you need to see the compressor map for that given unit to know how well it compares to the other superchargers on the market.

and it looked like the compressor not the turbine.

I spoke to Oscar @ PRI & to the rep for Rotrex, its not going to happen unless all the pulleys are changed. Here the problem, the Yaris has 3 groove pulleys. The Rotrex need minimal 5 grooves. I had the brackets done before I spoke to the Rotrex rep. It fits without a problem. Just that changing the pulleys would make the kit expensive.

Oops wrong choice of words there

They have three different sizes available, this is for the mid-sized one:

and for the small-size one:

Both of them should be applicable to our engines, according to their ratings. There's a lot more info at www.rotrex.com, if someone more knowledgeable then myself can take a look and share their opinion

Could we not use an aftermarket accessory pulley for a Scion (for example), which has the extra space for the power steering belt (which the Yaris does not use), and run it off that? If not, it should not cost all that much to get a custom pulley done, seeing what's available out there...

does anyone know if the 1nzfe out of an 04 scion xb would work in a yaris?
