I just don't understand though. Why the scion xa/xb engines? Why are they so weak. I've seen plenty of civics w/ 1.8l with 250whp+ with stock internals which pull about 120whp stock. Scionspeed is running at like 13psi getting over 300whp on a tc when stock is 140whp on stock internals. I just don't understand.

It's stupid. My neighbor has a completely stock crx with b16 + turbo and has run 11lbs daily for over a year now and hasn't had a problem.

A honda engine in a Scion sounds mighty good around now

*ahem* Sorry. I still wonder what Paul's xA ran on the 1/4 mile...

Sounds like someone was given a pinky at birth that didn't grow up. I feel sorry for you bro

. Here is the PM from E.L.P

Hello,

We setting the dead line for Feb 28th. Were waiting on the final price on the turbo if we buy it in bulk. They come from the UK so we have to figure out the unit pricing. Also, waiting on bulk pricing from Sperco on the intercooler. If we can get the pricing we want, this turbo kit will be rather inexpensive. Manifolds and piping are in production now. Hang tight, its coming.

Thank You,
ELP

hmmm its now the 28th and it seems that their page is not even up

What i dont understand is toyota was hyping the scion as being a tuner and then they stick a weak engine in them. I guess they just wanted our money. Where is the trd turbo/supercharger that was supposed to be coming out shortly after the scion hit nationwide. This is bull they should give us all new motors that can handle boost

imo whoever at toyota said "lets market this thing as a tuner car" was a genius... 'lets encourage ppl to "tune" their cars and void their warranties' - once that happens, they have nothing to do w/ us and we're on our own. Pretty slick business. anywho...
when's this turbocharger coming out? i need to blow up my engine asap.
