NIce tc man but i would g turbo...... I have a tc and did this mistake, bought supercharger. I had intalled for only three mouths then changed to a turbo, its way much hp gain. Turbo is turbo
Some of the comments on here are kinda wack. The worst was from a fellow tC owner which was sad to see. The TRD S/C tC is faster than most Turbo tC's. FACT. BUT there are a select few out there with some insane upgrades that the TRD S/C can't compete with.
i have a question for the tc supercharger owners. Can you really hear the supercharger whine ? from what i have heard from shitty youtube quality i can barely hear most of the trd superchargers (but again i dont know if they are just quiet or if youtube quality sucks) thanks
Yes and no. Its a pretty quiet ride. But when you are getting on it. Like really getting on it and the windows are down you can hear it. But the stock setting for a TRD S/C is only 6 psi. Swap that pulley and i promise you will hear it ;)
i thought the trd superchargers were designed with a tamper proof pulley so they could maintain the factory toyota warranty...i heard you need to get the the actual vortec supercharger ( TRD supercharger is just a rebadged vortec) to modify the pulley and boost. is there a way to modiefy the TRD?
@antivirus347, unless you work at toyota. and the tech that installed your kit "forgot" to put the tamper proof cover on lol. thats what one of the techs did on a service writers tc. put down 195whp with i/h/e underdrive pulley, and trd s/c on stock 7psi. he bought a 9.5 psi pulley. it doesnt seem like much, but it made a huge difference in throttle response. he put down 210whp. toyota will never know if it blows up. cuz they can just throw the stock one on, and put the tamper proof cover on.
why waste your time with a gay ass comment? you obviously know nothing about tC's. your just a same old guy that thinks its a "camry engine" well its not. they share the same block and engine code, but the internals are different. the Camry motor is done in the US and the tC's in Japan. hence the Camry output of 158hp @ 5700rpms with a 9:6 compression ratio and the tC's output 161hp @ 6000rpms with a 9:8 compression ratio. you can turbo a tC and beat a Evo all for a cheaper price.
@XxJxX1337 ha, no doubt.. besides AWD>FWD.. but to turbo a tC and just go to insane limits, puts people to shame, cuz they dont think a tC can do anything... but im more in favor of the EVO IX, closed deck vs. the new open deck... or semi open?? i dont remember.. but facts are facts, like you said.
BS? Look man, don't get bent out of shape. It's apparent you have no idea what a turbo tC looks like next to a S/C'ed tC. The video is concerning a Scion tC. I own a tC, I'm not talking about EVERY S/C'er on every other car. I'm speaking specifically Scion tC's only. If you want to see a video of a turbo tC next to a S/C'ed tC all you have to do is check out my vids. Or I can send you a direct link. How about that, I'll just send you the link.
You just said they don't all run off exhaust gases. Now your saying they all do? Which is it? I have yet to see a turbo that didn't run off exhaust gas, so I asked for you to tell me which ones.
i was answering someones question about superchargers and he asked if which superchargers run off the belt and i said they all do, i know turbos run off the exhaust gas, and i know s/c run off the belt im not a idiot
it been like a year since you posted this and yet to say where you put the BOV at would you cool enough to say it because i would like to do it as well it.
he hasn't had his tC for almost 6 months now. so im sure checking his youtube videos isn't high on his list of priorities. look on scionlife, someone just recently posted a DIY in regards to putting a BOV with his s/c.
depends. For a cold air to have a real change in the horsepower or anything performance wise, you would need to change several things along with it. In theory it lets you suck in more air from the bottom of the car where it would be (colder), but what use is there if your exhaust system restricts airflow, or if the headers do the same? see what i am saying?
If you plan on getting those things upgraded than I'd say yes. its worth it. Could add about 15 hp or more depending on the brand.
ok idiot here is ur problem. um if the airflow is all clear and free then where is all the torque? duh. if u like to go with njust lil mods go with cai strut bar sway bar and a exhaust.
Last time I put that on my mommies seinna van, I was walking to school. She thought it was a waste of money.Hey, I smoked every car and van on the streets, including a Ford Mustang 5.0L Ha!
ya man, its a centrifugal, i cant spell..., supercharger so its going to act just like a turbo charger. the reason why scion, or toyota, did this was because of the gas mileage of a super charger that was placed on the motor, it would just make the motor seem much bigger and more powerful then it really is, which means crappy gas mileage. so the centrifugal super charger works like a turbo it will spool up and thats when it really kicks in. so in a sense your not using a bunch of gas allthe time
I've got a couple of questions for you. Why did you decide to use a blow off valve as opposed to the standard bypass valve? Is there any kind of additional performance or were you just looking to get that cool BOV sound? Just curious because I'm getting ready to install a supercharger myself and would like to know what kind of BOV you used and if it gave any improvement.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the only reason he chose a bov is because he's a dumbass punk kid who thinks buying a shitty, overweight car that only makes 200HP with a forced induced 2.4 liter engine is cool.
what whould u suggest buying for around the same price as the tc? no seriously because i was thinking of getting one but i kinda dont because most ppl who drive them are kinda stupid looking, most, not all but that makes enough difference to make it a dilemma in a buying a new sports car for around 20k, what would u suggest.
you should come down here in miami where i live and iam telling you most ppl who drive them, again most not all, are retarded punk ass kids, iam not hating on the tc, its an excellent car for the price you are paying, but there retards ruining its image.
why would you not buy a car just because u think that some people you have seen driving them are goofy looking?? ur retarted u prolly look goofy in it too. if u love the car then buy it!!
you are definitly right, u love the car screw what other ppl think, but i like to be different and lets be honest, there are scion tc EVERYWHERE you see them on a daily basis, and i like i said i dont like to be like most ppl, iam thinking about the vw rabbit, 170hp natural and it weighs the same and it cost the same, what do u think?
dude dont get a volkswagon. they suck i know three people that bought volkswagons including my sister and it was constantly in the shop. stay away from volkswagons. and also people buy the scion because its economical and they only get it in the automatic version. i say buy the scion in manual its extremely fun!
i work for VW and that is totally true. 2 engines with 20,000km that are stuffed because of sand from castings clogged the oil filter and seized them. currently doing gearbox that has 45,000km which sounds like someone dropped metal pieces into the box. VW suck bad. dont try to tell me otherwise !!! i work or them !! ahaha
Whoever hates on tc's are either honda fags that think thast the fastest shit on earth and just plain ol dumbass ppls. What makes ppl that drive the tc look stupid. your right stonerboi ppls are stupid. stupid haters get a life.
@DiogoDC123 you'd be slower. my matrix rolls k20 SI's and S2000's all day. honda is so gay. get some money and and buy a real car. i know its hard for you to afford something besides those matchbox cars, but you'll feel better about yourself. oh and fyi, my TRD coilovershocks and supercharger cost more than an RSX. ;)
Usually an Eaton style roots supercharger has an integral bypass valve that releases some pressure so you're not forceing air back on the screws and causing wear and parasitic loss. But in this case its smart to use a BOV cuz you wouldnt want to burn out your bearings in the charger.
Why you gotta be calling people dolts. What happened to learning something new everyday? Just playin man. I honestly didnt know that s/c could have a bov though.
