Since the TRD SC is finally released (checks calendar) only a year late...
How many of us on ScionLife plan on actually getting this thing...

Vote now...

 

Already Turbo'd

 

Its great really, i mean can't beat 50 state legal warrantied F/I.. but it is also really expensive for the power gains.

 

Heck yeah, I've been waiting for that thing for over a year, but still can't afford it yet, lol. I just want extra power I don't have to think about too much, don't have time or space to be slapping on a turbo. Plus the whole warranty thing is kinda important.

 

I hope to eventually be putting one on my car.

 

It's been officially released? Last I heard was they were estimating an october ship but no concrete info had been given. If ppl have these, let's get em dynoed to see if toyota is downplaying the numbers like dodge did with the '03 srt-4s. I really hope that's the case, cause 15ft/lbs torque and 37crank hp is way too little for roughly $3500, even with the added warranty protection.

 

Moved to PH...

 

Im interested...but.....I will wait to see some third party dyno numbers...

 

someone knows what are the WHP gain for the supercharger?

 

I already did this kind of poll almost a year ago.

man i dunno, but i think my scion dealer dosen't know anything. I went down there yesturday to talk to him about finally trying to get my tC, and he told me that they pulled it back again. Just my two cents, but if someones already got it let me know.

 

so its OFFICIALLY released? sorry if im late

 

Hopefully in a year or so... if i run across a few grand....except i got to save up for a wedding ring....that puts things at a stop

 

i would love to get one, but its quite a lot of money. it also bumps my gas to 91 oct, and will probably kill mpg as well. i sold my turbo eclipse to have better relyability and better gas mileage. i will still have the relyability of toyota, but my mileage will go down, probably as low as my eclipse, for what? a little more oomph? i dont even race this thing.

 

i read that the tC S/C was designed to have a low impact on fuel economy.

 

I want to know the dyno numbers too, No way i'm payiing that much for little power. now if it gives me 200 whp, that's another story. Then I would say yes, i would buy one, then i can put new headers, intake, exhaust system. hoping to get it higher, that would be so nice.

 

+1.....also want to know how tamper proof it is. All it will take is swaping a pulley if possible and hooking up a A/F meter to see how much more it can do before going lean. One or two day project by an expert and we shall know. Then the fuel impact will be the final straw on deciding.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna wait for some numbers as well. I think TRD is high quality, but I have a feeling that they stayed away from its full potential, given that it's still good under warranty. But I might be surprised when I see the numbers. Also depends on, like someone said above, how tamper-proof it is. Until all this comes out, I'm still leaning towards N/A or ZPI Stage 0.

 

agreed...

 

anybody ALREADY buy one yet?
