    Scion Tc

    Well as some of u know my car is all messed up from a turbo dream gone bad, so I been thinking of a new resonable car to get. So i went to Melody Toyota to get a book on the new TC Turns out they just got one in today and were about to put it on tha show floor.

    I checked it out its nice got lots of ideas in my head of what I might do if i get one. There comming out with a supercharger but it looks like a turbo??? i forgot what it was called something supercharger? est:200hp stock is 160hp

    trunk is small really small and opens like a hatch. and i think it might be a pain to change ur struts or put on a front strut bar? cuz there it less then an inch of space to get to tha screws. Well tomaroz im going to go take pics so if u can host them let me know and ill send them to u cuz i dont know how to do that?? oh and it has good leg room in tha back im 5'11 and I was comfortable but there is a little bump in tha middle so it hard to site there and if u have big feet they wont get smached when someone sits all tha way back.

    yea I believe its a centrifuge type S/C that is mounted on the intake side with a rod going to the pully side..40hp increase seems very conservative for that motor.. Sound like its set at less than 5psi

    centrifugal supercharger..... its just like a turbocharger compressor housing, but through gearing and the accessory belt its able to be belt driven at a proper speed to create boost

    youll see them on mustangs a lot...... vortec

    the one on the TRD 03 Corollas is a root type (I believe) which replaces the entire intake manifold.. I dont know much about SC but I see more tuning possibilities on centrifuge because you can replace the fuel rail and add intercooler piping.
