Toyota Vitz TRD Turbo M
While the European Toyota Yaris TS uses a 1.8 liter Dual VVT-i engine producing 130 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 173Nm of torque at 4,400rpm, its Japanese twin with a different name the Toyota Vitz has gone down the forced induction route with the Toyota Vitz TRD Turbo M. Sporting a similiar engine to the Toyota Vios Turbo sold in Thailand some time ago, the 1.5 liter DOHC VVT-i engine 1NZ-FE in the Toyota Vitz gets a bolt-on turbocharger with intercooler and now produces 150 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 195Nm of torque at 4,800rpm, far more powerful than the Yaris TS.
Nearly 200Nm of torque should prove pretty fun for a car that weighs only 1,060kg, but its a shame that peak torque kicks in at such a high RPM, something unseen of with modern turbocharged engines. We’re used to peak torque kicking in under 2,500rpm in small displacement engines these days, but then again we have to remember that unlike the BMW Price, Fiat T-JET or the Volkswagen TSI engine, this wasn’t designed to be a turbocharged engine to begin with, and is a bolt-on. So the numbers are pretty decent. The Vitz TRD Turbo M rides on a stiffer suspension that also lowers the car by 15mm.
When I was browsing through the Vitz’s microsite, I also found a more powerful normally aspirated variant of the 1NZ-FE that makes 119 PS at 6,000rpm and 147Nm of torque between 4,400rpm and 5,200rpm, compared to the 1NZ-FE in our Toyota Vios which makes the usual 109 PS and 142Nm of torque. We could possibly see this state of tune being made the standard 1NZ-FE tune in the future to counter Honda’s latest series of 1.5 liter engines found in the 2nd generation Fit which already produces 120 PS.
A few photos of the TRD components after the jump.

Maybe toyota does not want the car to be used in drag races, but speeding on the road at high speeds. LOL

At first glance, I nearly thought this is a Perodua-badged Yaris. Look at the badge. Color the badge red and green, and its a perodua. LOL!

I really love the Yaris… it’s so cute but yet cool enuff for the guys~
Wish they’d have the more powerful version here too, but I guess the market here doesn’t allow for good sales…

1.6 campro cps = 125hp
this toyota… 1.8 ONLY ONLY ONLY 130 hp? what the f?
March 6, 2008 @ 3:33 pm
campro cps is ps lah pls
not hp
and peak hp you won’t use it every day
but maximum torque u use it every day
so torque is much more real compare to hp
cps 1.6 150nm is kind of low
even g.livina do not have any vvt have higher torque then cps
March 6, 2008 @ 4:19 pm
Does this mean if you bolt on a turbine booster on Campro CPS, we can beat a world class engine?
March 6, 2008 @ 4:22 pm
The 1.5 Vios Turbo produces 150hp. Just maybe, what if 1.6 Campro CPS Turbo can pull 175 horsies…hmm…
March 6, 2008 @ 4:35 pm
Can the Campro CPS engine internal parts can the force of a turbo add no?? BTW, why P1 didnt make a turbo GTI?
March 6, 2008 @ 4:43 pm
is this coming? is this coming?
March 6, 2008 @ 5:10 pm
