normally i dont care for tC's because people around me tint the windows, lower it, and put rims on it and then think they can go up against a 315whp integra.. but yours is actually quite powerful (the most powerful tC ive seen) and looks pretty damn good. Some people may not like your visual mods but it shows you put a lot of time and effort into it. Congrats on the good looking tC man!  

Props.  It's clean.  A little excessive with the visuals for my taste, but hey...

And you spent all that money on a T3/04E setup to run what, 10psi or so?  Because nowhere did you mention doing anything to the fuel system.  WHY?! All you're doing is slowing your spool time with a bigger turbo than you need.  People run 20psi plus on those turbos.  My stock T25 runs 14-15 and spools almost instantly.

And not to be a critic, but 277hp is not all that impressive considering all the money you spent.  If I spent the same amount on my DSM, I'd be well into the mid 300 range... Just sayin..

great car, dont see alot of tc's around here  if you spent this much into the car, go ahead and have all the visuals you want. just wondering how much was this the setup? (excluding interior),  

Thanks guys for the comments

_nismo_- I plan on running more boost (prolly 14 on stock motor) this is just the base for the kit . ?Im running it to give the shop feedback about it as if it was out of box and bolted on.  As far as the numbers the dyno is known to be a REEEEEAAAALLLY  low number reader. but my best track time so fsr is 13.9 at 109MPH
(on all season tires, bad track prep on a 98 degree day.)

woody- I dont even like thinking of the money put into it but i was well worth it.

car is no where near done it was a show car first but Im no longer into that sort of thing. the exterior will be having lots of changes happening once I save up a bit more.
as far as fuel so far all I have are bigger injectors, I do plan on upgrading the fuel pump and getting fuel return system (fuel cuts at hard turns with less than a half tank of gas)  

"the dyno is known to be a REEEEEAAAALLLY low number reader"

What? A dyno is a dyno, man. They don't read high and they don't read low. What you pull on a dyno is what you put to the wheels. Period.

And 14 pounds is a little better than 8, but you're still wasting all that energy to spool a WAY bigger turbo than you need.

trust me, the way the company designed the turbo kit there is no where near as much lag compared to when i had the turbonetics kit with a 50trim before. its basically a street version of their time attack TC setup.

And dyno's are not the same from each other (if I was a dyno queen I would go to another local shop with a dynojet but that shop sucks IMO), dyno number arent important to me anyways Ive beaten plenty of 300 WHP (they have dyno to prove it) so something is up....
and one of those car weighed less than mine BTW so it was power to weight or anything they shouldve had the advantage.

i can see where your coming from though and your comments and advice is appreciated, if you were local I would love to offer a you a ride (no homo) nothing beats seeing and feeling it in person    

"Ive beaten plenty of 300 WHP (they have dyno to prove it) so something is up....

Everyone always rules out the driver.  I've beaten a friends 470rwhp Cobra from a stoplight because he couldn't figure out how to hook up.

I dont rule out the driver. You can have a car with 1000 horse power but put a butt driver who cant use it and it falls on its face to a low HP car. Ive known one of the guys for years and he is a very exceptional driver. Weve raced time and time again just for fun. Digs and rolls.

Like I said numbers are number and Im no dyno queen. I just know my car can haul ass when needed      

It's true, DSMs are very cheap to get a lot of power (if done correctly) Regardless, this is one bad ass TC (and I'm hardly a fan of TCs). I don't like the paint job, but that's just a personal opinion. 277 is plenty of HP for a car like that

nothin wrong with front-wheel drive, I just refuse to own one

Oh I never said it wasn't badass. Because it very much so is.  I've seen plenty of riced TCs that are downright disgusting.  Like I said, it's a bit excessive with the visuals, but hey, that's your taste.  My point is, a T3/04E is much too large for the intended application.

haha i love how everyone this post (including me) just picks apart asll the little tiny things we wouldve done different or changed haha.    

oh and btw nice quote nismo lol  

Thanks guys and I know you cant ever please everyone.... I myself wanna tone the body down but need some moolah to do that.  

YOU REALLY NEED A PERFORMANCE CAMSHAFT DUDE-IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE YOUR POWER MORE-WITH THAT SCION TC WITH ("Garret turbo"). I really saving up my money for college and making my way as a 3D Animator and with much foogle and still looking for an DAMN CRANKSHAFT FOR MYSELF,GRRRRRRRRR. I WANT TO MAKE SURE ITS RIGHT FOR MY SPECS. YOU SHOULD OF LOOKED FOR A CAMSHAFT FIRST BEFORE THE LOOKS. Hey, at least you got some good parts and sponsers will be soon all over you-SO U MAKING YOUR WAY . I suggest YEAH it could be in IMPORT TUNER I GUESS -NICE   TC. But its not my fav in cars. Some cars boost better at low horsepowers. However, scions are so low-WHAT ARE TOYOTAS THINKING . Got to say car manufactors are trying to put themselves in a MPG WORLD. I say they should install fuel pressure regulators, dual exhausts, and be done with it .
