Has anyone tried a yaris diesel conversion?
I would love to import a 1.4 D and try it (85mpg sounds good to me!) Especially if we can run WVO. That's going down the road at approx 80mpg for almost free! The big question is...(drumroll)....what auto tranny (no manual trannys in this house) does the 1.4 D use? It will take a real Yaris geek to answer this one. I hope that it will simply "bolt up" to the current transmission (what model # is mine? 2007 auto?)
Thanks guys! J wilhelm 44.2 mpg avg in the mtns of colorado using 85 octane |

I was in France this past summer and checked out the Yaris D-4D at a dealer on the outskirts of Paris. If my wife would have let me spend a day searching out junkyards, I would have shipped myself home one of the 1NDTV engines. They get paired up with either a 6 speed multi-mode (EC-65A) or a 6 speed manual transmission (EC65). Both of which are different from what gets paired with our 1.5, but the same as what gets paired with the 1.3L.

I like the spunkyness of the yaris too much to do that to it. I hear what you give up is being able to drive faster than 55MPH and a 0-60 in 45s. (not literally)
