sigh.... and yet another person who has NOT seen Max's build... You do realize that he is building N/A. Not to mention that he is sitting around 210 hp (est).

He also pretty much revived a dead engine...

Just because it's "cheaper" to turbo a car, doesn't mean that everyone should.

 

I realize that BUT most people who ask about that aren't building an N/A monster. Also even with a fully built motor the throttle body isn't going to be your weak point. It may cost you 5 hp at most. I had a fully built N/A 2v mustang. Everything was built. I looked into throttle bodies. I dyno'd with a 65 mm throttle body and a 75 mm throttle body and the larger throttle body cost me 6 hp. This is often the case with N/A applications. Throwing the largest number part at it can actually hurt the cause. Even with the biggest cams and the biggest manifold and the biggst stroker kit the weak point isn't going to be the slightly smaller throttle body and i still don't think it's worth 400 dollars.

 

truth, NA takes more work and isnt a weekend job

 

I still don't understand why someone would spend so much time and money on an NA SCION build. You spend 10 grand and net of about 270 rwph. Is it really worth it?

 

less likely to be caught in Cali, harder to notice under the hood, retains stock appearance plus if you boost later you net MORE power and keep engines alive

 

Uhhhh...... tC is front wheel drive, so how is it getting rear wheel hp? And its WHP, not WPH.

 

lol for 10k you could probably have RWD

 

Ha sorry. Im so used to saying Rwhp. Let me rephrase by saying Fwhp!!

 

either way ^this
stronger longer lasting motors
