is this the same xD that everyone bagged on in a post I made about a xD wit the very same Smax interfooler and AIT bodykit? now the car is cool to everyone huh? funny how that works since a magazine is involved. all I wanted was a little info about it. not the obvious how badly it was built. car does look better even tho I didn't know how rought the lines were till after someone else posted those pics. here's to success with the kit

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.

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.

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!
Ian
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.

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.
