The kit comes with an aem fic. There's also a plug and play harness option but I dont believe it'll be that easy. The harness is for a corolla and I'm pretty sure Armstrong stated in his thread the pin out in the ecm is different than Yaris/xd. Gonna have to hardwire that puppy in.

I was thinking the same thing. Btw I second your sentiments regarding the new etest law in Ontario- huge win for car enthusiasts

myfirstyota · 12-28-2018, 10:46 AM

Not just enthusiasts, every car owner in southern Ontario. I'd like to know the amount of money spent by consumers trying to get a car to pass an emissions test cause an evap or some other bs code is present. Doesn't affect fuel economy, actual emissions discharge or reliability. But big brother says I gotta spend 4 bills before I can drive my car again? I got a finger for that.... Its in the middle. Lol

tmontague · 12-28-2018, 12:11 PM

Tell people it's for the environment or a "carbon tax" and they want even look into its efficacy, they'll just line up to give their money away.

The auto industry was one of the main driving forces behind the e test via lobbying gov't. It made clean, used vehicle cost prohibitive to fix which drive new car sales since cars are now lasting longer. If it ever was a true emissions test then only emissions related CEL's would cause a fail

myfirstyota · 12-28-2018, 12:20 PM

Or they wouldn't have moved away from sniffers. That's a real emissions test. Sample the exhaust. See what the car is actually polluting.

Totally agreed just a money grab for the government and to drive the economy.

Go Fordsie go? Lol

WeeYari · 12-28-2018, 01:05 PM

Money lost from government coffers since the Liberals made it a no charge but mandated service was simply replentished by a huge hike in plate renewal fees. They are still getting your $$.

I agree in the move away from sniffer test to CEL based. Total joke. One can be burning a shit load of oil and not be throwing a code.

Plates, licence renewals, income tax, property tax, sales tax, the ridiculous price of mandatory insurance in this province. Bet you you only get 30% of your paycheque at the end of it all. And I'm one of the unfortunate single guys. My tax returns suck.

tmontague · 12-28-2018, 01:23 PM

But it's all worth it right? Canada is a perfect country, remember, our health care is free

It seems you can make people give money for any cause if you word it properly. People today seem to lack depth or intelligence (or simply don't care) to actually think pragmatically and run numbers before they jump in the bandwagon...

Aaaaanyway,

myfirstyota · 12-28-2018, 02:03 PM

Sheep. Even most guys and their cars are just sheep. Everyone and their cousin has a done civic. Takes a proper wrencher to do up a Yaris ;)

myfirstyota · 12-28-2018, 09:23 PM

I'm fully prepared to make room if need be lol. Nothing that can't be solved with a hammer, grinder and a welder!

Love it!

Can't wait.

Pics added. Sorry for the poor quality.
I got a new phone now so they'll get better.
I also realized I did a poor job of documenting my swap. My apologies. I lost most of my pics when my phone died.

It's hard to stop and document things when you're excited and/or frustrated in the middle of a job.

I'm usually more frustrated and stressed out than excited, lol.

Pics are great! Enjoyed looking at them. If find that 1024 x 786 or 800 x 600 make it easier to see them and keeps from having to scroll to read the text. But, who's complaining.

I'm pretty new to all this pic hosting and resizing stuff. I'll be honest... it's a miracle I was even able to get pics up haha. Engine swap.. cake walk. Posting pics.. it's been 3 hours on 2 devices just for what you see posted lol

Hell, miniscule inconvenience for all the excellent info you're providing. Love the new pics. I love the really meaty winter tires on the blue Yaris! Also, your axle/cradle 'restorations' are awesome. I once thought about removing my struts, degreasing, sandblasting (my neighbour a couple houses away has a sandblaster), priming and painting. I settled for spraying atf on them every few weeks. They look nice and black.

Yea the rear axle came out well considering I found it literally sitting in gravel. That's why I went with new bearings.

Cleaning and painting everything has literally taken 10-15 times longer than the swap would have if I just pulled and reinstalled the engines. But this is a build... Not just a swap.

Blucar is hopefully getting a 3-4" lift kit this week. A custom bolt-in idea I've been working on with inspiration from crashy, ctscotts plow/dump...car. If I get that working well, then there's plans for 215/75/15 A/T tires on some horribly offset rims lol. Gonna need to figure out some fender flares for that set up. But that's another build thread! Lol

Use your phone ;) but then the tradeoff is looking at a complete, little pic. I feel your pain tho with the huge ones viewed on a computer.
