Is there any way to make this setup California Carb Legal?

Yes, and they are pretty easy to follow.

I eventually trimmed my painted OEM one and reinstalled it.

that's so sick. i wish superchargers were a common thing here, as i hate everyone saying Turbo here. personally i think the superchargers are the middle ground for NA and turbo, or best of both worlds.

unfortunately here in the philippines supercharger are soooooo rare, thus maintenance would be a PITA.

good post scott! always been a fan of your work!

I have only seen the Yaris Blitz Kits that include just the one tensioner pulley.

For belt length, get it mounted, move the tensioner pulley to its end of travel where the distance around the pulleys would be the shortest, and then wrap a piece of non-stretchy rope around the belt path. Mark the length, measure it, and then look for a 6 or 8 rib belt as close to that measurement as possible. Since you will be working from the shortest length, with the position of the tensioner pulley, only go up in belt length to meet a standard one. You can go up to an inch longer to have the belt still be in the range that the tensioner will work with.

My yaris was supercharged, no a/c.

When you add a modification like this does it put a lot of extra wear and tear on the motor?

[CTScott]

With any changes to the air/fuel ratio and flow to an engine there is the potential for damage. A person over on the Micro Image forum recently damaged his engine with use of a Rotrex supercharger. He didn't mention how much boost he was running, as compared with the 6 PSI of the Blitz, but even the Blitz can do damage if the engine is allowed to run too lean.

Installed correctly, there is no additional maintenance.

You get less gas mileage because the supercharger is always going ( well not always, as the blitz does have a clutch) and a small turbo tuned right can do the same thing a supercharger can but get better gas mileage and more power. It would just cost more. And be more of a hassle.

But Philippines? isn't that the land of dirt cheap labor costs?

Question: Do I just wire the CS controller same way as shown in the post below?

Thanks

P.

All of those ECMs are the same from a SC standpoint. The differences are for tranny type, engine immobilizer, ABS equipped, etc.

^ Blitz used to mark the fuel controller for manual or auto transmission, though. I have no idea what the difference in tuning might have been.

My question deals with clutch activation

1. I am right in thinking that blue wire on the diagram is simply supplying +12V signal to the relay (this wire goes from the 4-position module which manages the whole activatio thing)?

2. and that If I wire this unit only (wihtout connecting the fuel controller and 4-position module ) and supply +12 v to the blue wire I will be able to check whether clutch is engaging (just wanted to check the sc unit itself prior to installation as my kit is a pre-owned one)

Thank you

P.

The blue wire from the cabin switch is actually the switched ground for the relay coil. If you look at that diagram above you will see that fused power goes to the relay coil and then the blue wire from the switch goes to the other side.

No. It is a switched ground, so when the blue wire is connected to nothing the SC is not activated and when the blue wire is grounded the SC is activated.
