210whp was proven on a echo forum with dyno run, videos, and pictures.

I'm not comparing the 1nz to the 3sgte, obvious the 3sgte is a better platform. But, 1nz isn't hopeless. Just a few major problems/issues to work on and you are home free.

 

yeah we have one HUGE difference between us and an echo. our 64 bit ecu.......

 

I didn't bother to read through pages 2,3,4 because it all adds around the same whining talk. But it just seems like so many people kick the 1nz to the curb, there are plenty of things you can do to the motor..but with more HP comes more money and problems. But isn't that what building a motor or even making a car go faster is all about? You gotta be willing to pay the price...if your not, then why even worry about making a car go faster? Swap it, mod it, boost it..all the same thing.
Personaly, i've thought about the prius bottom end b/c of the much higher compression and going all motor...just me though.

 

I have been saying that to people for a really long time now and nobody listens...13.5:1 N/A compression...WTF...why doesnt anybody listen
Thats a pretty good starting platform if you ask me

 

the prius motor uses the atkinson cycle.

 

Interesting.

it does benefit to be a toyota rep

 

I knew there was something with the Prius gas side that didn't produceas much and that's where the electric side balanced things but not the particulars.

I learned something new, can I go home now?

 

only if you wipe your desk clean.

 

Sorry I never got back to you... I left the Scion community online for about 7 months and now have a 06 RS 3

That turbo setup IMHO was the best one I have seen yet. I was running 18 psi at the end and that was for Race only and I could smoke any of your bolt on Honda's, Acura's, Nissan's etc.... I did it mostly to prove that with enough know how and money anything is possible... Yes even with a box. That was a year ago and I have yet to see another box in person that was faster. I am currently just making my rs 3 a comfortable show only car. Bolt on mods will be the only thing that touches this xb untill my warrenty is up and after that the box will be getting a new Motor, tranny, suspension and all!!!!

Correct me if I am wrong and there have been MUCH faster xb's out since I was last around
