I pray every night. lol. i am hoping some companies answer soon..

but when the whole import scene as a majority switches to micro compacts, you'll have the early body... sort of having a clean eg with a motor swap. this car is going to be a classic.

plus, if you wait for the demand to grow, they'll have engine swap kits with ecu, cluster, mounts, axles, shift linkage, and everything else you need all in one kit and with a low price! but i still agree with you, i want it now too!

ya but who fixes up echos? lol

people started fixing up civics more in the early 90's so they have at least 10 years on this motor buddy.

true story

besides, i wouldnt wanna kill my powertrain warranty immediately....

lostmind · 08-09-2007, 11:28 AM

true for most people.

Personally, I'd spend $5k on it. but I'm Canadian... this car wasn't so cheap.

thebarber · 08-09-2007, 11:32 AM

ya, i feel like if i were out of warrany and already had intake, exhaust and a header, id drop 3500-4500usd on a blower....

eTiMaGo · 08-09-2007, 12:51 PM

yeah, it's the curse of the new car, there's nothing wrong with it, everything's still under warranty, most people won't wanna mess with that... MOST people...

Reality... We don't NEED a Turbo that can put out 20PSI... Our engines can not take more then 7PSI... With anything less then 10PSI you don't even need an Intercooler!

So if someone came out with a Turbo Kit that only made 5-6PSI... No Intercooler, No Frills Turbo kit... threw a $1,500-$2,000 price tag on it... I guarantee they wouldn't be able to keep the kits on the Shelves

After all… THE YARIS IS THE 2ND CHEAPEST NEW CAR IN AMERICA…

sdmf · 08-09-2007, 03:12 PM

i would rock it, but i wonder how long its going to take to get into production, its not like rotrex is nst. people didnt really buy the zpi turbo kit cuz of the companys reputation, but i think more people would buy the rotrex if it doesnt have fitament issues and just bolts right up with little or no modification at all

+1 - I wouldnt mind a non intercooled kit for 1500 bucks - you could always add something later on if you wanted too - like some of the greddy kits come based as non intercooled and you can upgrade later if you want...

cali yaris · 08-09-2007, 04:27 PM

That's called a Stage 0 -- an excellent idea for our cars.

punch · 08-09-2007, 07:00 PM

guys, I/we want this tuff... make it....

in a couple years these cars will be cheap, and the tuner crowd can then buy them, and add on $3000 s/c... heck people buy shit box used hondas, and spend thousands on engine upgrades....

mandriu · 08-09-2007, 07:13 PM

I seriously considered zpi turbo, but after all the problems i had with trying to get either my exhaust or my money back i would strongly discourage business with them

Thotprawsis · 08-09-2007, 07:33 PM

I tought zpi was gone?
