Wow, I got a big response from this, thanks everyone.

To answer a few of your questions, yes it would be expensive, but then again I see people dumping 10k or more into 15 year old Honda Civic's.
Why 200 HP? Well I think with 200 HP and with the weight of the Yaris it would give me a good power-to-weight ratio that I could take on the track, yet it wouldn't be total overkill, I mean don't get me wrong...if I end up with more then 200 after i'm done i'd be happy with it, but 200 is my goal.

I thought about going the 2zz route but I thought it would be too complicated, since I might have to cut the frame and modify the structure of the car to accommodate a different engine and transmission. I'm also worried about how much more weight the 2ZZ with a 6 speed would add to the Yaris.
I mean quite frankly...I would love a 2zz in my Yaris, and if that's the easier option I might end up going with that because i'd love to have a yaris with a 2zz.


I like engines with a long power curve that rev high, like the RX8 and AP1 S2k, and I wondered if I could do the same to my engine without making it completely unreliable. Bear in mind, this is all just a thought i'm pondering what might be the best route for something like this.


I have thought about a supercharged build, but then I wonder what kind of supercharger to go for.
Thanks for all your insight guys, I really appreciate it.
