Has anyone here put one of these on yet. A guy who bought one of the RS 1.0 ordered one and is having it put on before he picks it up.

Wondering how much power it really adds and what it feels like. It was supposedly around $5k.

 

well.. they are being sold on here for 3.5K and are supposedly putting around 130-140ish to they wheels... IMHO wait for the greddy kit it you want to have hella power for the strip and higher rpm performance (where this motor lives) on the street... if you want a nice stoplight warrior get the blitz..

I would really suggest if its your first car and you want a power adder go super...
Its more reliable and for what is being said about these motors will perform the same way as a turbo just not as peaky..... And as product develpment hopefully TRD comes out with pulleys and what not should bump up some power..

 

Thanks for the info. I'll look for that when it comes out.

 

I spoke with the sales manager for toyota/scion where I live and he went out to CA and they tested all types of Xb and he told me on an auto that the super charge is better you won't spin the wheels off the line with a good launch. However he said on the 5 speeds the turbo is better on a hard launch the boost won't really kick in until the car is rolling and thus makes the car faster and this makes since if you own a 5 speed you know how easy it is to spin the tires. I have a turbo right now but I can't find a turbo headder for the XB

 

greddy has their turbo out for the xb now. it is avail. on www.hopupracing.com 25 bills. i'm on dat come may. its gonna be sick to death

 

Eric,
When is that xB coming in with the SC?
I'd like to check that out.

 

It's not, a 70 year old guy ordered a Hot Lava and then ordered the SC from Blitz and my dealer is installing the Super charger.

I can't wait to see it!

Eric.
