I got Torque master plugs , very similar , cost like 12.00 each from www.newscionparts.com ( the are the carson toyota dealership so it wont void your warrenty) adds like 2-5 more lbs of torque in the lower gears so they say , idles a little bit rougher but I do feel the difference.

Scott17 02-06-2006 10:38 PM

Do they have Horse Power Master plugs? Because those are the ones I'd get.

tyrantcold 02-06-2006 10:51 PM

well scott there isnt any , i would suggest getting a super charger , an intake or something that would apply hell how about you go check them out before making sine comments

The fact that the company lists the tC plugs like this:

Make: SCION
Model: Xt
Year: 2004
Engine: L4 - 2.4L (2398cc)

...is enough to make me not want to ever trust them.

XD40tC 02-07-2006 12:54 AM

Haha yeah i noticed the Xt thing too. WTF??? lol

FromThisSoil 02-07-2006 01:06 AM

Don't forget about "2004" being the only year listed. They somehow managed to miss 2005 and 2006 and list a year that the car didn't even exist in the market.

i fancy these http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...&products_id=5

Scott17 02-07-2006 04:00 PM

Those are super- good too. I know my mileage went up a bunch after adding these! Power too! :doh:

toyota_scion_tc 02-07-2006 04:09 PM

I'm sorry but the diffrence you are feeling is in your head. You might see a diffrence if you run diffrent plugs in a turbo or supercharger. All motor engine won't make a diffrence its just a gimmic to get more of your money. I had a civic and just for laughs I ran almost every plug they make for it even the platnuim plus 4's and iriduim. The best plug was a basic ngk plug nothing special and the iriduims are nice but power is the exact same they just last longer.

Scott17 02-07-2006 05:49 PM

No way man, your crazy! I know they make a lot more power and I can prove it! It says so right in the ad. They got graphs and charts and like a kazillion very satisfied customers, and besides my brothers friends cousin has a sweet Honda and he tried them and he said it made a lot more power (and he has almost too much to begin with)! Heck, if you add some Nololgy Hotwires too you might have to get a parachute! :nails: I thought about trying one of the 4 sweetest plugs in each cylinder so I would get awesome HP, torque, economy and throttle response! Once I get this all taken care of and dyno-tuned I'm gonna go street racing and get some kills on a lot of fastcars! :P

jbae1221 02-07-2006 07:04 PM

^^ hahaha.. prolly not a lot of power but maybe a little more.. depending on stock plugs. i'm not sure what the tc has in them. i'm thinking titanium.
ok on the plugs, copper plugs, which are the cheapest ones out there, not all copper but slightly copperplated, transfer the spark better because the metal is softer and conducts better. the titanium ones are made of harder metal and thus take more power to make a spark. they don't conduct as well as the copper ones. less flow less spark.. more flow more spark. <more power. just my 2 cents.

FromThisSoil 02-07-2006 07:30 PM

The tC has iridium tipped ones I believe.

I'm guessing you didnt actually look at hornet's link.

toyota_scion_tc 05-08-2006 10:08 AM

I did look but don't belive it. I have been an automotive technition for 9 years and just can't see these plugs helping that much. If your plugs were really bad then yes you will notice a diffrence because you are refreshing your plugs. Prove me wrong go to a dyno put new plugs in let the engine run until it gets to operating and dyno. Then switch the plugs to NGK Iriduim IX and let the engine run until it gets to operating temp and dyno.

Chimmy3 05-08-2006 06:29 PM
