What? auto? That's blasphemy!

Bro. Pomen leh! He got Forester turbo, I think auto Myvi for wife, and a spare rally spec car.....lolThought he's getting an auto transmission
Thought he mentioned 1jz vvti. Didn't know there were manuals for thoseWhat? auto? That's blasphemy!
Reminds me of that Citroen AX at Nurburgring.I guess thats the same Myvi that overtook my brother in a manual Neo CPS. That driver really knows the road as he position his car nicely for each corner.
Standing on the jack how many years already hahaha.
Myvi always the street legend...move aside r35...smdhMy 2 cents.
- Since this is a shared car between you and someone else, don't bother modding for power. Make the car handle better with a set of good aftermarket suspension, a lightweight set of rims, a good set of tyres, lightweight larger brake calipers and rotors, sound proofing and better headlights would make the car nicer to drive and possibly even easier to drive.
- Don't add a ton of UR bars too, understand what each bar does and only decide which bars you need and install those only. Adding everything will stiffen everything and that may not translate into a better drive.
- Exhaust mods at this point is pointless. If you do big mods with your engine then change exhaust to match, sure. Do nothing and just change exhaust - waste money. Stock is good enough la. 4-2-1 or 4-1 won't make financial sense, it's not like your car currently is slow. Vios' in general have great pickup and have great FC. They just don't handle well most of the time.
- Changing to a large TB will have some downsides. If you're unlucky you'll get "on/off" throttle. In my own experience with Myvis, the 2nd gen has a larger TB than the 1st gen and I have both. Swapped the two around and the response was sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly better on the 1st gen Myvi. Not significant. The 2nd gen one has larger valves and all - so if I swapped the head then I'd have better performance. But I wasn't going to do that on a pointless minor performance upgrade. The head gaskets cost more than the performance gained.
Like I said - the Vios is a great performing car. It's not gonna beat any land speed records or outrun a R35, but it's not a slouch and drives pretty well. With a good set of suspension, brakes and rims+tyres, you'd have a pretty nice car to drive around in. Learn to drive the car fast bro without the performance mods. I know a guy who drives his Myvi 1.5 STOCK (except for 15" rims + good tyres) faster than a lot of people going up Genting. In fact he's so fast people driving way more powerful cars have claimed he has a modded car until they see his tiny little exhaust pipe and stock engine bay.
Hi guys, new member here, as a rookie to modification world, wanna ask is that any way to upgrade your car performance without turbo or supercharger modifications?
(cuz the maintaince and cost too much lol)
Besides, one of my friend recommd me to change the 1.8 throttle body, but there are others of my friend say it is not worth, any idea?
Last but not least, my car is 1st generation vios 06 year model (ncp42)
true. same as motorcycles.Hi, for a 1.5 NA to gain power is a difficult task and expensive, time consuming if you DIY like I do. If you just bolt on parts it's not going to work, For NA engines to see improvement is to make it more efficient and improvement on air flow in and out. Most you hear why people who bolt on bigger throttle body say it's not worth it because they are doing it wrong. The TB is just part of the intake system, if you want to upgrade you need to upgrade and improve the entire system, from the air filter box to to the intake manifold to the intake cylinder head, same goes for the exhaust side. When you've improved the air flow in and out, you need to look at ignition and fueling system and AF ratio across the rev range. modding NA is complicated and a lot of head cracking time, sleepless nights and lots of disappointment.
Suspension mods chassis mods and all other, I will not talk much, it depends on what you want the car to be and for what purpose. if modding without a target or purpose it's pointless.
I have a 1.3L NA saga FLX only..less CC than you...hahahaha
Hi Liang95,
Honestly speaking, Vios by stock itself is quite lively, it can keep up to some bigger CC car due to its light weight body. It was never made for highway speed monster. Like most ZTH citizens here recommended, try to make the car handles better and more stable than stock. What you can do:
Handling Part
1.) Stickier tyres
2.) Lighter rims, more responsive steering wheel, however you might feel lightness in your steering wheel on highway speed
3.) Uprated struts and springs, if not, BC Racing V1 or BR Type if you have budget
4.) Install necessary chassis bars, research this properly, you don't want to waste money on those bars you do not need, car needs certain roll to be able to change direction
5.) Chassis foam, for better sound proofing and sturdier chassis. Ever wonder why Euro cars are so solid and quiet ? Sturdier chassis and undercarriage is one of those keys. It also adds comfort to reduce NVH. You feel you can drive the car for as long as it could.
6.) Harder engine mount, reduce engine flex and get the car going off the line faster. May cause discomfort as you feel more engine vibrations
7.) Better brakes ! Seriously a lot of people thought the factory brakes system is enough, it is NOT ! At least uprate the disc rotor, brake pad, brake hose and DOT4 brake fluid.
Engine Part
8.) Uprated intake system, only helps the car to breath easier but won't gives you 10+ hp like some ads claimed. Especially on a 1.5L N/A engine
9.) Free flowing exhaust, this one depends, but for me, just decat one of it will do. You won't want noisy exhaust in your DD.
10.) E-throttle controller, this can dramatically change the pedal responsiveness but will not add HP
11.) Better spark plugs and ignition system, most likely the most obvious power gains for any N/A cars, if you have access to TM Works ignition package, this will be the most obvious power gains you ever invested, however, ITS NOT AFFORDABLE !
12.) Larger TB with larger intake pipe. Adds throttle responsiveness and gain power at mid to high RPM. Not usable if you don't rev the crap out of the engine to get its full benefits.
13.) Aftermarket VVTI Valve, enable VVTI opening at lower RPM (Not VTEC like but under normal driving you feel the engine is lighter)
14.) ECU remap, another obvious power gains but need to find someone that really knows how to tune.

What i suggest, the handling part for now is the best thing you can do, as one once said, power is useless without control. It's 1.5L N/A engine
.
5. Agreed. But not any old foam. There's two major players in the market that actually work. All others are a complete waste of money and time. I've tried 3 different types of foam brands and I can safely say the cheapest ones that claim the world are pointless.
6. Don't do nylon or full rubber mounts. A compliant PU mount from superpro would be way better than solid mounts. Less harsh.
