Scion tC with a Supercharged V6

[SuperSolara]

Hey Toyota makes a supercharger for the 6 cylinder 1MZ-FE. The tC uses a Camry 4 cylinder. Camrys can fit a V6. So how about a 3.0 V6 S/C tC? 325HP in a tC sounds like fun to me!

[Warped]

Agreed.

yeah, i thought about this too, but we obviously won't know until it's out. It looks like it would have enough clearance though, not sure about hood clearance after SC though. that'd be pretty sweet though.


hmmmmm...but they don't have any cars with a 1mz and stick, right now. i think u'd hafta use the ECU off an older non-vvti 1mz.

[Deuce]

f-dat. 3MZ w/custom boost and exhaust

[SuperSolara]

Sure B Duece, but who wants tw spend twice what the car costs on "custom". May as well take the $60K and buy a Factory hot rod.

[epborden]

Hotness Factor.

[02RSX90camry]

has anyone thought of a single 1MZ vvt-i that has a stick? i still can't think of any.

btw, does the 1AZ have the same mounting points as teh 1AZ? if so, i wonder if u could run a 2ZZ in there

[2wickedtoyz]

why not use the auto\manual tranny they come with now?

[VVT-i Owns]

Oh but the 1MZ does come in manual, just not here ....

E153, I think Ratko has that Tranny...

Wah, I'm sorry that 1MZ doesn't have VVT-i

[zoni]

i thought some of the later 1mz's had vvti...

also, i have that manual tranny on the 1mz... and many camrys 97+ and solaras with 1mz's have standards...

[VVT-i Owns]

I guess the Ausies don't get the 1MZ with the VVT-i

yes, i realize that gen 4 camry's had manuals with the 1mz, and that some 1mz's had vvti, but there were no vvti'd 1mz's with manuals. lol. cuz the only 1mz's with vvti were in siennas, avalons, and gen5 camry's as far as i can think of. i guess u could do a manual conversion, but it might not be perfect then, as far as the ECU is concerned.

[zoni]

i just did a manual conversion with a 1mz... it is perfect... the ecu puts up codes for missing shift solenoids. thats it. otherwise, the engine and tranny work perfectly together. and there is much more power more tire spins and chirps

[SuperSolara]

A check engine light is not a minor problem, though I have seen people install resistors in place to the transmission shift solenoids to prevent that. Can you change to a manual car ECU?

[02RSX90camry]

i doubt u could change to a manual ecu because i doubt it would control teh vvti function
