Has anybody seen the new video on YouTube with Rado's 500 hp tC, he says it only has pistons, rods and turbo.

Why can't many people pull those numbers off?

becasue we all cant spend the ammount he has and were not bad **** tuners! his kits are fully custom..

wut he said

TurboToyotas

He forgets to mention everything else....

Time and lots of $$$

He has MOTEC for one. More than most people spend on there turbo kit by itself.

They have spent more time on a dyno than the normal "consumer" can afford to do (plus they have there own so it helps)

The motor is sleeved...always has been (he just dyno'd over 700whp at the Modified CHallange here in AZ just a few weeks ago, Borg Warner Turbo)

Custom intake manifold, throttle body (no more drive by wire) etc, etc

There is a long list. Its not just a simple as they make it sound.

But you will see some more 500++whp SCIONS here in the near future. Some with standalones, some with Piggybacks.

If we had the money that Rado has we could do what Kenny Tran did or even do a full RWD conversion like the RSR Drift Team.
If the tC was RWD and Tubo we would run with mostly any high end car out there.

Mine will be there with the TT Standard Stage 3 GT kit and when I build my engine, transmission, and tune the AEM Standalone. Of course there are other things going to be done as well.

Sounds like mine!!!

I would be torn between making it AWD or RWD. Seeing as how it's built off of an AWD chassis. But then again, I love drifting, so I would lean more towards RWD like the RSR tC.

Another thing about Rado's tC is he's is using the Stock Comp Ratio.

one of the guys in my car club is at 443... so it's possible. just takes time and money. the guys in puerto rico have been at 500hp for a while now...

thanks for the input, i figure it's alot of free product and sponorship without worry about a blowing a motor.

aen

oh, i went on a dyno but when they printed it out because my car was so fast it flew out hte window so i don't have the dyno sheet but i swear that i'm 710

If you're talking BHP, 500 is atainable with the stock motor with race gas.

rhythmnsmoke

People always seem to forget about race gas. There is a gas station about 15 mins away from me that has 110 oct. on pump. I bought a 6 gallon gas can just so I can fill it there with 110.

Yep. Spot on there with those statements. Said it before and will say it again....Anything is possible so long as someone involved has the vision and the $$
