I just talked with a guy who works for Eaton, and he said he'll call parts department to see who actually makes brackets for Scions (they supply the supercharger unit to Japanese company) and he said he'll look into how he can get those. I'll post you guys for any new info, which I might get it as soon as Tue. to see if they could actually market those to U.S market. :)

So let me get this straight, the most I can expect from that supercharger kit is 30HP ?

Anyone have an idea where I can get the scion up to 200hp ?

Check out this link to E.L. Prototypes. It explains (probably) why boost is so low on existing s/c kits.

that or stroked , rods , pistons , fuel upgrades , turbo . the swap would be cheaper and probably alot more reliable

Well...

Engine swap

It appears that 10.5:1 compression and internals that aren't meant to be boosted means that manufacturers of S/C and turbo setups don't want to pump too much boost into these engines. Sounds resonable to me.
I'm sure you could put down 200hp with nitrous. Nitrous likes compression. :)

ha ha youre funny . try a 50 shot anything more and kaboom . if i were to gas i'd run a 35

Derk-xB

A 50 shot seems to make sense. Isn't the rule of thumb "1/2 your horsepower" or something like that?
The "shot" seems to poorly corilate with the actual hp that it bumps you up. At least that's what I've seen a few times on other people's dynos. So a 50 shot might give you 60 more at the wheels...pretty close to 200 crank.

Anyway... :blah: <----me

It's cool to see an aftermarket for this car. My previous car had all of 2 exhaust systems out for about 3 years. Then it bumped up to 4 or 5 choices. :clap: There was 1 s/c choice after a few years - Vortec - with a 100% failure rate (seals, looong shaft that liked to shear, etc etc). I'm just happy to see S/C and turbo kits already out! I don't think I'd ever buy one of 'em, but it's still cool.

hotbox05
02-04-2005, 06:51 AM
actually most people that have run 50 shots have hurt their motors and people have killed their motors with 75 shots . and to the contrary u get less horsepower than the shot number especially on smaller displacement motors.

I put a Power Enterprise PE300 on back in July of 04. They claim a 40% increase over stock. They dynoed their bB in Japan and it had 150 hp. It makes a huge difference over stock. I have had nothing to blow up in the xB yet. I am running 7 lbs of boost right now. I am going up to 11 lbs. As soon as a few pieces come in. I am going to the dyno when that is done. I am glad to see more supercharger coming out for the xB. And more people putting them on.

to safely boost over 7psi (daily) you will need rods. and of course better fuel. the pistons , crank , head , block and such will take more , you will also need a block guard , (good time to stroke)

And I bet you know from boosting your Scion, don't you?

Leave things like that to be sorted out by the people that actually have the balls to TRY it. All you are doing is scaring people with information you heard 3rd party. I've been boosting my car since August... I'm running around 8-9lbs daily on 93 octane.

It takes tuning, and it takes finesse and quite frankly It's a complete pain in the ___... but I did it successfully, and will continue to do it until it shoots a rod through the block, at which point I will replace the engine. Big deal -- a 400 dollar Echo engine and I'm back where I started.

Anyhow, have fun answering questions and addressing concerns that you have no direct knowledge of.

just wait till the rods break at the wrist pins. i understand that it's only another 400 to get another motor but in ca motors have to be the same model year or newer. and it's not about balls , cuz no matter how much bosst or whatever these cars are damned slow , all i'm sharing is knowledge . If i had the money to get a f.i. kit i'd have one , but I don't I guess that just makes all that i've learned wrong eh?And I know 2nd hand , allblackxb was running with boost for awhile untill just recently , threw a rod. I'm not trying to scare anyone , all I'm doing is letting people know that nothing is a complete bolt on and nothing will be a simple ,easy, unlimited power source once installed.

hmmm i highly highly doubt it cuz if turbo kit makers are only boosting 7psi but could easily boost 11 or 12 why would they only boost 6 or 7 or maybe 8? and el prototypes blew theirs with 8 lbs of boost. .........well they didnt but another shop that was doing non motor work decided to have fun with it and they blew it with only 8lbs boost. allblackxb blew his with i believe 7lbs boost.

can i see some sort of dyno? or 1/4 slip timesheet.

From my knowledge of boost and these motors 12 psi daily will kill it. i know i know only a 400 dollar motor but still a pain in the bum if it ever happens.

if i keep this motor i will run the p.e. s/c with header , custom cold air , full exhaust , and a nice bit of headwork. i think the motor with these mods can come up to about 160 or so whp. but just the header exhaust and s/c i highly doubt it having soo much power. i know it's alot faster than h.e.i. but still. i'm just one of the kinds of people that needs proof.

and the reason all the motors have blown was not lack of proper tuning it was the rod breaking near the wrist pin

dyno sheet will come after the clutch is replaced...
its been running 12 psi since October....
if you keep the motor we will have the same setup...(minus the head work...i notice you didn't say anything about rods!!!)
the PE unit come with an intake (will b making a new one because it looks like crap in there.

i find it hard to believe the rods crack at the wrist pins, the rods have an offset crank bearing to reduce the stress on the rods....

just do it and become a believer

hotbox05
02-09-2005, 11:17 AM
actually the offset crank reduces friction on the piston wrings against the cylinder walls. They used the offset crank as a way of gaining 15% better fuel economy and getting less wear on the walls and rings. .... but the weird off camber setup creates an odd stress when pushed down too hard , too fast . resulting in breakage.

If I were to run a pe s/c I wouldnt boost 11 or 12 psi , at 7 psi the rods will not have problems , so I would boost at most 8psi. but the kit is 7psi and since I wont be changing the pulley the psi created by the supercharger stays the same .

