This is true they have a fit kit from TRD due that will be available sometime this month. MSRP is about $52.00. Warranty will still apply. Part #PTR01-21060-89

Thats cool but it'll probably only give the auto 170whp which isnt worth even a warranty to me.

Unfortunatly, I haven't received the stats on it yet. I'll keep you posted.

170 whp for the auto? i dont think it would be that low..i HOPE it isnt that low! lol

Yeah, because getting more HP would be so worth paying for an engine overhaul and a new transmission :yawn:

170 whp for the auto? i dont think it would be that low..i HOPE it isnt that low! lol

manuals dyno around 185-190whp. (with just the supercharger, no other mods) So an auto with just the s/c would probably dyno somewhere around 170-175whp. Get the ZPI "stage 0" kit if you want more power than that. It will put you over 200whp.

Not to mention you are going from the lowere stock hp of the auto in the first place.... So you will prolly have around the same % gain

yeah i just saw the part on mcgeorgeparts.com

i'm going to say its going to dyno at 175whp.

thank god this is coming out soon. if all goes as planned, ill have my supercharger by this summer.

175whp wont be so bad, i mean, we do stay in our powerband for longer than the manual, and our tranny shifts less.

maybe the 20 less horsepower will give us better traction through the 1st 2 gears as well.

sorry for rambling.... lol

It does not matter much what it will dyno at - peak hp and torque will still be at redline, "sweet spot" will still be way up high in the RPM range. So since auto does not usually shift at redline and with longer gears it drops RPMs pretty low on every shift, the acceleration will be nowhere close to MT SC.

Kinda like celica GT-S auto...

Kinda like celica GT-S auto...

no way this car will be like the GT-S auto

the GT-S hit lift at 6k and the auto shifted at 7.2K

the manual shifted somewhere around 8K

the auto tranny [tC] will shift at redline during WOT

we will be putting down less power throughout the whole powerband, but that doesnt mean we wont hit the same boost as the manual transmission.

i see the longer gears as an advantage for the auto, along with a tranny that shfts faster than any human possible can.

An auto that shifts faster than any human can? Uh.. I really didn't want to have to sign in and make a fuss, but my friend owns an auto, and I have a 5speed. I've driven his, he's driven mine. The MT will shift faster any day of the week (given a decent driver). Not only does the AT suffer from "long gears", but from the lag generated when it shifts. The AT is a good highway car. As for performance, I wouldn't even bother with a SC for the AT. Doesn't seem worth it. And don't get me wrong, autos have there place, but racing isn't one of them.

i would love to see a human that can shift faster than a computer.
an automatic tranny vs a manual tranny given the same horsepower will beat the worlds best stick driver. its a known fact that automatic transmissions shift faster than humans.

there is no lag through shifting, it just doesnt shift hard.

the longer gears make this car a good "racer" since it wont have to shift, and at the same time stay within its power band.

i have the auto, and i would say the sweet spot starts at 4k and pulls all the way through, when WOT, the car shifts at 6250 and falls to 4000 in the next gear.

there is lots of hope with the auto tranny, i wouldnt put anything past it.

Okay, I'm not going to fan a fire, but here me out.

I drive both, all the time. The M/T is "quicker" than the auto. I've raced my car against my auto counterpart numerous times, with sprints from a dead stop, 20, 40mph, etc. The auto has me for a split second until I get traction to my wheels, then I tie it up in first, and eat him alive through second, and shut it down in third. I can also shift gears much faster than the auto can with hard acceleration. I understand that SOME cars with an A/T CAN shift super-fast, but this isn't the case with the tC. Now I'm only sayin that when comparing the m/t tC to the a/t tC. I'm NOT comparring a ferrari with an auto to our car--or some other exotic car for that matter. I know top end cars have fast as hell auto trannys, or ridiculously fast manuamatic transmissions. But IMO, reguardless of speed, taking away the drivers ability to shift the car (and control how and when the engine engages, and at what engine speed), takes all of the fun away from driving. I don't care which is, or can be quicker/faster, or which car has more potential with a super or turbocharger. I drive my 5-speed daily and I wouldn't want it any other way.

