As the title states. altho im not just blowing smoke about a pretend built with a wish list.
I bought my car only a couple of months ago.not even looking for a tC I found this beautiful 06 Blitz Blue RS with the TRD Supercharger.
best part and the kicker on why I bought her was she was all stock and only had 13k miles and im now the second owner!
so lets jump right in...
started stock:


first mod I "had" to do was my ride height. we all know tC's come ready to rock climb. so....Raceland coilovers came into play. granted I was sketchy at first. but I love them!great ride and great customer service!



now with ride height out of the way I then needed something to keep me steady.torque damper. truly a amazing mod!


I know I've skipped a few things such as fog lights and painted rims. i've also tinted my tail lights.blacked the chrome grill and waterfall is now black. stickers everywere and think that's it that I havent taken a picture of?

heres a dull pic of the motor.


we all know the TRD Supercharger isint the best in power. but im up to the challenge. the wimpy 7 or so pounds of boring boost is nothing when it cant beat anything.
so thanx to NST and a bigger pulley were going to make more air! altho still debating 12.5-14lb still not sure. the highest I've seen someone do is 12.5lb.
so to make power you have to withstand power, so........
motor must come out to make improvements!


just some hardware...!






89mm pistons.



12lb pulley

forgot to take a picture of the 660cc injectors, spec stage 2 clutch and flywheel, walbro 255lb fuel pump, and crank pulley. also installed k&n intake, borla axel back,throttle body spacer,s/c grease fitting and heat wrapped s/c.

13K miles for a 2006? by looks of the piston, was the car not running? did you score a deal on it? nice work.

notchedS14

haha no. i paid $13k and im the second owner.long story short i blew the ring cause the oil catch can got pinched and wasn't releasing any pressure and it blew my valve cover gasket a trashed piston 3's ring. and then continued to drive the darn thing for another week....so it was dumping so much fuel it blacked em out.lol

how much power are you planning to get

notchedS14

would love 300.anything more and its a bonus. still need a header and s-pipe. and want a diff intake set up before I tune.

Finally, someone actually doing it right. This is outstanding. I think you'd be more happy with having done all of this work and have a turbo instead of a supercharger, but would also have to spend extra money.

Is it just me or are these Racelands significantly lower than any other ones I've ever seen? I mean, clearly the rear is tuck-tastic, but even the front. Usually these Racelands maxed out are just a step below S-Techs.

boost and oil pressure gauges for now..


halo's!

notchedS14

blacked out my headers and "WOW" they look amazing!

thank you. I had given up on this non responsive thread. I really wanted to go turbo. its all out better. but figured the s/c needed some love.
over all im very happy with the unit. runs great! no complaints at all! its just under powered out of the box.
ill prob always keep the s/c on there. next will be a actual header w/s-pipe. meth kit. and stage 2 cams. possible front mount cause I cant get enuff of the look.
im already boosting 15psi so loosing a rough 2-3psi for colder air and a cool custom front mount will be worth it I feel.
the racelands are deff my number ones right now.i went with them cause everyone that uses them love em and the ones that don't have them hate them. iv had megens and tiens and I love these the most! the way I look at it is your buying a name. like when you buy a k&n filter vs a spectra. they both do the same damn thing just one comes with bragging rights.lol
I know ill get flamed for saying that. but I understand that some things you really don't want to cheap out on but the coils I feel as if I didn't cheap out at all.
my only complaint I guess would be that they don't come with camber plates. but go very low and ride great even bottomed out with out collars!

Damn dude, this is crazy. Nice set up overall. How're the racelands doing? Shame they don't come with tophats. Thought about upgrading the wheels?

notchedS14

thank you. love the racelands! I wont get any other coils! but yeah I wish they had camber plates...
im looking fir some nice 17x8's but still looking for the right ones but at the right price.
