The focus of the discussion should be on power. There is a larger demand for power from tuning solutions than there is fuel economy, although I will make a point to mention that if they can improve fuel economy on a closer to stock Yaris that may generate interest as well. |

Split Second makes some cool stuff. I know those guys through some mutual friends. Also, are there Unichips available for the Yaris? |

The chance of getting a "reflash" type solution is slim. The only hope is that the xd is popular enough to get one, and we could use it as well. For Subarus and Evos there is open source free software to flash the ECU and make any changes you want. Unfortunately there is not that kind of demand in the Yaris market. Probably a Unichip or other piggy back is the most cost effective solution, with add on fuel and timing controllers coming in 2nd. |

Also Charles, keep in mind that if they have a test car in south africa, the ECU may not be the same as yours. Seeing how seemingly easy it is for SouthEast Asia tuners to set up turbo kits, I am quite sure the US ECU is a lot more finicky.

The tune will increase crusing fuel economy if done correcty.
I can help with the response if needed. I'd even be willing to test it. |

Yes, that seems to be the case. Open loop tuning should be far easier (as ZPI did), but for some reason looking at the Blitz'ed guys results, that doesn't seem to work too well. In other words we're really looking for a solution to cover both closed loop and open loop operation.

Who said Yaris was slow?

Unichip is what all the Thai turbo Yaris are using with good success. There are a couple of Thai members with the ZAGE turbo kit using the unichip.
However, UNICHIP in the US does not show any supported aplication for the Yaris. I remeber someone from this forum contacting them a long time ago but I gues nothing came out of that... |

You basically need full timing control, and fueling adjustment in open loop. |

I have a dealer tuning kit for the Unichip, so If I could get the right chip, I could concievably make it work. |

Going back to the Unich topic...
The memeber using it is REVOTURBO from Indonesia They are using Dastek unichip type Q and dastek turbo module However they are using larger injectors and a 5th injector set up http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...636#post186636 |

hey guys! i stay in South Africa , i will give this guy a call , and see what he says. i think the US and south african yari's should have similar ECU's , so if it works on ours , should work on yours. a friend of mine have a honda Jazz 1.5 vtec / honda fit ,he fitted a UNICHIP , and he gained 4 kw from the chip alone , so not to bad , but then again , the ECU might be different. i'll get back to you guys. |

5th injector's a bit of a last resort solution/hack though, isn't it?

he Greddy F-Manage enables you to control the feedback to your ECU, opening a range of tuning possibilities. Features * Controls feedback of air/fuel ratio to the standard ECU * Does not control air/fuel ratio, this is used in conjunction with fuel controllers * Can be used simultaneously with e-Manage Ultimate data logger * DIP switches enable control of maps and switch on/off |

Doesn't seem to be officially released outside of Japan, though, so good luck getting instructions in English...
http://www.trust-power.com/03electric/fmanage.html Seems to have a NCP91 harness already, nice. But, the million dollar question, will it be able to dance around the ECU's emissions checks...
