BrokenTusks 2013 Scion tC Release Series 8.0 Build

For the amount of things I go through, the random freebies make it feel not so bad haha.

 

May 4th, 2013
Got my lightweight crankshaft pulley installed today!! New Agency Power pulley. The new pulley weighs 19.7 oz, the old OEM one weighs 67.4 oz. Ends up being almost 3 pounds of weight savings! Also since thats all rotational mass it gives quite a nice boost of newly freed up power.

I'm also going to start tracking weight savings I think, between this and the header + removed parts. Probably shed 8-10 pounds already.

Should get +8 max rwhp, putting me around 184 rwhp currently. More importantly, the reduced weight moves my powerband about 250-300 rpms lower. Meaning that some areas of my powerband actually gain around 20-25 hp.

These are the NST pulley dynos. The NST pulley weighs 24 oz, so my gains should be a smidgen better:




NST Excerpt:
The Toyota 2AR-FE responded very well to the NST CR-Lite Crank Pulley. The weight reduction led to better whp and wtq numbers, quicker acceleration, and throttle response.
Peak WHP: from 142 to 147 and we saw a massive increase of +20 whp @ 4,100 rpm
Peak WTQ: from 135 to 151 and we saw a massive increase of +25 wtq @ 4,100 rpm

Faster acceleration Dyno:



Weighing the two pullies:




Installed!

 

Nice man that's awesome! Makes me wanna order one

 

Also should be good for an extra MPG!! haha, my comp tracks mileage so I'll know within a week or so.

we are just about to run out of warranty on the car I think its time i build a thread for it


ive been looking at pulleys for quite some time, they do nicely on the ralliarts

 

Hmm... maybe I'll order up a downpipe and lightweight crank pulley for now and save up some more and look into headers down the road

 

Yessum! Though you have a bulid thread already eh?? Or you mean performance wise?

Would be a nice boost for you. The 2.4L's could definitely use a little more pep.

 

hmmm now that im reading the RA is suggested against damn, lol mind you a turbo back would probably yield a shit ton

 

RA??? What are you going on about?

I'm totally lost lol.

 

car, my truck will be taking a break

 

Yes they could! My buddy made me feel like I was driving a Prius or something with his 400 whp 2002 wrx

 

What kinda car do you have???

lol, my mom drives, I like that thing

 

Yeah his is really fun to drive lol.

Evo X??

 

OOOOOHHHHH You meant RA as in Rally Art. kk, I'm on the same page now.

 

Added:
Pulley & a Confirmed weight shed counter to 1st post.

 

But what does that do?

 

not quite VVVVVVV but its just as fun

yah got some small plans in the immediate future, the factory suspensions sucks!!! we have had our shocks replaced 4 times!!!! under warranty that is, but that fine

But on the short list

19x9.5 dished rims
rolled fenders
Tein electronically adjustable coilovers(a bitch to install but ride quality well worth it, nice part is, we will be to gain +.5" lift for winter
Cobb AP stage 2
Ultimate Racing UIC and LIC piping
Ultimate Racing test pipe
UR downpipe
UR catback exhaust(i guess I could just go full turboback exhaust instead)
new blowoff valve
and a boost pill
tint all around minus front winshield
lip spoiler on the trunk versus the giant wing
big brake kit


should make for one hell of a fun car for daily driving and look great while doing it

All info is there on last page

Haha yes it should! That extra .5" in winter time would be useful, i wish TRD did better then adding performance lowering springs to my tC but in all honesty they ride well. We shall see I supoose. Wasnt bad at all last winter.
