The Nitto Jotech Scion TC

[Alex8181]

Here is a picture of a beautiful Scion TC built by Kenny Tran and the Jotech team. If you visit their website they have galleries and information on the buildup of the TC. Very good stuff at their website www.nittosciontc.com.

That color is hot. Whats in it a turbo ?

[BoostedTC]

Turbo'd up to 500 horses I believe. Def one of the slickest I've seen.

[trino_nino]

[K20si]

I am feeling the color but I dont really like the chrome it takes away the racing look

I would have to disagee I think that color is hot and the chrome dosen't look horrible but a Powder coat rim or something a bit more racing would look decent as well but for a show tc I think it looks good

[scion1988]

i like the way they did the car. one of the better one's i've seen.

[jmitch8011]

sorry but i like the racing look and I like the show off look. Honestly, I don't care how it looks as long as it's hot and i have 500 hp ...i'm good.

I went to their website and I couldn't see the process how they took out the orange off the corner on the headlights. It looks real sweet, I want to get mine done.

I will post my pictures up later when I get home from work. I took quite a few yesterday with my gf next to it.

Thats because they didn't take out the orange part. They got the headlight replacements from www.clearcorners.com. Here is the link:

i live over here by jotech and i have seen this tc upclose and personal
it's gorgeous.

Hey hanabannanna, I am from G-Town myself. Went to GHS.

I wonder how long will those LED halos hold up to the heat? Buy those and ya def need headlamp overlays like from Xpel Technologies to protect those babies from road debris.

[hanabannanna]

weeeeeell thank ya
im actually from mo-skeet hehe. but yeah, jotech does all the work on my boyfriend's car, and they put my springs on mine for me.
i recently got into mod-ing cars, but since mine is an auto ((boo)) there's not toooooo much that i really wanna do to it.

Check out ZPI www.zpiracing.net

They have an auto rebuild kit that will make the soggy dog bark like a champ! AFAIK, they are the only ones to have done anything for the autos.

Have you ever got a chance to drive a stick tC? It is like night and day.

[hanabannanna]

actually no
i have only driven a stick rsx type s....
and i didnt even technically get to drive it.
i dont know how to drive stick yet.
but it looks like soooooooo much more fun.

[navylife59]

Kewl till ya hit traffic. Let me tell ya though. Pulling 3rd gear under boost gett'n on tha hwy is a blast. Take that puppy all tha way past 80MPH. You should really go test drive one. The clutch is not all that much of a prob unless your a complete newbie.

Guess who is going to get their tC dyno-tune by the bad boys at Jotech, me!

I have a slot time of 1200 this Monday. Now it is time to see what real power the TRD can make with a few mods. Anyone care to take a guess?

[chicotunner07]

i say 210-230, what do i get if i win? hahaha

[navylife59]

A free sticker. It maxed out to 228.4whp 190.8tq. Just a lil shy of where I thought that she would be. I came in there with an upfront baseline on the 1st pull at 217.9hp. That was a cooler motor and running very lean. Even lean like that, the factory computer kept the motor safe and making power. Of course the ECM was dialing it back so that 217whp in real world terms dropped back a bit. Now I have 228.4whp (or is it 228.4khp?) that I can consistently rely on running 93 octane pump gas and still be able to cruise on 89 octane. This is not an aggressive tune with only 1 degree of timing. When we went to 2 degrees we dropped in power.

When I get back from overseas in early April, Kenny is going to work up a full custom exhaust, helping me design and build my RAM air induction and tune for 14.5PSI. Look for a fully built motor real soon that will push the TRD to the limits.

By the way, that is Kenny Tran himself doing the tuning!
