unusual engine swap

[bronsin]

First person I ever heard who said the Yaris engine wasn't good enough for them! The Yaris engine is 106hp. By comparison the 1972 BMW 2002 TTI (fuel injected) was 100 hp and considered awesome in its day.

I had my ECHO with the same engine up to 106 mph on the NJTPK once when passing a left lane blocker who sped up when you tried to pass him using the center lane.

He matched my speed briefly but backed down when I put my foot on the floor and left it there come what may!

Three other cars (BMWs and MB) tried and failed to get past him. (Saab) Whimps!

1.5 liter Yaris good enough for me!

Why y0u picking 0n 0lder cars. The Mazda 2, suzuki swift, and maybe even the Hyundai accent can get by a Yaris. L0L.

The 1.5 engine is fantastic, n0t great. I have had it since brand new back then it was a sm00th and can get up hills n0 pr0b.

As they get 0ld they are sl0w.I w0uld upgrade t0 s0mething with a bit m0re p0p. K20 0r 2zr that can keep pr0viding that p0wer.
