Turbo or supercharger kit for the yaris availability?

The install may be easier but the tune and headaches/constant fidgeting to get it to run right make the 2zr swap an easier solution long term. Its not as daunting as you may think.

There are some old threads on here of people who went boosted and you can read about the hassles they've had.b also a bolt on kit is rarely ever true bolt on

Just something to think about

For me, I have the 2014 model and the ZR swap can be done, but as far as I know, no one has swapped a third gen yet and many others aren't too sure about the 3rd gens because who knows about the ECU and other wiring differences there may be. For me, that's why I would rather pursue a turbo route.

Your point still stands though. I haven't been able to source an engine yet either.

I don't honestly believe there's a straight-forward solution. You can't say that an engine swap is the absolute best way to go.
Everyone has different preferences and different goals they want to achieve.
Some people honestly don't wanna go through the hassle and difficulty of pulling the wholle motor out along with wiring harness, ECU, etc. Without the proper tools and expertiese you're setting yourself up to have a bad time.
Is a supercharger or turbo a better way to go? Maybe, maybe not. Might be easier to install but harder to properly tune.
The trend nowadays is to have a small engine with forced induction, making big power.
(Chevy Cruise- 1.4L turbo = 154hp; Honda Civic- 1.5L turbo = 174hp; Kia Soul - 1.6L turbo = 201hp; etc...)
Like I said before, there's no one solution that works for everyone. Each of us has to make a choice as to what they want to do if they want to add extra power to their car.

trends are stupid.
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT

the best thing is to build a 2zzge with a turbo&LSD and notch the frame.

on the 1nz i would also recommend the Rotrex s/c. turbo can also be done nicely. i would recommend a stand-alone ECU in both cases. (well, all cases)
oh, s/c does create heat from compressing the air. an innercooler (aftercooler) will increase air density, increasing power output.

Who are you kidding, of course there is when you're chasing big numbers...FUEL ECONOMY numbers that is.
