I know Motec and Haltech are around but I would have to do a lot of rewiring to the engine harness, which I would probably end up having to do if nobody decides to make a unit for us Yaris owners.
Piggybacks work but are limited, no anti-lag, timing control, etc. Hondas are so much easier, lol.
I want to see if this 1.6 liter can put down 250 to the ground reliably with the stock bottom end. We were able to do it with a 1.6 liter SOHC Honda motor, but it took ARP studs and a 1.2mm headgasket to do it.
Anyways, we need a standalone system.

Call COBB Tuning and ask for Justin, 801-713-0035. COBB released information that they are producing an AccessPORT for Toyotas some time in 2007.

The AccessPORT is a small hand held tuner that plugs into the factory OBD2 port allowing you to completely tune the factory ECU. No need for piggy backs or standalones. Just the AccessPORT and no other mods makes like 30-40 HP on a WRX so it should be your first engine modification on a Yaris.

Machine 1: AEM is about to release their FIC (Fuel Ignition Controller). It is unlike any piggy back on the market. Check out www.aempower.com. It is specifically made for OBD2 N/A motors that are turbochared.

Bigggie: Do not expect 30-40hp on a N/A motor, the WRX gets those type of gains do tune VERY conservative factory tuning. Also any turbo motor will gain that much when not rellying on the factory computer.

Haha, I know... I actually work for COBB and want the AccessPORT for my own Yaris. I just know how things work, with a noticeable demand the priorities might change in our favor.

If every Yaris owner on this site calls in, I'm sure it will motivate production!
