Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the yaris, I love my car. I think it's a great car for fuel economy, and for the price it's a nice solid car. But I wouldn't even think about doing anything for performance, it wouldn't make sense because the gains would not be worth the cost. For instance, the Megan header, it looks exactly like the stock piece!!

And yes, that gain is pretty sad for the cost of that kit. 21 HP. I think I can get that N/A. We'll see. |

There's a 'Blitz' decal on the rear 3/4 glass.
If I were to build a car for performance, I'd go with an EG hatchback and go from there. As for this particular Yaris, I think there's still more to be squeezed out of it. It's amazing how little you really need to make 2300 lbs go like heck, as long as you don't have any delusions of being the world's fastest FWD or think you can take on MKIV Supra's or Mustangs on the freeway. Hopefully Turbo mag will keep project Yaris ongoing since the NCP91 platform is still relatively new. If you look in the Vitz HyperRev, damn near anything and everything was available for the older Vitz. In time it's almost certain the same can be said for the newer car. Me personally, I'd like to see a 2ZZ swap. That being said, the Project Yaris car apparently sucks balls. The HP gain doesn't justify the price of the kit. BUT, if the Siphon shootout is anything to go by, I'm sure this car can take on any similarly modded B-seg cars.

I bet we could get real close to those 20HP gains if not a bit higher with short ram intake, header, 2.25 race exaust (cat less), Complete NST pulley set (when the rest of them come out).... shit, you throw a lil 25 squrit of Nitrous you would be running circles around that Blitz Yaris all day for about 1/2 the $$$

Id rather get an engine conversion... maybe transfer the power to the rear or all wheel drive.

funny how they state everything is in matching blue even the rears seats, but im not sure the back seat plays much of a role in any yaris much less one with a blitz kit and two huge sparco seats. next thing youll see is smartcar with a turbo and some recaros, maybe a greddy cat back too.

The 119hp they're referring to is wheel hp, the chart looks like a dynojet chart, which translates to about 135hp flywheel.

then i guess it's not "too" bad of a gain compared to the blitz vitz unless i'm wrong.

Something alwasy just looks wrong when the backend of the Yaris is low like that. I can't quite put my finger on it, when so many other cars look great with that stance. Something about the shape of the rear...
