looks like greddy got a turbo for the scion or what its listed on the bottom so we will see some one tell me if this is true or not

 

it's for the bB. it might not even work on your car, but if you have an extra $3k burning a hole in your pocket you could get it and find out.

 

It's interesting where their website doesn't list any phone #s to call for information. It seems like they prefer to communicate via email.

I personally wouldn't trust any company that doesn't post their contact phone #s on their website.

I did a lookup on www.racingworks.com and the admin's contact number is 407-302-1234 (lake mary, FL)... and guess what, you'll get a voice mail (at least I did).

 

its for the bb so i dont know how good it wood do for the xb i just saw it and i wanted to show you guys what i had seen BUt i wood want to wait for the one that comes out for the xb get a complete kit for the scion i just want some power out of the xb

 

I don't think it would be smog legal either

 

i dont think it wont be because its for the bb because its a bb from japan

 

isn't greddy making one for us here in the states? Does anyone know when it WILL be available to us. I want the whoosh noise already! :lol:

 

Last time I spoke to greddy, about a month ago, they some times next year. They were still testing turbos for spool time and what not. More than likely the turbo will be around the size of a 14b (factory 1g DSM). I want to guess that it'll be smaller than that. Personally I never liked greddy for the actual turbo kits, with the exception of the integra kits, and even that isn't the best for the money. You can always piece together a kit for CHEAP, but being that this car is so new, fabricating exhaust manifold and IC pipes isn't going to be cheap. Not to mention no one knows how the motor will respond to boost. But I'll tell you one thing. If greddy can make a turbo that spool decently and not let the car bog forever, and give us the ability to spank street mustangs.. I'll be all over it. Another thing I love about the greddy, (and what made me hate my DSM) is that it's street legal!!!

 

check out www.i-m-racing.com they are showing the greddy kit too!

 

That's been on their website since May or June. I called them and they said it's not available and won't be until God knows when...


Do you still have your 14b turbo. If yes, can I borrow it for a few days?

 

I think I just lost a few brain cells reading that...

 

Unfortunately, I don't. I can however get one for you, for around 100-150, BUT only if you're making a exhaust manifold for the xB, and of course your share that piece with me..

Seriously though, I can get you one if you need one.

 

Scionara, you are going to force me to make you a turbo manifold aren't you? Dam it, Its too hard(got money?) and it will take me forever(got a lot of money?) Well, I guess I can make you one (bring cash!) for you. :D

 

Me too! Me too! :D

 

Let me know where because I'm looking for one. Now I just need to figure out how to mod the wastegate to lower the PSI form 12 to 6 or 7 PSI.

PM or IM me.

 

come on, stylis, it's not that hard, especially for you. you can even modify the stock headers to work with a turbocharger. just have the exhaust flow into the turbo, and have the exhaust side of the turbo go to the stock exhaust piping. put a ram air intake into the ambient air inlet and put the outlet to an intercooler and then to the throttle body. or, if you are running really low boost, just run the outlet of the turbo right into the throttle body with no IC. see, it's easy.

 

lets see him build a turbo i want to see this it will be off the hook be one of the few with turbo in the xb

 

yeah right. in a couple years, all the hardcore guys right now will have turbos. watch.

 

yeah, man. I guess I can share a maniflod or two. Oh and don't ask if it is legal.

 

I had a GReddy turbo kit on my Miata. It really wasn't that bad. It took the stock 1.6l from 116 to a claimed 150hp, but since it wasn't intercooled, once the turbo heatsoaked power would drop to around 135. The plus side was that it was smog legal and could be easily upgraded.

It used a TD04-15G which could support 12-15psi if you added a decent intercooler, engine management, larger injectors and a better downpipe. It was well worth the $1100 I paid for it. If GReddy did a similar kit for the bB, I would consider it. For now I'll keep planning my 2ZZ swap. :)
