need your guys' opinion

[silentscreams85]

well i hada question and i figured since the scion forums are generally quiet, id ask here. ok i just got my car, about 5 months ago, but im already lookin forward for mynext one, im lookin into the subaru wrx ( non sti one, due to lack of funds) so here it is: should i keep my tc and turbo it, keep my tc and supercharge it, trade in for wrx, or trade in for something else, obviously i wont be doin this for another 4 years but ya, nothing wrong with planning ahead.

How much power output does the SC give you on the Scion, and what about the trubo?

on a stock tc the sc makes output to 200hp..unsure of torque numbers, no idea on turbo, need to look for one first, but i want a tc specific one, not a universal

i thought TC's had 160 hp engines? either way i'd save up and turbo it

well id go with some kind of forced induction, i like superchargers myself, so guess which one i voted for? Adding a supercharger will give you a whole new car, trust me. Everything changes, your power band, you huge speed jump, even the class of cars you race will change. I dont think theirs anymore more fun than being in a 4 banger and beating a v8, the look is just priceless.

Supercharger all the way!

dont supercharge it thats why jayson z24 runs high 14's lol do up a nice greddy turbo

[Ace$nyper]

dump it get somthing else thats not a sports car its a entry level encon/lux car i've heard of someone who still ran a flat 15 with the S/C

WRX, as you get faster, you'll have traction issues. The rex is awd

yea they do. i meant w/ trd sc itll bump it up to 200

Don't get a WRX, they are everywhere, and a dime a dozen...if you supercharge your scion, you will have an extremely unique car that will take a lot of people off guard, considering that if you get the TRD supercharger, you should run times in the low to mid-14's....RobtypeR take your flaming BS to the honda forum which you probably love so much, we don't accept it here, unless it's between burntrice and dampachi, then it's okay.

Sell the TC, go buy yourself a Panda, and do it Redneck style . I'm sure he can teach you the ropes and what not. Late...

I said go WRX, but thats me.

Mazda B-series...lol
No but ummm, if insurance isnt an issue, FC. 3rd gen RX-7... RWD, 5 speed, round 210hp to the wheels stock (if they have a 13BTT). easily uped to mid 200's with simple modifications, ie open exaust, intake, boost controller. once you get much above 300whp you will want to ditch sequincials for a single turbo set up. the FC stock will wax your TC w/ s/c. less traction issues, lighter, along with way better handleing if you like the twisties.
or get you an old s13 and drop a JDM SR20DET in it and you iwll easily dyno 230-240 to the wheels with just a boost controller. add a lighter flywheel and fix your idle problem that is so common with these engies and lighter flywheels (as i have found out via ear) and you'll be sitting 260 to the wheels easy. s13+stock sr20=waxed s/c TC as well. 16k should have been spent on somehting better. they are nice chick cars, but other than that they blow like a cavilier.

you think a weak little 200hp engine in a 2900-3000 lb car will get you in the mid to low 14's? stop dreaming. that will give him the exact same power to weight ratio of a H22 powered 5 gen prelude. those are mid to 15 flat cars.

for that car to hit mid to low 14's he would need atleast 230-260hp.

gear ratio's play a large role in 1/4 mile times. ie i have 4.10's in my rear end. with factory 28" tires. a friend is soon to get new rims and tires for his tiburon, hoping that his bolt circle will fit mine, we are going to pu a 21" diamter tire on there. let the accelerating shifting out of 1st at 18mph begin.
