Yaris 190 Bhp

[steve eames]

hi fans just to let you know that there is a engineering company in surry that did work for toyota and put an engine from a celica into a t sport have a look www.activatech.co.uk

have to wonder how it would handle... i'm assuming it's a much heavier engine than the standard 1.0 > 1.5

would u need to stiffen the suspension right up and add strut brace to make it handle?

would be very quick though, it's probably a good indication of what the new MR2 SHOULD be!

god knows why they didn't put the 1.8 190 in that mr2

Wow! :o

Are you affilated to the company at all? Would love to run a feature on that, who own's it Toyota GB?

Nice Lex also. B)

Bl**dy hell!!! :o

I really cant see the Yaris handling that amount of power.......... I could be wrong but I think the wheels would just spin. Then again, the engine is going to be heavier, thus giving extra weight over the front wheels........ I suppose its also down to clutch control aswell - (i'll just shut up eh!)

I'd love to see that go!!

been on here before but still a mint conversion!

[dawesy]

true but havent seen it featured in any mags which begs the question- is it a fully working conversion?

putting the power down wouldnt be too much of a problem i'm putting 350bhp down in the rolla its all a matter of driving properly, not just full throttle in all gears you need to feed the power in.

wouldnt mind seeing it in the flesh though

I thought it was shipped off to Toyota Belgium.

Red paseo? Did I see you yesterday going over the A14 towards Huntingdon?

[knowlson]

I would buy a yaris if it had that engine in it!!!

That company is not far from me wonder if I will see that driving about

[Nick-Johnson]

Its a mad enough engine in the Corolla and Celica T-Sport let alone in a Yaris!

I would kill for ago, bye bye Cooper S :D

t-sport should have had it from the start!

[knightrider]

i mite phone 2 find out pricecuz i bet ur all wondering

[tiktok]

<_< hasn't this been said before???

pics of said yaris please. pics of work done, during and after would be good. i do remember that any info regarding this being done before lead to a dead end.

IF it can be done, then fantastic, but err the cost involved, it would be cheaper to slap a s/c on it, and at least you still keep you fairly new engine.

i've seen this conversion done already, jerry sent me photos of a yaris with a 1.8 190 about 8 months ago so it's not a new idea...

quote from them

The engine bay in the case of the Yaris required slight modification to install the 180-horse power 1.8 Litre Toyota Celica engine giving the mini sized car remarkable performance.

i seem to remembe that absoutely no data couldbe gotten from this company about this conversion, so people kinda though it to be hype.???

[jaxx]

emailed them three times a bit back, no reply

[tiktok]

maybe we should all email them. once a day for 2 weeks.

[Sim]

I emailed them a long time ago and said one off and wouldn't give a price. I spos if offered enough money they would do it.

[SuperRetard]