IF my buddy gets his auto tC supercharged (which i HOPE he does!!), I'll post the results of future races. But IRL, I don't think it's a smart financial decision on his part atm. I'm going to SC mine in may, when I can take off my ____acular snow tires/steel wheels and slap my 18" enkis/pirelli's back on.

Everything aside, I just don't like the gearing of the A/T. That's one of the reasons I'd never buy an auto tC. I'm not super happy with my gearing either. Toyota really f ucked up my final drive ratio.. 3000rpm @ 70, who the hell were they kidding. And first gear is way too short.. I have my complaints too. Do I think the A/T has more potential as far as who will run a better 1/4 mile time with a SC? Uh, no. You simply loose too much power through your torque convertor. M/T tc's are getting what, 190+ to the wheels, and the A/T is said to put down 170+? Um, those are easy figures. Will they be close? sure. Will the A/T out perform the M/T? I really have my doubts. If you can prove me wrong, do it.

im not saying that the automatic transmission will run faster quarter mile or 0-60 times, im just saying its IMPOSSIBLE for a human to shift faster than a computer.

Nope, the auto tranny wont outperform the MT, but i'd put money on it that the auto tranny will run a 15 flat in the 1/4 mile.

It's about damn time this thing came out, geezus. I dont care what anyone says, I'm getting mine, and I'll get a dyno to show the numbers

go for it

as for me making the tC a performance car...

:no: :no: :no:

saving up for a new 350Z

300HP BABY! :bow:

350Z is nice, but I'd prefer a G35 myself

^ LOL
When ZPI installed the supercharger they got 195whp, I havent seen any in the 180 range.
Although I'm guessing the Auto S/C will be right around 185.

Majority of drag cars are auto.... With the right mods, An auto will beat a manual.... shift kits, stall converters... things of that nature.... jsut a little input... that's all

This is true, a lot of pro drag racers have used autos to beat manual drivers. It requires some mods but when done properly an auto will have the advantage.

But there's no sport anymore!

ZPI also dyno'd the s/c with exhaust. A stock manual with s/c will dyno around 185-190whp. A stock automatic should dyno around 170-175whp. 175whp would probably be pushing it, it will more likely be around 170whp.

Still, you've sucked the fun right out of the race ;)

Honestly though, my car runs mid 15's with my 18"s. I guarantee I'll be in the low 14's with my SC, and nothing else.

At any rate, I guess I just hate automatic transmissions (reguardless of them having more potential or what not) because you don't drive the car, the car drives you. Here, let met some it up:

3 pedals > 2

Flame on.

DSG! is all i have to say

first of all, the drag cars have trannys that cost as much as our cars. and NOTHING is out there for the auto for the TC that will make it a competitor(sp) in drag racing at our levels. and as for peop;le buying S/C's for their autos, in my opinion, its not worth the money. but i really dont care if someone wants to spend 4k on a auto to make it just a little faster than a manual TC in the first place. as for people who buy a high stall kit for daily driving, their idiots, i would love to drive around with them in the city and have them have to launch at every stop sign, red light, cause their tranny wont engage till 3k rpm. well thats just my opinion. take it or leave it

grant there are no shift kits for our TCs yet, but Autos not in racing? I raced a 1972 GTO with a 455 HO (blah blah blah ) well lets say its 10.49@132mph(663hp and 660lbft torque) for a 1/4 mile and well it was running an Auto, not only was it running an auto the shifts where just as fast and crisp as any manual tranny out there(my tranny guy said it was all about the balls). Yes I did switch to a 4speed manual but thats mainly because I like to shift my own gears. Now before you guys light me up and say "ohh thats a race car" my old Audi Coup GT with its 5 speed, I could speed shift that with only using my thumb and forefinger. If your tranny sucks it don't matter if its a manual or auto. It just so happens that the manual is much better then the auto in our TC, but to make a blanket statement that an auto has no place in racing is just well a n00b thing to do

im not saying that the automatic transmission will run faster quarter mile or 0-60 times, im just saying its IMPOSSIBLE for a human to shift faster than a computer.

