Cant' wait to get tuned at 10psi. I'm thinking at least 270whp with my s-pipe and axel back.
I'm thinking higher then that with tuning...
12psi?
No I mean higher then 270 WHP at 10 PSI. You'll be surpsrised how conservative the base tune is. You could probably get away with running 10 PSI with no adjustment its that rich. I'm not saying you should though. Any change in the pressure ratio should be tuned for. But I think you will see some excellent gains with tuning alone add on another 2 PSI and tune for that and you should have a VERY fast car. GRD is VERY experienced at tuning the Unichip too and have made some great numbers on Unichip equipped 350Zs.
I'm not seeing the credit this kit is due on this message board. Maybe I can help set things straight. imho this is the best all around kit out. Unfortunatly my opinion means squat here.

Better reviews It's the people that have install issues that are having problems. I know of at least 7 people that are getting 250+ to the wheels just bolting the Turbonetics kit on the car with an axle back exhaust system at 8psi .

This is the ni est page of any thread Ive ever seen. Its like seeing the grand canyon for the first time.

Rythmsmoke are u still on your stock clutch? Don't you love the smell of roasted clutch? I just hope I'm close enough to home so I can push it into my garage when she goes.

I just got back from getting my o2 bung welded. On wednesday I'll have it tuned at 10psi. I'm thiinking 280whp?

Then I'll leave some rubber at the great lakes raceway and get some time slips. Thinking 13s.

Naw..I had that taken care off all at the same time... So, no stockie clutch for us. I would have roasted it within the first week if it was stock...LOL. I would like to have some more Boosted tC's where I live. Right now, I'm the only one carving a notch for the Scion community in TN. Took out an RB20DET powered 240sx last night. He was running on 7lbs of boost. Also took out a Trail Blazer SS that night. I had no idea how quick those things are. 395hp at the crank is nothing to sneeze at, even if it weighs in like a small elephant.

Naw, didn't do the flywheel. We have the Clutchmasters Stage 1 in it. Holds the power just fine, and no slipping.

I might some day get a flywheel dropped in. You have to think about when you are launching while boosting, the needle will reach redline so fast in 1st and 2nd gear, that it's hard to know when to shift. And that's with the stock flywheel. With a lighter flywheel, it will take us twice as long to figure out how to launch the car. So, we are just getting use to finding the sweet spots in launching and driving a turboed tC. I think we have had it long enough now, and are ready to turn up the boost a tad.

I think the longevity of the engine and the rest of the car really depends on how you treat it in first gear. I use first gear to calmly spool the turbo then peacefully shread the tires through the rest of the gears.
