiculous... By-the-way... got off the phone with the dealership today... My car is in and I'm going to pick it up on Saturday! FUCK YEAH!

I went to SEMA & spoke both with Blitz & the owner of the Tein Yaris. Their kits bolt right up. Only 2 mods are needed. 1) The XB has a 3 bolt throttle body & our cars have a 4 bolt throttle body. An aluminum flange will need to be fabricated to be able to bolt our TB to the inlet pipe. 2) There is some extra hardware need for the belt tensioner. THe owner of the Tein car told me it was obvious what you needed when you bolt it up. He also recomended the CamCom for fuel/ignition control.

Im assuming with either system that the engine management software works for both the Xb and Yaris?
Does anyone suppose by next summer there will be enough developed for the Yaris to bring the pricing into the 2K range?

RE: Price
Hard to say mike..

Blitz is asking approximately $4200 CAD funds, which I assume is the suggested retail price.

The $2000 range would be an excellent price point, but again I'm not sure if it would reach that low as the "mod" community hasn't fully embraced the Yaris like other vehicles (e.g. Honda Fit).

The odd thing is its cheap to retro fit an existing supercharger system but its the management system is the biggest problem (in my opinion). A pulley driven charger is a simple setup with only minor custom tubing (slightly more complicated with an intercooler) and brackets. Do any of those aftermarket products like AFC or greddy emanage support the Xb / Yaris platform? or can the system be adjusted via laptop?

A friend of mine has installed the 1NZ-FE supercharger kit on his Yaris TS.

It is not bad, but in my opinion it doesn't worth the money!

Agreed.

Like someone said earlier, $4000 dollars for a supercharger which gives you about 40-45hp gain is not that attractive in terms of $ per hp.

But I would like to drop a supercharger in place to experience that extra power in a small compact car like the Yaris

Going from 106hp to 151hp in a car that weighs about a ton... That’s a huge gain! Now in a 3 ton truck... 40-45hp is nothing!

uh, thats almost 50% more power.... lol

Thats like going from 200 to 300hp, or 400 to 600... a big @$$ jump@

I'm sure yet more power can be had with a motor built for it, and more boost.

IMO, turbo.

torque or HP? even in a small car like the Yaris it wont mean much if there isnt much extra torque. what are some of the 'actual' numbers? Those of you who already have these kits bolted on should post up some info.

That's what I was alluding to; the fact that a 40-50hp increase on the Yaris would be quite significant considering its bhp, and the light weight of the vehicle.

mike makes a good point, we need some torque numbers because that's what ultimately makes the car and driver feel like it's launching into warp drive when you hit the gas.
