i dont know about that im still verry sure this is the first time this engine has touched american soil if not its first time being in a car

becouse i know some of the rsx guys are ____ed that it makes good power sounds great and comes with a tranny with an lsd when the type s doesnt even have an lsd

 

Ummm...hate to burst everyone bubble but who gives a f*ck what kind of motor comes in it...go start up another thread on it if you would like and then we can see all the honda trolls give their .02

 

Back on topic

 

who are you calling a honda troll??? i have been an active usefull member of this forum for the past year and im also the only one who thought to take the picks for the ppl who care about this s/c so screw you


and now back on topic lol

 

I wasnt calling you a honda troll, I was saying that the minute you start up a post about honda, someone from a honda forum is gonna catch on then sign up on scionlife just to reply and talk sh*t about scions

 

look that TRD super charger is of simple design not worth the 3k at all, any company can make their own copying TRD and seriously hit BANK by selling it for 2,500 or so, OH and another thing is u guys theese are numbers of a stock tC with a Super charger THAT MEANS SAME OLE STOCK EXHAUST. if u think u got good gains from doin header/ exhaust upgrades, IMagine the gains from header exhaust uprades on a S/C tC

 

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to bring that up,

 

yea i imagine after the supercharger, a header, and exhaust, the tC will be a nice little power machine. But sucks cause that makes it like $20K+ But oh well...hehe.

 

the exhaust would restrict soo much air, i wouldnt be surprised at all if there would be a 30-40hp gain from changin our header, s-pipe, and exhaust because the air is being forced into the enine. if it is restrictive stock IMagine how hard its tryin to get those PSI's out the stock exhaust when its Boosted!

 

^ true, all we can do is wait and see

 

i went to the vortech website, and they do sell just the s/c compressor by itself. they also sell the compressor thats the next size up.. and they sell a smaller drive pulley (to create more boost). so my plan of attack would seem to be to buy my tc without the s/c, do all the motor mods first (intake, exhaust, etc), then buy the s/c kit from the scion dealer and have it installed. Then either send the ECU off to be reprogrammed, or have a Greddy eManage Ultimate installed to help the ecu keep up with the mods you made. THEN dyno it. If the numbers dont satisfy you, you can go to www.vortechsuperchargers.com, buy the next size compressor and have them switched.

if you want power, the engine should be prepared for the boost first.

Remember, the factory will put the s/c on the car, but they are gonna do so on a stock engine.. I saw the s/c kit in the. scion brochure i got from the dealership, and with the s/c kit comes an upgraded set of fuel injectors. but other than that, they are slappin the s/c on a stock motor.

Superchargers make the GREATEST difference when they are the LAST upgrade made

just one humble dudes opinion. oh, BTW, i am an ex sprint car motor builder. and no i'm not a kid..

great forum. keep up the good work.

 

Can't wait

 

just 2 things:

#1 the supercharger isnt a factory installed option, its a dealer installed one.

#2 you said do intake/ header mods first, well the S/C will replace the intake so there is no point in that part, unless you were also refering to throttle body and intake manifold...

 

i said i'd do the other stuff first. the go to the dealer to get the s/c kit, so point 1 doesnt apply. nd i was talking about the throttle body and intake manifold, so point 2 is correct.

 

oooops...,. i just saw where i made my mistake... i stand corrected.. the dealer will put the s/c kit on the car, but they will do so onnn a stock motior.

 

...yea im still feelin the 300 hp off a bolt up turbo kit for jus about the same money...sry guys
but then again the whole warrenty thing sounds nice...but by the time i get the money to buy that thing...i think my warrenty will jus about be up. unless if u could work the payment into the car payments...sort of refinance with the s/c...

oh and earlier in the thread some kid asked if he could turbo and S/C...wow go read import tunners or somethin...thats all i got to say

 

ASSHATS!!!! I brought that up on like the second page of this tread. And how come those numbers are so low? Isn't 7psi, 7psi whether its from a turbo or a supercharger???? I didnt know that air changed depending on what device it was being forced through. But I dont really know much about FI.
EDIT: Ok, maybe it was in one of the other 15,000 threads about this supercharger.
Yea, it was in this one https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...129&highlight=
OOPS

 

go talk to the mini guys there is a kit out for there cars and some company breifly visited these forums and spoke about that but i think its called a twin charger dont hold me to that
