Well... just when you thought we were sitting back, think again!

We at Dezod have been designing, testing, and trying new parts, new designs, and new ideas.

UPDATE 1: INTERCOOLER
The first upgrade/update is the new Dezod high performance intercooler. Custom built for the tC. This unique bar and plate intercooler supports 550hp and still retains your factory bumper! It also supports our current IC pipe layout so you do not need to completely re-do your pipes if you decide to use this IC. It's compact, polished, and VERY efficient. It's a bar and plate intercooler that can accomodate almost any goal you have set for your tC, without compromise.

Here's how it compares to our current IC:

UPDATE 2: Internals

We talked about this before, and we're still doing it. The head upgrades will most likely be re-grinds but we're still working on that situation. We do have an account now from a very reputable company that will be making custom pistions built to our specs exactly. You as the consumer have some options. Would you like stock bore or .5mm over bore? Would you like them left alone or have heat coating (costs an additional $128). We would like the heat coating because most people that go for pistons are doing it for ultimate reliability with the added performance benefits, what do you think?

UPDATE 3: ENGINE MANAGEMENT

We'll just never leave this part alone. In the quest to get the most out of our platform, we sought new engine management that isn't being run on any other Scion to date. We're working closely with the company and will be receiving our complete plug and play engine management system next week. This will be the closest thing to a stand-alone ecu, and allow you to work off of your base ecu maps, making tuning easier. The system we're using does pretty extreme datalogging, is easy to program, and has more features than some stand alone units. It's a proven system that's worked with other HIGH hp cars alread (over 500hp on this piggy back system on multiple occasions). We're keeping the brand name and parts anonymous until the complete testing makes us comfortable enough to openly advertise everything it can do, and how much power we're safely making. Expect this upgrade to come with Stage 2 Dezod turbo kits.

UPDATE 4: TURBO

Small update, but here goes... We spec'd out the Stage 1 turbo for the psi, redline, and displacement our stock motors use. We couldn't be more happy with the results. We're now making new calculations and are in progress of the development of the stage 2 turbo. It will be geared for higher boost levels with similar efficiency to the stage 1. Best of all, keep your S1 manifold, because it bolts right up!

:clap:

i agree with Dr. Strangelove up there, good chances im going to be in the market for one of the stage 2s after i get my stage 1

Yeah all of this is in the works! We will be the 1st in the world to have this EMS running on the tC.

i can finally be like SUMI from 2 fast 2 furious and have a flat screen displaying my engine diagnostics... YAAYYYYYY

Almost. Not quite. :rofl:

mmmmm, that would, uhh, be PIMP!

PUAL LET ME DREAMMMMM!!!

You can dream, but that may be a reality

maybe a lil off, but no plans for the TRD SC?

Well, the in-dash lcd screens are there to display the data, are there not any monitoring programs out there to display all that info which is processed by the car's computers anyway?

There are multiple units on the market that do such a thing. We just use a laptop.

Apexi, Greddy, Blitz, and HKS all have something that acts as a monitor. Other companies do as well.

Shows you how much I know. Not to hijack, but do they have setups to display to an in-dash LCD like Nav unit screens?

Do we have to re drill holes to mount the IC (it seems that way because of the top mounts)

Can't wait for stage 2!

by the way i ment to say SUKI not SUMI, and yeah thats what i want in the future. Have it all displayed on a screen either mounted on the dash or as the navi unit. I have a laptop, but it would be nice to have a moniter right there at all times so you could moniter everything as the car is runing without haulin the lapper everywere.

I just dont know how to do that :(

Apexi makes the RSM which only shows rpms, speed, optional g-force, and est hp. It can show small things like battery voltage as well. The also make the I-moni, that's OBD2 based and can read off similiar parameters.

Blitz makes the Power Meter i-D which is pretty much the same exact thing as the Apexi unit but without the g-sensor.

