I think the biggest problem is the camshaft. There is no one out there to make aftermarket performance camshaft. You can put a ITB on the 1NZFE but the stock camshaft is so low lift than the ITB set up is usless. I am always a NA guy. On the other hand, the Blitz supercharger is a pretty good piece since you can choose to start you supercharge in OFF, LOW, MID, HIGH. So if you dont want to use the supercharger, you can just turn it off.
Unlike the Greddy one, They are always on.

While we are on the topic of N/A, what do you guys think are realistic numbers for a done up N/A Yaris? We're talking pistons, rods, cams, ITB's, everything. I always had more respect for people that tuned their cars without the use of FI. However, I don't think the 1NZFE is potent enough to put up any kind of numbers without FI. What do you all think?

I think it really depends on how much money you want to put in it... look at the much more primitive 4AGE... look at how much power the Forumla Atlantic version makes... I'm sure the 1NZFE could be built to have similar numbers to that, but it'd be mostly useless on the street. I assume you could get near what the greddy charger gives and still have it be streetable.

I must admit I don't read all reply to that threat. Just by reading the initial question, I think it doesn't make sens. "Yaris" and "performance" in the same phrase doesn't make sense. "Yaris" and "cheap car", or "fuel economic", or "reliable cheap car" is more credible.
I don't buy an Echo for performance, I buy it because it was cheap and the fuel economy is awesome. It was very reliable too.

As far as I know the engine should be able to handle a good amount of power from a turbo. Here in Thailand there is another car called the Soluna Vios, basically a mini sedan, which also comes in a factory turbo version, but the engine is the same as the Yaris, and does 143HP. Here's abit of info:
http://paultan.org/archives/2005/11/...ta-vios-turbo/ So in theory it may be possible to transplant that engine into a yaris :D |

probably be cheaper to just swap in the 2zz, or even maybe a k20 motor to get good power. It is very doable, and you'll be making more power then the car could ever make NA, or with a turbo by just adding a stock motor swap. The recent super street had a honda fit on the cover with a k20 making around 240whp!!!

K20 swap would probably be the best upgrade as far as swaps go. So what if your going with a Honda engine. Probably will need to get Custom Mounts, but the car will be a beast. Considering it weigh it lot less then the rsx also.

If you're looking for severe performance out of a Yaris, you should have bought a Fit.

I really would enjoy a more toyota way, since the car u are using is a toyota. Cause if you are going with the engine of another brand greater problems will arise as plugs and electronic signals from other components. We are talking here, I think of a DD Yaris with 2ZZ swap, which I think is more..."in the line".

Has anyone read about the Mazdaspeed 3?
Nearly 300 HP in a Yaris would be insane... no? |
