Scion tC makes 327whp and 320 ft/lbs

Dyno vid:

Dyno graph:



Stock internals @ 12psi.

Looks a little lean to me, especially in that 3.5k-4.5k rpm range.

I've never really taken a look at these cars. They are uber cheap! Might be a replacement for the CL-S in a few years. Can you get navi in the tC?

Untrue? My modded TLS had terrible torque steer Heard the 6-speed CLS is much better though.

Maybe you are use to your car now.

Gotcha

Depends on the engine though.. A good competitor to the Scion's engine is my Accord's 2.4L I-4. I have a feeling both would perform similarly under boost

I completely agree. I love Honda engines myself. The I4 in my Accord is pretty smooth and powerful. So much so that you sometimes don't even realize it's a 4 cylinder. I also have like the VQ, but I do miss my CL's J-series sometimes (VTEC roar and smoothness)

that's a 2.4L i4. that's alot of displacment. Until recently no honda engine had that much. Look at the stock k24 block with the RSX-S head. Nearly 200ftlbs of trq. I'd argue you'd see the same amount in a similar sized engine.

Negative, I still feel Honda makes the best engines on earth. But They usually are a little lacking in the torque department.

Too bad they didn't make a project out of the trd supercharged tc. Rather have the car come from the dealer with the F/I and then mod it.

^ Which isn't installed in any Toyota currently sold in the US. Slightly altered for a few Lexus applications, but it isn't nearly the same as the Supra.

Also, we were talking 4 cylinder.

Every 5 speed auto doesn't have issues. Everyone knows that, well except for you. There's only a 15-20% failure rate. Of course eventually all transmissions will fail, but from wear and tear, not the design defect.

EDIT: I have over 80,000 rattles on my CL-S and the only rattle I have comes from the license plate frame on the bumper.

Who said only 15-20%?
HONDA? and u believe what they said?
_______________________________

all my friends who drive CLS/TLS have at least replaced their tranny once.

anyways.

it is a known fact that toyota is known for reliability and Honda is for bang for the buck

Honda actually said less than 2%. The general concensus on the forum is that its about 15-20%

Yes Toyota is reliable, but they aren't bullet proof and when it comes to power, the Honda motors out there now trounce all over Toyota

Doesnt matter that it isnt installed in any current toyota he stated that Toyota engines > then Honda engines, and that is true Toyota has made better engines the obvious 2jzgte. And 3uz-fe, 2zz-ge, 7mgte, and i guess if you would like to talk 4 cylinder no honda 4 cylinder will match the 3sgte that the MR2 Turbo's came with

so over all if we are talking about stock engines that the car makers made for their cars throughout the years Toyota > then Honda, but if your talking as of right now currently and talking just 4 cylinder i will give that to you the K series Honda motor blows the GTS 2ZZ-GE away "i think" mod for mod stock for stock

i didnt say Toyota is bulletproof and they are not. but in general they are the closest one to Bulletproof.

and now ur talking about power/engine again, i never said Toyota's engine>Honda's NOR Honda's > Toyota's . because i dont know.
