the supercharger just came out - it has the power to put out 19psi --- this supercharger will overpower any setup for the tC. ...hands down....give it another year... people that have the tc are going to be more then happy w/ the mass amounts of parts for it. trust me. This car can only put out around 285hp w/o internal work done (safely). sure you can add more ...around 310hp but you will break something sooner or later. Anyway - to get back on topic --- im getting my exhaust and header done and then next year is supercharger time.

 

Yeah in thate states 127 is more than plenty. I wouldnt even take it over 100 here. But overseas it isnt uncommon to sit the cruise control at 130 and relax for a long trip. Its hard to explain but since everyone is going faster you will want to as well. I miss it over there so much

 

Got a link for that install page yet? I am curious if you can put this thing on without it tampering with any kind of seal that would void warranty.

 

I read on another topic in this site that the manual transmission tC is geared for a top speed at 138.89 and the auto tC is geared for 162.52. Here is the link.

It also says that the Corolla and Matrix XRS can do 185 mph

 

technically yeah... with a 100mph tail wind and a pagoni zonda pushing it from behind...

 

Unfortunately you cannot finance the S/C with the car. It has to be purchased separate.

Kenny was out at a funeral today. I'll see if I can get one up soon.

Unfortunately, you'll have to remove the "tamper" cap on the pulley bolt to get the bolt out, which holds the pulley on the blower shaft.

 

Couple videos added, see first post.

 

cool.

 

I have another video clip of the tach during one of the pulls, it was with the stock pulley. I'll try and get that one up later as well.

 

Hope you bought that Faze gauge as a "just for now" guage.

 

haha.. yea.. i was too excited when i got the sc put on that i wanted a boost gauge right away.. so i just ran to the local auto store and got it for 60 bucks

 

WHOOOA....$60 bucks! Are you going to return it after using it. Cause better boost gauges I've seen, go for cheaper than $60.

 

The install guide is up on our tech page @ http://www.zpiracing.net/tech.htm

 

Hey ZPI,
I was just wondering since your pulley increases boost to 9-10 psi. Is this safe to run non-intercooled? I thought anything over 7 psi will need an intercooler to work safely and efficiently.

 

I'm no S/C expect but I believe that since the S/C doesn't use extremely hot exhaust gas to turn the turbine, the whole unit doesn't get nearly as hot. So the S/C running at 9psi doesn't get nearly as hot as a turbo running the same boost. I could be wrong though, so don't jump down my back if I am ;)

 

did read pages 2-4 but i just wanted to add.

yah, theres a lot more power to be made. i'm surprised the thread starter doesnt already have a custom intake, aftermarket header, custom exhaust. its not that hard to get done. also, the stock reflash is still a conservative tune. i'm not sure about tc's but we need a standalone tc-based ecu tuning system. (not piggyback like apexi safc or some bull____) ie. rsx's have hondata kpro. with full control of engine management, u can get gobs of more power than any bolt-on will do.

is greddy emanage ultimate compatible with tc's? thats the only system i see that comes close to a standalone for us tc's.

i plan to get this TRD s/c, seeing so many people doubt the s/c's capability is pretty hard to comprehend. they seem as if they dont get the concept of the gains put out on the stock s/c with stock parts. +50gain w/ stock parts is pretty damn good even without a fine-tuned ecu.

i plan to go against my bro's boosted RSX (base auto) with this s/c. he's still working on it right now but we'll see who comes out on top.

 

The heat from the manifold on the turbo is not there on a SC, so you are right about that. The act of compressing air creates heat by itself, so will still get hot, along with the mechanical heat that is generated as well. So a SC will not get as hot... however, they still definitely can benefit from an intercooler.
