yeah one built motor for boost and one stocker for warranty work. lol. a buddy of mine is doing that same thing but cannot justify the high price for pistons and rods. so his project is on hold.

Most def for a manual trans. I'm thinking that because the Blitz hits right away (screw type rather then centrifugal) it might be a better choice for the automatic.

Why not? The PE doesn't start to really kick in till around 3200 RPM. With a manual you can rev it up a bit at standstill. Not with an automatic. I guess you could do neutral drops, but aside from that.... If what you are looking for is low end power then a screw type might make more sense.

can i see some sort of dyno? or 1/4 slip timesheet.

From my knowledge of boost and these motors 12 psi daily will kill it. i know i know only a 400 dollar motor but still a pain in the bum if it ever happens.

if i keep this motor i will run the p.e. s/c with header , custom cold air , full exhaust , and a nice bit of headwork. i think the motor with these mods can come up to about 160 or so whp. but just the header exhaust and s/c i highly doubt it having soo much power. i know it's alot faster than h.e.i. but still. i'm just one of the kinds of people that needs proof.

and the reason all the motors have blown was not lack of proper tuning it was the rod breaking near the wrist pin
really bro im just saying what i saw . it was 12 psi . if i didn't see it for my self I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT MY SELF. it was pretty scary . i thought foreshore that this motor couldn't take it . i am planning to run the p.e with a header myself with at most 8 psi . i wouldn't be abel to bring my self to 12 . i did give a thought to a motor swap i think the celica 2zz would do just fine in my box.

You need a lap top hooked up all the time for e-manage? lame . I dont need tuning that in depth. hell I'd have to add another 2k to my turbo price just to buy a lap topper.

so with a "stock" motor, I could slap on a intake, exsaust, and a supercharger and get the scion xb up to 175-180hp?

cause if thats the case, I would like to ask what just an intake, and exsaust would get me?
