My supercharged superwhite tC with TEIN basics and Konig Unknown *PICZ*

hahaha, yeah i would love to visit, but i wouldnt be able to put up with CARB, there are no limits to mods here in florida, at least theyre not enforced as strictly as cali, i bet it wont be long before they come up with FARB!!! hahaha

[SeeMyTC]

so with the supercharger it boost the car up to about 220 or so in horsepower??

[navylife59]

stock TRD S/C at 7PSI will get you about 200WHP. Up the boost to 9 PSI and you get about 220WHP. Change the exhaust and intake and ya can get another 10-15WHP. The Greddy Ultimate actually does not do much at all for performance gains at this point. It is just exta insurance from going too lean and smooth out the power band. The TRD maps are pretty darn accurate at getting usable power that is safe. Going above 9PSI will require some type of e-management.

[chicotunner07]

up to how much psi of boost can a trd supercharger produce?

[navylife59]

The TRD S/C is a V2 trim Vortech that can create 20PSI turning 50K RPM. So far, on the tC the most isa NST 14.5PI pulley. This is due to pulley size limitations. Of course, this is at 6.2K RPM so if you up the redline you up the PSI.

oh i c, so is it safe to turn the boost up on the trd supercharger to 14.5, or do u need new items, like engine management and fuelinjectors and thar sort of stuff?

[Touge_tC]

I think you would need some new engine management components at that point... you don't wanna blow something.. even if it's just a hose.

[navylife59]

You HAVE to run an emanage of some sort an bigger injectors like 550CC. Kenny said that my car was just wanting more and more fuel just at 9PSI. Don't try it without the ability to have it tuned by a pro.

sounds good, by the time i have the money to spend on a turbo, ill know all the ups and downs of goin to boost on a tC, so i wont make any mistakes, i cant afford mistakes!

[SilverKnight]

I'm just going to go with the S/C also... Maybe the WeaponR too... That's gonna fix my craving to stomp on my buddy who owns an '02 Z3!!

if you can't afford mistakes, you shouldn't go turbo. I'll have my MMW supercharger intake on later today. I'll install it after my Scion sales meeting

[chicotunner07]

well i plan to do everything right the first time, with proffessional installation, on safe boost, 9psi the most, so i wont have to worry!!

[navylife59]

chico... If your going turbo, only get a kit that has some sort of piggyback. There are some kits out there that don't offer any emanage. These low boost setups may work "Safe" but what happens when you eventually crank up the boost? There goes your motor.

[chicotunner07]

yeah i know, im definitely goin with the Greddy turbo kit, with the Emanage Ultimate with 440cc injectors, comes around 3500 for everything! thanx

[Touge_tC]

That's the one I was thinking about... but everyone keeps telling me it's a waste of my money and time and to just go with a s/c. So, I don't know yet. But, good luck man!

[chicotunner07]

thanx, a turbo is never a waste of time!!!

[Touge_tC]

Of course it isn't!! Esp. not with warning decals like this one. I like the ones that require the passenger to remove articles of clothing.. haha.


Scroll towards the bottom of this page to see the stickers.
