ROTREX S/C Coming soon! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

nsmitchell · 08-08-2007, 09:06 AM

That thing looks pretty darn simple to install! The belt may be a bitch. No new exhaust manifold is awesome. And that sucker is small as hell!

I wonder why the intake is not where the old box was located???

***edit***

I see, the airflow sensor is connected to the intake and I guess they didn't want a wiring harness or something like that. Or is that the electronic throttle???

I wonder how much power increase and how it sounds?

does not specify

yeah lets see how much its going to cost, and when it will actually release...Cause it seems to me when these companies write "near future" or something similar it really means months and months dragging on to years. The blitz sc has had a TBA on there website forever...

The ROTREX installation looks pretty clean..
take a look at the one below, i believe its a Blitz S/C

look what the guy had to do to his hood, its a pretty old picture though

lostmind · 08-08-2007, 04:14 PM

It looks sexy! How do I get one :)

jdium · 08-08-2007, 04:35 PM

50 hp at the wheels? Even at the crank? Call me a bit skeptical

. That's a 50% increase at the crank, more like 60% at the wheels. Is this thing spitting out 15lbs of boost?

Thirty-Nine · 08-08-2007, 04:58 PM

I could see 50% with a header and header-back exhaust system, and tuning, but not just by slappin on a charger ...

doubt it. sounds like an inflated crank #. but that's close because isn't our drivetrain loss like 10% or something small like that?

the 1nz is still pretty new. give it some time. start saving your pennies and in a few years, you'll be able to buy all this with cash money

thebarber · 08-08-2007, 05:44 PM

i would expect to see similar numbers to the JR fit s/c....w/ an exhaust manifold and exhaust (as the fit has)

so for CARB legality, 130whp, no CARB and 10lbs of boost, expect 150whp-ish

you shouldnt need to upgrade internals as the 1nzfe is a lower compression engine to start with, but im sure the kit comes w/ bigger injectors....

as for sound? ive read the rotrex s/c's are pretty quiet

Doc Zaius · 08-08-2007, 06:40 PM

10.5:1 is lower compression??

NO IT ISN'T.

Plus our internals are actually just Lincoln Logs.
