Got a selling price set yet? I couldn't spot mention of $$s in this thread.

Not yet... I just ordered a dozen blocks for the first production run and the shop hasn't gotten back to me yet on the material cost.

From the original concept on November 29th to a dyno tested prototype took only a little over 3 months and that was with the holidays. So if all goes well, I should have finished products ready to ship in another month for a total elapsed time of 4 months from virtual concept to the reality of a finished product ready to sell.

This is the advantage of a microbusiness where just one person calls all the shots.

In the meantime, can you source a shipping quote to L0P 1K0 Ontario, Canada? Preferably USPS.

Sure. The spacer and hardware will fit into a USPS international medium flat rate box which is $42.25. That same box ships domestically for $12.35, so the additional shipping cost to Canada would be $30.

When they're available they'll be offered for sale at $265 including shipping. The shop still has tooter II.VII Tacoma spacers in the works so the I.V's will be machined once they're completed.

Bummer great mod, but out of my price range right now. I'm curious Tooter, what do you think the spacer would yield on a bone stock Yaris?

From the dyno tests I've seen, a stock Yaris makes about 91 horsepower and 91 foot pounds of torque at the wheels.

So extrapolating the results I got with my engine, the spacer would only make about 92 horsepower and 94 foot pounds of torque.

Note on the graph that the peak values for both hardly go up at all with the spacer. The biggest difference is in the profile of the torque curve, and that the torque peak is reached 450 rpm sooner.
