J-tuner T Sport Info

[Crisis]

Hello all.

Long time no post but I found something interesting for you all to hear within J-Tuners latest magazine.

Someone wrote in a letter looking for a modern day jap hatch thats fast... he didn't want the Clio so the best thing he came up with was a Yaris TS.

He asked the question "Potential"

Heres the knowledge:

Turbo the Yaris - TRD do a Turbo Kit, even thou Im sure your all familiar with the ECU problems a stand alone ECU would fix this problem and probably produce 160BHP.

Engine Conversion - Im sure I remember topics from years ago and it was deemed another engine wouldn't fit. However its said that a Celica 190 (1.8) engine would fit as would the Celica GT-4 2ltr Turbo engine as found in Fensports Rolla. Which would be 250BHP and pehrpas upto 700BHP tuned up.

Thought that may just interest some of you.

Certainly has tempted me back.

yeah, fensport did say they could squeeze the 3S-GTE in the Mk1 Yaris, but you'd be looking at £10k+ for that conversion...

and thats before you start tuning the engine itself...

[Crisis]

What I dont get is that they will put that engine into the Corolla with parts for £2.5k plus VAT.

[Fidgits]

but thats because they have already done it (plus its much easier), the £10k has to cover NRE costs, since its never been done before...

Yaris + more than 140bhp = spin galore IMO

[Crisis]

Indeed! The average life span of a Yaris driver would drop ALOT.

Spin wheels or the actual car? If you're on about spinning wheels, traction control and LSD should sort that out!

the 3SGTE wont go in, in a month of sundays

ive measured it up from the mr2 and just due to the way the 3S sits, youll need to add around 8 inches to the length of the front of the car!

or rebuild the bulkhead and shift everything backwards

best bet would be mid mount it in the back

best bet would be mid mount it in the back

Wouldnt that give even more traction problems??

nah, rwd :D

[jaxx]

rear drive and perfectly balanced, nah

would be easier a task to, only need to make a rear space frame and Shell with the yaris bodywork
