yea stock its 160... motor is very congested and is an economical motor.... just like a ls teg its more for economic... but boost it and it runs... low compression stock = less motor work....haha

A FWD 2.4L I4 making 160hp, is not a bit sporty... Its ecomonic. Now a 220 hp 2.0L I4 FWD NA engine is a bit sporty, AKA K20, and a 240hp NA High Compression 9k redline 4 banger is fukking sporty, aka s2000.

Even a 1.8L B series is a bit sporty.

My 1.6l SOHC and your scion are nothing but economic. Dont waste your money on the TC and make the mistake like me, its not worth it unless your going to do some crazy engine build, tranny building, hardcore boost, suspenison upgrade, etc etc. Just my opinion.

But regardless man, A boosted TC is sweet, so GL with your build, and I hope it comes out nice, clean, and fun.

^ Let him do whatever he wants, it's his car. Who cares if he wants to mod a Scion.

OP - like said previously, don't get new wheels because of weight. Your car is a stock 160hp monster, wheels that are 10lbs lighter aren't gonna make a bit of a difference when street racing a civic.

Oh and I LOLed @ you telling people to meet you on the street to race.

sorry ment to say a tad bit because of the good torque....butttttt look theres like a million different k series, f series and b series... and only one 2azfe........ b series are nice but are old now... a ep3 issss sssslllloooowwwww... haha type s comes with bigger intake manifold, exhaust, different internals and a true i-vtec! older s2000 was made to keep up with bigger engines, but now the newer s2k's have lower revs(due to economic issues) f series are in accords haha just s2ks have another cam and another gear, but thanks for the gl!! im building my motor soon and doing a twin turbo setup.... shhhhhhh keep it on the dl!!! haha

749 stock... not NA right... you mean turbo, fuel upgrade, and tune right...

and a clutch doesnt add to the engines HP. and a stock tC tranny can handle over 700hp?
