But be careful....... putting more than 10 Type R stickers may require to change you stock internals...( mmmmm maybe some low compresion pistons could help) ......otherwise you may blow your engine...... so you will only be able to run 8's like 2 or 3 times before you ruin your engine......


I wonder if there is a Type R controller from apexi.....

I'm a dealer, so I get the best information about sticker HP. This takes a bit of DIY know-how but the power increase is incredible.

Take one TRD sticker and one Type-R Sticker, cut the TRD sticker into 3 separate letters, then cut the type-R sticker into this: "T ype R" then take the T from TRD put in the "ype-R" and add the TRD's "D" at the end to make this:

TypeRD

The power increase that you get is amazing! The power comes from the Japanese underground street racers who combine Honda and Toyota stickers to create powerful hybrid monster cars! So this mod is obviously totally JDM! I was thinking about selling these stickers, so if ur interested, PM me, I'm thinking about $199.99 for this massive power increase

Balance is key here guys. If you have a CF fuel Door sticker, you must put another one on the opposite side. Yes, I know, there's no fuel door there, but trust me. This will fix your problem.

I just got off the phone with the guys over at Power Enterprises. Unfortunately, the bumper of the xB has been moved off-center by 12mm in order to facilitate better mileage, etc. This means that if you are going to put these stickers on you will need to have a custom bumper fabricated first. The stock bumper can only handle like 5 or 6 psi of boost before shattering! PE will be selling forged bumpers for $2,200 (front and rear). Production will start shortly.

A cheaper fix would be to use a 12 oz. weight under a DC Sports sticker directly in the center of the bumper. This will allow the bumper to handle at least 8 to 9 psi before it even begins to weaken. Remember. We are going for affordable here.

You have to be careful fooling around with stickers. If you put too many on, your vehicle could explode!

This is why I keep all my stickers in my glove compartment. I like it to be hush, hush
My xb is a sleeper.
