Less power or more money than that wouldn't be attractive for must of the Yari owners. Of course there's always people throwing big bucks on anything they drive. I'm just saying what I think it makes the most sense.

yep, 150 wheel hp, though, with the capability to get more with a pulley swap, etc etc I'm really not sure exactly what you could do with this setup.

Dude, there's no way to get 150whp out of this motor without internal work done. They said it above a few times, 150 CRANK hp is even a stretch.

The Honda Fit kit, takes it from the stock 95whp to 150whp, but with a hefty 10psi, which IMO is high for a s-chrgr, and will be a hot running car in the summer months. I'm not familiar with the Fit motor, but 10lbs of boost is a lot if the motor is built with weak components like our Yaris' are. Put 10lbs of boost on a stock Yaris motor, and you can kiss it goodbye in a matter of months probably.

Safely, I'd say 6-7lbs of boost, and 140-150 crank hp, or about 120-135whp. A good 50% gain.

check out the turbo kits from: http://www.zpiracing.net/

its without a shadow of a doubt possible...

the motor has been known to *reliably* handle a 50 shot, and those with the bawls to run 75 havent had problems, this on stock ecu/injectors/no tune etc.

Yeah, turbos are nice, but in no way, shape, or form would I try and push the enveloupe on a stock internal Yaris motor. What's the point, to make a high 17 second car a 16 flat car? Waste of time. I would, however, spend $2500 total for 60 reliable hp to make the car more fun to drive.

Same here. In the new siphon mag out they got around 155 hp and 148 tq if i remember correctly. If i know blitz though the kit is probaly 5g. I bet me and my buddies can make a turbo kit for these cars for barely a grand if they make injectors and a good fuel rail for it. Hell we have a geo metro convertible that runs 12s. If you want ill post up pics of it.

Spkrman,
I for one would like to see the pics of a 12 sec metro.

blitz now has a turbo for yaris seen in auto mag other day 3800.00 may be old news .

[Nutzoids]

Correct me if I'm wrong but 1PSI of boost = 10HP

So with a 5PSI waist gate we are looking at 50HP

Our engines, from what I have read and asked around can handle 7PSI without internal Modification.

At 6.5PSI it will need a new Lightweight Flywheel

But with 4-5PSI we don’t even need an Intercooler, As long as we position the Turbo correctly!

Jackson Racing didn't reply to multiple emails -- I guess they are not interested? :sad:

[sdmf]

underdog racing maybe?

[Nigal]

I found the prices on a Honda forum...

"$3500 for 5lbs and $4995 for 10lbs."

So basically I'd have the same interest in this as would Pamela Anderson. Desired from afar and knowing I'll never get a crack at hittin' it.

Hi Doc Z! How are you doing? I just saw this passge from you on the forum and wanted o say hello! I love th deflector and the car itself!

I ALSO LOVE the Blitz system I had installed in my Yaris (2008 No. Ameican 2-Dr liftback 5-speed) like 9 months ago. It performs great and still allOws me to get good fuel econOmy at the same time. But the other day, I had an incidence of bad audible detonation at high throttle position I had to use to pass another slower vehicle. I never had that bEfore, But I also never mashed the throttle like I had to like that before either. I realize that a bad tank of Premium fuel could cause that, but not likely as I always use Chevron High Test and have never had a problem in any of my other vehicles. Have you ever heard of this happening, or had it yourself? DO you know of any fixes, etc to prevent this from happeneing again? I am very concerned as I do not want to have to replace my motor at any time. Still, I want to be able to use higher throttle whenever it is necessary without having this Detonation occur. Please let me know, as I'd really appreciate anything at all you can tell me about this issue. Thanks!

BTW, pretty cool how our website has a pretty big influence on the development of Yaris aftermarket support! And good for being proactive, redglare!