You're missing part of the equation. You're completely forgetting the hydraulic components that the computer is operating in the transmission. So taking that into consideration, you need to rethink your impossibility statement in regards to the shifting performance of the stock transmissions in the tC. :P

how much hp can a auto tranny handle? how much psi for that matter. anyone really know? im thinkin' we're gonna have to wait until this auto fit kit for the s/c actually comes out and see what other people do.

how much hp can a auto tranny handle? how much psi for that matter. anyone really know? im thinkin' we're gonna have to wait until this auto fit kit for the s/c actually comes out and see what other people do.

I'd say safely around 10psi, give or take. Without any modifications to the tranny that is. Probably around 220whp-230whp at most over a long period of time. Even then its questionable when you talk years.

i wouldnt put anything more than 220 to the wheels. the stock auto tranny wasnt build for power.

hmmm, looks like i'd have to upgrade my tranny then.

auto's can be made to out perform a manual; but many of those mods can make life on the street a bit miserable. My friends Camaro ran 10.7; built rat motor; full manual auto w/ hi-stall convertor. Car was a blast; and with the auto taking driver "error" out of the time equations, it was very consistant ( yes I know a stick driver can run very similar times;but it is difficult ). But when driving it around town; there was no "drive" to rely on, making it a bit tedious at times. But i guess that's in a way the same as a stronger pressure plate making the old left leg grow quite tired in stop & go traffic with a stick.
Back to the present; last blown 4 with an auto I drove was when Mitsu put at's in the first gen eclipses. Car still performed nicely ( factory said only 5hp less for at; seemed to lose more then that though ); but could not match the stick's initial surges off the line.
But many people want/enjoy going shiftless--no reason they can't have fun too. But I would think that with heavy engine mods, these auto transaxles will definitely need some modding as well.

this thread is killing me... i got my tC as a gift (it happens to be an automatic) i was totally set on getting the supercharger, but now i find out that i am not going to get the power?!?!?! I am going to drop $6000 total (money i had saved up for my car, and i want POWER... what the heck can i do to spank the 325i's and civics in jersey?

the tC can already spank civics and 325i's

...ahem... slighty modded (I/H/E) civics fart canned up... that makes them feel their poopie don't stink guys... besides... im an auto, i have noticed lag over the manual i test drove... sorry for being unclear

auto fit kit has been out for a while now..u can always get the stage 0 kit from zpi. i was going to get that kit until the release of the s/c. what really won me over was that it was putting close to 200whp. even though we are auto's we can still get the same percent of power increase. if you want more boost you can simply change out the pulleys. right now im doing research on an emanage that my tuner can actually tune. thinking of unichip seeing as how that is the best candidate out there. and yeh, tC's can already spank civics and 325is..just cuz the civic's exhaust is loud doesnt mean anything :P

...ahem... slighty modded (I/H/E) civics fart canned up... that makes them feel their poopie don't stink guys... besides... im an auto, i have noticed lag over the manual i test drove... sorry for being unclear

:rofl: last night i was driving with my friend, and we pulled up to a civic with a really loud exhaust, and when the civic took off from a light, my friend said that they just heard an airplane take off.

Im curious because before the S/C came out people where installing turbos for the M/T. I rememer a lot of people said if you have a A/T tranny to wait for the S/C because A/T tranny handle better a S/C installed then with a Turbo. Now that the S/C is finally coming out for the A/T you guys are saying it wont really make a difference. :( I think i got the wrong car LOL ><

of course it'll make a difference, im expecting the auto tC to dyno around 175whp.
thats a 45whp jump from its base WHP

so, zpi stage 1 or supercharger? any input for the auto guys?

i think stage 1 might be pushing it..i dont know of any autos with even the stage 0 yet. zpi said that the stage 0 is perfect for autos but since nobody i know of has it for the auto, its all speculation. but like i said, it may be pushing it..especially if its 300+ whp and tq

why do you all keep saying the kit is out for the a/t? it isn't.
mcgeorge has had the part number on their site because they are too lazy to remove it.

