Hey everyone, I just want to let you know that my Scion TC is getting some work done!! I just dropped it off at Toyomoto for a turbo kit. For those of you who don’t know about Toyomoto, Toyomoto is a very well known performance shop located in Miami. They usually work on high performance Supras and Lexus's. Lance, the owner, is personally involved in the development of a full-blown turbo kit for the Scion TC and he is using my TC as a Guinea pig. He will be developing 2, maybe 3 different turbo kits for the TC. He is in the process of building 2 different exhaust manifolds and has 2 different turbos which he can test. He has a custom made high performance clutch and disk, front mount intercooler, 2 different computers including a Haltec, limited slip differential, external wastages, bigger injectors, uummm that is all I can remember now, but I will keep all of you posted as it progresses. I have no doubt in my mind that it will be a great kit, everything Toyomoto does is of high quality. I will get a dyno sheet to test before and after the turbo installation so we can compare. I have the utmost confidence in Toyomoto and know they will have a great product for everyone.

 

Good stuff..keep us updated

 

Where in Miami? I work in Hialeah.

Thats awesome. I drove down to Toyomoto from Detroit ot get my shift kit, etc installed on my IS300. Lance is friggin awesome. Very smart. It was hot as hell. I'd suggest going there, because while he works, you can check out the sights on south beach

 

Sounds good so far but I'm really curious as to how well the custom built clutches hold up. I've dealt with those in the past and they SHATTERED almost instantly with some track abuse. Hopefully he has a different build quality and uses higher quality material.

Also, being part of Dezod.com, we are in the development of also producing a 2 stage turbo kit for the tC. We will start out scouting and building next week. Look for updates in the future.

 

Does he need any more tCs?

 

rcruz2525, is the lance you are talking about "Lobux" of yourscionTC?

 

Asluggerr3b, don’t really know if he needs more tcs but will ask on Monday.
bodjie, I don’t think so, Lance from Toyomoto.. www.toyomoto.com
This site is not 1/3 of what Toyomoto does but you can get his address, phone, and e-mail address.
I will try to get some pictures on Monday!!

 

keep us updated

 

when does he expect to have your car finished?

 

Well, it all depends, there is 2 different exhaust manifolds available. One off them is already made, if I pick that one it will be ready in about 2 to 3 weeks. If I pick the other one it will probable take about 6 weeks. I’m just guessing, it may be sooner than that. I will keep all of you posted.

 

yea just get us some pics when it's done

 

use greddy type S (or RS) for a BOV, recirc it, and dump your wastegate into your exhaust.

I want to see how quiet that would be LOL

 

This will be the products to be tested on the Scion TC from Toyomoto.,

 

when does all of it get installed?

 

dear GOD what kind of pressure drop do you get from the intercooler?

 

All we are waiting for is the exhaust manifold to arrive. It should be here in about 2 weeks and the kit should be installed in a couple of days after that. It should be ready for the beginning or mid of next month if everything goes well. I will keep posting as things go on….

 

what boost levels are you planning? why did you get a .70 AR?

 

The larger the core does not mean a pressure drop. For example, the core than John Shepherd ran last season has less has less than 0.5psi drop and is lowering intake temps to near ambient levels.

Also, the aspect ratio on a turbo does not affect spool as much as you might imagine. Our 2L's are spooling 1.06 a/r T4 housings, which would be like a 1.3x T3 housing for comparison. Spooling is a driver issue, not a turbo issue.
