Installing Blitz Supercharger - Page 10 - Toyota Yaris Forums

PETERPOOP · 03-15-2009, 10:48 PM

I have this tumor on my butt, I was wondering if.... j/k

So you got it working!? NICE! I prefer the setting in low also. It seems that the compressor rarely engages when its set to medium or high. You really have to give it some gas for it to engage in those higher two settings. I am glad you got it all worked out!

Post some videos of it if you can!

Congratulations on another successful Blitz installation. Yours happened so fast that you did not have the chance to start your own thread!

nice job, can't wait to see pics and vids

cali yaris · 03-15-2009, 11:45 PM

Rich,

the "low" position means the compressor kicks in SOONER, so that's why you like it.

I think it goes like this -- can someone confirm?

Low = 25% throttle
Med = 50%
High = 75%

LtNoogie · 03-15-2009, 11:52 PM

Yeah, that's it. Most of us use Low or Med. I flip-flop between the two settings. Depends on whether it's hypermiler week or not.

PETERPOOP · 03-16-2009, 12:31 AM

I either use low or off. No point in putting it in medium since I never press the gas pedal that far down if i'm not doing WOT or "racing."

cali yaris · 03-16-2009, 10:43 AM

I find it annoying to drive with the switch on HIGH or even MEDIUM due to the fact that I have to press down much farther on the acceleratror pedal for the boost to kick in,

That is because it's controlled by throttle position, and NOT by RPM.

Total boost achieved should not be affected by the setting. To test this, try some WOT 0-60 at all three settings. Should be the same ETA.

mrbond · 03-21-2009, 11:28 PM

LtNoogie, I was thinking about this earlier today: I know that for centrifugal superchargers you have the option of putting a slightly smaller pulley on the unit to increase boost. Do you think that could be done with the Blitz unit?

cali yaris · 03-21-2009, 11:57 PM

^ No, it can't be done. This is because the Blitz pulley is a clutch pulley. You'd have to redesign the whole thing with a smaller pulley -- very expensive proposition.

You COULD just put a fixed pulley on it, but then your on/off/lo/med/hi switch wouldn't work, and the tune might not be right with the fuel controller's map, either.

The other way to blow more boost is to use a larger crank pulley. NST is working on the idea.

LtNoogie · 03-22-2009, 01:29 AM

^What he said. Some Blitz'd owners are playing with putting a larger throttle body on the intake side. Others are installing larger exhaust pipes and low-flow mufflers to let the system breathe easier. I don't know of a way to squeeze more boost out the compressor.

Really the only option would be a pully on squeezing out more, but from the looks of how much space there is to play with, it's not going to happen

Hello everyone. I am trying to get my boost gauge to work but so far no good! All I canget on the gauge is vacuum. NO boost reading. I tried the gauge hooked up to the PCV hose.... NO BOOST. Then I tried cannister purge hose....NO BOOST reading here either. Can anyone suggest any place that I can hook up the gauge so I can read boost?
I am at my wita end with this. Thank you.

On your Blitz intake manifold, you screwed in a threaded brass plug during installation. It sits right below the air intake tube. To add a vacuum/boost gauge, you unscrew that plug and screw in the brass nipple that came with the kit. Your vacuum hose goes on that nipple.

I can take a picture later if you haven't found it.

This is where you tap into the intake manifold for a boost gauge.

CAN ANYONE OUT THERE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO RE-SET THE S-MODEL (WITH TACH) DASH CLUSTER "MAINTAINANCE REQUIRED" LIGHT THAT COMES ON AFTER 10,000 MILES AND DOES SO AGAIN EVERY 5,000 MILES PER TOYOTA. EVEN THEY COULD NOT TELL ME HOW TO RE-SET IT. I could not find it in the owner's manual either.
