I haven't been on here too much, I guess the scion isn't my first choice for a car sorry guys =( but I do make it mine, and I make sure I enjoy it. I think if I could make it faster I would like it more. Anyway my only mods are an ebay CAI and an engine damper modded from a 240sx to fit the turd.

I purchased a barebones sort of kit from Dynotune, which was everything needed except a bottle (NOS brand) which I borrowed from my mustang, and I found a Zex purge kit local for a great price which makes it a mutt haha.

A local club I belong to had a dyno day sooooo it all worked out great! With no nitrous, my car made 99.3hp to the wheels. With a 35 hp dry shot the car made 136hp. Heres some pics/videos on the dyno.

With my big heavy wheels the fastest I have run in the 1/8th mile was an 11.2, this is in florida so the heat is way up there usually around 90* with the stock wheels and temps around 35* I ran a best of a 10.70.

With the high temps and the 35 shot I ran a best of a 10.4. BUT the story doesn't stop there. At the latest track night I decided to step my game up and start taking names. With an extra 15 hp I brought my times down to a 10.02. I was hoping to break 9's but I was having traction problems spraying in 1st lol. I ended up making 4 runs with the 50 shot before it was time to go home. The transmission was making a little whining noise at the end of the track I'm not sure its made for 150 hp lol (its a 5 speed)

Congrats you hardly ever see Scions (much less xA's) running on the bottle.

I have seen those vids a while back. very nice xA! Post more on the forums!

well most owners prefer the safer, less expensive mods. this is just my opinion so dont gripe if you disagree.

Stock Motor 103hp
CAI 8hp
Header and Exhaust 15hp
Light weight pulley, frees about 5hp (guess)
Supercharger/Turbo 40hp

end power 171hp. and our motors only handle I think 200hp on the stock internals. Doesn't leave much safety room. A lot of owners are not boosted but even then nitrous just has always seemed to me like a use only for real racing. On the track or for cash. Any beef I have with a honda with a wing and vtech stickers can kiss my ass.
