Well, you did just say 1NZ-FE. Okay, a Yaris is a Yaris right? So how come JDM bumpers won't fit our USDM ones unless we get a JDM crash bar? "Same car" right?

rarer than JDM -1 of 1!

If I could jump in this heated debate for a second.
I think this kit is the cat's meow, but getting someone to be the first on here is tough. Although I'm decently well versed as a weekend mechanic, I don't know enough about toyota's to say if this is a bolt-on affair. In my experience, MANY parts designed as bolt-on need some sort of modification, for any car. I.E. strut bar rubs a.c. line, coilover didn't come with a brakeline bracket, etc. But as far as options go, people, this is a viable S.C. option. To go from 85 WHP o.e.m. to 142-150 WHP with this kit is amazing. If I were in the market for this kit right now, this would be the be all end all of my power gain searching. With a few more bolt ons that other vendors offer, I'd say you could add another 10-15 WHP or so. But without this kit on a car on american soil dyno, i'd say you still need to prove the power gains as substantial as you suggest. OK, carry on. |

I realize many Americans like myself are skeptical of things on "word" or business done on a "handshake" but this company, based in Japan, follows the principles followed still by most if not a good majority of Japanese companies, that is reputation of word, company, and person is worth its wait in gold. now this isnt, a moral competition, but at the same time people need to have a little faith that there are still companies that make and stand by what they sell and manufacture. When you go to a gas station, you expect gas to pump into your car, its a given expectation, you dont expect water, milk or any other fluid other than the octane gas you choose. the same goes with out products, when you see something you want, and read what is described, that is what you get nothing more, nothing less.

i was looking at getting the 1st gen Xb intake manifold by weapon r until i learned that the Xb throttle body was cable driven and had a 3 bolt pattern where the yaris is drive by wire and has a 4 bolt pattern which meant i would have spent $700 on a manifold that i couldnt use. i may not have the money to buy this supercharger but i have enough money to place a bet that this kit will not install without some kind of issue big or small. if some one with the patience and money just try this kit so that this can be laid to rest and Power Enterprises Evan can start making some money. everyone will be happier in the end if we do. now can we please stop bashing Power Enterprises Evan, its REALLY making this a boring thread |

All i have to say is that its true, just cus the engine code is the same does not mean that it will be the same exact engine in every model that carries it. I had 2005 Rav4 with the same 2azfe engine which is the same in the tc, but the engine cover and intake are completly different, i tried to get the trd supercharger for the tc in my rav but trd said it wouldnt work because the mounts bracket etc. is completly different. I know that in japan this kit costs 5k, so 3800 or watever power evan said in the earlier thread is not bad at all. but what i dont get is why P.E. has a superchager kit for the honda fit for about he same price and it makes 170ps, wat is up with that? will there be a stage 2 kit in future for the yaris? and if so, if i buy the current supercharger kit and later u guys come out with another more power variant will it just be a simple upgrade from the previous one or would i have to buy it entirely as a replacement? |

Rotrex and PE Japan, generally go with the assumption and "safe-side" of modification. assuming you have a stock engine now i will say that it isnt hard to upgrade the pulley, but any evidence that the pulley has been tampered with will void your warranty. so if you think you can pull off a mod with no detection be my guest, but its the engineers that do the inspection... not me

And I UNDERSTAND when you said Yaris supercharge kit, and again, I was pointing out when a member said that since we have a 1NZ-FE motor, that all parts will fit, and I simply pointed out that other cars' supercharger kits with the same motor will not be a direct bolt on. |
