what about this kit would NOT work for the yaris?

uhhhh without turbo won't work well. I mean you honestly could do a kit for under $2000 on the retail market and sell it for profit. It might cost you like $900 in parts with intercooler and no management and sell it for $1800... Not bad IMO, but i don't have super welder fab skills

Suppliers being xoRacing or something?

you can make a cheap kit, doesn't mean it's good.

now, if you assembled one using used parts, it'd be feasible.

so Used Intercoolers (saab), used turbos (WRX?), new oil lines (nice ones), new manifold/piping/intake, new DP.

not sure if it'd be feasible for $900 cost if it was all new stuff.

also TMIC ftw. :)

sounds a lot like this:

wonder where I got my inspiration/cost figures......

we could probably throw in an oil cooler too...hmmm ;)

Don't even f'in start with TMIC bs, you have a Subaru, and you obviously know they blow ass even at the expense of shorter piping...

they blow ass? (wont get into the TMIC vs FMIC for a subaru here, feel free to PM or start a thread on Nasioc/IWSTI and I'll chime in there).

reason I said it, is b/c it would be significantly cheaper to fabricate a setup that had a TMIC that was inside the engine bay.

less complexity in the piping, fitment, no cutting of the bumper or bumper beam. (just a hole in the hood.. ).

when running a large turbo at high PSI I can see the requirements of an FMIC but at 8 psi a TMIC would be fine as long as it had proper flow.

obviously done correctly a nice V-mount setup would be ideal with the organization of the Yaris motor (just need to extend the maf).

either way, for $1800 I'd probably set it up sans intercooler and sell a water injection kit option. :)

mine worked perfectly.

oh yeah for a small engine like this and a V Mount, i mean its fine on something that produces little to no heat, but i meant as a solution for a performance vehicle that is going to be running over 20psi and the whole engine bay being roasting hot and the heatsoak deally. THATS when you are better off going FMIC. But recently they did research to find that the V Mounts have been working extraordinarily well since they get a nice volume of air targeted at the intercooler and still allowing it to hit the radiator as well...

But A TMIC would be fine with this little itty bitty.

I'd love to hack apart a Yaris and do a full on V-Mount with stepped cores but as you said it'd be a little pointless unless you already have a setup running 20 psi +

see the setup on Tamago's sig?

nice short piping, simple, (just need a hole in the hood)....haha

I don't know if a TMIC would clear the hood in a Yaris!

if it clears on an xA, it'll clear on euro NCAP yaris hoods.

I thought you guys had more room? Oh well, it doesn't matter. FMIC FTW.

in the "boost response" war, i'd win, even with a larger VF39 turbo

I just like the wow factor of a FMIC. Go on, call me a ricer.
