Higher RPM's do not more HP numbers make...just because riceboy in his built b18 integra makes his peak HP at 9k RPM's does not mean a yaris will. In the performance section a turbo kit for the yaris is being tested as we speak...and if I remember correctly they are around 180hp without building the bottom end to make the engine rev higher. High RPM's mean more to go wrong...rods through the block are a example that comes to mind. It will be very hard to use a stand alone engine management system to control the motor at high RPM's, because the yaris' throttlebody is electronic...much more difficult to get a EMU that will work with it. Fuel modifications, bigger valves & cams, and boost however, these are things we both agree on! [/threadjack] Anyone wish to start the time honored debate of Synthetic VS Synthetic Blend?

9000rpms is nothing for a 1.5L engine, if built properly. A 1.5L should be able to do 12k with no issues. But why spend the money. Engine management is a huge issue, of course. 180hp on a stock bottom with a 6500 rpm redline does make all the fuss of getting into anything else seem almost pointless.and for that matter....... Synthetic oil rocks!!! I couldn't help myself.
