They wanted $340.00 for one at my dealership but I want to know how much performance/gas mileage I will be benifiting first

Toddhata · 07-20-2006, 07:17 PM

I was quoted $312, but that's still a lot I think. How's the K&N R&D going, anyone know when that's going to be available?

I don't know about the others but they put my info into the database and that's the last I've heard.

I talked to the toyota dealership today and they told me that they expected to see K&N filters (oil and air) in about 2 months. So I figure that Oct. would be a good time st start looking again.

Im sorry but Im with Chris on this - the shop that sold the 'distributor underdrive pulley' probably also sold you your headlamp fluid... I bet cars run awsome with the timing set way retarded - lol, does anyone here actually remember what a distributor is?

dude... i didn't buy crap. Distributor is used to route the voltage in the correct firing order to the spark plugs.

i'm simply stating what a guy told my friend. And i will still stand by that a lightened crank pulley will show noticable gains.

wlfpck · 07-24-2006, 01:33 AM

ah my mistake. my friend meant underdriving the altenator and the a/c.

my mistake.

but i still still stand by my previous statement that a lightened crank pulley will show good results.

Knowone said it wouldn't.... its your other comment you were so sure of, that everyone was questioning.

wlfpck · 07-24-2006, 10:33 AM

true true. well let me rephrase now that i know what my friend actually meant.

underdriving the altenator is bad for older cars. There i believe thats right.

mikeukrainetz · 07-24-2006, 03:46 PM

not so much bad for the car as bad for the alt.

heylookitsjames · 07-24-2006, 06:19 PM

If you underdrive the alternator by putting on a smaller pully at the crank then it will produce less amperage and things like big subwoofers and bright headlights will suffer. A larger, higher amp alternator will cure this problem but will also be harder to spin and probably negate the performance increase found from the underdriving. Underdriving also increases the chance of the waterpump cavititating to the point of failure and decreases the effectiveness of the airconditioning. However, one nice thing about the yaris is that the power steering would be unaffected because it is electric, not hydro...

idk bout the whole electronics thingy. but just a question though. couldn't you install capacitors? idk if that would work though.

you guys are lucky that you can have subs then. I'm afraid to get any cuz i live in chicago. I was afraid to even get a in dash cd player for my 91 accord. got one though. I was paranoid for like 3 days.

mikeukrainetz · 07-25-2006, 12:33 AM

sure miss the good old days, one speaker in the dash, no subs, no HID... always an oversized alt. - dont miss the shitty gas mileage. Underdriving a big block would have little effect, however underdriving the Yaris may have some small benefits provided your not running a couple 12's etc (guess im out)
You have to be seriously underdriving your accessories to have major problems. Someone should post actual HP gains to let everyone know how much it actually improves anything.

Drummerdawgmr-s · 07-27-2006, 01:00 PM

i have always been under the impression that trd parts were completely covered under factory warrenty...and about the installationg you could say that another dealer did it.....unless they keep all service records on a computer database that all the dealerships share....then u cant say that....lmao

Chaad32 · 07-27-2006, 07:57 PM

good point. But what if they ask who did it for conformation?

rossa · 08-15-2006, 02:54 PM

Just FYI, I work at Fujita Air and Toyota actually gave us a project Yaris to fix up. We have the sedan and are currently in the process of making the intake for it. Just another option to be aware of.