And I spoke to TRD this week. They also say it's still not out.

I just ordered my Fit Kit, The company didn't say anything about a "Pre-Order" or anything. If the link below doesn't work go to

I'm not sure if I just got scammed or if I'm going to have to wait like the rest of us... But I will let you know when I receive my package :) Seems to come from a Reputable company, "Champion Toyota" is a Scion Dealership.

some of you guys can be so rediculous, manual vs. auto baby! autos can beat maunuals, manuals can beat autos! give it a break..it can be so tiring some times reading these threads and everybody getting so territorial about their tranny. i have an auto. i would like the sc too. but i dont race. if i ever got pulled over for racing, my insurance would bend me over and stick it in dry. i just enjoy driving the car, just accelerating on an on ramp, or passing on the highway, or the occasional wot to mess with the ricers and wannabes'.
i wouldnt want to even think about turbo, that is so much wear and tear in the long run, but the sc was designed keeping torque gains lo, to go easy on the tran. thats great for everyday driving. i would get the sc, suspension, and other stuff to make my car feel good when i drive, but you would never see me going to the track or anything, because in the racing catagory, our cars fail. i knew this going into the auto back when i ordered it. would i go back and switch to a manual? no. just cuz i couldnt stand reverse, lol. but yea, manuals are fun. my svt contour would woop up on most of the cars around, i miss it, but fords were and are a peice. it just depends on the car. i would never buy a performance sport car in an auto. thats just dumb. but when it comes to "sporty" cars that arent performance, but "torquey", yea...i got an auto. plus it would be fair because my fiance cant drive manual. its just a cool car, and the best price in its class by far. just my .02, but i hate to see people getting in biccerments over silly things, like what tranny is faster...
we all bought our tranny for which best suits us...

and please, no flame throwers pointed at me, and no calling me ignorant either, i think i would cry... :P

...ahem... slighty modded (I/H/E) civics fart canned up... that makes them feel their poopie don't stink guys... besides... im an auto, i have noticed lag over the manual i test drove... sorry for being unclear

its quite alright, im auto and ive beaten 325i's and i/h/e civics.

do you have a lot of mods in your car? i used to have a V6 accord and my friend at work is so proud of his 325i though i always beated him, now he keeps saying lets race, now with your post im wondering how can my tC beat a 325i with 215hp/185 tq (he keeps saying that) :blah: or do i have to do some mods? no SC or Turbo for me... :cry:

i think stage 1 might be pushing it..i dont know of any autos with even the stage 0 yet. zpi said that the stage 0 is perfect for autos but since nobody i know of has it for the auto, its all speculation. but like i said, it may be pushing it..especially if its 300+ whp and tq

sciondad has stage 0 on his auto... that is what i meant... supercharger or stage 0?

if you dont really care about warranty and that stuff, i'd say stage 0. costs about the same mayb even less but you get much more power from the stage 0 than the s/c. if you are conerned with warranty and stuff get the s/c.

This is true they have a fit kit from TRD due that will be available sometime this month. MSRP is about $52.00. Warranty will still apply. Part #PTR01-21060-89

no mods on my car, just make sure you can launch or you will lose. It WILL be a close race, and make sure the 325i is auto too!

bump to see if its still not out :pray:

probably will be as long as it took to finally see the supercharger in the first place.... :yawn:

bump bump bump!

bump again? any news from those that are more connected?

another bump and ill start deleting!

but seriously... cmon... we all know this thread exists and as soon as someone gets it done they will post about it. You saying bump isnt going to make it happen any faster.

true but still its worth knowing

trust me, when/if it shows up, you will not believe the amount of talk it will generate.

trust me, when/if it shows up, you will not believe the amount of talk it will generate.

this TRD fit kit will in fact be more popular than sliced bread, AND color TV, COMBINED!

