I would love to tune my jazz up a bit... But I love my warranty more!!!

How fast do you want to go? I remember that my Yaris did just over 180Kmph.. (long time to get there)...

If you change the exhaust you will gain a few HP's someone told me, why not try that first??? See if that gives you the boost yo want...

ha ha, I remember when I had my 2.0 Civic which was pretty fast and some guy must have done something to his Yaris coz he left me for dust on the way to Pattaya from Bangkok. I was not chuffed.

The old Vios model came from Toyota as a turbo model. 145 hp as I recall. Same engine you have in Yaris. Your problem will be the auto box.

Hi Snowflake, the engine repair is cheap here. But Idon`t want let some no name company doing it and have troubles after. It is not the speed, it is the acceleration by overtaking manouvers. I had before a Honda Integra...There is a big difference in overtaking. I don`t care the top speed, too dangerous on Thailands steets. Do you know a company who you can recommend,Pattaya or may be in BKK?

mate,

the yaris and jazz engines are rather weak, modifying the engine NA would cost alot and provided minimal hp gains,

exhaust, headers, intake and emanage piggyback would get you a gain of about 20hp-25hp maximum. the engine is built

with honda's and toyota's (vtec and vvti) system which makes the engine run at nearly 100% efficiency.

the tranmission is suited to handle stock and slightly increase power upgrades, more than the intake, piggyback etc would result in tranmission slip if you are running an auto. if you have a manual you have to concider changing to heavy duty clutch, we have them all available.

and a big repair bill.

if you want power, you can always go for a turbo kit upgrade, i can easily make this kit for you,

it would consist of,

turbocharger (td04L good for max 250hp)

turbo oil feed line,

intercooler

intercoolerpipes,

silicone hose and clamps,

turbo downpipe

turbo custom headers

blow off

piggyback ecu

custom intake pipe.

egt sensor

upsize exhaust and single muffler.

(you will further need the custom tuning on the dyno for the piggyback,

to make sure you dont run lean or rich, and to make sure your egts is in the safe zone).

the turbo even though it max at 250hp you wont be running 250hp, as the engine as naturally

a high compression ratio and being a small engine we would only run about 6psi of turbo boost,

which will offer you a 50+hp gain. ofcourse running a larger turbo with 6psi of boost will offer more power,

but you will have to concider turbo lag time.

what i recommend though,

is to swap the engine to a k20a dc5 intergra 220hp 6speed manual engine and transmission.

we will make the custom engine mounts etc and cutting of afew things, but in the end

you will have a absolute monster! in a jazz haha or yaris.

Sounds interesting.. How much would that cost? For the new engine, that is..

It would be nose heavy. The handling would suffer a lot. Try 200-300K for a transplant. Grant did it to his civic (a jazz/yaris would be harder and more costly). A turbo kit would run to 100K or so. I think HKS makes a kit. Not sure about engine longevity though.

For 10-15HP increase (maybe a bit more), a header, hi-flow cat, change the exhaust, and a drop in air filter might help, + ECU piggy back. That would not be cheap though, either.

Hello Philipm,

ok. I want ask you is it possible to put a turbo kit on for around 100`000 Bath, completly ? I come to BKK in October and would like to meet you and have a talk about that. Then we can do that in early December this year.

Thank for take you time.Cheers Rene.

[philipm]

gents firstly

yes the k20a will suffer from a heavy nose, then again with the power gain, heavy nose

add to the advantage of keeping your front wheel in good traction.

yes the it would be a very tight fit but is not really a problem to fit. the price is dependent,

to have 220hp std in the jazz would be hel_l fun, not to menation there are NA kits for the k20a

running 300hp easy, and ofcourse custom turbo kits to.

yea the k20a in a jazz would be up in mid 300k mark.

res69, if you want a turbo kit for B100,000 i recommend you going to any exhaust garage, they will do it for a cheap price

and lack of warrenty or performance enhancement, but you will get yourself a turbo kit for the jazz. i can not gurrantte the results though.

the engine management itself would cost between 25-30k, not to menation you need to pay ontop for the on the dyno tuning package paid directly

to the reponsible professional tuner.

if you want to discuss a quality package for turbo kit jazz which includes alot of custom made products, then you are more then welcome

to pm me for more details.

Hello Philipm,

I only know that they offer in some magazines Turbo - Kits for the Yaris ( not jazz ) around 50`000 Bath. So I know that`s probably nothing worth. But I guessed that may be a 100k would be enough...It doesn`t sounds like. So then, can you please bring me a little bit up to date how much would cost a professional tuning please ? Thanks.

Try to contact HKS Thailand

Ok, no more tuning idea for me!!! Thats too much to put into my Jazz...

I would rather buy a new car, I only want it to pass 200kmph... not good to drive much faster than that here!!!

[jcon]

I'm sick of these 'turbo kits' - engine compression needs to be accounted for, you just cant bolt on some turbo and expect it to be all good - ok fine these <deleted> are running only 4-6psi of boost which is a joke (I can fart 4psi) so I guess not much of a problem but why bother.... really... if you want a fast car, but a fast car - rice-ing up a yaris or a jazz is totally Lao.... may as well stick some neon lights on the bottom and blast look toong out of the stereo.... seeing a jazz with a 1.5 bar boost gauge that only can manage the needle to 4psi cracks me up.... LAOS!!!! Cheuy!!!! Salerrr!!!

[philipm]

Jcon,

most people dont have a huge budget to buy a brand new fast car, as

the only ones that are half fast that are new rate at 4million, for the 350 or rx8 subaru sti etc etc.

this is the hobby of modifications, you progress one step at a time, achieve one goal then setting another.

boosting 6psi on jazz will indeed make it much more aggresive car, think of the power to weight ratio.

lets say by adding the turbo kit you will gain 40-50hp that more than enough for a jazz to take over a bmw which innevitable

cost 3times as much minimum.

besides that knocking off modifications on not so powerful std cars, isnt exactly worthless. if you will own the car for 5-10years

hel_l atleast you can have fun with it and not be a boring one of thousands upon thousands of other cars on the road.

that being said, i dont recommend the neon lights or any space craft sorta design haha, as it does look tacky.

if you want a proper kit go for a body kit, and rims, and maybe a paint job. interior design as you like as you will be sitting in there!

What do you suggest if I want to turbo my 1,8 civic aut ?

Would that be possible with aut. transmission ?

I can't drive a manual due to a prostetic leg so only aut. will do.

What sort of money are we talking ?

Last - the petrol situation (E 20) and low octane did originally put me off this subject, but maybe you can cheer me up with some news I don't know about that ?

I'm currently looking at diesel (BMW, Mercedes) to get more torque - it's not topspeed I'm after.

Thanks
