Ok well, I now have my SC installed and yeah I love it. It is a very smooth power delivery and you can notice a difference as low as 2000 rpm's. I have heard this from a very reliable source. But anywase I have heard that within two-three weeks there will be an intercooler system available that should add 30-40 whp. They have decided to go front mount. It sounds about right because if you look at the Vortec website the civic gained 45 whp do to an intercooler and the Integra gained 35.

Secondly, within the next couple weeks there will also be three new pulley upgrade kits to boost the psi. Well, now any S/C guys should have no probelm at all hanging with anything out there with a few upgrades. Also the intercooler shouldn't effect the warrenty what so ever however I don't know about the pulley's. Adding another 40 whp should put the TC's at a solid 240 w/o header or exhaust.

 

i havent heard anything like this from scion/toyota. what source is this? an intercooler would be cool but i dont see how it can add that much hp when the sc already adds 40-60hp

 

im just posting cuz i wanna be updated with this topic. if this is all true i may get the supercharger :-)

 

yea that intercooler is pretty necessary here in vegas for the summer time...115 degrees is no joke

 

Yeah. What "reliable" source is this?

 

If this is going to be true, its just makes my decision for going S/C even better.

 

you sure it will be a front mount and not one of the charge coolers, like this one

sounds too good too be true....but i hope it is of course

 

i was told by one of the TRD guys at a show that TRD would be coming out with an intercooler but not until next year

 

This could be very interesting. But lets not get our hopes up, Remember how long it took them to come out with the supercharger.

 

i dont know about the intercooler, but it would make sense that trd would want to have upgrade pulley kits to market since aftermarket people would be making a living off of it. besides, the s/c doesnt put out that much power anyways so mayb that is jus another strategy to market upgrade kits.

 

so true

 

but seriously folks. Please don't play with my emotions when it comes to the TRD supercharger. If TRD is really coming out with upgrades, I will be a very happy man.

 

all this information on the supercharger is making me think twice...

 

yea, intake sales are gonna really go down noww hahaha, except for of course umnitza and ARC

 

To aggressive for TRD. It is correct and valid information that comes from a VERY reliable source, the company has proven themselves to be a leader in forced induction in the SCION community. I was not sworn to secrecy but I will not let the cat out of the bag.

 

i guess we're just gonna have to grab a hold of that bag and rip it open ourselves.

jk.

 

hmmm..forced induction and scion....doesnt take a genius to figure out that ZPI is suspect number 1...or is it?

 

Scionspeed, I'm sure.

 

right after their turbo kits start shipping right?

 

I have been leaning more towards a turbo lately (after starting off so S/C crazy)
after some dyno # have shown up im leaning back
if this is all true then I am def gonna go back to the SC.
