Blitz S/C being installed this Saturday!

[cali yaris]

whoa. Four years, it's a record!

[TOLMACH]

^ Wanted this thread readily accessible when I need it ))

Four years old but still awesome .. also in my case makes a difference between attempting an install and not even trying to do so due to poor mechanical skills.

Btw, do you by chance happen to remember any better thread on Blitz installation?

[cali yaris]

I'll do some searches. Not better, Long's was really good -- but just by other members doing installs.

There is also something about an airbag sensor in the engine compartment you can forget about that one also. I will be on here most of the day today, if you have any problems or questions just pm me and I will try to help you out as much as I can.

I've PM'd you. We are trying to put the alternator back on now and those B spacers are really confusing. Thanks

Thanks, Mike. I'll post pictures later this evening. I ended up not using one of the B spacers. I'll try to explain with the photos. I will definitely give you a call as we proceed further.

Cold, as defined here in Southern California, is around 45. Any colder than that, I switch to the Jeep and I put it in 4-wheel drive mode.

This could be very important info LTNOOGIE: I don't know if this true or not but I was warned by yarisdarkness not to use the TRD CAI with the blitz as it has a bypass valve that can be sucked in! I did not know that you had the trd till the last set pics you just posted. Maybe garm can contact blitz to verify this information. Yarisdarkness is a authorized blitz dealer so I would think this info is very accurate.

i thought i read somewhere that 2 pc intakes are not recommended for this application. hey mike good thing we got the single piece fujita cai.

i'll take a pic of my a/c line near the compressor and see what went wrong.

Wow, ok. I know that Garm checks this thread. I still have my stock airbox but I may have to switch to a one-piece CAI like you guys.

Anyone else with authoratative info on this?

whooppee, there really hasn't been an issue. We ran out of time but there was only the one red wire that I thought belonged inside the car.

Doc ran it into the engine compartment. Camell left it inside the car. It connects to Ignition +12V so I have my choice of either.

We really took our time here and have not had a mishap. Yet.

You just need to decide to use the crimps the kit provides or to solder the connections.

[whooppee777]

well good. now stop screwn around, drop everything ur doing and finish this damn thing. so i can here that this thing fires right up and works on the 2008 LB

You may be the one person who gets it done in a day and have time to drive the supercharged Yaris to the movies the same night!

So, when the belt broke, did that strand you? Did you have to be towed home?

Putting the belt on is not the easiest thing, at least for my length of belt.

Uh oh... really? Maybe this is why I'm having trouble starting my car after it's been sitting for a day. I've figured out that I'm having my fuel pressure bleed off. If I turn the key to "ON" and wait about 5 seconds before cranking, it starts up fine... but if not, it just cranks for a couple seconds, sputters and dies. Then starts fine after that. Hmmmmmm... maybe I need to re-examine my O-rings and replace them.

I didn't... I thought of that after I bought the 6-rib belt and cut it up. I think it's part #4080660.

Thanks to you and your finessing the A/C line! I need to know if you have a jpg or gif of the MicroImage logo. Would you mind if I have it etched on the engine cover?

I have to take the mental step of going WOT. I want to enjoy a couple of weeks of driving while I continue to tighten nuts and bolts. But, dyno day will come for sure.

I am curious if you are still running the TRD intake?

Taking the valve cover off was a piece of cake becaus there is nothing in the way. There is a rubber gasket ring that fits into a groove in the valve cover. I should have gotten a new gasket and may do so in the near future.

I am still using the TRD intake but will switch to the AEM intake when Garm and I can hook up. I also will order some gauges from him... wideband A/F, vacuum/boost, ???.
