The July issue of Super Street magazine gives a step-by-step overview of the Scion tC TRD Supercharger install.

What's interesting is they show pics of an HKS intake they fitted to it - and they state that it nets +5 hp on the dyno.

Max HP for their Mustang Dyno session was 185 whp if I'm reading the plot correctly.

 

Yea, I mentioned it in the HKS intake thread.

Heres a pic.

 

That company that is installing that S/C will also be installing a turbo kit on top of that. So dual charged tC.

 

Supercharged and Turbo charged? at the same time? Never heard about that

NOTE: That's what I understood when I read the post.

 

read about that intake too..wonder if they hacked the intake or something...

 

Ive seen a few dual charge systems. I think they usually use the supercharger to spool the turbo charger. Not positive tho.

Ohh and they only pulled 185 whp but on the stock car they only got 127 whp if I remember correctly.

 

Yeah, Dynos are all different. If you ask me, dyno manufacturers should all adhere to some kind of standard.

 

VW has made dual charged motors

Well, if someone finds a decent price on one, I'll be the sc'd guinea pig who buys one What the hell, it's only money!

 

Here's the article:



So yeah, turbo + super charged.

As far as the HKS intake goes, it could've been halfed CAI from some other car that just happens to fit the tC. Notice how it doesn't connect to the throttle body directly, but to the plastic pipe that used to be connected to the air box.

 

Wow, hope that works a lot, but obviously expensive as helI

 

My question is how much lag will there be?

 

I can see a dual charge being beneficial with an eaton type blower to help spool up the turbo. However, our centrifugal kits don't spool until higher in the band so I guess they might use a turbo to spool the s/c? Lol

 

Chaos!

 

I really don't think that's going to work but they might make me eat my words. If it has anything to do with superstreet though I won't hold my breath, lol

 

totally ^^

 

Hey well this months Modified Mag tried to tune with the CamCon and got "eh" results... then the mentioned that they are listening to the Scion forums and going to try a FMIC cause thats what "we" want....

Somebody stop them!!! Id rather see an Water/Air IC setup made..

 

I'm trying man! lol, well mine's made just needs installed