Yea, I heard the fit kit will add an extra 20HP to the SC used on the Auto TC's ;)

Yea, I heard the fit kit will add an extra 20HP to the SC used on the Auto TC's ;)

Where did you hear its going to add 20hp?

the fit kit isnt going to add horsepower, its going to make it possible for the SC to be installed with the auto tranny.

whats Sliced Break? :P :lol:

whats Sliced Break? :P :lol:

Good question!

Jeez, the K key isnt even close to the D key.

Hmmmmm...

yeah a fit kit is a fit kit nothing that will add hp, though if it did it would be sweet, but it dont so yeah

If you turbo your auto, you wouldnt loose boost between shifts, like you would in stick, right?

and...

I remember reading something on one of the forums here that, putting I/E/H will make an auto slower .... I forgot why.... can anyone clear this up?

i/h/e shouldnt slow down the tc whether it be auto or manual..

i called mcgeorge last week and asked and they said its still not available and they dont know when it will be :(..i want auto fit kit!!

same i had gettin burned by an auto is300, i could cream it with a s/c or at least put up a fight

i called trd, the guy was very uninformed. he said there is no eta, and i asked if there were any notes about it, no, and he doesnt know anything at all. supriesed he got his own name right, i felt like i was talking to my sales person. for real, im getting frustrated, as many others are. the s/c wait was justified, but what excuse do they have for a support bracket? maybe theyve incountered tranny probs? my only guess. also, for the people that know people a little deeper in trd, can you see what the hold up is? i dont mind waiting as long when i know whats going on, but it angers me to think they are being lazy. i just got my new no interest credit card for 4,000, and i want it before my no interest runs out!

well i have found a solution, im lookin into trading my auto in for a manual :), so if i do that ill def b gettin the s/c fo sho

i was just wondering..can zpi possibly make one for us? they are already doing so much for the auto tranny..why not make an auto fit kit for the s/c for us? they also have some stuff for the supercharger as well. just a though.. hopefully a zpi guy sees this post :P

yea i sent TRD an email last night, still waiting for a response...

Someone wanna buy it for my CSM??

if your wanting to get ZPI to make it why don't you just go for the turbo?

cause i want the s/c :D.

it wouldnt be warrantied. all this thing is is a silly bracket right? i really can't stand the worthless waits. they are just going to do it when they get around to it. maybe they dont think the auto will be able to handle it? obviously were talking long term, but still. ive actually considered the fact maybe they dont think it is worth making for the demand, but for 50 dollars, come on. i dont know, all i know is i was fine waiting back in the winter, because regardless i wasnt going to buy it until april, but now its almost here, and just like last year, when the s/c was suppost to be out, and had to wait until fall, this better not be the case!

maybe every one that is seriously ready to buy the s/c when if the fit kit comes out, we should all call trd every day, and ask to speak to the supervisor and complain. if they get enough calls showing the demand, this could help move things along?

but if you get ZPI to do the fit kit i bet you anything that the S/C would lose the warrenty if you used it...

don't get me wrong, i would rather have the S/C as well, it along with other little things would put me exactly where I want to be.

but if it comes time for when im ready for f/i, and the s/c is not here, then im going stage 0.

hey everyone, this just in from trd...
this is new to me, i didnt know this, but youall might have,

the auto fit kit will be realesed sooner than later.
the wait isnt on the bracket, they have to develop a different reflash program for the auto, different from manual...

is it possible that this reflash is the same kind of programming for the auto tranny that the ESK would be giving us?!? HMMMM

If SO, TRD is definetely doing this the right way.

