Importing a Vitz RS Engine?
#2
My guess on the WHY would be Federal Emissions... If it's not on the approved list and isn't made for the USDM, it probably doesn't even matter if they could pass the test or not most importers won't bother with it. They won't pass the inspection/approval. Is that car/engine available in Canada? You might need to take a run for the border...

Yeah, same engine but it comes with the TRD Turbo for the 1NZFE. The new Vitz RS don't have the Turbo option. One of the reason is that there never was a factory available turbo. The website below calls it "tuning plan."Also the new vitz uses Super CVT- or a 5-speed MT.

Dude, what don't you get?
There is no "Vitz RS Turbo Engine"
Sorry buddy, Gran Turismo 4 fooled you.
All it is, is a Vitz RS, with the 1.5 1ZNFE you already have, with an added TRD Turbo Kit. The kit is around $5,000 to boost 5 or 6 psi.
If the 1.3 motor you are talking about is the 4EFTE, then you should wait untill EL Prototypes releases their swap kit. No one so far is known to have swapped already.

Please....
it is not our call to decide what someone is to do with their car.
We, should only voice "our opinions".
Many great cars have been built by going against popular ideas.

That's very true.
My guess is, like most of us, we are grabbing at anything that may lead to
a decent power increase.
So far, I have not found the answer that I'm looking for as well...
Blitz - too much $$ for to little gain.
Turbo - damn cali smog laws.
engine swap - possibly, for the right combo and fit.
The Vitz/Yaris/Echo hatch, should be here in the states next year.
Overseas it has either the 1.0l. , 1.3l., or the 1.5l like ours.
I'm not sure, but I think the 1.3 can be had as all wheel drive and/or turbo.
But yeah, I would stick with the original 1.5.
