AEM INTAKE ***UPDATE***
Hey everybody,
I just wanted to update everyone about the AEM Intake, after a ton of phone calls, and a lot of running around, I have it on good authority that an AEM intake is being developed and will be released sometime in July through Toyota Canada. So anyone who's desperately waiting for one like me, will take relief in knowing that at least one is on the way. In the meantime, I guess that frees up some $$'s for other potential mod's!! Hooray.. |

I'm pretty sure INJEN, K&N, FUJITA are developing one as well. Good to know though.

your better off building your own cold air intake. Sure AEM, Injen etc spend a lot of time in development and testing but I never understood how anyone can justify spending the better part of 400 bucks to get like 5 hp if your lucky? A simple switch to K&N or equivalent filters and removing the lower leg of the stock airbox can net almost the same hp for 60 bucks (CAN).
Buy a header and manifold for the same price, youll be better off. Or get a shop to build an equivalent piece. |

I'll do it through them because I get decent pricing because I use to work for Toyota. Other than that, I also don't have to worry about a single thing because it was all done by the dealer. If I ever have a problem I have someone to take the blame, and make it all better. As far as I'm concerned I'll pay for all modifications through the dealer only because I don't want a debate when it comes down to who messed up.
Yes I know intakes are simple to make, and easy to install, but I don't want the potential worry and/or hassle. |

I just got my 4dr RS with the borls performance exhaust.....sounds really nice not to ricey, like those stupid cherry bombs....actualy sounds like there could be a V6 under the hood lol.....but I want more hp. Going to ask Toyota to see what they can order for me ie. TRD headers and intake, perhaps turbo too, then we're talking. Ant the lowering springs are worth it sits real bad ass and turns nicer.

The headers are about $1000 CAD,.. but I'm not sure if it's offered by Toyota dealerships directly... The intake should be out by July.. as per my source at customization. If you're looking to spend some bucks.. put in the blitz blower.. it's pretty straight forward, and there are a lot of safe installs. Apparently the reason why no turbo is offered from Toyota is because they kept blowing motors on their prototypes.. the engine just isn't built for turbo...

Not from factory it isn't. But like any other engine, with enough money it can be.

Blitz and Greddy both make direct bolt on turbo kits for the Scion xB and both run around 3 grand the Blitz kit is 4 grand. From what I understand the engine will not hold up charged, besides some basic work would have to be done first to lower the compression, whether a compression reducing gasket will work for this im not sure.
There are also a few manufacturers who produce headers which will most likely bolt on to a Yaris. OBX, Megan etc. again, these are parts for the scion but Im pretty sure everything bolts up the same, you can get the headers for a couple hundred bucks. I understand the whole warranty issue for purchasing and installing new parts theres going to be a point when either Toyota is going to cause a lot of hassle or its going to be too much of a hassle to work with Toyota. Short of blowing an engine or cutting up parts there isnt much irrepairable damage you can cause, just keep tabs. |
