    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!

    Supercharger from Blitz puts down around 140WHP I believe and the (not yet released) turbo from ZPI Racing is around 180WHP according to their dyno. 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.

    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.

    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.
