I've been thinking about it. It'll always be a desire, but it wont become a reality (for the Black Yaris) for a long while (unless all the kinks get worn out). I don't want to be a guinea pig for a turbo setup on the Yaris. Would rather play around with suspension/wheels.
Plus I'm still leaning towards competing in STS (Solo 2 SCCA class) with the Yaris, it'll help me curb my desire to spend $$ unnecessarily. already got the Coils and the Wheels, just need to get a CG lock and seat time. I'm familiar enough with turbo motors that I like to keep tabs on it all, plus after riding in Tamago's VF39 power'd 1nzfe it is damn tempting, but SCCA classing on an armature level has allowed me to keep the spending down on the STI hopefully it'll do the same for the Yaris. :) as the saying goes, we shall see. that HKS kit looks promising, but honestly I'm not certain enough about EM to do it. |

If I could find a shop willing to figure it out and not murder me on the price within about 5 states I'd do it, but when they ask "what are you using" and I explain exactly whats going on they shy away. |

Maybe one of these days when we figure out EM (Engine Management) we'll play around with slapping a turbo on. I'd prefer to have a fully functioning EM setup in an N/A yaris before even attempting F/I but that's just me. |

Come on guys - you're supposed to be beating on Russel-the-Irate not on each other.

You guys just haven't come to understand the Florida boys yet. Telling Russel or Tamago they suck is like saying "Hey baby, want a massage? C'mere."

EM would be fine in a yaris. i mean, besides national competition, who are you gonna be up against? no one brings a car in under E mod..
i've beaten an NSX who was A mod...... accidentally ended up in his class... and still beat him.. so.... EM is a good place to be. don't do street tire. the point is to have fun, and who has fun on street tires, seriously?

Contrary to popular belief the asian fellows on this forum with turbo kits got the e-manage BLUE working NOT in limp mode and WITH a MAP sensor....AND WITHOUT a CEL. Don't say its JDM ECU, because I can almost bet that the internals are the same, just a different flash for their gas. The car has a 1nz-fe right, same sensors, same DBW, same Damn Denso ECU... .... ...... ........ yeah
Just find out what they did with the O2 Sensor, and clamping the MAF voltage so it reads off MAP and you'll be dandy as candy |
