hey guys wats up.. my last post waz deleted.. umm ne ways my ? is i have this setup oo its a auto also(2009)
AEM Cai, Strup 4-1 header, Tsudo Dual Exhaust, Unichip(custom map), Throttle Body Spacer nd Light Weight underdrive pulley.. Is anyone else running a setup similar to this? how much hp do u guys think im pushin.. i say about 200 or so.. my honda buddys dog me out nd laugh in my face.. so i just want to know if 200-210hp is reasonable estimate.. i mean i can take a bmw 325 coupe(v6previous model) nd a lexus 250(2.5liter6speed auto).. my box is pretty decent. wat u guys think?

 

Def no way your at 200hp. If your lucky maybe at the engine, but not at the wheels for sure.

 

um, no

IBTL

auto 210whp=

 

ya thats wat im sayin at engine of course.. wheel haha id be smokin em.. wat u think tho.. can it keep up wit the new si? if i had no 150lb sound system in the back -_-

 

a stock si lol.. i feel like a noob..

 

absolutely, positively...... NO.

 

^^^^^

 

alright fa sho.. thats y i need a faster whip :] thanx for the info.. so how much wheel hp u guys think im gettin wit bolt ons.. nd would i be closer to a si if i waz in a 5speed xb or still would be no chance?

 

my guess with all that you have done being reasonable would be your at 165 to the wheels. being that these cars make 158 to the crank stock.

 

If you want real numbers, go get a dyno tune....

 

your being way too optimistic about you hp numbers. Given those mods I would say about 155whp and i think thats being real generous.

And you will not beat a properly driven Si

 

minivans dont need extra power......OH!

 

And then you woke up, even a 5-speed would have trouble keeping up with either of those models.

With all your mods I'd be shocked if you are putting down more than 145 to the wheels. Stock autos dyno about 125-135 stock.

 

better get your self a turbo

 

My box is virtually stock as far as performance goes, and I can take Dodge Chargers, Civic SI, and even V8 Chrysler 300's... when they're stopped and the keys are out of the ignition.

Bolt-on's don't give you much performance.

 

this is a funny thread.... I strongly believe these boxes were made for allot of things but speed my friend is not one of them.... you can turbo it like mentioned above but dont plan on taking any qualifying laps or expect a spot on Speed channel "Pinks" any time soon....


and to be honest once its all said and done adding all those bolt ons to a scion XB2 and with our overall weight (vs the tc) you bascially ____ing against the wind and hoping you dont wet yourself in the process- so um save yourself the headache and heartache and 1- either trade in for a TC or some sports car 2- just hook up the box and either show it or have a very very nice DD in your drive way...



now back to the scheduled program!

 

Trade an XB for a TC? Now that's funny! Apples and oranges dude. I can think of better ways to compensate for the measly extra 120 lbs of curb weight. Just because your car will never be as fast as a Buggati Veyron is no reason not to make it go faster, if that's your bag. Look at all the TC owners pretending they have a sports car instead of an econobox chick car.

Cory James is running high 12's at 115mph in his boosted XB and a TC better have a turbo to have any chance of keeping up with my boosted auto XB. Have you seen this 10 second XB? You don't think this is worthy of a spot on Pinks?

ok guys i love the feedback im getting.. but my car does take a lexus 250 nd 325ci.. i do this often becuz my friends own these.. im not saying my box is quick it is wat it is.. i drive my car wit pretty well.. but i am gonna get a quicker car.. i realize boxes rnt fast.. i got my car up to 126 b4.. my 3rd gear goes thru 115 =] if any one in so cal im down to take u on a ride nd show u wats up... and how much r dynos?

 

...and I'm assuming that all this takes place on the street?

lol @ 3rd gear/115mph

 

If he is talking about the AWD version I could completely believe it would keep up with a stock is250. They only have 204 hp and with the awd destroying the power to the wheels and the mass amounts of extra weight due to the AWD system. Its completely plausible. And the base weight is around 3500lbs
