Thank you.

AEM EMSv2 with a custom built Dezod Motorsports harness.

That is a full standalone unit I'm assuming?

Looking forward to it starting up, should be some impressive power coming out of it

Yes this unit is a full stand alone. The one thing about most builds is that people leave the drive by wire and place and they still use the MAF sensor. If that is the case then you're actually using it as a piggyback. You are still having the stock ECU handle some signaling. As of last year my build was 250 to the wheels and I was running my drive by wire throttle body still. This year I've made the switch over to cable plus the fact that I got rid of the MAF all together last year. I am looking for a great increase in potential as I have made solid jumps inflow from the turbo to the head as well as the exhaust manifold to the end of the exhaust itself. The head has an excellent port on it and has just been waiting to get the flow that it deserves.

The whole setup is looking good, real frightening. Whats the weakest link in your Yaris after the new upgrades? Can't wait to see what you guys do with the downpipe/wastegate routing.

Since I have the TRD dogbone and the torque damper the CV shafts should be fine. I still have a stock trans and even tho I now have that 6 puck ACT stage III clutch that could be an issue. An engineer from ACT pretty much said flat out that over 300tq and I will need a truly custom clutch assembly because he doesn't think it will hold up over the long haul at the duration I will be running with high rpm shifts. Guess only time will tell. Garm's axles as well as a few of the folks I have talked with from PTR held up fine with mid 300s. Chew I believe is still running stock axles on his 500+whp build.

Well that's what you get for being one of the Yaris platform pioneers lol. Who's going to tune your Yaris after you're completely done?

I and my buddy will be. The plan is to head to the Dyno down state and rent it for a day. Then sadly it will be put into storage until we move in a couple months. I sold my winters and the falken 912s aren't very good in sub 30° weather.

Are you going to record the dyno runs as well?

Yes we do plan on doing so if all goes well.

Per your request. The wastegate is mounted on the manifold directly below the turbo. The dump pipe routing as you can see comes out and will dump in front of the transmission as a screamer pipe. The pipe has a mounting bracket that will allow it to move with the trans/motor during load. We will have to cut a hole in my MI underpanel. We had kicked around the idea of porting it out of the front fender right behind the driver's headlight, but the shape of the headlight housing itself made that pretty dicey. I am a bit bummed about it to be honest because I think that it would be fun to spit fire out of the side of the car, but alas just not in the cards. It would have also been a PITA if we did that as soot would run the side of the car.

We were going to custom fab up the battery kit, but in the efforts to cut time I instead picked up this kit from Taylor Cable. The good thing about this is that since it is 8.1 certified with NHRA the LSRs will accept it as well.

That's a creative way of routing the dump tube in that small amount of space, she's going to make all kinds of scary noises.
Thank you for the pictures,is the fuel line/wiring loom/coolant lines that close to the dump tube or is it just the pictures?

EDIT: Are you going to use a stock sized battery with that relocation?

Because of everything right now being dry still doing work the fuel lines and wire loom are not in their final positions.

As for the battery no its not a stock size battery. it's actually a different battery which is smaller however still somewhat heavy due to the fact that it will provide me the additional amp hours needed to drive all of my extra electronics compared to what a racing battery would do. I got a great deal so pulled the trigger a few months ago:

We plan to mod the Taylor box to drop the size and conserve space in the trunk.

New Intake Manifold has been 100% completed as well as the throttle body being plumbed. Pretty pumped about this. Also a sneak peak of the new color scheme. The "satin black" appears to be much more of a gunmetal pearl, but it is starting to grow on me. The purple is in honor of the other half as it is her favorite color. Who knows if she will like it tho since she has grown to really dislike the car....haha.

Is your fuel in line on the opposite side as stock or did you add a fuel return line?

we ran a new braided line for the fuel inbound and used the stock line for the return. that is the standard setup for folks that upgrade the system on these cars.

So close to firing the sleeping dragon we can taste it.

Exhaust piping arrived to day:





Quick and dirty of the remaining items:

- valve cover blast and coat
- coil pack vanity cover
- install new valve cover stainless bolts
- finish battery reloc
- finish wiring for hot side AIT sensor
- finish exhaust
- install shift light

Can't wait to hear it fire up, looking forward to the videos of that happening

what is that second smaller looking airfilter located near you intake filter?

Second Q is why do you run a return fuel line vs how it's set up stock with no return line? I'm assuming it has something to do w/ the extra fuel pressure you need to run with the larger injectors.