HKS made a kick ___ unit that is now discontinued called the CAMP (computerized automobile multi-player). That thing showed EVERYTHING and had video out and inputs. With the optional junction box you could monitor speed, MPG, gas mileage, fuel consumption and injector opening percentage. You can also monitor boost, water and oil temps, ait temps, egts, and volts. The past function provides five trip recorders that individually memorize the total driving distance, operating hours, fuel usage and average gas mileage. It sucks they stopped making the unit though, but I'm sure something will replace it, for compatability, it said works with windows 95/98 lol...

Beltronics Vector and G-tech are somewhat identical units that perform similar to the Apexi and Blitz systems.

Almost forgot about this bad boy...They make a HUD version of this too...

Not to mention Autometer even got into the game on this too.....

FYI: We have 2 tC ACT clutches in stock and ready to ship. Just thought I would add with respect to speaking about making more power.

Just wondering... Have you guys seen the 2az block bare..?? The sleeves are not .5 thick *LOL* let alone bore them...

What company is making that EMS for you? I would be weary trying out a new management systems produced by smaller companies. AEM, Unichip, Haltech, Greddy, HKS etc. are safer (although everything depends on tuner).

Don't worry about that. We will show the community whats goin on with this system.

This system showed VERY impressive results on a similar Toyota based platform, and we figured success on this vehicle would be a no-brainer. We shall see.

A bigger name, does not necessarily mean it's better.

there is a company making sleves for this motor so now you can run slightly larger piston's with out harming your motor. i belive it said 95mm for na or 93 mm for turbo

Golden Eagle.........new product

If anyone is looking to upgrade their existing Dezod intercooler or looking for a custom kit intercooler we will have more of these intercoolers in stock by early next week. PM me for the Dezod upgrade prices.

Do you have to redrill holes, or will you be moving the mounts?

Holes will have to be re-drilled because it was quite awkward mounting....

Defnitely looking forward to your future product line up, especially stage 2 and the engine components. Were you guys going to have a rods/pistons combo in the near future? I know ZPI has a stage 1 engine upgrade with a new engine with just forged pistons, so would it be similar to that? Thanks for your time guys and keep up the good work :clap:

We are probably not going to do a long block or anything like that. Just internals and PnP for your existing block.

Thanks Paul that's all i needed to know!

Welcome!

Any updates guys?

Any updates guys?

Actually yeah.

We decided to give our S1 one last hoo-ra and crank her up a bit more to see what she dynos at. We will post results in the next few weeks.

Are you guys located in ftlauderdale? i defenitely wana stop by and check out the scion goodies lol.. and if you need cars to test and dyno your products on lol im game!

There is no test car, etc, so good luck w/ that!

One of our test tC is in NH, the other in AZ. Sorry we do not have one here in FL. Furthermore, we are not open to the public at this time. Later toward the end of this year we will be moving into a much larger place and then we should be open to the public. Thanks for your interest though, and stay tuned. (no pun intended) :rofl:

We have 2 tCs that are test cars. One up in NH and the other one is out in AZ and they have not come forward yet because their setup is not complete. I am sure they will be posting once their setup is done. From what I heard from Paul is a pretty sick setup.

Stay tuned TCpete :) Appriciate the interest!

come on stage 2!! hehe

come on stage 2!! hehe

Very soon we will have some interesting test results from our S2.

good stuff will stay watching.. hope you open a shop in south florida soon.

A BIG show.

you know what would be a fairly big event, you go to the zpi shoot-out and kick all of their butts at their own show and at their own turf. THAT would be a big show...

True, but that is this next weekend....the car will be in for paint work for the next 2 weeks.....THAT SUCKS! We would love to attend the ZPI event. The next one for sure we will attend.

Just from my personal experience with having these engines apart, (and Ive done several now) a few MM overbore is needed to ensure the cylinders are round for the new pistons.

I know that my personal block only had 5800 miles on it and it took 3mm to get them back to perfect. I would think anyone with some miles on their car would want a good touch hone before installing any new pistons. 5mm is the only way to go, IMO.

Joe is on the dyno now with some pleasing comparison results........
