scion TC+supercharger prices

[tony814]

Hey guys i just put a deposit on the scion TC recently with the supercharger here in NYC.. put down 500$ and the price with supercharger after tax title license + new plates( only mod i put in was the supercharger) was 21,650 ... 21,150 after the deposit.. supercharger was 3299$ after install and they said should give 55 hp... hope this helps anyone who was wondering about price on the supercharger

[yhsu1]

so the tax is $1886?

and what's the price of the supercharger without installation?

[RyaN21]

damn 3299?

[yhsu1]

if s/c really gives out 55 HPs, then 3299 after installation is not that bad.... but under $3000 would be better

[tony814]

tax was like 1700$ ... supercharger before install was 2899$

[royrose]

When is supercharger expected to be available?

umm a 215hp coupe with as many features as the TC comes with stock is NOT BAD AT ALL for 21k

hell the mazda 3 only comes with 160 and nicely equipped its 20k
and it still beats the RSX also in speed prolly and its cheaper

[djimpak]

daym $21k.. not bad. a rsx-s is like $23k. tC with about 15 more hp and tons of torque... kick ___ car hehe

Where did your dealer get pricing info from? Is it TRD?

Ouch... 55 hp is more like it... but that is not "suprisingly affordable". I don't think Scions gonna be seeing too many sales of the s/c.

Have you looked at the prices of forced induction lately?? most parts only kits are at least 3k. Your getting the whole kit, installation and a WARRANTY for that price. It may not be cheap, but it's still a good price. (if its for real)

As a salesman at a Dealership (Chevrolet,) let me warn you that most salesmen and sales managers are known to give BS information in order to make a sale. (For what it's worth - I'm not one like that, but whatevah.) Now 55hp for a Supercharger on a 4-cylinder doesn't sound too bad, but I woudn't go around just yet saying, "Oh yeah the supercharger adds 55 horsepower - I know for a fact!"

[TheBigGuyRy]

The point is that's over the estimation most journalists were giving... 3K + for 50 hp? that's not suprisingly affordable. That's just disappointing.

In regards to Mr. Chevy's point of view, Scion reps can't sell an item unless it's in the menu pricing ALL Scion dealerships share. So if they sold a supercharger @ $2899, it's pretty much a good shot they've got the pricing from Scion. Now the AVAILABILITY is the big question. The talk has been that no set time has been given for the TRD superchargers release yet.

The Vortech based kit on my VW was 3600 parts only. Granted it does make more power.

Cool.... I wasn't saying anything about the price.

Not really. Outside of Nitrous, that's a fairly good deal. I find that lots of people have an exaggerated perception of horsepower.

Unfortunatly it's common for people to say their Civic Si has 190hp after they added a CAI, cat-back exhaust, and a header because they added up the HP figures on the outside of the product's boxes and that's what it comes out to.

LOL...very true...To parahprase Shakespeare ...get thy vehicle to a dyno, before thou speakest ____e....

The thing is, hp to the tarmac all depends on where you're at when you're running the car/on the dyno.....cold dense air is best, so 60 degree temp in Colorado doesn't hold a candle to 60 degree air in Miami. The elevation kills ya.


..and actually that ain't a bad price....IF it truly is 55 hp...to the WHEELS. And what are the torque increases? First things first, we need whp numbers on the stock engine....not to mention an actual TEST DRIVE!
Hell, if this thing ends up at 190 whp, and roughly the same in torque, run, don't walk, damnit.

hey 3k for something that you won't have to worry about, dealer installed with a warrenty? No hooking up an intercooler or having to put on a piggyback ECU yourself...

I'd say it may be worth it.

depends on the person....

Of course if you are really concerned about money go to your local junkyard, rip out a turbo from an 80's mustatang or thunderbird and then buy all the other stuff you may need & hook the sucker up to your TC, no innercooler, no boost controler, just 4 PSI and it'll give you a good lil HP boost.

Just make sure you know what you are doing, because if you don't, then just buy the supercharger from TRD
