here is the site to the TRD bB review http://www.carview.co.jp/express_new/trd/impression.asp


this is the car in question. it sports a TRD turbocharger and intercooler (i guess) i wanted to know the following

1. will it fit USDM spec motor?
2. is it worth it?
3. can anyone read this at all and give me a little info
4 and who makes the kit and wheels. the wheels are a must have item!!!!

i was thinkin alot about the Blitz blower but now im thinkin enging efficentcy and i wanna get seroius with the motor now. but i want a nice TRD theme and ish. but Greddy makes nice turbo systems, and since i helped my buddy install his turbo in intercooler in his last gen Lude. i'll sport one too

i belive greddy has pulled out from the production of this turbo kit

 

To awnser your questions, these are from what I know I may be wrong.
1. No, The JDM Blitz S/C doesn't fiot the USDM xB, even if it was an automatic, so I would assume no for the TRD kit. Also the TRD kit comes with a new ECU and the JDM and USDM ECU's are different.
2. Yes and No, depends if you really want to spend 4-6 grand just to get bumped up to 150HP.
3. I can tell you what the kit comes with for the most part. PM me for more info I'm too lazy to list it all now.
4. This is just a replacement lip, the sides are rear are the same, if you look closely the TRD kit requires you to change the Grill, try and figure out why . PM me to find out where to get the Lip. The wheels cost over $500 a piece, $2,500.00 for all four (USED) is the best price I was offered for them. The rims are made by Ray's Enineering the same people who makes Volk Racing rims.


Hope I helped, if I am wrong please feel free to correct me.

 

Iwant that grill

 

panese TRD site and those are 15 inch Volks/Rays i see

500 wheel :-\ i already have 15 inch tires :-D

something to think about i guess

 

They are TRD Sports T3 rims, Bronze, sized 16 x 7 with a +33mm offset. Thats why I roll on 16 x7 (+33mm offset) 5Zigen FN01R-C, that's TRD's perfered size fot the bB, my rims weigh as much and are very much so less expensive.

 

can you post a pic please?

 

love that box! i wish all the parts were available!! :D

 

I got a flyer from TRD Japan that shows the top mounted IC and all of the plumbing and such. Too bad the US ECU isn't one that can be modified.

I do know of some new rods/pistons/injectors though.

 

new rods , you say? Pistons too? zz motor injectors can slip in.

 

i got the flyer also but it is in japanese.
the engine bay looks nice

 

I like the front lip!

 

the front lip you can get from www.newscionparts.com :D

 

Pics of my rims or the TRD rims?

The picture in the TRD Japan catalogue shows new plugs, injectors, ECU, fittings, lines, piping, IC, attachements for the airbox, and a host of other parts that make the conversion complete. Unfortunately, its not compatible w/ the USDM ECU.

 

anyone have scans from this catalog? any updates on this?

 

Can't you just put the JDM ECU in? Non-Californians, anyway?

 

I know toyota has a video of the trd bb racing a stock one. It looks pretty quick.

 

i agree that putting like 2-6k in getting your xb upto 150 isnt worth it , you might as we just have gotten the tc instead, i say put 300-1k into gettig a CAI , Headers and Exhuaust get it up to 130-140 (non-dyno tested) you can get the lip domestically and sides who you racing in a xb anyways ?
