"2004 SuperCharged Xb DTM Style Race Car — high school student daily driver. The Scion has full race interior, suspension on Yokohama/Voxx Scorze 18"s, and is supercharged for more fun! It's a head turner even in SoCal and it goes as good as it looks!"
KingLou 02-19-2004, 07:25 AM If you look at that site........it says "submitted by glnmaurer". That's Glen Maurer.........the father of the kid that drives it. The kids name is Chase. I've never seen him post here. He's running a Power Enterprises supercharger. They say they don't have it completely tuned yet........still working on sorting out some fuel issues I guess.

its_ikon 02-19-2004, 07:24 PM it was at exposed.
XBBOY 02-19-2004, 07:36 PM yeah that's a cool car and the owners are really good people too. I've met them and talk to them at the car show...great job guys.
DibujoB 02-19-2004, 08:06 PM That's Glen's car....really nicely done. SPFR is going to update his audio, and it'll be even sicker. It was in the lobby at SEMA last November, and he's been at a couple of recent shows...pomona and exposed.
showpaojoe 02-19-2004, 08:21 PM ya, Glen's real cool. I gotta invite to his shop and I can't wait for his website to be fully up and running.

Sticker MANIA
*ricer* man I bet that things got 500hp with all those stickers *ricer*
DibujoB 02-19-2004, 10:16 PM His car needs a new grill. Just my opinion. Other than that, I think it looks awesome.

actually that's a shop car...they use it to advertise and promote the porducts they seel or are sponsored by...and as far as hp, the sc probably adds another 40-45 on it. I've seen their car and their work on the engine, very clean job.
ScionBandit 02-19-2004, 10:47 PM that is a sweet ride though.
when r they goin to fine tune the engine on that baby??

arinvolvo 02-20-2004, 07:25 AM glenn said that are getting 120 to the wheels....not TOO impressive.
quadoptix 02-20-2004, 07:39 AM what u expect for a supercharger for a 1.5 L motor. Honestly, i'm happy they did put the PE s/c on the scion. This kills that rumor that it doesnt fit. Don't forget that the PE supercharger was designed for daily driven cars and boost is low on it. Up the boost and upgrade the internals and you should be quick.

Glenn seems like a nice guy. Dunno about his son......I'm sure the kid's plenty nice.......but at SEMA he said a few things that just made me think "Yeah, whatever dude."

JDMxB 02-20-2004, 01:24 PM I don't see a real purpose with making the car look like he tracks with it--when all it does it sit at car shows.
Must be nice to have Daddy Dearest paying for everything.
kwicslvr 02-20-2004, 01:26 PM I think he needs a couple more stickers. Then he will have a red xB!
aznr1c3bo1 02-21-2004, 02:03 AM waaay to many stickers. looks busy. really busy. other than that nice car.
gulp35 02-26-2004, 12:56 PM I was looking around the internet and found this
http://www.toyotanation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28973
Glen mentions that it doesn't need a computer upgrade, and he is running about 123 WHP
I also looked at the JDM TRD Turbo parts and it looks like they are using a upgraded fuel pump as well as injectors and spark plugs, but no upgraded internals and they are running 7psi and are saying about 150 hp at the flywheel.
Now only if TRD introduced it in the US :evil: .
<EDIT> Oh yeah, Glen's website is highonscion.com , It is on his windsheild </EDIT>
