Also, is there going to be a heat shield offered for the ECM? Looks kinda close to it in terms of the heat being let off.

well that style is a good concept cause the tilt would be fucional depending on the intake mani. the mor it stick out give it a better angle. . .

I would like to know the opinion from the guy making the kit...

[Thej3sta2]

also the original design looks like it might hit with an after market Intake Mani. That is if its a log design. Id say go with my design and give me a free turbo kit.

I reckon the yaris would look awesome with a WRX hood scoop.

if you've ever seen under the hood of a WRX it looks nothing like that ;)



hoods are cheap.. i say do the V-mount design that thejesta posted, and chop that hood open :D

This is the TRD TMIC for the 1NZ on the first gen Yaris TS.

It doesn't even use an hood scoop. I has like a plastic device attached under the hood that takes the air from the front grill and channels it to the IC.

I'm thinking that the original would be better due to the fact that it's direct ram air in the front dam as opposed to collecting some engine heat from inside the engine bay (hence why most top mount cars tend to get a front mount later on when modifying).

Unless they want to offer a stage one with a top mount and a stage two with the front mount.

well, the original is what he's MAKING, as far as I know -- I think he's done with designing it and laying it out. Maybe the OP can confirm.

[ztrack157]

one of the guys who bought the intake from trickie dickie should loan it to this guy to do a fitment test and a dyno run. And of course they should get a nice discount for the loan out

[at3GG]

what brand/size/model etc is the intercooler?

[mark7337]

so would a t3 t4 do good with this kit or a tdo4 please bare with me i think those are the turbos stock on srt 4s would that do good on this kit

[gboezio]

I'm glad someone have the balls to build one, but I ever overcome my women "you ain't touching this one !!" rule, I would use a Garrett unit and nothing else, they are more expensive but well worth the extra money, but that's me.
As far as fuel management, the e-throttle is the big headache, I'm not aware how hard it is to reflash this ECU and if someone have the BIN files extracted and decoded yet !?
Sure thing a RRFPR could do the job up to 4 to 6 PSI, but would trigger the CEL for sure.

[cali yaris]

No one has been able to reflash this ECU yet --- go for it.

Garrett FTW, agreed.

[Nexus1155]

well im going to be going back onto hacking the ecu as with all of the information i gathered and parts i just ordered today, im going to be making a thread in a minute......I hope this turbo kit comes through, or else im going to buy an Eaton M45 supercharger that i saw for cheap cheap....MOAR UPDATES

I assume that if and when the kit is produced, you all will be doing this as a "weekend" install yourselves?

From recent experience on another "minor" project, it helps to have small hands, a buddy to help, and a second car. Working during daylight hours or in a well-lit garage is a must.

Start collecting all the metric tools you can get during the holiday sale season. Socket extensions, Torx sockets, metric hex keys... they all make good stocking stuffers to yourself.

Did I mention you need a second car?

[PETERPOOP]

haha, thanks for the tips. i got it covered! you see my garage? second car is not a problem! more tools is always a must though
