It was all development so who knows... I know the promised dates were not met but alot of it was priorities of ZPI, problems they were having, and yes bad parts... It seems to be all straightened up now though.

Does anyone know what other car's injectors will fit into a XB motor?
I guess I will try to answer you since they have not been answering posts for a while....I think the stock injectors are about 270cc. The injectors that come with the ZPI kit, I believe is 380cc+. It may be 410cc. Yes, youll have to increase fuel and might need to retune for the 91 octane gas we have here in CA.
the injectors we used at 370cc... and yes we use 91 octane....

The 2 xBs that we did prior to the 04 we just did have been 06. There are some chassis and configuration differences in the two model years. We have to re do some of the mounts on the kit and get them polished. Above and beyond that the kit is solid and ready for sale. Below you find a list of the final products included in the kit this will be updated on the site shortly.


• T304 Polished stainless intercooler piping
• HKS SSQ BOV
• ZPIracing 26x12x3 Bar and Plate intercooler
• ZPIracing 4 ply silicon couplers
• Stainless Steel Breeze Hose Clamps
• MHI 14b turbo Charger
• ZPIracing 38mm Wastegate (.6 bar spring)
• ZPIracing T304 Stainless Turbo Feed pipe
• ZPIracing T304 Stainless Slip fit Down Pipe
• ZPIracing Air Filter
• ZPIracing MAF flange
• ZPIracing high Flow oil return pump
• Greddy Emanage with injector harness
• ZPIracing 4 ply silicon vacuum line
• All misc, fittings, bolts, brackets, etc

Introductory release price at 2999.99 orders will be accepted later today. There is approx a two week lead time at this time. All orders that a deposit had been accepted on will need to be paid and these will ship prior to all new orders shipping our pending timely payment.

I would personally like to thank all of you who continue to support us while we develop new innovative products for the Scion platforms. I think the 07 Scion Shootout will be a lot more fun with all the Boost Boxes running around..

Thanks

Alright im planning to save up for the ZPI stage 0 turbo for my tC. I've seen some clips with people having the stage 0 turbo. Also, I know that stage 0 doesn't need a intercooler right? But it is recommended to supply the turbo with more air. I was wondering is the psi set to 6 or can the psi go any higher? Once I decide to buy the turbo I would like to keep it at 6 psi, any way can that be set?

Give me the knowledge!!! : )

u do need an intercooler... it helps keep temps down.... on any turbo setup i would recommend using an fmic... just will look sick and keep temps down... why not the stage 1 kit?

I have a question for someone from zpi. Why the 14b? I know cost isnt a issue since the new 14b's arent much cheaper than say, a big 16g. which will not spool much later than a 14b, but will support about 100 more whp and have alot more topend punch? also, assuming you are using standard mitsu. flanged turbos from now-whenever, why not offer upgraded options, IE: Forcedperformances mitsu/garret hybrids?it will be a feasable option once people start using rods/pistons and want more than a "huge" 200whp at something in a more presentable boost level.

On that note, why not use a mitsu flange on the tc kits? (correct me if they are) the price options on, not only your behalf, but your customers, would be benafical. instead of using a random 50trim at 12psi to make 300hp, why not use a $580 evo3 16g and make the same power on 2psi more (if that) just curious.

Size, and spacing underneath the car. Not really sure. I know they said in the beginning why they chose the turbo they did. Its not like you could bolt on or order a 16g with the kit.

but physically the 16g/14b are the same size, they share the same compressor housing..... and since its a mhi 14b, you could bolt on a 16g.

Becasue driving around with the 16G to get full spool out of it you had to just floor it every where you went.. with the 14b you would be a fool spool at 2-2.2k.. Plain and simpe.. The 16G would be good for drag racing only on these crappy 1.5L or a heavily built,higher reving motor... where as the 14b was a better choice for the DDers of the world and the 1.5.

are you serious? you make it sound like the 16g is to a 14b what a 35r is to a 16g, if the 14b spools on a 1.5 @under 2500rpm, like you said, a standard 16g would spool by 3000rpm at the absoulute latest.

Beleive what you want ..from who you want.. my car was the R&D car for the kit.. and it had a 16G on it for 80% of the testing and you had to pretty much floor it all the time to get any real good use out of it.. Once they put the 14B on it was a night and day difference and was a better choice.. but hey put a 16G on a stock motor ,reving 6k and see for yourself how you like it..
