more than one supercharger?
 
Is there any company that makes a supercharger for the TC other than TRD? I know that HKS was in the process of making a rotrex supercharger for the tc. TRD is great and all but I know that there will be more power with these aftermarket superchargers. So do you guys know of any company out there that allready produced one or is in the process of one? Thanks

It is only a matter of time. TRD is the only one out right now, but just give it some time and you will see other kits as well :)

theres always a way

you could ask vortech if any other sc units uses identical bolt mounts then swap it to a better one

Well I dont know how but I was talking to a customer of mine and he was telling me about his 350Z then about his buddies TC and how he had the rotrex supercharger... Dont know if it as total BS or what, but it got me a little excited lol, then he told me it was pushing 400 horse.... so I have no idea but I know I want it!

400 horsepower in this car... do you understand how much it would cost to get ALL of the supporting mods to run something like that?

Yes, lots of money for the SC route, atleast im not the only one that sees this, but if hes tC has 400 HP, im sure someone on here would of heard of it by now.

People have pushed over 500hp.. but they found the weak points quickly. In any lower cost 4 banger (expecially FWD) you are looking at a lot of other mods quickly with those numbers.. not to mention one hard to drive car on the street!

On the tC at those numbers you are looking at clutch, axles, and a tranny after some time, not to mention to be smart about it you would want to sleeve and replace some of the internals.

engifineer 04-02-2006 04:46 AM

I would love to see a roots type charger come out for it.. but with the way everything is mounted that would be tough I think

terra_tC 04-02-2006 05:38 AM

agreed, it would be super tight if not impractical to mount a roots with the intake manif being in the back of the engine.

i heard a long time ago that RIPP mods was supposed to be developing something, but i havent heard that in many months.

mattieg 04-03-2006 12:21 AM

Well if anyone has some inside leaks or rumors about people making another supercharger you should post it here. Give us something to drool over.

zer0 04-03-2006 03:53 AM

RIPP Mods is a no go.


As of now, we have not looked into developing a supercharger for the scion tc. If we do decide to we will post it up on the boards.

Remember, creating a supercharger is something that takes a lot of time as well as a lot of money to develop. We create superchargers when we feel there is a high demand from a certain group of individuals that drive a certain vehicle.

mattieg 04-03-2006 05:32 AM

I like how it says "We create superchargers when we feel there is a high demand from a certain group of individuals that drive a certain vehicle." when there is ONE supercharger out there and people say how disappointed they are with the numbers for whatever reason. Hell the numbers that those guys get are awesome IMO. I just want some options when I choose my supercharger. Plus they can include the FMIC that everyone wants to get, a brand new computer (thats not just a reflash), maybe some braided fuel lines, a new fuel pump.... starting to sound good to me.

zer0 04-03-2006 05:37 AM

It will be interesting if HKS makes one. I dont know how they will make it fit..

TheQuietThings 04-03-2006 05:40 AM

here was the RIPP thread... wether or not they plan on releasing it ever lol...

^^ Doubt it.

I wish that a Roots type blower would fit, SC whine on a tC FTW!

trdsparks 04-03-2006 03:27 PM

I doubt anyone else is going to make a S/C for the tC. It really wouldn't make sence for them to make one to be honest. Especially when it could effect your warranty and cost more than the TRD S/C. It would be nice to see one though.

zer0 04-03-2006 03:28 PM

It would be nice if a company would actually make hardpipes for the TRD, and toss the rubber hose/pipes. I think RIPP would be able to do that with ease.
