Ok. More updates on the housekeeping:

We are revamping the entire tC catalog for easier use, with MORE products and services. This has been cumbersome, but please bear with us while we get this done.

paul_dezod

Can't disclose information on the build. At least at this moment.

Right now, I can tell you that we have Chase's 08 TC undegoing some mods, the shop's 08 xB is being prepped for it's boosted days and our newest kitten an 06 tC 5 speed is off getting some much needed TLC before we bring this community to the dark side.

i would have waited till about a month before the kit will be released before saying anything about it...ur just gonna make people crazy

paul_dezod

tC section is close to done on transformation. Check it out let us know what you think!

paul_dezod

Nope.

chintastictc

y do i have a gut feeling its a top mounted twin scroll setup? idk just thinking of what hasnt been seen yet..

Temperz

no tea ;( I wanted to go boost but don't have the huge heap of cash to throw down on a kit so I was going to try a custom setup, and was wondering what components are needed for stage 0 so I can run like 6lbs and start from there.

scikotictc232

^ save the 6lb no intercooler set up. just save up and do it right the first time. you were probably planning on running untuned ?

Temperz

^ ya u can run untuned below 6lbs I think

paul_dezod

No true unless you want a blown motor.

You can not expect to add forced compressed air without adding fuel and adjusting spark accordingly.

Troys_tc

I do belive that you are very true when it comes to running a t-series turbo, but there are plenty of expamles of 16g and 20 g based turbo's running 6 or more pounds of boost with out any problems, I have had my kit set at 6 pounds on my 16g for 10,000 miles with no problems, other than blowing 2 manifold gaskets becasue being un-tuned does raise the E.G.t.'s tosometimes 1700+ degrees

paul_dezod

Examples of luck and nothing more. Other than 2 blown head gaskets.....That is from detonation my friend. That is the cause of 90% of blown motors if not more.

Troys_tc

Correction not head gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets are what I have blown

Temperz

if paul says I should tune I will tune. haha

vettereddie

Can I haz more 1NZ-FE stuff plz? head studs and a proper head and manifold gasket would be a great start. I know the xA / xB is out of production but there has to be some interest from the Yaris community.

Troys_tc

don't get me wrong paul knows this shi t, and I have alot of respect for what he says, because he preaches the truth, but I was just stating a fact that the smaller mitsu turbos that some members of the scion comunity run me included can be run at low boost "un-tunned", I belive that the zpi kits aren't the greatest, so I do have a 1 off 16g kit that I had made that fixes alot of problems the zpi kits have, including the fact the zpi kits and most other kits out there are not blow thru, which is great to have.

Paul quick question is this kit going to be blow thru??? because I am looking to get a bigger kit so I can do some real damageon the dyno with some big numbers

aen

i was on 5 pounds for about 20k miles with no management system at all

and i have a garret 60-1.

the ecu adjusts for us

paul_dezod

New kit will be standalone based for engine management, so MAF placement will be irrelevant.

rhythmnsmoke

That's more that luck. He's not the only one out there you know.
