noob question

[keyfur14]

not experienced at all with cars, but for either the 08 or 07 tc, what would be some of the cheaper ways to increase horsepower

just throw some scenarios at me

-also what are the best places to get the parts(good websites?)

[navylife59]

I/H/E Intake/Exhaust/Header. Also, a lightweight crank pulley and quality synthetic oil.

[keyfur14]

and how much would that increase it collectively/ how much would that run me $$ wise

Do u want to go all motor or boost?

[carboncrazytc]

i would say if you dont wanna break the bank intake exhaust and a light weight crank pulley and headers if u really wanna go all out. prob looking at 275 for intake (injen) around 300-350 for headers. and exhaust cat back around 500 -600 brand new. and light weight crank pulley go (zpi) i think mine was 145. maybe around 30-35 whp on a good day. hope this helps

sorry really really new to cars.....boost?

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

By boost he is refering to either a turbo charger or a supercharger, I know very little about engines, someone else take this one.

[keyfur14]

how much more for a super/turbocharger

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

I'm not sure of an exact price but I do know that it is very expensive, I know the TRD supercharger is close to $2,000 but thats from the factory and turbos can get up in to that price range too. But like I said, someone with more experience should take this one.

[navylife59]

Cheapest turbo kit I have ever seen was like $2800.00. It has performance comparable to the TRD with a 9.5PSI pulley. Turbos have hidden costs with more frequent oil changes. Higher performance turbo kits have higher install costs plus most don't always come with the required e-manage and tuning.

[keyfur14]

i well then i guess thats out of the question for me

[carboncrazytc]

dont throw in the towell just yet. what yr is ur tc?

[keyfur14]

dont throw in the towell just yet. what yr is ur tc?

i havent gotten it yet, not tull december at the earliest

its gonna be 08 ro 07

[StreetracerJay]

Save up for a supercharger it will be worth it. Or you can just do all motor bolt on's. That alot cheaper.

[keyfur14]

which one will get the hp higher

super charger or upgrading the I/H/E

[StreetracerJay]

supercharger

[keyfur14]

ok i was just reading up on a review of tc with supercharger and it says that including installation it would run about 26k which is way out of my price range....unless i looked at the wrong thing is there any supercharger less expensive

[carboncrazytc]

mine was 3800 installed.

[carboncrazytc]

even with the at fit kit.

[keyfur14]

where did you get it?
