thread #3...

Read the thread and thought for a moment I had time traveled to April 1st...

We should start a petition stating that if TRD or Subaru doesn't make any sort of FI in the next year, then an aftermarket FI kit should not void any warranty!

I can dream, right?

Feels like 2013 media frenzy, where there is no conern for accurate information, just who gets it out first!!!

yeah no kidding, ive been on the baord for about 7 minutes and seen all 3... im looking for the fourth one...

Good luck with that.

I have to ask, with what little info we have thus far, it some one were not to build up other parts of this kit what power seems logical with this kit anways?

...that sorta makes silence golden again, doesn't it? :burnrubber:

I think it's Toyota's and Subaru's way of collectively saying "go fuck yourselves" to people that want FI.

i tried to lookup the part number but it wont show in my listing :(

There, fixed it for you.

I could get another Atom for that much

LOL, i entered this thread with a smile, and I'm leaving it with laughter !

Next time my dog does his "business", I'm going to throw a TRD badge on the pile, take a picture of it and put it on ebay for $500.00.

I was too lazy to write the whole paper on my phone but I did state what it included

Is 26k for the two kit minimum, or per kit?

That makes it worth it

Hahahahahaha thats funny.

Per kit. You still have to fabricate the manifold and other things. It's for race teams. When my contact at TMS told me the kit 'announced' at SEMA would be cost prohibitive, he wasn't kidding lol

26k is that Japanese money? There has to be a mistake.
I know TRD is expensive but this would be simply retarded. no one buys a $26k car and puts $26k on 1 single mod.

This sounds like april fools day in march.

Nobody puts 10 thousand dollar brakes on a 26 thousand dollar car either but thats what the trd bbk goes for. Guess toyota really wants their goodies kept off the street and in the races. At least we can all go turbo for 1/3 the price and double the power output of this kit.

That's really ridiculous. Does anyone know what kind of power the kit is making in the PWC car?

I think if people wouldn't get on member's cases for reposting, we'd get better more quality info rather than just a race to be first. My 2 cents...

If its for race teams only how can you consider it for retail. Sounds like they fudged the system and did bare minimum to meat requirements. Cause that doesn't sound "available to the public".

For 26K I'd rather buy another FRS. Oh well so much for factory performance.

3rd thread on this today lol

I'll be in St. Pete on Saturday..hopefully I can get some pics of it.

That's consistent with TRD pricing.

This is the correct answer... but I still don't want it.

Its just that much fail.

if it was 26k yen it would translate into the cheapest supercharger kit i have ever heard of...$273.40 hell i would get 10

they must be doing some sort of spec racing that requires that kit. no racing team in their right mind would spend that by choice. they must have control over both the spec sheet for the intended racing series AND the price sheet for the parts required to build a spec car.

Wouldn't it be amazing if it was actually worth it? If it actually produced an extra 600hp or something crazy like that and we were all here bad mouthing it?

What?!? It could happen......

No spec release. You'd have to figure out the flow of the blower and do some math (I'm no engineer so...)

No engine management comes with it either, so you'd have to do your own fuel maps as well.

The price tag of $Ridiculous is likely due to its quality. RACE quality items are likely to be more durable/reliable than your usual street equivalents simply based on the fact that it is being run much harder than 'normal' use.

My friend checked the part number and it's not in the system yet. I hope $26,000 is a typing error.

I'm just waiting for someone to say Pre-April fools.

So all Toyota had to do to get around the race rules was have one of their invented subsidiaries (TRD) buy parts from Eaton, or whomever, put TRD badges on it, never test it for street-ability, and sell it for the price of the vehicle. Great, why do they even pretend to have rules or classes? I imagine all the other teams are pissed.

And people think race cars are cheap?
