How long until we get the first turbo '09 vibe?

Post by wyatt89 »

They make plenty of TC turbo/super kits so I wouldn't think that it would take too long to see a vibe or trix boosted. People have got about 450 hp on stock internals on the 2.4...that would be pretty intense, especially if you got it done on one of the new awd's :DAnybody with a new one planning on some FI soon?

This is super weird, wonder if any trix owners have SC'd it. You'd think some mod freak would of done a 2.4 SC on a trix/vibe by now.

Nah,still too early yet.But a few have mentioned it.I think a s/c'ed 2.4 would be a good combo.It'll happen,but it's just when.

Well, I would probably say at least 2 years until that happens. I can't even imagine seeing any of them modified for like another year and that's if they develop any after market parts for them faster than they did our body styles.BTW, you can call me half empty

I wouldn't think it would be that hard to make one if they already have all the data gathered from making kits for the tc...shouldn't be much different...two years seems like a long time

Whats about the centrifugal blower they have for the Tc? Isn't it the same engine as the good old Camry and Tc?

I didn't think they were using the same engines as the TC's and Camry's anymore in the 09 Vibe?
