tC1 supercharged build?
So I have an 09 tC, with the supporting engine mods: bc stage 2 n/a cams, bc valves, springs and retainers. Apexi axle back. And an AEM intake. I also have a set of 550cc injectors. I was wanting to do the TRD supercharger (don't hate, I know it's not the best thing but it's a daily and a canyon car) I was wondering if anyone has done a build with the supercharger and got maybe 270-300 whp? Please help.

I am not on here much anymore but I am making just shy of 330 but haven't been redynoed since making some tweaks.

Just finished my SC build. so far I'm making 270WHP, I'm really gunning for 300WHP. i have the following mods; NST 14 psi pulley, fully built head with BC stage 2 cams, +2mm valves both intake and exhaust, 1000cc injectors, aeromotive 340 fuel pump, front mount same side intake and exhaust intercooler, turbox's bypass valve, WeaponR headers, custom S and midpipe, tanabe concept G axle back exhaust, tuned on Aem Fic6. any suggestions as to what to do for that little extra hmpph of 30whp?

When running that kind of power, an exhaust can make a big difference. If you're running anything less than 3", your probably choking off your top end due to the high CFM demands with that much air going into the engine. I imagine that axle back is at best 2.5", maybe even smaller (60mm??). Also, what diameter is the midpipe?
While you won't pick up 30whp from this alone, I've seen turbo guys gain almost 20whp going from an axleback to a full 3" exhaust like P-Tuning's or similar.

Do yourself a favor and research the SC for these cars. There were many design problems, and the reliability was so poor that it was discontinued by Toyota. There have been a few floating around here and there, but almost none are complete and the reflash of the ECU is no longer available from Toyota. If you're gonna do anything, go with a turbo kit running low boost, and make sure it is a reputable one like Dezod or PTuning. Don't go for an ebay special.

I've done the research, I know all about the problems. Still want one since California has some strict emission laws so turbo isn't an option. I don't want anything crazy, just a simple, clean boosted daily. And i'm not looking to sell my car, just makes more sense to run it into the ground.

Well then, check the classified section of the forum. Also, check out the FB page "Scion tC1 parts for Sale" or something like that. It's far more active than the forums now, and you can post that you are searching for one. Most of the SCs are old and probably worn out at this point, but that's gonna be your best bet of finding one.

not to harp on it or anything, but I have had my supercharger for some 9 odd years now and it runs well and have had no serious issues with the s/c, or regret my decision to go with it, I plan to keep running it for years to come.
Still, I would not recommend it for anyone, especially at this point in its lifetime, if you're lucky enough to piece together a full kit and tune it, the chances of it running reliably for any worth while amount of time are almost impossible without a likely significant cost.
