anyone with Blitz supercharger? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Quite correct, a supercharged vehicle will benefit from more low end torque.

I can't help but say this..

SUPERCHARGE ME

bigsky2 · 03-01-2007, 03:40 PM

I think the biggest issue I have is finding an appropriate installer to install the supercharger.

I'm all for DIY projects, but something of this nature makes me want to leave it to professionals.

How difficult is it for a capable mechanic to install a SC kit such as this for the Yaris?

If you ask me...my .02$ This is a bolt on kit. There is nothing that should be extra nor removed. Its meant to be thrown on and work. That said, I see this being a fairly easy job for any competent mechanic. My advise would be to find a mechanic friend who wouldnt mind helping and supervising one weekend so you will have the professional knowledge needed yet still learn while your at.

Well then, I guess I'll just have to wait until I get enough money for any and all future mods. Thanks for all the help and info.

Interesting...

I'm going to stay the heck away from this one. I can see the lines of people coming into the Toyota dealership crying because their vehicle is broken...and Toyota saying, "too bad, so sad". Best of luck to everyone who tries this though. Believe me, I'm a fan of boost, just not of the aftermath on an improperly installed power-adder. You know it'll happen!

Buyer beware. You'll pay to play in more ways than one.

I just can't justify the minor gains of the supercharger. You're not even going to have a 14 second car. For the same cost as a used SRT-4.

If Blitz can do it without a bad after-effect, so can we (me and anyone else who going to install S/C later)

Hi! YES, I have installed the Blitz Supercharger on my late 2008 Yaris 2-dr liftback S-model 5-speed. LOVE IT!! Makes car fast and a lot of fun to drive. Instant response! You do lose about 5 mpg, however. But oh well, that's the price we all have to pay for having fun! It is worth it! I ALSO PUT ON THE 2009 S-model body kit as well. Change the entire looks of the car. OIt is hot looking now! Go to www.cardomain.com and type in
rpalais in the search bar and it swill take you to my garage page where you can see many of my other cars including the Yaris. Click on each car pic to see more pics.

If you ave any other questions, pls feel free to email me at rpalais@tampabay.rr.com I prefer this way rather than forum messaging.

Thanks! Rich Palais

Rich,

This is the first I've seen of your Yaris. I love the look! Not much to say about the supercharger other than I'm glad you're still liking it.

i believe one of the fixes for detonation is using fuel injectors from a 1zzfe engine. theyre relatively easy to come by used on places like newcelica.org. i think the problem is that there isnt enough fuel being sprayed by the 1nzfe injectors so you get detonation at wide open throttle (WOT)

OK. Sounds good and I certainly am willing to try it. I have since solved a good deal of the detonation issue, but still on rare occasion, I do still have a drop of it. I wonder, does the Yaris motor have a knock sensor that pulls out timing upon sensing detonation? Anyone know about this?

Please tell me how adversely the larger injectors that you suggest will negatively reduce fuel economy? Just wondering. I would expect some, but I'd still like to know more about this.

Thanks!

Yes, I most definitely DO have a Blitz Supercharger in my 2008 Yaris. Did it when I first bought the new car back in very late 2008. It is a fully optioned and loaded 2-Dr Lifback in Red. I LOVE IT!!! The Blitz SC is definitely a nice perfomance upgrade that wakes up the little 1.5 4-banger. Also have the
5-speed. LOVE IT LOVE IT!! NO weenie-matics here. No way! Never! I own 10 cars. All of them are sticks (5 of them are SC'd or Turbo) except for my 2003 Montana Van and my fully-built 1979 Pontiac LeMans Safari Wagon set up as a GTO w/a GTO 400 cid and Holley digital 4Di EFI and a 700 R4 with B&M lock-up kit. Car is a stump puller and a screamer. Almost converted to a stick, but the 700 R4 is nice w/ the higher stall converter and shift kit. Custom headers as well. Really nice car, but a gas guzzler no doubt.

Also put in the Megan header at the advice of Garm of Cali Yaris. I also purchased the Blitz SC from him as well. I highly reccommend Garm. He is a great guy and is very honest and good to do business with. Also added a boat-load of suspension and handling upgrades. So now, the Yaris also really handles nice around turns. No leaning, etc. I can be more specific if you are interested. NGo to www.cardomain.com and type in rpalais in the search bar upper right of page and it will take you right to my garage page as it is called. Enjoy! rpalai

rpalai, good to see you man! The Yaris does have a knock sensor.

I'm not sure about the fuel economy with the larger injectors, but it stands to reason that it would be affected to some extent.
