That was just a random number I picked, but it wouldn't suprise me for a shop to charge around that amount to do the install. The kit isn't hard to install if you have the right tools. The most important one being a lift as there is allot of work that needs to be done from underneath the car.

If you are doing the work yourself, then the real question is..... do you want to be doing the amount of work needed everytime you have to do smog?

 

thats the main thing i was wondering myself so thats why i was asking how hard it would be to do. thanks for all the info and though i wont have the money in a lopng time itd be sweet to have tyour kit. but my mom owns property in new mexico and if she puts a building on it we can register the car through their and i dont have to worry about smog, hahaha. but agian thanks for the info. the only thing i wouldnt be able to do the tune. i love workin on cars, i also have a 60 ranchero that im restoring and i love every minute so the work probably wouldnt bug me.

 

you can have someone hook up a laptop to your engine management and tune it while driving it

 

Especially when using emanage. Tuning on the street is way better than a dyno. The only thing you don't get is a hp number.

 

i dont care about about the horsepower as long as it runs fine. i have a laptop, is their a special program ill need, and wires? will it connoct to the emanage or the ecu itself? and for a f/i noob like me what emange do you suggest? thanks for all the help and info guys, and sorry to kinda jack your thread.

 

there should be a support tool to hook up to the labtop and the emanage if im not mistaking.......it should connect to the emanage

 

dude if u live in cali don't get a non carb kit unless u like taking it off for smog as well as taking it off then referee ing it any time you get your hood popped.

 

ok how about this mod to the block......a block guard

 

if i buy your manifold, and some other things but get my own turbo, piping, and intercooler, would you maybe tell me if im hookin things up right if i pm you details on what im makin/ im not gunna be producing anything, just a personnal kit, becuase i personally dont like how the intercooler is setup. this will be awhile away tho lol.

 

Personally I am not a fan of block guards. They aren't normally installed correctly and can put more pressure on the cylinder walls than the boost you are adding to them. Plus under high temps, they expand at a different rate than the block, and can cause the issue they were designed to prevent.
How much power do you plan on making?
The stock block will handle quite a bit of power. Rods and pistons will 90% of the time handle most peoples needs with our motors.

Yes, I would help you or anyone who has questions regarding installation of my parts or anyone elses. My main goal is to help the SCION community learn and evolve.

I get allot of requests like yours and its not a problem.

300whp I would like to make, which I think is realistic, but 400whp is my true goal. What do you think? I think it was ZPI that I talked to that said they were aiming for 400whp, idk.

 

300 is going to be much easier than 400. I have a few customers right now that are shooting for 400whp as well.

The 300 whp goal can be achieved with rods/pistons, a GT2871R or something similar, upgraded valvetrain and a full stand alone ECU (AEM EMS).

Shooting for the 400 mark is going to take a lot more work. Good headwork, maybe even a change in cams and a good intake manifold. But only time will tell as we haven't seen the limits on the amount of air the motor can flow.

 

Word.

 

300 or 400 hp on this motor is a reliability timebomb. yeah 300 or 400 horse , for like a month.....

forget daily...

 

Everyone says that about every 4cyl. If little honda motors can take 300 daily easily, so can our toyota motor. Haters..

 

Please elaborate a bit more please....I am very curious as why you would think so. Plus it could lead to some interesting discussion.

our motors are nowere near as good as onduhs in the high hp daily driven area. 300 hp on a b16 or b18 is still daily , as in it isn't near it's max hp output.

whereas i'd be pretty damned sure that 300 or 400 hp will be just about THE limit for the 1nzfe

 

no ating. and nowere ave I said that about every 4 cylinder.

1zz can maintain about 300 daily , 3sgte can do almost 600 daily , 4ag can do like 300-400 daily , most honduhs can do 300+hp daily. many , many , many to list.

theres also a ton that CANNOT.

 

left out 3 h's there

 

yeah my "h" key is a little messed up i have to hit it hard and slow or it doesnt work at all. but thanks.... or something. lol
