yeah, but you gotta know what your doing, what your buying and frequently retune as you change and upgrade these parts.

scikotictc232

what i would do is build out the rest of the car to make it stronger for when u have that turbo on there. boost wont do u no good if u dont have the traction u need. upgrade ur suspension, exhaust and tires first. research what ur buying also. u have to know about them to be able to maintain them.

Drummer829

well im for sure buying coilovers, im getting new rims/tires soon, and i already have the ark dt-s cat back exhaust..would i have to do any engine mods, like new pistons or anything?

draxcaliber

suspension, brakes, clutch, lsd if you can afford it, lightweight rims and sticky tires.

Drummer829

well i have an auto, so can i really do anything about my clutch, but where would the rubo put me at in whp?

scikotictc232

around 220 to 250 whp on a good conservative tune. U can do tranny mods to your auto and do a valve job on it to help it stick up to the power you will be producing.

Drummer829

hmmm....can u do tranny mods with the s/c???

sorry for asking all these questions, its just im still sooo confusued whether to go either s/c or turbo...i know what they both do, its just idk, lol

scikotictc232

anything u can do to the tc with a supercharger u can do with the turbo. the tranny has nothing to do with it.

i had Web Cams make me some custom cams for my turbo set up. they made them for my particular car, and took all of my mods, and future upgrades into consideration! they ended up being 284's... which is gonna sound effin sick! i had hsk 272's in my DSM, and that thing sounded freakin mean... i can't wait to hear my tc after the build

if your interested, call web cams, and ask for Melissa, and tell her I sent you for the Scion hook up ;)

Drummer829

what kinda turbo do you have, and what kind of mods do you have with it, other than the turbo and the stuff that comes with it

krazylowgsx

i could type an entire list, but i'll just list the major stuff...

the turbo will probably be changed after my first dyno session..lol, but right now its a SC60.. basically non ball bearing gt35r.

stage 2 zpi head with the custom web cams
ERL sleeved block
Manley I-Beam rods... YES, i said I BEAM ;)
CP pistons 90 over bore
TT old manifold
3" ic piping
3" down pipe
3.5" exhaust back from dp
msd 6al
880cc injectors (for now)
-8 fuel feed line
-6 fuel return line
sx fuel filter, and FPR
dual walbro 255 pumps (just like roberto's tc)
and thats most of the big stuff off the top of my head!
dont ask about the management bc idk yet. most likely AEM

i'm shooting for 600whp

Drummer829

damn dude, what do you think the biggest boost for hp is?

scikotictc232

do you have a thread following ur progress ?

krazylowgsx

im not trying to thread jack.. I just chimed in to give my input on the cams. but as far as boost.. I won't be scared to peak my boost gauge out at 30psi! I don't have a thread going for the process bc its a slow process for me. its not a main priority of mine right now so I pretty much just tinker with it every now and then. this spring I'll have it all together tho, and we'll also be adding a few goodies to my wives boosted tc.. were shooting for 330ish in her car with factory motor.

Drummer829

how much can you get a tc's hp up before having to change parts in the engines

Ripps s/c cams give you about 18-23whp - which is about 21-27hp - a guy gary (garyc_01) has them so maybe you should direct your questions to him

krazylowgsx

i personally wouldn't go past around 330whp on factory internals. there are people putting down 340's, and 350's, but thats just to risy for my taste.

Drummer829

yea, with the s/c im def gonna have exhaust, header w/ s-pipe, pulleys, and custom cams...but idk what i cud do with the turbo...but hopefully all of that shud put me around 240-250 and then do other stuff in the future

^ i am 100% with you - 330whp is the max mark i tell anybody they should stick around. Honestly I would stick around 300whp because to get over that mark you need to boost 10psi+ nomatter how you look at it .....and I would be scared of blowing my head gasket and/or something internal. I think different then a lot of normal car people because keeping the car very safe is a main concern for me.

Drummer829

yea exactly, thats why im afraid of turbo, haha..but i want my car to be faster than other 4 cyl., some 6 cyl. and possibly some 8 cyl.
