Jenga's Project Yaris

[MHR1294]

Even at 170hp I bet that thing goes like a rocket, they don't weigh anything!

Less joins the better! My friend spent a whole day tightening up clamps on his evo...

That's a good service from Haltech, did they tell you what caused your first one to die though? Wish I could afford to get a Haltech - the usual I'm spending all my money on importing a car instead.

It's good that you're doing it over a long period of time, like you said, sorting all the minor issues out. there's nothing worse than modifying a car and then having it go bang.

you still around and working on this jenga?

[Jenga]

Yep, still around. The only changes since the last post are that the boost was wound up to 24psi, I installed a new set of injectors (850cc Siemens) so I have the option of going to E85 and it has a new set of RE003's. Traction is an issue, haha.

It's all just worked and continued to work, quite amazing for a project car. I want to have it retuned to run E85, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

You know, there's jokes about Marty and Moog building a Yaris and they say they will do it.

100% you should duel them with this!

I tried getting RE003 here in the UK but they're so soft they're banned for road use, so I have RE030 instead

This is excellent!

[Jenga]

Since upping the boost, I've had a few issues with popping hoses... It would happen about once a week. Yes, I know that pipe isn't rolled, so it's a miracle it's even held at 24psi.



I've been meaning to tidy up the intake piping for some extra stock looking-ness, so I spent a few hours and installed some new piping.





Looking good

[MHR1294]

Brilliant,

So the intercooler there, is that running it's own coolant circuit I assume? I guess that's fixed now that you've managed to up the boost?

I was excited when I saw this https://youtu.be/GViEvMdAQCo?t=190

14.22 at 102mph! that's epic man.

Was that your fastest time and whats your power figure looking like now?
