I heard from somebody at Scion (I work for Toyota) that because of the super high compression of the motor, that it would be tough and really bad on the motor and wear on it bad! I know a little bit about forced induction, but not much, I'm no gearhead by any means! It seems as though a SC would be easier on the motor than a TC? I dont plan on tracking my car, just want to add some extra HP. Feedback?

A SC would be safer because there is little chance of over-boosting compared to a turbo. Sadly the FA20 is a terrible candidate for any form of FI with it's 12.5:1 CR. Even worse, the FA20 is so efficient already that there is very little untapped potential to be gained via IHE.
Did you post your thoughts here as well?

You consider a 30hp gain from an exhaust to be little?

ScionFred doesn't like the FRS lol.
This is Accelerated performance prototype turbo kit. Anyway. It's too soon for people to say what this engine can handle and can not handle. I remember when people said the tC1 and the S2000 couldn't handle boost. Look at them now. Fres86 I think you should wait a little longer and get more info before you make your final judgement.

It looks relatively easy if you ask me. But funny how there are prototype boost already on the car, and people swearing up and down it's not going to be a candidate for F/I, just because of it's compression.
High compression doesn't mean it won't handle boost. Just means it will be less boost ran on it.

No, should I? I never said that the stock 12.5:1 FA20 can't be boosted.

Got a link to this independent 3rd party dyno sheet? Or is it like your low-14 second 1/4 mile FRS link?
