To awnser your questions, these are from what I know I may be wrong.
1. No, The JDM Blitz S/C doesn't fiot the USDM xB, even if it was an automatic, so I would assume no for the TRD kit. Also the TRD kit comes with a new ECU and the JDM and USDM ECU's are different.
2. Yes and No, depends if you really want to spend 4-6 grand just to get bumped up to 150HP.
3. I can tell you what the kit comes with for the most part. PM me for more info I'm too lazy to list it all now.
4. This is just a replacement lip, the sides are rear are the same, if you look closely the TRD kit requires you to change the Grill, try and figure out why :lalala: . PM me to find out where to get the Lip. The wheels cost over $500 a piece, $2,500.00 for all four (USED) is the best price I was offered for them. The rims are made by Ray's Enineering the same people who makes Volk Racing rims.


Hope I helped, if I am wrong please feel free to correct me.

They are TRD Sports T3 rims, Bronze, sized 16 x 7 with a +33mm offset. Thats why I roll on 16 x7 (+33mm offset) 5Zigen FN01R-C, that's TRD's perfered size fot the bB, my rims weigh as much and are very much so less expensive.

I got a flyer from TRD Japan that shows the top mounted IC and all of the plumbing and such. Too bad the US ECU isn't one that can be modified.

I do know of some new rods/pistons/injectors though.

The picture in the TRD Japan catalogue shows new plugs, injectors, ECU, fittings, lines, piping, IC, attachements for the airbox, and a host of other parts that make the conversion complete. Unfortunately, its not compatible w/ the USDM ECU.

Can't you just put the JDM ECU in? Non-Californians, anyway?

I know toyota has a video of the trd bb racing a stock one. It looks pretty quick.

i agree that putting like 2-6k in getting your xb upto 150 isnt worth it , you might as we just have gotten the tc instead, i say put 300-1k into gettig a CAI , Headers and Exhuaust get it up to 130-140 (non-dyno tested) you can get the lip domestically and sides who you racing in a xb anyways ?

I/H/E will maybe bring you back to the 105HP that its rated...

An intake, headers and exhaust would only get you @ 15-20 hp out of it... Tops. Unless there are dyno papers posted we can SEE. :wink:

As far as a turbo goes, a general number is for every psi you add you gain 10hp which gets you around 60hp with a bare minimum turbo setup. 8)

that was my estimate off of the original rated 108hp from scion + the headers 5-10 + the exust 5-10 and the intake 5-10 , i just added the math but true dyno are far more realistic (and disapointing) but hey check around ive seen dyno test that make these claims but take anything you find on the internet (including this place) with a grain of salt
