0-60 on TRD Supercharger
Just got my 06 Nautical Blue about 5 months ago and I am seriously considering purchasing the TRD Supercharger. My question is, if I am running all stock except for maybe TRD exhaust and the supercharger what are my 0-60 and quarter times going to look like. What are your opinions on this setup? I want to go ALL TRD

I have a Beltronics Vector accelerometer. These are not 100% accurate but they seem to work pretty well. When my 05 tC was bone stock, I was consistently getting 0-60 in 7.5 and 1320 in 15.5 - 15.8. This is right on the money compared to magazine tests and what some scionlife members have recorded at the strip. I say this to validate the times I got w/ the supercharger. With the supercharger, my only other mods were springs, rear sway bar and 18" wheels w/ Parada Spec 2 tires. Nothing else that adds power. I recorded 0-60 times consistently between 6.3 and 6.5 seconds and 1320 times between 14.7 - 14.85 seconds.

thank you, definitely sounds accurate. did you read that lame article on edmunds about our S/C and its bogus runs?
Anyway, those accelerometers are pretty good, not track good but thanks anyways.

Yeah, 6.5 sounds reasonable for a TRD supercharged tC. Throw an NST supercharger pulley on it and you can probably shave that down a bit.
Good call on all the TRD parts. You will end up paying more for the stuff on your car than some people, but you will have a car with most of the components from one great company.

if you go to "insideline.com" there is a video on the 06 tC with supercharger. looks pretty cool. i believe they clocked it at 7.2 sec 0-60 and 15.2 on the quarter.
just go to insideline.com and "photo and pics", then search for the scion tC.

cars that run mid-high 14's have a certain "feel" to them; and I'd say with some confidence that my wife's tc ( sc w/ trd exhaust as only other "mod" ) has that same feel. Same can be said for something that hits lo-mid 6's to 60. And for now we're happy with that. Once TRD wakes up and ( hopefully ) offers some of the same add-ons that others have out there ( pulleys, etc ) then we'll be doing even more to it. But after all, ours will be driven only on the road, so all we can do is make those on ramp blasts or stop light hits a bit more on the fun scale.
Thanks to you guys out there posting these numbers, it's nice to read what the 'std' sc models can do. And for some of those rags/mags that have such slow performance numbers on a test car--i think my daughter can drive a stick better then those writers....

Road and Track magazine just released a "Sports and GT Cars 2006" edition, in which they tested a supercharged tC. They clocked 0-60 at 6.9 and the 1/4 mile in 15.1, both representing a 0.5 second inprovement over their test of a stock tC.
This conversation is great timing...my 06 tC is not home tonight...It's at the dealer where they are currently installing the TRD Supercharger! Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow! Then Thursday it's off to the shop to have leather and seat heaters installed...

a quick question....will the dealer install the blower if i bought it from sparks? im thinking ya, but they probably wont be as willing to give me a deal on the install. im thinking i probably shouldnt even open the box when i get it? as far as the magazine numbers, both of them didnt break 15's , thats no bueno. i would expect 3500 dollars to break into upper 14's easily.
