....you're still logged in ;)

Had me laughing.

We can seee youuu

[xnamerxx]

So I see you want to still play. Lets skip the character bashing and how about you just answer some questions.

1.Why did your tuner release your car running so dangerously lean?

2.Against common knowledge why was your car running so dangerously lean?

3.Why does your power level out at 5200 rpms?

4.Why are you running a aftermarket intake and limiting yourself to 6000 rpms?

5.What is the duty cycle on your fuel injectors running those rpms and boost?

6.Having spent so much money on the engine and having connections throughout the industry why are you running stock valve spring?

7.How did you come up with the fact that your cams have too much overlap when thats controlled by how the cams are degreed?

8.How much total timing do you have dialed in on your combination?



Since I'm the know it all with no knowledge about anything please explain those simple questions for me. No need to bash here and knowledge as to why any of those things are happening would be furthering the knowledge on this forum.

can you swap suspension? brakes? transmission? list goes on....

its not really a comparison...

actually, the xb/xa/echo is in no way "swappable" with the yaris.. suspension is different, brakes are different, hubs are different, interior (seats) are different, engine management is different (DBW instead of cable throttle)

so, they share most of the same engine.. that's about it. the transmissions don't even swap back and forth without modification. this idea that they're the same platform is wrong.

So what about all the guy and gals on this forum with '00-'05 model yaris?

I think this thread is getting to everybody . I was on scionlife.com and clubxb.com, and it's where I found a bunch of my parts for my car. And now i'm here...all is well as long as we can learn from each other.
Tamago was the one that confirmed for me that the xb trans would fit into my echo (thanks btw), I might not have gotten an answer elsewhere!

...this thread is going no where fast

[MaineYaris12]

like the 80% of the threads on here

[Yoda]

I vote to lock it. There is no more useful information being put in.

[Tamago]

keep it open, so he can keep coming back to defend his tunner's "honner"

[changchewsoon]

oh he's banned? i haven't been logging in for a while now, didn't realize so much as happened!

Ditto. I just dont care for people who bash others because they are not using top of the line parts. The Yaris is a cheap car and most people here will modify on a budget and be creative with parts. I had a post on my turbo thread from XBG about buying fittings from ace hardware store for my turbo oil drain line. Yes, I guess I could have bought 200$ aeroquip fittings from a hot rod shop like him, but I would rather not put 20,000$ into a 13,000$ car. It just dont make no sense to me.

But those 5 dollars parts will fail because they aren't anodized and make of super secret special "Aircraft Aluminum".

Some times cheap and dirty works just as well as expensive and clean.

And I would. BUT you won't find me criticizing the budget method. It's ALL good in my book.

[PETERPOOP]

I'm definitely half way to the 20,000 mark. X(

Went to a fitting place to get an oil drain fitting to mate up to an oil drain flange. Went to a hot rod shop first, asked for aluminum ones, they said no and sent me to this place.

Went to the counter and asked the guy about the fitting there along with hose. He just looks at me and was like THERE IS NO REASON TO USE THOSE ALUMINUM FITTINGS ON CARS. Tosses me a steel one makes the line discounted me and has worked flawless. $8 later instead of.... maybe $50 ???

[pimp my yaris]

I have a friend that once worked at a local machine shop on a CNC machine and they produced some aeroquip fittings. He was bragging that they were used on the space shuttle. Then I asked him if that was the reason it kept blowing up in a ball of fire!
