im thinking about throwing on trd supercharger this spring i have a 07 automatic tc which everyone knows is slow but so im just looking for some opinions in if it will even be worth it or what?

 

No. Turbo or ur slow.

 

In all honesty... it dosent look like the 3k for a SC on an auto is worth it in the least... Only thing good about it is the warranty, but past that there are numerous people on these boards with issues on there SC's and some are on there 2nd and possibly 3rd SC's... I say wait it out and go with a turbo setup..it will net you way more whp for the money and possibly ways less issues.

 

if you want some extra power with warranty then yes the supercharger is the way to go. However, if you're not so big on warranty then the zpi stage 0 turbo is more powerful and a little cheaper (even if you do it right with a tranny cooler and engine management). Either way, just be sure to do regular maintenance and you will be happy. I'm personally going turbo with my '06 a/t because the thought of uninterrupted hp and tq just makes my day.

 

anyone know what i would run on the quarter mile with supercharger...low 15 or high 14? i like my automatic cuase everyone says stick gets anooying so i dunno i figured if i had a fast automatic i would be happy and im not just going to get the supercharger lots of other engine mods thats just the first

 

my friend Mike raced an RSX-S, which pulls around a 15.0 flat in the 1/4th mile, he also lost to it in his auto SC tC by 2 car lengths.

I would figure youre going to run between a 15.1-15.4

 

after you get the supercharger, take a look at www.forcefedracing.com. they have upgrades for the supercharger by tuning it with a unichip, and boosting the psi with smaller pulley's. if you do it, let me know how it works out, i'm still losing sleep over whether or not to turbo or super charge my 5 spd.

 

Ok scion 07 it all depends on your goal with the car? What do you want out of it?

 

i thought the s/c's won't fit the 07s? Am i wrong???

 

hopefully TRD will be releasing a SC kit to fit the 07's. There are rumors floating around that it will be out by Christmas. But knowing TRD, it will be released when the tC is discontinued.

 

oh yeah, forgot about that. btw, why doesn't it fit the 07? what is the major change?

 

ya im looking for car to be quick when someone rolls up i want them to look at my car and think its a slow 4 cylinder then blow em away i will be abe to beat most cars around here im just living in a random city in ohio most cars only run mid 14s and for the supercharger fitting on 07 im sure it will be out by spring and thats when im looking to throw it in there but not sure if i should.....anyone know how much it would cost to change it up to a 5 speed just the stock tranny my dad bought the car without me having much choice so i got the automatic sucks for me i guess then again i kinda think i might get tired of stick after driving it for a while

 

driving stick is great, makes you stay involved in driving and keeps your mind from wandering, you can get pretty absent minded if all you do is pump two pedals.

 

damn homie sounds like u got some cash, just go turbo trust me!

 

ya thats what my bro says i agree im thinking that would be better i dont know for sure tho i could just save all this money up and get a evo or sti when i graduate high school in a year and a half or w.e just dont know i mean driving this slow car around for another 2 years...?

 

lol, its good that you are 16 and have a slow car. trust me, fast + young = dangerous

 

u poorpoor thing for getting a brand new car while still in HS

 

oh mannn.... come to my school and you just might faint...

you arent a "poorpoor thing" if you get a new car over here... in fact, most kids here get new cars worth more than $30k... lol... g35's are like civics in the school lot

 

Research before you buy the TRD S/C and listen to the people that have it. With that being said, I say NOOOOOO

 

Turbo please!
