We aren't planning on making them available. We can build custom kits on a per job basis.

Could you at least give us diameters of the piping,etc used?

The article was written by a retard. Some of the info isn't correct. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...238835#4238835

Stock motor... for now

Is this the same xD from the custom gauge pod article on pasmag? I really like the steering wheel you guys used, and those seats are pure awesomeness.

I was about to say at that motor size. Is that thing a dyno queen or can it actually run well on the track?

Its not because a magazine is involved Jim... Its because it looks different, is clean, and hey look! the hood is OPEN! Still though, I call BS on this guys... WAY too much information is incorrect for this to be believable... Aside from that, honestly, 300+ HP? Even if it was the 2ZR-FE I highly doubt that, without a full engine build, it would push the numbers they say it is. Even if they really are putting out these numbers, why hasn't a video surfaced of it? Why can't they post a dyno with the rest of their pretty pictures? Looks like this car is nothing more than a fake, put together to look pretty and not fuction... And if it functions, there's no proof...

Wow,

Being the one who build the very functional turbo system, I wish I knew as much as you guys do about building turbo systems.

Guess we kinda picked the wrong market!


Here's some other non-function stuff we do. Got any suggestions for us?

750 horsepower Cosworth twin turbo G


Smax/FSR fuel system


Non function but accidentally really fast SMAX FMIC

That XD isn't perfect, and we didn't have anything to do with the body/interior/audio etc... But the engine is our work, and it is good work. If you have a question, ask. If you are just going to talk crap, talk away. Everyone is tough on the internet, anyway.

A supercharged engine is a blown engine! At least, a blower motor!

Ian, pictures are fine and all man, but for someone who brags about building great turbo systems why can't we see a video of it? Or even a dyno graph?

All I'm doing is callin your bluff Ian. You've got pictures, but no dyno, no video of it working, and posted inaccurate information on your website.

If you've got it man show it! We would all like to see it! Especially since just about everyone that stays active on the xD forum is REALLY looking for a good turbo set-up.

BTW, its not talking crap... We're all skeptics on this forum. Especially after being bailed on SEVERAL times on projects we were told were going to happen.

Calling my bluff, huh?

I'd like to see the "bluff". What inaccurate information are you talking about? We don't even have the scion on our website.

I don't brag about building "great turbo systems." I simply said we do functional work in response to a bunch of nonsense from people who have no idea about the project saying things were on there "for looks."

As far as other companies bailing, well, sorry about that. I guess we "bailed" too. Like I said, if other companies capable of building stuff for you guys like mine are received in the same way, I'm not surprised.

If I had a dyno graph or a video of it, I'd put it up, but I don't, so I won't. If they give me the car back after the show stuff and I have time to tune it and race it, we will. But it won't be for posting up on the internet or trying to sell parts to scions. It will be because we love to race, and that is our passion.

I had a great time doing that project, and PAS and SMAX are class acts to work with. No regrets here, but the scion market just isn't for us!

geez, here we go again...all I wanted was to have some info. I bet 3bills of HP is possible. to get 200hp from a slightly built sigle cam Honda motor with a small turbo and good tuning, I can see at least that to 250 easily. but something around 2oohp would be ideal for my tastes. I would rather have a not so peaky car. Handling is still my first priorty over 300 hp.

Well I'm no expert on the xd platform but if you have any tech questions I'd love to help. I think I even have compressor map over lays and laser cut intake and exhaust manifold flange patterns.

Just give me a call at the shop.

people record videos of their cats eating kitty treats... and yet you guys claimed to have built this motor from the ground up, but didnt take a single video? why did you start a thread about the car and now deny us any further video and info about it? and if you did all the engine work yourself, surely youve got some specs on the custom upgraded internals and complete drivetrain that can sustain the 330whp, right? it just really smells a lot like backpeddling in here, and i dont mean to be an 'internet tough guy'... just asking questions.

Thanks Chang, I knew I wasn't the only one on here seeing it like this.

And Jim, I know you're only looking for information. What I'm trying to get at is the RIGHT and ACCURATE information. The guy has NOTHING except for a link to another site and can't even make sure that the info they give is accurate.

And like pickledchang said, there's no more information being given. Just pictures of another car.
