hey zpi is the kit a true bolt on kit because if it is i would wanted to save some money and instal it myself when the xa kit arrives

 

Yes it is a bolt on kit... It is not that hard to install... I have put car stereo in that was harder..

 

what about the part were the turbo connects to the exhaust manifold and the cat it just bolts right up and you dont have to cut pipe

 

Well mine you dont cause I have a direct connect turbo back exhaust... But yes I beleive you may have to cut the exhaust... but ZPI will be the best to answer this question.

 

CLUTCH goes in this weekend! so you can ship you can ship!!! ship ship ship away!

 

so is the kit (xb) 100% complete now?

I'm sorry fellas, I'm cursed w/ 56k and I don't know if zpi announced completion...

if so, is there a price?

saw teh cluth... looks baad. price on that =P

Introductory price of $2999 and yes I beleive it is done now....

 

I notice the kit claims to be for 05+ Scion xBs.......are there any major differences between 05 and up versus an 04 model, because my xB is an 04.

KiL

 

and also...

what are the specs on the kit? (results, requirements, etc.)

does zpi have any guys in cali (951) area to do installs?

thanks for the info pro.

fusionscion (Peter) has an 04 and he was the 3rd xB to be turboed with the ZPI setup.. I do beleive there were a few subtle changes in the under carraige... but nothing that a few changes wouldn't cure.. So you to can have a ZPI turbo setup..

 

Well as far as I know there are no dyno's other than ZPI's first ,back in June... But they are still estimating a 100% WHP increase with this kit and when they estimate.. they are usally pretty close.. if not dead on... I have not had the time nor the money to Dyno my Auto setup yet... Fusionscion, is getting retuned and the boost turned up this weekend. He then will have a new clutch installed and hopefully after the clutch breaks in he can get a dyno done.

As for requirements, not sure exactly what you mean by that... but some money and the need..the need for speed..

I'll let ZPI answer ..as to where good shops in Cali are..

If you guys have anymore question, please ask.. I will answer what I can and if I cant then I will pass it on to the ZPI crew..

 

yeah i have a question...when is it going to be shipped to me! yeah answer that mr. xB

 

Hmmmmm Let me check my crystal ball.....




It's say's you will receive your kit on the 12th...... the 12th of never... Smart@$$... I will tell you once again Nick, be pateint...pateince it is a virtue...

 

if i seroulsy getit the 12th of november...im not sure...i'd probably give you props in my sig for getting that one right.

patience is crap.

 

so when purchasing this kit...

what will one need for it to function properly and to its full potential? (add parts, etc)

how much is one looking to roughly spend?

sensez]

 

Well full potential can mean alot..atleast it does to me.. But I would say, new clutch, upgraded exhaust, boost guage, wideband A/F guage, and colder plugs... to start with...

So you can get all that from ZPI (they are still working on their 2.5" turbo back exhaust) for a rough estimate of $3600 - $3700

Now this does not include the install or a custom tune.. but you get the picture..

Now when I think of full potential.. I think pistons, rods, sleeves and P&P... but the above mentioned stuff will get you some great WHP...

 

Sensez...

You might try PM'ing "rollhard" to see if the shop he is at (Race Precision) would be willing to do the install.

 

and on top of all that. make sure you have the know how and knowelege (sp?) to know whats going on when you do a major modification such as a turbo..or have a really really close friend who does lol. THis will save you MANY headaches and MANY MANY dollars out of the wallet.

 

Great point Nick... knowledge is key.. understand how turbo's work and everything about your setup and kit..just incase you ever need to trouble shoot somthing..

 

yeah..i have seen many a turbo setups go bad because of lack of knowelge and lack of upkeep.
