turbo
I have a Toyota Vios which is made only in Thailand.It came out in 2004 as a limited edition as is only 600 were made and only for the one year.It has the same mods to the engine and suspension as the Yaris.My Vios has wider tyres 16ins 7.0J205/45 R16.The mods all came from the European design for the Yaris although modified by Toyota Team Thailand and only claim 143 ponies@6400 and a max torque of196@4400 and only 8.1 0-100KPH.____I love this car and cannot fault it but would like someone to tell me how to get an extra 15-20 more hp without piggy backing,re mapping,or anything that has to do with putting it on a dyno.All I want is a safe/cool temp 160hp.At the moment the limiter kicks in at about 205 kph but feels like wanting to give more.Another problem is it is designed for min 95 oct fuel.In thailand they use a lot of Ethonal based Gasahol which claim 95 oct. but I am not sure if it can be used on a tubo(any ideas)

Hi kwiken,
For background, I used to drive a 1992 '6 bolt' turbo AWD DSM - Eagle Talon/Mitsu Eclipse modified with boost controller, K&N filter, suspension, 264 degree cams, piggyback computer, 550cc injectors, Walbro 190lph pump etc, etc... Quote:
Definitely a full exhaust from the turbo back is a good idea as well. The bigger and more free-flowing the better. For your desired power level, you might consider a 2.5" full exhaust. A free flowing catalytic converter as well would benefit you. You could port your exhaust manifold and all other cast exhaust pieces to be matched with the adjoining piece. This is easily done in your garage with a Dremel tool or air-powered die-grinder with a carbide bit. Sorry, I'm not sure if you have cast pieces on your vehicle -- I'm not familliar with that model. Quote:
You may be able to gain much more extra power by upgrading your intercooler and piping (as few bends, or as gently bent as possible to ensure the speed of the intake charge is highest) than by anything else. I hope that this helps, Carvin' |

Sawasdee! Very cool to see a Vios Turbo owner here, be ready for a lot of questions from everyone
The easiest way to extract extra horsepower out of a turbo is to raise the maximum boost. I am not sure what kind of boost controller is used with yours, but it is probably a fixed pressure one. There *may* be an adjustment screw or something, but it would be best for you to change for an aftermarket boost controller, as you can tweak the settings from the cabin, without needed to get under the hood each time. We asked arto (TRD Thailand) about putting this turbo setup in my car, but they say this 143hp is the maximum safe power you can get out of it without strengthening internals. But, guys in the US have managed around 180hp with turbo (find the posts by the member turboyaris here), seemingly without problems, so it *should* be safe for you to raise that boost a little bit. Only one way to find out!

No modding of Engines in Italy? That just seems Blaphomous, with all the high end Italian sports cars running around

I see what you mean, this climate is not always so good for engines, I have a friend with an RX-8, those rotary engines run hot normally, but over here, it's scary! I gather you are not Thai yourself?
Anyway, yes of course, a good intake and exhaust will contribute more power, I've seen lightened crank pulleys for the Vios. As for gasohol I'm really not sure how bad or good it is, I know many people with performance cars are complaining, but I think we'll need information from more knowledgeable people about that

As you gathered I am not local but love driving quickly.All the local people at garages just tell me to suck the Gasahol and see.Any chance of pointing me to a local shop that has on the shelf mods from reputable companies for sale.

If you're in Bangkok check out Autocar on Srinakarin road, right next to Seacon Square. They're a bit pricey but they have a lot of stuff under one roof, and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable.

TRD Thailand "only" puts out 143bhp on their Turbo Vios, probably because they have to sell the car with a warranty, whereas Turboyaris's car doesn't have that sort of implication. Similarly with Blitz's supercharger kit, the gain in HP isn't big because they have left the internals and the compression as stock.
You can maybe try NA-style mods such as doing a cold air intake, and a free-er exhaust pipe, better spark plugs, and maybe octane boosters for your fuel. |
