higer torque for quicker acceleration, horse power is for cruising...it's a common mistake that many based on HP for faster acceleration....

remove anything possible... every single kg in your car can make differents... from spare tyre, car jack, tools, carpet, lesser fuel (maintain lesser than 1/4 tank), water in wiper resevoir and garbage like old new paper, magazines, shoes, slippers, shirts & etc... most car can reduce 50kg to 100kg by simple spring cleaning.

Agreed on the weight reduction part. Just go on diet.

1) lighter driver = lighter car

2) saves you money to buy a better car

Drive a sonata.

Exactly! Sonata is comfortable and good at cruising, acceleration super, absorbs bumps extremely well too!

Took one sonata cab yesterday, was observant about the engine, it was super powerful, wonder if really got turbo in the engine or not. [:p]

Hello fellow Yaris owner, as with all other NA cars there's quite a lot to do to gain a little bit of extra torque and horsepower. But the plus side is that an NA engine is less complicated than a turbocharged engine. So here we go:

 

- drop all excess weight. Some will even dump the spare tire but take note that it alters the weight distribution slightly and may make a difference on the traction limits.

- lightweight rims, SSR or Volk Racings. Stay on 15 inches and you'll see your fuel economy improve as well.

- Based on Fujitsubo's website, using their Wagolis exhaust nets you a bit of horsepower and torque gain. Its the only legal exhaust for the Yaris in Singapore

- You might be tempted to try an open pod, but it improves your top end power at the expense of low range RPM tractability

- Use your entire RPM range, I regularly visit 7,000rpm when marging in expressway traffic.

- It depends on whether you're on a stick or on a slushbox. If you're on a stick, changing to a racing clutch helps with power transmission going between gears, changing to a lighter flywheel and also a quick shifter all will help to shave a few milliseconds that will add up.

Bro, those are not the road models we have in Singapore. Those are diesel models with turbo...

Hi bro,

 

I am new to car performance. Just curious to know what modificication is required that can increase accelerataion but stay LTA friendly as well.

 

I have heard many car with very loud engine noise (voom voom), does those meant for more power for the car? Legal?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

$$$$$$$$$$$ lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$...end of the day is still $$$$$$$$$$. You can make your car fly if you willing to spend!!! :D

So tell us how much you willing to spend?

in trend now is under 1600cc tagged with turbo, low road tax & CAT A COE. Many models nowadays...think they will satisfy your thirst for sprinting....in short, change car.

Dont expect to compare with diesel. Turb sonata.

 

Air- fuel-ignition

 

Exhaust and high flow filters can affect performances

 

If I were. U get a better car.

If that's. Not possible learn to sonata as a graceful sonata,and that will be less stressful.

If it's a Yaris, then stay the way a Yaris should be. Getting from point A to B behavior, why do you want to waste all that money??
