Toyota Vios NA Stage 2 with Emanage Blue

Toyota Vios VVT-i Engine


After tuning turbo charged vehicles for some time, seeing a NA Toyota Vios coming in for tuning after completing his stage 1 setup is something refreshing. Initial test drives shows the car is running rough at 4k till redline and overall response is lousy. Simply, no response. You step sharply on the accelerator and it takes like half a second or so for the car to wake up and respond. You can't rev freely from idle, so, how to signal the arsehole beside you without him laughing away man... hahaha You step on throttle, the car shakes a little then vroom... ai yoh...

Simple mods like HKS SPF open pod filter, denso iridium spraky, custom 304 stainless steel intake piping, decat, and special type straight through muffler + emanage blue tuning.


Results? Better throttle response, you step and it goes type... hahaha... you can vroom vrroom the taxi beside you... high end is butter smooth.


Sam test drove it and smile, owner test drove it and came back looking a little shaken... hmm... maybe not used to the increase bhp ?? Ask him hows the car, the nod his head and say good... good... hmm...


basically Vios comes stock with vvti technology which can be tied with some modification which bring the best out of the vvti response and fuel economy settings. Overall this is a good setup which probably increases 10~20% bhp on stock. + a few tricks on how to race with vvti, you'll be statisfied.


At least for now ... see when he go for turbo ...
