Default Nitto Tire 2008 Scion xB


Nitto Tire Scion xB

Nitto Tire has teamed up with Jotech Racing to build a turbo-charged 2008 Scion xB for this year's SEMA show. The Nitto Tire Scion xB is rolling on custom 20x11.5-inch 3-piece Modulare M2 wheels wrapped in Nitto Neo Gen 305/25/20 tires. The engine was fully built and turbo-charged by Jotech Racing, making over 400 horsepower. The Nitto Tire xB has a one-off wide body kit by 5 Axis. We followed Jotech Racing throughout the entire process and created video episodes of the build up.

Love it. Trade for a barely used kidney or my first born?

I really like the stance and the wheels. Nice to see 400hp. Any chance they plan on releasing the turbo kit?

I love everything about this car. It is clean in all aspects.

I love the headlights and tails, they would look good on a BSP.... anyone know if these will be released?

CORRECTION
the wide body is NOT from 5Axis

that is why at SEMA the small display stand next to the xB was taken down shortly after it was brought to Troy of 5Axis attention that his company was listed as building that kit.

Wow that looks amazing. I've heard the name Jotech for years since they are here in Dallas, not more than 15-20 miles from my house. I had no idea they were that big. Maybe I should take my xB2 to Kenny Tran and see what he can do.

That back hatch is C-L-E-A-N clean.

Very nice.

uberspeed hit the video link they posted up and they have 3 videos. In one of the videos Kenny Tran talks about many of the mods they did to the engine.

Wow the car looks awesome. The videos are great, as well. Big props to Kenny. I wonder how the xB rides with such wide tires. I have the NeoGen as well!

I saw it roX, but no numbers, dyno, details as to turbo used, etc. :-/

Good thing really, I HAVE to stay away from FI.

Nice to see Kenny Tran working on this car...he did amazing things with Hondas and his Supra, I'm sure he'll do us well with the XB

He said something in one of the videos about getting it on the dyno after they get home.

Maybe you should avoid this thread and the Jotech site.








Just looking out for your best interests and such.

The skirts are from 5 Axis which were modified to fit the wide body kit.

We're also waiting for a jumper harness from Dezod to use the AEM FIC for engine management. We will have this car dyno before too long. Keep you guys posted...

x 2 on that. The headlights look clean. Also are those LED's in the sides of the stock taillights? That looks better than the LED taillights currently offered.
