havent receiverd it yet

I used to think I was an excellent clutch driver. then I bought this yaris. I've stalled this car more times than my metro and festiva combined and I've only had it 7 months. At first I figured it was a touchy clutch but now i blame the drive by wire. they need to build a 10th of a second delay into the dang clutch pedal so it matches the gas pedal. :-) actually, that would probably make things worse.

Got mine (Blitz TC), haven't had time to put it in yet. To many other mods happening.

Where did you mount the brain box on your install?

I was under the empression that the yaris came with self learning technology. Anotherwards if your looking for mpg break it in that way. If your gonna run the crap out of it break it in that way. I broke my 06 scion xA for mpg and it couldnt get out of its own way. I have been running the crap out of my 08 yaris and it never lets me down. I have never had my yaris choke up on me. Is this possible or am i stuck in a time dialation bubble?

Hello. I just read your comments regarding the self-learning capabiloity oif the ECM for the 2008 Yaris. I own a new 5-speed 2-dr liftback. I had no idea bout these features and it seemed a lot faster when I first got it. Now it is doggy probably because I have not been driving it very hard for the first 4800 miles aI have put on it. My question is, it now too late for me to try to get more power from it if I start to drive it a lot hardner now and keep it up? This all is until I get my Blitz SC installed on it, which I just ordered. Please let me know. Thanks! rpalai

It is never to late to search for more power. I had mine for 5K before I got caught up in the mod scene. I spent alot of time here reading posts, sifting through responses on various items out there and then formed a plan to get where I wanted to go. Doing things in moderation as the budget could afford I started with NST pulleys. I wanted to do things to compliment each other and solve little personal owner problems. Wanted better handling, solved that. Wanted a little more power/feel, solved that. Wanted to improve the appearance of some of what I call shortfall areas on the Yaris, did that. All done in stages and again as the budget could afford. Now, can I beat a modified any other car? Me? No, except maybe at the pump. But I like it and really that's all that counts. Am I done spending, looking, reading and or seeking advice in regards to power? No.

Came back to add that the Blitz is not a power addition. To me it's a feel type thing in that it makes you feel that you have more.

[mikenacarato]

thats how i broke mine in. i plan on driving it hard so why wait to "break it in"?

klink- i mounted my main box under the steering wheel inside the dash. pull down the bigger cover under the wheel and from there run the wires to the pedal and then run the wires to your display, which i have inside my drivers glovebox.

[Klink10]

Mike.......thanks.

[mikenacarato]

NO PROB

[AznGouki]

Damn..I'd like a cheaper alternative though. 4 bills is too much. I'll try the nst pullies first.

[mikenacarato]

the pulleys did make a good difference. but when i added the controller afterwards...theres no comparison.

[ChinoCharles]

That controller probably improves track times quite a bit, eh?

[mikenacarato]

not sure. i would imagine if your track was twisty than coming out of turns would improve.

[ddongbap]

So I don't get it. Does this thing actually eliminate the delay? Or does it provide 90% of the throttle, during the first 10%, WITHOUT eliminating the delay?
