I put a Power Enterprise PE300 on back in July of 04. They claim a 40% increase over stock. They dynoed their bB in Japan and it had 150 hp. It makes a huge difference over stock. I have had nothing to blow up in the xB yet. I am running 7 lbs of boost right now. I am going up to 11 lbs. As soon as a few pieces come in. I am going to the dyno when that is done. I am glad to see more supercharger coming out for the xB. And more people putting them on.

to safely boost over 7psi (daily) you will need rods. and of course better fuel. the pistons , crank , head , block and such will take more , you will also need a block guard , (good time to stroke)

I know the PE is centrifugal. How long does it take to "spool"? Have you noticed any lag (so to speak)?

dgHotLava

not really......
at least not yet....

dgHotLava

it does not 'spool' as it is belt driven....
you feel it around 3200 rpms though...

And I bet you know from boosting your Scion, don't you?

Leave things like that to be sorted out by the people that actually have the ***** to TRY it. All you are doing is scaring people with information you heard 3rd party. I've been boosting my car since August... I'm running around 8-9lbs daily on 93 octane.

It takes tuning, and it takes finesse and quite frankly It's a complete pain in the ___... but I did it successfully, and will continue to do it until it shoots a rod through the block, at which point I will replace the engine. Big deal -- a 400 dollar Echo engine and I'm back where I started.

Anyhow, have fun answering questions and addressing concerns that you have no direct knowledge of.

hotbox05

just wait till the rods break at the wrist pins. i understand that it's only another 400 to get another motor but in ca motors have to be the same model year or newer. and it's not about ***** , cuz no matter how much bosst or whatever these cars are damned slow , all i'm sharing is knowledge . If i had the money to get a f.i. kit i'd have one , but I don't I guess that just makes all that i've learned wrong eh?And I know 2nd hand , allblackxb was running with boost for awhile untill just recently , threw a rod. I'm not trying to scare anyone , all I'm doing is letting people know that nothing is a complete bolt on and nothing will be a simple ,easy, unlimited power source once installed.

at 7 psi daily how does the car feel? are you running a header ? i have been thinking about this kit for myself.

dgHotLava

at 11-12 it is a whip....
really need to ghange the final drive gears to use the power better.
running on the highway doing 80 @ 4000rpm with 5 psi just does not seem right....

hotbox05

hey dg i'm not hating but go to a shop and let them check your boost.. if you had 11-12 lbs of boost youd be at the 165 hp range. way fast youd be in the 13's.

Derk-xB

I haven't seen any E.T. s but I'd say no way on the 13s. That's just wishfull thinking. 14s? Perhaps

dgHotLava

it is 11.7 max boost...checked out with three different meters....
one with the blitz digital with peak hold....

xoBkcalb

so basically 12 psi thats gotta be nuts . i know you wont be in the tens but even a 14 something would be fun.

dgHotLava

yeah, the butt-o-meter says mid 14's....not to mention that i have a full a/v system and dynomated box.
i must have added 400 lbs (plus my fat bastard butt).
the extra weight hurts the little box....

hotbox05

dude if yer runnin 11.7 it will blow very quickly cuz people have blown it with less.

hotbox05

well i'm thinking high 13's cuz 145whp will be mid 14's .

dgHotLava

doubt it if you want, but i know what i've got...
no problems other than the clutch...

if people had problems, they don't know how to tune...
its been running 11-12 psi from the day i put it on. took two weeks to tune the fuel so it won't lean out and go 'boom', or be heavy.
