i have a 07 scion and have been considering a couple of things including forced induction but after a long talk with a well educated friend he convinced me i should just do all-motor since i want my car to last me in the long run. i have a couple of questions though:

1. whats the difference between the ptuning turboback exhaust and the s-back?
2.i plan to do port and polish; the only worthy pistons ive seen are the dezod ones, are they're better ones?
3.from what i know, when it comes to all motor aka n/a, the parts list and things to do goes as follow:

intake, headers, exhaust, pnp, bigger valves, pistons, ecu upgrade.

since im not a car genious, what else can i do. price is not a problem as i know car hobbies are a investment and i have saved up a good amount for this.

any help will be appreciated. btw are they're any true dynos that show pnp because i keep reading about the zpi thing but they dont have the dynos.

 

if you are going all motor, You don't need 3inch exhaust.
it is too wide for all motor.
i would recommend a 2.5inch exhaust from Dezod.

 

for all motor you should be doing 2.5" then i would do pistons, cams, rods (not really necessary) intake, exhaust, new head, and i would do standalone, but thats me

 

whats a standalone? and by new head...you mean port and polish?

 

ECU. the Greddy Emanage is a piggyback, which means it plugs in behind the stock computer. a standalone replaces the entire computer

 

would the unichip be a standalone replacement? also when i replace the camshafts should i do the cam gears aswell?

 

no. unichip is a piggyback. i think the only ones who make a standalone for us is AEM. yes replace the cam gears when you do the cam shafts

plus brian cower just came out with cams so better for you

 

the Hydra is also another option for standalone ecu!

 

don't know how much money you wanna spend, but if you wanna do things to be a lil different and have a all motor car that really lasts, you could sleeve the block and get the brian crower stroker kit. bumps ya up to a 2.6 L and you can choose whatever compression pistons you want, within a reasonable amount obiously lol. billet crank and choice of two different kinds of rods, etc. seems like a good kit for the money. if i had the money i would do it. but mainly just to be different. what everyone else has said would definitely be sufficient. i just like to do things a lil different then the norm. just throwin an idea out there. lol

 

drop lotsa money and get an ITB setup (individual throttle body).

And AEM & Hydra also make standalones for the tC

 

i doubt you would bee that much of a gain from a ITB

 

havent been able to find the aem or the hydra ecu on their websites. any ideas?

 

AEM is available through Dezod

thanks a bunch..

 

Anyone get the weapon r headers and the ptuning exhaust???

 

^ why? a 3" exhaust on n/a?

 

J.W Ptuning said they had 2 customers that got there exhaust that were n/a

 

supercharged yes but n/a is pointless

 

well thats dumb
