Raced my buddies turbo'd scion tc. Was pretty impressed on how close the race was. He has a huge weight difference - interior is gutted, no hood on during the race and his hatch is carbon fiber.


First race was from about 40 both started in 3rd (different gear ratio's so he got the jump on me)

2nd race was from 40- 120 (cobalt started in 2nd scion in 3rd)


2009 cobalt ss tc mods- catless dp, k&n sri, synapse charge pipes, treadstone tr8 intercooler, magnaflow exhaust, hp tuned 24psi, Dyno'd at 315 whp and 345 wtq.

Scion Tc - Dezod s1 turbo kit, catless dp, custom exhaust, intake, gutted interior, tuned on 10psi carbon fiber hatch and no hood during the race, Dyno'd at 302 whp and 293 wtq.


First race I gain on him a lot towards the end of the run, second run I stayed a head the whole time besides when I let off at the end


Here's the video :

 

Damn pretty even. You on 91 octane?

 

93 Octane

 

Nice runs. Surprised the scion was that quick.

 

same here honestly. But there is a big weight difference. His interior is gutted. I still have my seats, also sub enclosure in the trunk.

 

I suppose he did save some weight. But still good for the Tc it has a lot less torque. Do they come with a LSD aswell? DI?

No hood during the race? Lol never seen that before. Woulda figure'd it create more drag on the highway than gains. What'ss a hood weigh 60lbs?

 

unsure, its a carbon fiber hood also so i doubt 60lbs lol . And his does not have lsd. He could've had it added but he did not. He has a stage 3 clutch on it and a light weight flywheel.


the carbon fiber hatch is what saves a lot of weight also!

 

Tc is not di

 

Definitely still impressive. Although gutting the interior is a little desperate if its a street car.

 

yeah he doesn't drive it much. has aftermarket seats in it still has one passenger seat lol. He mainly just drives it to car shows and stuff- not his daily


as far as gutted hes removed the seats and put aftermarket ones in and removed the back seats and sub enclosure.

 

hmmm interesting .... my friend in high school had like an 89 civic hatch that he used to always drive around with no hood on ... thought he was a bad ass.

its was pretty gay

 

Good runs
What turbo comes in that s1 kit

 

its a Garrett T3/T04E 57 trim turbocharger

 

Paul (owner of Dezod) definitely know his stuff about those cars, I've talked to him and the engine is pretty well over engineered although they still can't make as much without being built than the SS' can. Still way better than my shitty 2.2 though.

 

You're friend use a breather in his pcv? Can really see it smoking after the third run

 

seemed like you guys were toying back and forth.

 

I am unsure.

Yeah we were, they were really good runs.

 

Good runs! Both of the cars weigh about the same stock. He gets out maybe 100lbs from the interior, maybe 20-30 lbs from hood, then you add the turbo kit which adds back some. So the weight difference isn't that huge, maybe 100lbs. If the weight difference was that significant, he would have walked you with the power levels being that close IMHO.

 

I agree. He does also have a lot less tq. Also has a carbon fiber hatch which weighs significantly less than the oem hatch.

stock for stock the cars weigh about the same. but on mine i do have aftermarket wheels (msr) which weigh about 8lbs more per wheel, sub enclosure, aftermarket seats (weigh about 10lbs each more) and I had a full tank of gas lol

But in the end they were really close races and pretty much just depended on who got the jump. IMO i was impressed with it and how close it was.

 

The tC's are no joke once they add our turbo system onto them. Stock motors can run around from 300-350whp well tuned. After that, it's built block and major fuel system overhaul time.

The S1 makes great power and is an awesome kit. Should you have any more questions, ask away! Here are a few more vids of our turbo on a Scion backed TA program we sponsor. Enjoy!




It's also the ONLY turbo kit to have survived the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race.
