disappointed in the aftermarket

^ Stock Yaris makes 90-95 whp. Dyno tuning costs $300-$750.

my post was to keep the numbers real, since I know what they are. And to answer your questions about (1) the stock trans (2) N/A power, and (3) what a basic turbo kit makes on the car.

^^ yea.. I think he bought the car on impulse and think he bit off more then he can chew.. also thinking his mind set is still set in the big displacement motors and trying to convert that knowledge to the little 1.5L.. its like going from soccer to american football.. different ball game..

ALSO, id like to point out.. even the new mustang 5.0 has an axleback muffler that u purchase separately from the mid piping.. not only that, but the CATs are welded into the midpipe as well. and a few other newer domestics now i think about it... so the concept is the same for most newer vehicles..

All good info to know, especially from someone who has personally done it. You have no idea how valuable that kind of first hand info is. Thanks.

I must say that I'm surprised the stock tranny can take that much more power.

This is all good news to me, knowing that I can't break it in my daily commute. I guess this is collaborated by the number of high mileage vehicles out there.

Cali_Yaris, just out of curiosity, with a turbo or supercharger kit... does the Yaris require a different intake? From my experience on the WRX and EVO, the cars throw a fit on the dyno with any intake mods (including the K&N drop in).

+1

does the Yaris require a different intake?

if you mean intake manifold? The supercharger comes with its own (since it's on the cold side). Turbo kits make use of the stock manifold, but provide their own intake tube and filter.

Id be more willing to bet he came from a chevy 350, lt1 or a ford 5.0. When cars weren't engineered all that well and replacing stock parts with aftermarket really did help things.

Its not that its a different ball game because its really not, toyota spent a lot of money to make sure this motor is going to be all it can be and still pass emission and cafe standards. Sure you can gain the odd 10 horsepower or so but in stock form the hardware is extremely efficient.

I have learned something over the years though, if I have no idea what I'm looking or what it does its probably not a good idea to remove or modify it.

^^good points^^ and my analogy is probably not the best in the world but that is what i was trying to say. ill keep my literature to myself cuz it sounded better in my head then on paper *shrugs*

[xnamerxx]

I didnt mean to sound critical just sort of explaining it a little better. His comments on the intake screamed guy who came from a car built before '88.

if your paying much less then that for something "custom" your getting garbage, 14g crush-bent junk thats going to rot out in 1-3 years, that also weighs more then stock 409ss tubing, plus crush-bends are horrible if you are actually looking to get performance gains on the + side over stock.

leave the crush bent junk for a stock replacement exhaust on your grandma's '94 accord

^ do you have access to a Yaris? it's not a trick question, I have an idea, given your shop URL.

[bladesmith6]

With all due respect dude, it's a short car with a single exhaust all you have to do is shop around a bit. Granted stainless will cost me a bit more that the dual exhaust plain steel setups I used to get but not that much.

I contacted Weapon R regarding potential of an intake manifold based on the vesrsion for the Scion. They said not at this time BUT maybe in the near future. Sounded to me like they are working on one and are hesitant to make it known. I think the Yaris community needs to contact Weapon R and petition them for one.
