I think the Corolla engine is whats in the tC, we have an Echo engine, Ours is a 1.8? Liter, and the Corolla/tC engine is a 2.4? liter.
Or something like that...

The tC is the current Camry/Solara 4cyl engine, 2AZFE, which replaced the older Camry/Solara 5SFE. The current gen (non XRS) Corolla engine is 1ZZ-FE. We have the Echo's 1.5L 1NZFE engine. In our case, 1=1st generation, N=Engine family name, Z=another unrelated vehicle with the N family manufactued by Toyota, F= fuel economy, E=engine.

Now if you want to Turbo the 1NZFE, you may change it to: 1NZ-FTE. If supercharged, you may change it to: 1NZ-FZE. How do I know of this, I cheated

Don't forget the biggest advantage of this car as far as drag racing is concerned....it's light as hell! And if you're dedicated to dragging, you can make it even lighter. Gut it, swap the motor, FI, and it would be pretty quick.

Drag racing, no way

I recall that it required 4 shifts before reaching the quarter mile marker on an xB

that means the gearing is unsuitable for drag racing, it is geared too LOW not to high

The reason it gets good gas milage is light weight and tiny engine not gearing.

SO far all I have seen is Greddy turbo kit and TRD turbo kit, and I am waiting to hear from Area 51 about their supercharger kit.

So far nothing has been released as the things just went on widespread sale on monday.

they are not going to start selling until there are at least a few thousand, not hundred owners looking to upgrade. UN til the n I would tweak it and tweak it.

I've heard the blitz kit is going to be available pretty soon, but that's just a rumor...I didn't hear it from Blitz.

With jusy that in no way will you cut 4 seconds off. You will be right at ~160hp which is the same as a Civic Si. Which runs mid to high 15's stock. Since we weigh ~400lbs less we should be hitting low 15's to high 14's.

the civic si doesnt come close on torque due to the stroke of the b16... and it only puts 138hp at the wheels on dyno from that 160hp at the crank due to loss.... http://hondata.com/images/civicsi.gif .....unless your talkin about the newer si which is junk and slower......why i got a 2k si before they were gone....my si stock did 138whp and 118ft lbs of torque off the dealer floor when i bought it.....my scion when i get the work done will be at 150whp or better putting me into the low 14's....i ran 15flat in the civic

The turbo for xa, xb and vitz is already out in Japan
It add 30Kw to the car. (110 KW - 80KW)
30Kw = 40 more horsepower

The price is 598,000 yen = US $5,675

very expensive for 40 hp
