Blitz install questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

47_MasoN_47 · 09-25-2012, 09:42 AM

Alrighty, I got started on my Blitz install last night. Made decent progress up until actually mounting the manifold to the engine. It says in the guide to move the fuel rail out of the way, but I dunno how you are supposed to move it with the tube running through this hole.

Everything fit in place without having to move the fuel rail, but I can't get to the nut that goes into the bottom of the manifold.

With a little persuasion, you can move tip/tilt the rail enough to allow access to the bolt. I've worked on two installs, and was a little timid with the first one. Have no fear, you won't break anything.

^ +1.

Also remember your altenator gets turned upside down, as I recall.

Did you download the edited instructions from our forums?

47_MasoN_47 · 09-25-2012, 10:33 AM

I got the alternator installed (although I had to mount the alternator to the bracket, then install the whole thing rather than install the bracket then mount the alternator to it as the instructions say). With the angle of that picture the alternator is perfectly hidden, ha.

I believe I got the right instructions, this is the one I used.

cali yaris · 09-25-2012, 11:06 AM

Yes, that's the better set of instructions, edited by JoJo.

Check out this thread as well from when I installed mine. It may save you some time:

Thanks man.

I definitely didn't depressurize the fuel system first. How much of a problem will that be?

When you loosen the fuel rail, you'll get a bit of a shower. You might want to disconnect the connector where the plastic tubing meets the fuel rail, so you can wrap a rag around it while disconnecting to not make such a mess.

Ah ok.

BTW is this the type of wrench he was talking about when he talked about the ratcheting swivel box end wrench?

Yes.

Ok, another question. How the crap does this dipstick bracket deal work? It looks to me like it's too thick to put on that L shaped bracket that holds the compressor to the manifold. I also don't see how it's supposed to mount to the OEM dipstick bracket.

47_MasoN_47 · 09-25-2012, 09:01 PM

I mean, it's not load bearing or anything right? I'm considering just zip tying that bracket to an unused flange on the back end of the compressor, then zip tying the dipstick pipe to the bracket.

Here's mine:

47_MasoN_47 · 09-25-2012, 11:26 PM

Hmm, mine wouldn't fit that way. There wasn't enough length on the bolt for it to go through the bracket, flange, and L shaped bracket. I ended up using a spare flange on the compressor, bolted the bracket to that with some stuff I had lying around, then zip tied the dipstick to the bracket.

I'm now at this point where I believe I just need a longer hose to get the hose you can see in the top of the image onto the nipple at the bottom. I saw where you mentioned needing a piece of hose, so I'm guessing this is where.

This is what it currently looks like. I've noticed my top compressor tube thing has a kinda ugly weld seam that most people don't seem to have.

cali yaris · 09-26-2012, 12:15 AM

^ I'll check the extra blower we have for that tomorrow.

47_MasoN_47 · 09-26-2012, 01:30 AM

Oh sweet, I wasn't sure if that was just how they were made now or what.

Every one I've seen has that weld. Some people have custom finished that piece and have ground the weld down. Maybe that is what you are visualizing.

Here is a link to another install where you can see the weld is as pronounced as yours.
