Default Nothin Scion Life.. or the Scion tC has seen before!!

Ahhh... sooon I'll be apart of the forced induction community once again haha.. this time with my tC...

I can't say much yet, but I will add that it has never been done with a tC yet... and it will be on the cover of S3 magazine once completed..

It's a part of the new look I'm doing... I can say I'll have all new red leather interior with yummy diamond stitch.

Sorry I can't add much more about what the big project is.. but it will def stir up a convo once it is seen haha... enjoy!!!

A method of forced induction that has never been done to the tC before...well, we have twin charged tC's...twin scroll turbochargers, TRD superchargers galore...Nitrous...

What hasn't been done to my knowledge are twin turbochargers and sequential turbochargers and uhm... a turbo diesel Scion...(actually, i had a dream that somehow I converted my tC to a turbo diesel,
it was really fast for a few brief moments, then I had to upshift, and my top speed was 70 mph because the gear ratios were the same, and diesels don't rev that high!)

That's called a remote mount Drax

Also the xB is offered in a turbo deisel in japan.

It's probably a bi turbo or something. thats seriously the only thing that hasn't been done aside from an AWD conversion.

ahh the infamous stripper turbo. Maybe he will attach like 6 electric superchargers together. Thats a good 12 psi of boost! Brilliant!

not so sure about that AWD thing because i heard there was somebody with an RS1 tc that was converted to AWD using components from the toyota rav4, but since that is a rumor from a rumor from a rumor, that maybe have never happened, also, making an AWD tc wouldn't be a first for forced induction, it would be a first for drivetrain or something.

oh, and on another note, most of us know about the v6 scion tc, maybe this will be the first turbo v6 or first super v6? or whatever...

its gotta be bi turbo or twin turbo... and why would you post so early when there are bound to be issues if this thing is so incredibly custom? All you are doing is setting yourself up for the possibility of looking like a dumbass when the curse comes back and bites ya...

ScionLife needs to win a world series and get this curse out of here.

Anyone can post saying something is gonna be done, but how many times do they actually come through?... Exactly... Making this thread completely useless... Might as well lock it until theres actually something...
