help, im a noob at this ____. I dont think i want to turbo it.

 

lol look around bro. scionlife is filled with this answer.

but quick setup, intake, headers, exhaust. bolt-on mods are the only solution if you don't wanna get a turbo or s/c.

i also got a pulley on my car. u can feel the difference. it frees up hp.

having the full 3 pulley setup (nonstoptuning.com will hook you up) will give you the most gain. switching out your 3 pulleys (water pump pulley, alt. pulley, crank pulley) will free up a good amount of power.

hope this helps!

 

links to the best headers, intake , exhaust , etc and keep everything under 2k please, thanks guys, i know there are probably the answers on here, but i dont feel like looking around.

 

Agreed^ only bolt-on power i've noticed is from underdrive/ lightweight pulley. E/I/H only noticeable difference for me = sound.

 

^watch out, a lot of ppl get angry at ppl who dont search, i don't mind but it just tends to happen here. Now I search for an hour to make sure no one'll scream at me for posts that have already been done.

 

for best brand intake/ header's check this out https://www.scionlife.com/forums/scion-tc-1g-drivetrain-power-1637/gscmotorsports-com-scion-tc-header-test-results-34550/ search for nst kits then make a personal decision (listen on youtube) for best sounding exhaust as hp diff. isn't really noticeable. I have tanabe concept G tho real nice.

 

practically new 2007+ supercharger $1200 shipped
pm me if interested

 

yeah i agree with drew, i dont mind either tho lol. uhm there are a couple links already in this forum that say "buyers guide for intake/headers" blah blah blah. click on them!

 

would it come with EVERYTHING i would need to get it installed, how much hp, whp gain?

 

Yes it would be everything.
Cost about $500-$600 to install at a dealer or a reputable shop.
Power wise
around 200 whp. Some dynos very

 

40hp over stock, and your tq would go up by the same amount (25%) . If you get that from game-Over, he is a good friend of mine (in real life) , and your buying from a great person. I have the s/c setup and I think it is fine. A lot of people are not happy with "just" 40hp, but thats only the start of the game. You can get a smaller pulley, and add 2.5" or 3" exhaust, and get another 25hp EASY out of those. If you have a 07+, your going to have 161hp (stock) + 40 hp(s/c) + smaller pulley setup+intake+exhaust and have another 25hp. Should put you right at the 225ish mark. If you get his s/c setup for $1200, you can def get those other mods for about $800 for everything. Sounds like its in your budget!!

Id have to ask - what is your purpose? Do you want a quarter mile car? Auto cross? Or just more acceleration on the street? If you want a quarter car, you really should go turbo. I dont live my life "one quarter mile at a time" so the s/c works for me

 

well im open to that supercharger, but then i would have to spend 500-600 to get it installed. so i wouldnt have the money for the smaller pulley setup and he intake, and exhaust, and i also want to lower it, anyone have some used springs they wanna sell? and im just looking for more acceleration pretty much, not a 1/4 mile

 

bro, you dont need to do everything in the same day. Its a step by step process. Buy the charger, then get it installed the next month. Then the following month, get the pulley and exhaust or whatever. The main thing is getting the s/c, then getting it installed. Put all that other stuff on hold. Trust me, you will like your car WAY more with a bit more power. So do it in steps. Almost no one on here bought ALL their parts in one day. Some guys took years to get where they wanted to be.

In my opinion, dont worry about suspension and that stuff, until you get a bit of power. The car already handles OK from the factory. Yeah the springs, and bars, and shocks/struts help bigtime, but you will put a big smile on your face when you get that little rush of boost.

The S/c setup comes with some cool stuff, bigger injectors, youll re-flash your ECU (your cars computer) and a bunch of plumbing and hoses. Do some searching on here and youll find TONS of info on the s/c and turbo setups. The turbo is way more expensive than what was offered to you in this thread though.

Also if you have a credit card, you can charge your install, then make payments on it. Just bite the bullet and by that S/C from game-over. Like I said, I am running the same setup (have been for 3 years).

 

exactlly.. you do not need all the odds and ends right out the gate.
pick things up here and there..

bought all the extras over a 6 month span...

and if you want a drop.. tein h tecks are only like $200 new and you, your self can install them... i never did it before and i installed them in about 4 hours...

heres what my setup looks like now -

 

i love that car....

 

thanks bro id post up some exterior pics but I dont want to steal this guys thread. lol....

yours is a monster too!

 

do you guys really think the install would be 500-600 $

 

Yes. A local shop to us just installed the same exact set up 600 out the door.
Find your local shop or toyota dealer and get prices if you don't believe it.

At first I had mine installed for $800. But the Eco was good and shops charged a little more.
Like I said 2 weeks ago a local shop did it for $600 out the door. And I'm sure you can find a reputable place to do it for that price.

 

alright, ill let you know in about 2 weeks, i have to sell my truck first. and also, i take it that a stock tc motor can handle this fine right?
