Well I ordered my silver streak tc today, and was asking about the s/c. The Scion manager told me that the s/c would be introduced at the sema show, and that the install includes a reflash of the ecu, new injectors, and crank pulley. The price no more that $3500

cornfield

when is the sema show?

JUMBO

He's absolutely correct. Did he mention the Stage 2 and 3 upgrades?

SEMA happens from November 2 to November 5 in Las Vegas. That's when it will hit market.

I love the ECU flash. No piggyback computer.

Yeah, stage 2 next spring. another reflash, intercooler claimed crank hp 260. Stage 3 sometime with internals, spring, valves, pistons, rods. No price or hp claims

Cybergypsy

not a bad price...but ok...

DuMa

i was hoping low 3g's

I have to admit when I heard about the stage 2 and 3 mods I started drooling. It's impressive how fast TRD is putting stuff out for the tC, they're usually slower than stop!

killerarl

Any price estimates on the stage 2 setup ... 260hp would be respectable for a car that size/weight!

cornfield

I think I'd be satisfied with 300hp and 3,500 for 50hp hardly sounds worth it. but hey that's just my opinion.

silverstreakersc

You haven't tuned cars much have you. Horsepower gains are $$ If you want cheap hp go Nitrous, but it is a little more risky

30% increase in power over base hp is a great deal for $3500

cornfield

dude I rather spend my 3500 on a turbo system then some overpriced supercharger putting out 50hp. at least with an after market turbo I'm sure I can get alot more hp. I know what horse power costs my friend and if you pay 3500 for 50hp then you obviously don't know jack and should stick to sound system upgrades.

silverstreakersc

The compression ratio is 9.6 to 1. A turbo needs lower compression to make huge hp numbers. But hey, go strap a turbo to your engine boost 20 psi and ping away.

cornfield

Whatever you say man. I feel no need to educate you. All I'm saying is that $3500 is a little steep for 50hp.

silverstreakersc

Granted $3500 is alot of money, but superchargers are more reliable, require less maintaince, and generate less heat. And as we all know, heat is hps enemy. I'm not saying that a turbo won't ultimately generate more hp per dollar, but they are a lot more headache, not to mention viod the powertrain warrenty. And please don't educate me, as a person who has owned a MR2 turbo I am well aware of the advantages, disadvantages, and physics involved

cornfield

you owned an mr2 so you think you're great LMAO. we own (present tense) two ferraris what exactly is your point? my freind super chargers require more maintanence then a turbo. you obviously don't know jack. And there are ways to combat the heat to make the set up as efficient as possible.

cars are like babies, even a retarded oaf can have one.

(not that im calling you a retard or anything).

bahamut_zero

If you think its price is too steep, don't buy it.

cornfield

If I feel it is I will not. originally I was just stating my opinion.

silverstreakersc

You know I tried to be civil but your obviously an a$$. Is this not your post? Sounds like you don't know dick about turbos or superchargers.

how long is a turbo or s/c supposed to last? is there a mileage limit on them or something does one last longer then the other? What maintainace do they need?

You must be a quick study if you learned all about turbos and superchargers since last friday, and I wont even touch the ferrari commet

cornfield

I had some simple questions because I wanted to be sure of the fundamentals, I never said I know everything but I do know what to expect. you stupid idiot. unlike you I don't go around talkingh about stuff I know nothing about. you owned an mr2 so you think you're a guru. I kinda feel sorry for you.

really sorry that you took it personally but you need to be made aware of your stupidity.

silverstreakersc

Where did I say anything about owning an mr2 made me an expert/guru I was stating a fact that I had one and I delt with a turbo on a regular basis. You are the one that turned this into a ____ing contest. So go drive your ferrari and shut the f##k up.


Regardless, I be the bigger man here and ignore anything else you say