I'm tellin ya man go to www.howstuffworks.com and look up how a supercharger works. I know the pe comes with an intake but it's sucking hot air.

I'm not arguing to argue I think you're a cool guy I just think something isnt quite right , perhaps the boost gauge is hooked up to an incorrect vacumm line? Who knows all i'm saying is if these motors could safely run with 11 or 12 psi wouldnt all the turbo and supercharger kits boost at that level? What other upgrades have you done? If u are pushing 11 or 12 psi you would need massively improved fuel and spark tuning. more than what comes in a pe kit.

hmm I just wanna see the dyno lol.

If I go f.i. with the 1nz I will run a pe s/c . That's if I keep the 1nz, I just see alot more potential with the 1zz powerplant. I mean right out of the box it has almost the same hp as most f.i. 1nz kits are making. Not to mention the power of a modded TRD supercharged 1zz. a modded s/c'd 1zz can easily have 200 whp . and around 170tq.

Oh and the reason I would not be adding rods is 1 cracking the motor , 2 there are no rods made for this motor and they would have to be custom fabbed. alot of money.

dgHotLava
02-09-2005, 12:43 PM
i know how superchargers work....kinda stupid of me to put a supercharger on my car if i didn't know how it worked....lol

the boost gauge is in the pipe about 14-16 inches from the throttle body...no vacuum lines...i only wanted to read boost...

don't worry about arguing, right now its all been a good discussion....
all i am saying is that i am running 12psi safely, so far...i am not sure how long this will last, but so far its all been good to me...(keeps fingers crossed)


and i want to see the dyno numbers myself...(i am feeling 145-150hp..i think i can get another 5 in the mid band with some more tuning...)...who knows...i'll get the box run soon after the clutch is done...

i would love to tweak a 1zz motor next...

Have you seen any dynos of the PE300 with stock boost? If it can get up to around 135 WHP safely I'll probably go for it.

I keep seeing $400 for the motor thrown around, is that for the entire motor? If so then I don't much care if I blow it. My family owns a tranny shop so the motor is all I am concerned about. Has anyone actually looked up the cost for a brand new motor just in case?

hey this is for all in case you havent read any of e.l. prototypes stuff

Quote:
It responds to boost quite nicely with a properly sized turbo. But its downfalls are the internals and its engine management.
Lets touch on the internals. First and foremost are the rods. Although quite strong for their size, they are designed for normal aspiration only. A half point higher in compression is about all they can handle daily without failure. Once boost is added to the equation, it becomes Russian roulette as to when they will let loose. You may last eight months with 50,000 miles or blow it the first pass down the street; there are no warning signs.


Quote:
These engines have the crankshaft offset 12mm to the thrust side of the cylinder bore centerline. This reduces the side force generated at maximum compression, for reduced friction and improved fuel economy. Toyota calculates the offset crankshaft configuration reduces fuel consumption by between one and three percent. Unfortunately, this throws the angle of the rod way out on its upward travel causing the rod to just give up under boost and snap. If there is any detonation or pre-ignition this breakage will occur at an accelerated rate.

Most def for a manual trans. I'm thinking that because the Blitz hits right away (screw type rather then centrifugal) it might be a better choice for the automatic.

it does have a blow off valve (well kida...it recircs the excess back into the intake...no vent to the atmosphere.)

got it on ebay...new in the box...

Why not? The PE doesn't start to really kick in till around 3200 RPM. With a manual you can rev it up a bit at standstill. Not with an automatic. I guess you could do neutral drops, but aside from that.... If what you are looking for is low end power then a screw type might make more sense.

hmmm i highly highly doubt it cuz if turbo kit makers are only boosting 7psi but could easily boost 11 or 12 why would they only boost 6 or 7 or maybe 8? and el prototypes blew theirs with 8 lbs of boost. .........well they didnt but another shop that was doing non motor work decided to have fun with it and they blew it with only 8lbs boost. allblackxb blew his with i believe 7lbs boost.

can i see some sort of dyno? or 1/4 slip timesheet.

From my knowledge of boost and these motors 12 psi daily will kill it. i know i know only a 400 dollar motor but still a pain in the bum if it ever happens.

if i keep this motor i will run the p.e. s/c with header , custom cold air , full exhaust , and a nice bit of headwork. i think the motor with these mods can come up to about 160 or so whp. but just the header exhaust and s/c i highly doubt it having soo much power. i know it's alot faster than h.e.i. but still. i'm just one of the kinds of people that needs proof.

and the reason all the motors have blown was not lack of proper tuning it was the rod breaking near the wrist pin
really bro im just saying what i saw . it was 12 psi . if i didn't see it for my self I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT MY SELF. it was pretty scary . i thought foreshore that this motor couldn't take it . i am planning to run the p.e with a header myself with at most 8 psi . i wouldn't be abel to bring my self to 12 . i did give a thought to a motor swap i think the celica 2zz would do just fine in my box.

You need a lap top hooked up all the time for e-manage? lame . I dont need tuning that in depth. hell I'd have to add another 2k to my turbo price just to buy a lap topper.

dgHotLava

no, the lappy is only to see whats going on....it will work with out the lappy just fine...
e manage is ment to be tuned and locked away....'set it and forget it ' kinda thing. but i will tune as the weather changes...so i pulling out ---tuning--putting it away every month or so.

so with a "stock" motor, I could slap on a intake, exsaust, and a supercharger and get the scion xb up to 175-180hp?

cause if thats the case, I would like to ask what just an intake, and exsaust would get me?

axleback - 300-500
catback - custom - 300-500
grounding kit $20-100
intake 150-250
iridiums $40-50

dgHotLava

no management comes with it....uses the factory ecu.

it compensates the increased need for fuel by using a larger (as in flow rate) fuel pump. and changing the presure regulator....