i think it's a long shot that the reflash would be like an ESK...hearing that they'll be having a different reflash for the auto makes me a little bit more worried..trd went the "safe" route for the reflash of the 5spd..i think its gonna be even safer for the auto meaning less power...:(..but hey there's always hope :pray:

they said that the last time on one of the other S/C threads that once was alive... :yawn:

i never heard TRD was having a problem with the reflash. where did you hear about the reflash kcautotc?

i heard that they were working on it, but i never heard that they were having problems with it.

hey everyone, this just in from trd...

the auto fit kit will be realesed sooner than later.



hmm, how often have i heard that one?

i must call that guy at TRD every 3-4 weeks since last November. i get the same stinkin' answer.

oh no, i didnt want to imply that there were problems, just that the reflash program is what the hold up is about, not just the bracket. i wasnt aware, well, i guess i didnt think about it, about the auto needing a different reflash program. but i was posting the info incase others werent aware of this, like me. but the delay is due to the program, but he didnt say they were having problems.

and even if it partialy changed the tranny's shift characteristics, like a mild esk, we should be so blessed!

if the supercharger creates less power than the manual, then i will have some serious thoughts, 175 whp is low enough for 3500. we can hope, but the first person to get this is OBLIGATED to dyno within the first week, OR ELSE! :eyebrow: :lalala: :silly:

yea? they gave you a tracking number and everything????

hmmm well another dissapointment, but maybe not. Didnt receive it today like I had planned, got only my cf dash kit. Called mcgeorge to find out whats up and they said I had to call back tomorrow before 4 EST cause the guys that deal with shipping leave then or whatever. So I will call tomorrow and see whats up with it, hopefully they can give some insite. I just hope I didnt get mine or others hopes up too much :nails:

dude, i called mcgeorge like everyweek asking about the fit kit. they have it for sale on their site but when i asked about it they said it hasnt been released yet and they dont know when it will be. i know trdsparks advertises it but states that it has yet to be released. mcgeorge just has it out for sale thats why i inquired about it. good luck though..hopefully you do receive it so the rest of us can order ours too :pray:

yeah man I hope so, cause I was gonna hold off on ordering my sc, but I figured if I got the fit kit today it would spool me up and I would just order it........ :P

LAST YEAR i saw it on their site too, i got excited so I ordered mine, just to get an email saying its not available yet. They can at least state that its N/A yet. lol

i actually think a while ago they had it posted that the part was not yet ready for release. But i guess that has changed.

FINALLY!!!
a response from TRD. [3 e-mails later]


The Scion tC supercharger automatic fit kit is under development and we don't have an ETA at this time.

So at least we know its definetely happening. Just not sure when.

yeah just got off the phone with Paul from McGeorge and he told me the same thing.....hmm guess I got my hopes up when I ordered it and got a tracking # and everything, but im in line for one whenever they are available. Hopefully that will be soon, he also said that TRD did NOT give a date, just said they kept telling him "soon" or "30 more days". pffff......well hopefully this is for a good reason and they do it right. He did say that all the kit is going to be sounds like is a bushing and a washer of some sort. :tap:

:no: $45 for bushings and washers :no:

no, the $45 is also for the special ECU reflash.

i bet anything thats whats holding them up.

i thought it was also a dipstick...since that seems to be in the way for auto.

yes that too.

the hardware to relocate the dipstick and the ECU reflash.

I'm pretty sure that thats it.

^^ yup what he said.

soooooo.....................

well ladies and gentleman - the auto fit kit has been released!!! It was released earlier this week I believe. I called McGeorge back again, and they are placing an order with Toyota this week. I also think that Sparks has some already. Mine is on its way from McGeorge whenever they get the shipment in.....can't wait. Now to save $ again for the blower. Gonna be a little tough now with a kid on the way :nails:

has anybody else already ordered their fit kits? what about the s/c itself?

well now we need DYNO #'s!!!

well now we need DYNO #'s!!!

YES YES YES!!! Now we're talkin'! :pray: I'm so wating to see these I'm gonna explode.

he just placed an order and your already talking about dyno.............slow down. Its not even in the mail yet

I told YA!! just a little premature.
