I see break_away is goin to be my scionlife NEMESIS

 

life is your nemesis LOL

what does all this bickering have to do with the supercharger anyways?

 

sigh again with a slight giggle...

what does anything have to do with the sc matty? its all he said she said....

people just like to start up threads like this to get the hype up even more, lol

and im a tard and reply to them threads.

 

a sucker for the suckers eh?

 

yeah, its an hour until I get off work. So what? Wanna fight about it?!

 

i ate burritoes for lunch now i have gas

 

i am indeed matty =\

atleast im not in denial i guess...

 

yeah i agree with that...with the tC having a 2.4L the s/c should produse more hp.....the way i see it the tC has a great oppertunity to expand compared to toher cars like cobalt ss s/c....in the end there is no replacement for displacement.

 

LOL. The first time I've heard someone say "there's no replacement for displacement" in reference to a 2.4L. You're correct, but the difference between our 2.4 and the 1.8 that is typical for 4 cyclinder Hondas is not even worth using that quote for. (5.7 vs. 1.8, now we're talking)

 

i think you may have missunderstood what i was refering to....basically i was talkin about the forced induction...a 2L engine has "less" room to work with than an engine with a 2.4L.....because the 2.4 has almost 400 cc'c extra to cram more air into...resulting being more boost to be added and more hp being the out come.

the trd s/c only has about6-7 PSI of boost, which sux because the 2.4L can handle way more boost, heck the cobalt only has a 2L but it has (i think) 14 PSI of boost....just imagin that much boost of a tC....it will produce alot of hp and trq

i wasn't even talkin about no 1.8L honda......

the only case that i kno of where the "no replacement for displacement" thing doesnt make sense is in a rotary engine...the RX-8 only has a 1.3L engine but yet it produces 238 hp, but the trq sux.
rotaries can handle alot of boost....my boi Jeff has an RX-7 that kickes out almost 500 hourses at the wheel....you can check out his RX-7 at www.t-emotion.com...just look around the site and you'll find his bright green RX-7....man i love rotaries, although i love my tC even more

 

anyone ever wonder if they are low balling the HP numbers

the mazdaspeed protege turbo was only listed at 170 HP i think it made lots more than that... HP numbers are often low balled for the tight wads that run insurance and such!

 

most of the tuner cars (boosted oem) are low balled

 

A critical component in your "but they can run more boost in a smaller engine,":
The 2.0L Ecotec that comes in the SC Cobalt SS was built to have that much boost in it, the 2.4L in your tC was not. If you replace the stock internals with some that can handle the heat then, boost on my man.

If TRD tried to put 12psi through the 2AZ-FE with stock internals they'd go bankrupt managing warranty claims.

 

make_shift: have you ever looked at the internals of the 2az-fe?

 

good call.

makeshift, they had it running at a higher psi (so i heard), but couldnt get it pass carb. our engines are strong bro.... it can handle 12 psi easy

 

intercooled with good tuning i could see 1 bar

 

ok after taking like a week they are finaly here sorry about the horibble wait but if you were realy waiting for these picks then i feel sorry for you and your boring ___ life lol





installed does not look as nice as i though it would








this is the display model some dumb ___ yelled at me for spinning the pull he said i was going to ____ up the s/c lol its self containd and a display so who the ____ cares if it doesnt have oil any ways it was made to be molested by children at car shows hahaha







and the info slip

 

hahaha as far as this goes call up any one running a zpi turbo and they will tell you how wrong you are about boosted 2az's lol

 

thats got to be lowballed power figures

 

I stand corrected. But there are obviously issues as far as CARB—and emissions in general—that are preventing more boost.
