where's the performance products?

[cleong]

From these forums I found out some enterprising guy took Honda CBR1100 or some other motorbike's ITB and fitted it up to a Scion. It made 35 extra horses but cost so much that no one bought it because it cost what I remember was three grand.

How good is it? Blitz had to go the forced induction route to get 25-30 hp, whereas this guy did it with NA (imagine the induction noise - free of charge!).

Apparently he ended up selling so few kits it wasn't worth the trouble.

You whine about the lack of aftermarket parts, you want the aftermarket companies to make it available, preferably in competition, so you can choose the cheapest, you want someone else to be the guinea pig, and you don't want to void your warranty.

Having your cake and eating it comes to mind, but it seems you want the other guy's cake too.
