Swapping engine in my Yaris

[hydroshutter]

Anyone done this? Jason(Tracer) and myself will be doing the work. I was thinking a mad tyte 2jz Swap!!! Or maybe an El Es JUAN!!!!111!ONE!!

What do you guys think?

[Tracer]

Heck yeah, cant wait to start on this project.

[phd1ck]

yea i was thinking about that today. for all the yaris owners, how do they drive? and do they have potential for boost? i was looking into gettin the hatch.

[hydroshutter]

They're actually a pretty good bang for the buck. They have the Toyota reliability aspect backing them up, so it's a win/win!

[Tracer]

I agree. :cheers:

Wait...so we have more Yaris owners on here now? I thought I was the only one on IA. :???:

We got a kit being installed on a Sedan over at Yarisworld.com and we should have a new dyno chart within a few weeks. The aftermarket has caught on well enough. Intakes, suspension, headers, exhausts, pulleys, ect...

Also, as far as swaps go, there is one guy at Yarisworld that put a V6 Tacoma engine in the back of his Yaris then structured a cage around it. 200+WHP RWD Yaris Hatch. :eek:

x2 i never thought i would see the day. what's next a chevy aveo?? lol

The Yaris is essentially the modern day CRX. Sure, I realize that it'll never be really fast. I can still make it a lot of fun though. With the revamped suspension and bolt-ons I've managed to put on my little liftback, it's become even more fun to drive. :yes:

pics please :eek:

[Ran]

pics please :eek:There have been other pics posted, but these are the only ones I can find at the moment. There from when the car was still being built. I was also mistaken on my information. They swapped in a 2.7L 4-Cylinder engine from a Tacoma and cranked it up to 200HP. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, it's still RWD and still beefy. :cheers:
