Poll: What would you do?

[CTScott]

As someone who has had a blitz on one of his three Yaris for the past two years, I can say that it makes the car so much fun, without using much more fuel.

And, with the fact that you can switch it off completely, with the flick of a knob, if you have to do a long trip and want to save money by running 87 octane fuel, you can easily do so.

For the $1300 price tag of that used one, you can't even get close to the same result with anything else in that same price range.

But does the stock ECU have the range to run the blower safely?

When I put a blower on my vfr, I had to add a power commander 5 and auto tune.

So is this just a bolt up without other mods? how much boost have folks run, without blowing stuff up?

The blitz kit includes a fuel controller that works perfectly as a piggyback to the ECM (installation of it is pretty simple with about 10 wires being connected). This fuel controller though is designed to be used with a completely stock setup, so it will run a tad lean if an aftermarket intake is used, for example. An AEM F/IC does the trick for those trying to squeeze everything out of the blitz by adding and intake, etc.

I am not aware of anyone actually popping an engine with a blitz (which is limited to 6 lbs of boost), whereas a few have done so turbos and one with a greddy SC.


By the way, here's a link to my Blitz install thread for some pics of the wiring, etc.:
