He is talking 15psi with forged internal. That is very realistic. Not very cheap though.

You would need to send your OE pistons and rods to some one like CP pistons for a custom job.

You will also need to upgrade the fuel system. New pump and larger injectors.

Thats what I figured he was talking about, but still. I'm not trying to sound like a d-bag or anything but it just sounds too much like "Hey, I'm giving my car to random goon #5 to work on, what do I need to give them?"

Again, no offense to you Micro, or to the place you're taking it to cause they could have a good reputation, but it really sounds like you are just jumping further and further into "I need boost!" without doing any sound research into what you're going to need.

yah only option would be to send in your stock pieces and have them made but that will do us all a big favor so they can start to mass produce them : )

tell me why I didnt read the last couple of posts before I made my comment lol. just pistons alone that you buy online runs around 500bucks. imagine if you had to get the custom made?

kd_kidd's thesaurus:
custom made = expensive lol

but since he is probably the first to request them they may work with him as far as price goes... since the xd shares an engine with a few other cars.... so its benificial to them as well : )

CP Pistons
Wiseco
Crower
Arias

They all do custom jobs and supposing some one is providing the OE parts for them to measure it might give the first person a good deal.

im working on some sponsor ships, and well a few shops are talking about my car.. i think they may want my car so bad that i may get a free tune out of it, i have already sent emails to CP Pistons
And Bryan Crower Internals.

im just trying to find ways to make the xD faster even if im an experiment. if it blows at 12 psi (with a tune and aftermarket internals) then ill keep it low
but if i can run it at 8 stock and tuneless. im sure we can do more.
if not....
my friend has been trying to talk me into an engine swap...

but i really want to stick with the engine we have!

I still can't believe we can run 6-8 #'s without a tune...I still have my turbo, intercooler, blow off valve, oil cooler lines, etc. from when I was gonna go turbo sitting in my garage...Hmm

if that doesnt work.. start alil group buy who are interested. these are big companies your dealing with. so it wouldnt hurt to include other cars with our engines. (xd, vibe ect) maybe can start getting the ball rolling

xd kidd's 2 cents

im getting a tune in the next month or so. and something els will be going in my car after that.

then ill finish with the internals.

so far i have not heard anything back on the internals.. maybe someone els has already sent some in?

I much rather go supercharger if I had knowledge of what supercharger and who can retrofit it. I think theres a way we can retrofit a trd supercharger from a corolla.

I've heard that too... but I can't find any hard info on it. And i don't think it will bolt up to the 2zr-fe. Wasn't that chatger on the 1zz-??? before they changed engines accros the board?

The charger i'm looking at is a Power Enterprises Centerfugal. There are a couple guys running them on yaris equipment. looks like the only fab will be the mount to the belt side of the engine, of course piping and what not...

Chime in at will guys I'm a tuner not a specialist...

This is what i was looking into as well a supercharger would work nice on our engine a little more boost without the worry of blowin out the motor.
