Beefing Up my Yaris - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

RacerFreakXXX · 05-24-2010, 10:35 PM

yea I was thinking about not getting the pan too, it'll knock off $100. I only want to use a GT25. It's a daily driver and having 120whp would be amazing at this point, I can't imagine 140-150whp. I trust Garrett more though, so that will be my route if I get the Zage.

How much is the zage kit with everything?

I noticed that many "kits" of the yaris include a different oil pan which looks about the same size (no increase in oil capacity) although I am not sure its the same material as stock

Just curious about it ...

The kit costs about $1,800 shipped... but i'd rather spend $900 on a turbo $900 on a kit w/o turbo and pan and buy the res and still be under $3k. The only oil pan that looks decent is the Greddy and it's probably not worth the money.

thank god for product research

why not jack the rear of the car up?

logic > product research

This seems like a pretty decent option... Although fuel management still needs to be addressed unfortunately.

Has anyone on YW purchased the entire kit yet and got it working? And if so, was there any fitment issues with piping/etc? (besides the crummy oil pan that is)

BTW, if you go zage with a GT2554 and it works well, I'm totally going to copy you

RacerFreakXXX · 05-30-2010, 07:36 PM

I've read through a lot of material and actually found that that does work... however I would just weld a bung onto the stock oil pan and then for EMS, you are basically on your own. Greddy seems to be the best, from what I can see for EMS. Your other options are a stand alone EMS. With that you would have to completely remap and fine tune everything. I don't know If I'm even considering turbo with the FT-86 around the corner. It seems to have too much press to be put back any longer and by the time it comes out I will be turbo. Turbo or putting the money towards a 2nd car, the second car option seems to really make more sense. As much as I would like more power, it's a big decision, even If I am only looking at 3k with a tune.

If you're in need of a second car then I couldn't agree more with dropping the turbo idea and grabbing an FT-86 instead

Not to go off topic but: I could have sworn you were building your own kit? Either way, I'm really eager to see you get this kit on ...

What piggyback are you using?

RacerFreakXXX · 06-02-2010, 07:55 PM

found a decent deal on a turbo manifold for our car for only $250:

Still considering Zage Kit because of the down pipe and piping.

cali yaris · 06-02-2010, 09:36 PM

That's a dollar more than I charge, and I include shipping.

RacerFreakXXX · 06-03-2010, 08:01 AM

Price drop? last time I looked it was about $440 for your manifold.

I´ve never seen such a poorly engineered manifold before. I mean serious ... exhaust gas from 1 and 4 collides, 2 and 3 are blowing against a "wall". The guy who made this thing only took care of the space he needs to mount the turbo and nothing more.

cali yaris · 06-03-2010, 10:47 AM

You've never seen a log manifold before?

the one shown is pretty much the same as I have, the system seems to be just fine with it. My tC also uses this design.

an equal-length design would be great, but I'm blowing 24 psi at this design and it works.

Kongo-Otto · 06-03-2010, 12:25 PM

I don't doubt it works but i think it is far from optimal when it comes to exhaust gas flow. So in my opinion space is the only reason for this kind of manifold. Maybe i am wrong.

RacerFreakXXX · 06-03-2010, 07:15 PM

o0o, I just noticed the price drop (I have limited internet at work, lol)... are planning to make your kit with piping Garm?
