Whats up every one,
I'm sure there has to have been a post on here about this, but I am trying to build a new 08 scion xB. I want to get more out of the engine besides just what I would get from an intake and an exhaust. I want to build the car for track use and for shows. I'm thinking new cams, I don't want to do any forced induction, maybe a TRD supercharger eventually but for now I want to try and get the car to run in at least the 200hp area. Thanks guys. Once again, I know that you guys get this all the time.

 

hahaha. Smog legal? Whats that? That takes all the fun out of it.

 

ya i know. but i dont want that whole hassle of having to register out of state. haha, I'm just looking for simple mods. It's going to be a daily driver but i want to take it to the track on the weekends. so all i need is a little extra hp, and a damn good suspension

 

haha. Always can go Nitrous.. but I always recommend FI

 

FI? fuel injection? whats wrong with the one now?

 

FI = forced induction (aka turbo and supercharger)

 

nooooob lol just kidding smog legal is lame who cares im in co and we have the same emissions you do and i always pass

 

ya ya whatever. this is going to be the first car ive built for track. i have a jeep that i built from the ground up. I don't really care that much about it. I mean like I said I may go with a TRD supercharger eventually I just don't want to deal with overboost, and blowing up my engine. I already have a friend with a cracked block from his turbo over boosting.

 

the trd supercharger last i heard got canned and overboosting and the over boosting didnt cause the cracked block detonation did hahahahahhaha lol just turbo the son of a b and call it a day

 

what do you have done to yours?

 

The xB isn't exactly your most aero dynamic choice, but good luck with the build.

 

Well I hope to get into micro compact track racing. and I really don't think horsepower is THAT much of an issue as compared to grip

 

it has the same drag coefficient as the tc .32

 

how much heavier is it then the tc though?

 

2932 tc
3020 xb

 

so it isnt really that much. thats about the weight of a 6th grader hahaha

 

A good start...

mild destroke + internals that improve Volumetric Efficiency + TRD S/C kit + cat_back exhaust + Ghetto Fab Intake - weight = legal xB

 

thanks divisii. haha. but some guy said the trd s/c isnt around anymore?

 

i figured on a carbon fiber hood for less weight, i want to keep the seats though. im going for a quicker xb, but with still the functionality, so i can still haul the girlfriend and the rugrats

 

Nope, not for the Gen2
