The TT kit will work on any 1mz engine (including VVT-i).

It's going to be decently expensive. But trust me, it is worth the money.

1MZ (Compatable VVt-i engines)
Stage 1
50% gain @ 5psi
Comes with all the plumbing and a tunable black box

Stage 2
125% @ 10psi (Unofficial Results)
Same as Stage 1 plus intercooler

Stage 3
no data, will be running at 15psi
same as Stage 2, plus forged interenals, O2 sensors, plus more

3.3L (Compatable with VVT-i Engines)
Stage 1
25% gain @ 5psi (Unofficial Results)

October is the date being shot for, however nothing is final. The Head Mechanic at SC also works on a Pro NASCAR team. So time varies.

But the kit is still on track. So keep saving your pennies

I'm fairly new to turbos, but will start my own project later this year. I'm just really curious on how you're getting +125% power at stage two, when 10psi is only 1.68 bar, even though it's different for all turbos. (Thanks Tony, for motivating me go learn how to figure up 3vz air consumption and how to read turbo graphs LoL!)

I don't know much <relatively> but my math tells me that's only a rough 68% increase in air not 125%, not counting losses from heating and piping. The IC cools it back down some, but it sure aint ambient.

Maybe I just shouldn't open my mouth, but can someone explain that one? What else are you doing in stage 2 you're not listing???

Ne0z The piping isn't ging to help you. The key words here is that they are using a twin turbo setup; while you have a small turbo.

Thanks Mike for stepping in,

As Mike listed there is schedule to be 3 stages for the 1MZ Twin tubro set-up, The tentative MRSP for the Stage 2 as listed above is around $6500, but it will be going down as we are combining the Stages together. thats the reason why we never listed a price because what will be included in each stage will be changed dramatically like for example the addition of new headers to be included in Stage 2 and having the intercooler as part of the Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Before we was planning on offering all 3 stages to the public, but due to great demand in the racing world we will be offering 1-2 stages to the public and the other is what we will be supplying to Bass Racing, and other racing teams for which will be a full engine build-up.

So the above price will not apply to the future Stage 2 which will be the final production version will the final price. Our site is updated frequently featuring new releases about this and other
SC products that are to come in the future.

Still wondering how you guys are saying you get 125% horsepower increase and you're putting less than 70% mroe air in the engine @ 10psi.
