no this isnt a release date thread more of some info

i saw one of these things on a tc at exposed this weekedn and it didnt impress me at all toyota had numbers posted on it and i took pics ill post them tonight when i get home it said

200hp
175ftlb tourq

at 7 psi (none adjustible) that meens they wont release any pully kits them self i guess

also i heared it when they loaded it back up on the trailer it sounded like a vacume lol just constant suction even at idel nothin i would want but i didnt get a video of that sorry

but like i said i will post pics once i get home tonight

 

7psi and it's only a 40HP/15Tq gain!!! They must have that thing tuned like ****. 7psi, that thing should be putting down 230whp on a stock ECU!

 

i think its more lik 2-3 psi then 7 hahah

 

yeah i know lol but i hope they are being conservitive as hell lol i didnt think s/c are that mutch more parasitic then turbos

 

Maybe the horsepower is at the wheels...but damn, a 30+HP parasitic loss from runnning the S/C?!

 

WOW! you are right that is insane. Still, I am talking it all with a grain of salt. When it is actually released is when I will make my decision.

 

i would to if i were you maybe there just under rating the hell out of it but only time will tell

 

compressor efficiency. charge temp, and tune could do that alone.

 

I wouldnt get it but cant say that til it comes out...

 

It can't be all that inefficient as the compressor is a turbo compressor hooked up to a s/c drive shaft. The charge temperature shouldn't be all that bad since it's an airbox that sits where the OEM airbox sits. Hopefully it's only the tune or else Votec has seriously failed on engineering a competitive unit.

 

I thought it was 5 psi?

 

actualy the pics i have had a cone filter sitting where the sensor sits now on the tc heat soak out the ___ hahaha


pics soon verry soon

 

If 200/175 turns out to be the real numbers, you could get more of a performance boost by removing the rear seat and spare tire.

 

I read an article about the tC S/C and it stated it was going to be at 5 psi.

It's also stated on the the tC description on this website

https://www.scionlife.com/scion/tc/

 

none of you are taking into effect that these numbers are advertised on a *STOCK MOTOR*, ie; no header, no exhaust, no timing, and probably on 91 octane...think about it. you all seem to be so one track minded on this whole s/c thing. i feel like i went from a world of tuning and intelligence to a world of impatience and ignorance. a majority of these posts on here are useless.

the way i look at this for a 3k plus install (becsoue the slip said that also) super charger i would expect better gains if i go out and buy a cobalt ss will out preforme this tc and in my opinion looks just as good (yesi have actualy driven one )



im still trying to get my lazy ___ up and go look for the data cable for my camera sorry lol

 

i understand you on that, but do you really think that 7psi in ANY motor (be it turbo, or supercharger) will only yeild you 12 ft lbs of torque? to the crank? believing that would be plain out ignorant. straight up DUMB if you will. i feel you on the 3k + install pricing as well, for the power, to me, not worth it at all, so why dont you give it another year, maybe 2, and wait for larger companies like greddy, and revhard to put there kit into mass production, and cost 1300 LESS than all of the other kits available right now, with all pieces included i might add. can you wait that long for some performance? its not like youre getting rid of your car tomorrow, are you?

i never had plans on the s/c i was just stating my opinion lol i wan to turbo one day but not any time soon im trying to open a buisness in a year i need to save

 

pictures....

 

What I was told at Scion Night II was that the Super Charger will produce 203crank HP and the supercharger was running exactly at 5.4 psi. I was also told within 2 months of less it will be released, but we all know how that story goes
