The one good thing about a 1.8 liter engine making 180hp vs a forcefed 1.5 liter engine making the same power is reliability especially over the long run. I'd pay the premium for that. Of course the 1.8 liter engine opens up loads more potential for more power ;)

If and when someone comes up with the detailed instructions for the wiring and force-fitting the 2ZZ engine into the Yaris engine bay, I'll be drooling behind my laptop :)

I hope the guys from PR do share their "secrets" very soon :)
Thanks for the props of ours cars here (in P.R.). These might sound funny cause we are a little island (135x23 miles) but I haven't been able to locate this guy!!!! See the car beside the internet nor find info about who did the job. There's also a Lb that has been around for more than a 1.5 year, but same results....

Most of these jobs are done in local workshops or at home. So tracking the people who did the jobs is difficult.

But'll keep trying

are you kidding me?!?!?!?!

with such a small area to search i would drive up and down every street and dirt road with a bull horn hanging out the window yelling "SOMEONE IS STEALING YOUR WHITE YARIS SEDAN!"

most likely if u yell "HEY GUY WITH THE ENGINE SWAPPED YARIS I'M LOOKING FOR YOU!"

wont persuade him to come out of hiding.

LOL I'll like to see you try that This might be some useful Info:

-Island (135x23miles o is it 123 x35.. know I don't remember LOL)
-Population: 4 million
-People to Cars Ratio (registered/driving on streets): 0.8 car per person (chek the population )
-Yaris: Best selled car for to years in a row..... (Toyota dealers have reduced if not stop to bring Scion, Corollas..)
-Registerd Steets: One of the Worlds most streets per square mile (if not #1). And dirt roads (ain't made by the goverment) so there ain't that many, but the one that do exist are to get to some neat beaches (that not too many people know about) Private farms, made for ATV, 4x4, etc not for daily driving, not a good place to take a yaris

and driving from one side of the island to the other might take you 3 hours if not more.

LOL That should be a nice Mission, but I'll keep on searching for the guy.

100 by 35 is the correct size, the pictures from the track look like carolina which is close to San Juan .
