His 10spd Huffy mountain bike =)

 

maybe something that would help is if you drop what you're doing right now, stop what you're doing with the turbo, and go back to school. im just curious but did you fail english?

 

Periods, like this .

 

nah he drifts in his turbo powerd tricycle with plastic wheels

 

who cares about punctuation...spelling....grammar.....none of you are english teachers...

 

i care.. and it appears most of us care..

does that answer your question?

basic english skills really go a long way for most of us.. i actually finished high school and college!

 

Spelling, grammar, and punctuation, while not perfect, really make it easy to read ideas presented here on the board.

Imagine if your text books in school were written with poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation.


Back on subject....
You may be able to design your 200 hp 1ZZ (or whatever the engine code is for Toyota - they never make sense to me), but can you build reliability into it? Greddy, HKS, and all the others have well-educated mechanical engineers that not only look to implement more power into their designs, but they also test the reliabiltiy. You can't just slap parts together, you need to do research and developement over a period of time. They have the dynamometers and other testing equipment to test exactly what it is going on the engine.

What may work on your engine may not apply to other engines. Because these engines are built on assembly lines, the tolerances of each part may not be the same on every engine. Engineers at HKS, etc. take this into account.

I'm not saying you can't do it - in fact I'd like to see you succeed, but my main concern is reliabiltiy. Especially when you take into consideration that none of the xB's are out of warranty here (with the exceptions of people that have already managed to void the warranty or put 60,000 miles on the thing).

 

That crack don't smoke itself!~~~~~~scott

 

Again.

Nuff said.

 

So basically you will be spending roughly 7k on doing your turbo, fmic, total rebuild, etc...etc...for a measely 200hp

for 4k I could swap your engine and promise you 250hp in a month


where do you get your money for this?

 

on top of that, you need to learn how to type/write complete sentences. It's sometimes hard to read what you're trying to write.

 

sometimes? Try a majority of the time.

 

Oh yeah...totally forgot. And lets not leave out the hubcap spinners on that beast of a tricycle. :wink:

 

i blame my grammar and spelling on ADD. i think so damn fast that it comes out all messed up.

 

ok theres alot of questions to answer and im prob the nicest guy you can meet and it takes alot to mess with my head but. yeh i know what you all are saying about my typing but i aint used to wirting posts. i use aim or phone. but you all asked what i dift in and how i get money. and how im gonna make my car reliable.

ok im not saying its the best thing to do but my dads old neighborhood had dirt roads and we had a 1983 vw scirraco it kicked ___ we stripped it sense it was ____ and just messed with it i taught myself how to drive fast take turns speed so when i finally got a good car i wouldnt mess it up but i got my dad truck. it was a 94 s10 v6 262 180 horse it halled ___ for a first car. i did intake headers exaust 5 inch drop nitro active shicks to stiff it up. 50 245 series tires all around and a crazy crazy system for a s10 i had lot of time money in it then totalled it a week after i saw the xb at toyota. but knowing me and my crazy driving i started driving fast around corners at night then that wasnt enough then behind a chevy dealer theres about a 15 turn street that flow like an indy coarse in was fun as hell every night after work around 12 i would go out with my friends there and drift the rain was kinda scary cuz the roads got scary cuz there was like 1 1/2 foot pudlles on the side of road. but 2 of my friends have s10s and when we graduate he leaves to go to airforce and letting me put all my parts on it so ittl be like mine again.

but luckily im still in high scool last year class 04 its bout time just hope i past english lol not a susprise but i aced all math classes united states math award but C's or D's in english got a few B's no really to interested in moby dick im in the back reading super street or sport truck or texting friends

i live at home starting serving at durango steak house better than outback try it if you come to florida but my best friends mom is the general manager so ive been there sense i was 15 and i work 6 or 7 shifts a week turning at least 80 a night up to 100 and for no bills except cell phone and food and gas and car and insurance i still end up with lots of cash thanks god sense i like buying stuff for the xb


and for the engine reliablility i;m making it for my wants pretty much so if the bock or head of trany last a year or 2 i dont reallly care but i mean it should be a pretty nice xb after a lil engine work

i started port and polishing my 3hp briggs mini bike enige fabed a custom frame it goes like 35 can do wheelies down the road already burns out fun stuff


thanks for not so much negativity its actually not hell any more in a post lol

MUCH BETTER! i see paragraphs! :D

 

Dont mean to jump in so late in the thread. but with the size motor the scions have the ammount of restriction lost by removing the cat will not help performande enuf to make the effort worth wile. My other car is a PT Cruiser, and the back pressure at 2000rpm measured at the O2 sensor is not to exceed .5 psi for trouble shooting. Yes that is a half pound of pressure. A high flow cat will reduce it to almost non existant and be legal. With she scion motor about half the size the same can be achieved with a hi flow cat.

I have been round and round on this on other forums. But with todays technology in cats, the restriction is no longer there like they used to be. When they statred on cars every body had 302 or larger motor running a carb, and they just dropped a cat in the exhaust system. And yea it killed the motor with a can full of caramic beads. Now the cat is a integral part of the whole system of a car, and have advanced to the point thay can do the conversions they need to with very little restriction.

 

Am I the only one here who thinks this actually will work??

 

No, you're not. This CAN work. However, it's not really a question of whether it could work or not, it's a question of whether it is worth the time, money, and effort.

Chevy guys can extract 900+ horsepower out of their built 2.0 liter ecotec engines, so 200 hp out of a 1.5 liter can be done. However, the built ecotec cost a hell of a lot of money to build and the service intervals are TINY on it.


Now, what I'd like to see is for someone to swap in the MR2 motor with a turbo and the MR2's sequential manual (retuned so it actually shifts like a sequential :? ) into the xB or xA. Now that would be a pretty cool car.
