supercharger for Scion

[kagero79]

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 ?

Engine swap

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

[hotbox05]

hey kaz keep us updated , allthough eatons are expensive they are also good.

i'll take a whipple any day over an eaton..

I wish I could afford any of the S/C!!! I would love 30 hp and no altitude issues. 7000+ feet really kills performance.

Well...

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

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... <----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. 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.

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.

[quadoptix]

35..i have nos...these motors suck lol

[showpaojoe]

I've dun a 100shot

[jdaniels]

I've never heard of anyone on here popping their motor from boost, or nitrous... hmmm...

Ok, good to know.
