should be pretty easy to do as well.

especially with the fabrication involved already.

trust me i understand that. if it comes down to it im sure thats what will be done, but i know bruce, he is a friend of mine and im pretty sure he wants to be able to drive the car on the street. i won't speak directly for him, but there has been no mention of this car being a purpose built race car.

p.s. bruce, if you read this, monday night we are starting operation lots of boost, you in?

There's a big transmission tunnel which has plenty of room to accommodate a 3" exhaust and two 1" pipes for coolant.

Hey guys...

Well i really don't what to have coolant pipes running the length of my car. I know its doable and many cars do that like a couple of lotus and i believe mr2s also. Its just a personal preference... I don't want to crash the car and have hot coolant pouring everywhere burning me (not that it couldn't happen if the pipes didn't run through the car).

And i do plan on driving this car not just on the track but also daily drive it on the street.

This car was also made so that i could replace parts with off the shelf parts without waiting for custom parts to come in. I was pretty strict on that... It needs to be serviceable without costing me an arm and a leg to do it.

More pictures will come shortly ;)

use hard lines for the coolant. no issues there

Was not expecting to see a 4A-GTE blacktop install ala' AW11 style in a Yaris. Very nice work. How much time would you say you've invested in this?

Not sure how much money but I think enough to feed 1000 kids in a third world country for a year...

Trumanpriest · 07-08-2009, 03:29 PM

It's an impressive concept and execution for sure. Be Interested to see what and how you pull on a dyno.

turboecho2005 · 07-08-2009, 03:37 PM

It's has 503 hp right now.... The motors currently have stock internals. When we just had the from motor in we were making 228whp....

Bluevitz-rs · 08-20-2009, 10:35 AM

So any fresh pictures or stories to tell?

cali yaris · 08-20-2009, 11:56 AM

503 -- together? how do you measure that, anyway?

Do you dyno them separately?
