Thanks

S/C PULLEY
BORE THORTTLE BODY
HEADER 4-1
CAT-BACK
PULLEYS
CLUTCH/ FLYWHEEL
API- S/C CAI
CAMCOM

THAT'S 250-260WHP

Somehow I highly doubt that

I'm 92% sure the Supercharger can handle up to 18psi.

So 18 X 9.8 = 176.4
- 10% = 158whp

I would say the actual turbine of the supercharger will be able to add around 150whp to the tC.

Of course youll need TONS of supporting mods, but the supercharger has the potential.

I think it's 19psi so add 9.8 to 158= 167.8

It's not the S/C you really need to worry about it's the engine.

garyc_01

after all of that then get some head work and that will gain u atleast 25whp more

jj010

Meaning you'll need pistons and rods

trdsparks

To name a few yes. If you're planning on boosting over 10-12psi you should upgrade a lot more than that it you want to do it right.

jj010

Yes, I agree, but I'am wondering what camcom will do if you already have the ecu reflashed?

I think there is alot more power in tuning then we know. If the stock S/C setup runs as rich as I am seeing, I would be willing to bet there is 15-30hp or so in tuning alone..

kytc

I'm going to agree with highlander. I'm sticking with the s/c so keep me updated with whatever you get done highlander. I need some money and then I'll start trying to get stuff done. I think my first thing is going to be clutch, flywheel, and LSD and then some type of fuel management. You know what type of tuning your going to do highlander? I'm either gonna do dezod's upcoming thing or AEM ems.

HighlanderMac

I really wish I could go with UniChip, but it looks like I may end up going eManage because there are no UniChip tuners in the area.
I am glad to see that you are sticking with the S/C... You just wait.. I will have some 12lb numbers sometime soon, whenever Toyota lets me know what the deal is with my S/C... But they told me it will be warrentied so that is good.

kytc

Yeah I'm the same way. The Unichip looks really nice but I don't want to have to drive hours to get it tuned. I'm going to see what dezod comes up with, it's sounding promising, you might want to keep an eye on them as well. I'm anxious to see your 12lb pulley numbers, I'll probably do that this summer too. I just figured it would cost too much to switch over to turbonetics and I'm excited about what I can get done with this s/c. I really want to see someone make 300whp by the end of this year. I'm hoping I can get there if I can get the funding that I'm hoping to get in.

Its a good thing Im no more than 30 mins away from my Unichip tuner ...gotta set up an appointment sometime later next week after my clutch and flywheel go in. The car was running a lil to rich for my taste so I pulled the unichip out for a lil while till I get the fuel maps cleaned up a bit.

kytc

Hey simply are you running anything more than the rest of us with exception of the unichip?

HighlanderMac

We need to keep eachother updated on what we do, even if we dont want everyone else to know, we can do it in PMs, but I think we need to help each other out as much as possible..

Simplyscion

you know what I have coming...I think I already answered this for you through pm's.

Simplyscion

absolutely

Don't forget me guys Us original s/c owners need to look out for each other
