hmm i didnt read anything about force induction other than future mods a blitz supercharger. i can only think he has done something seriously drastic to the motor or he is blowing smoke up our fourth point of contact.

this was posted on a toyota forum, and i honestly don't know how he is making the kind of power he is claiming with just those engine mods. IIRC don't stock echo's run like 19-20 sec. 1/4 mi. passes?? so he took off 6 sec. with intake, header, flywheel, lightened pulley, and 200cc injectors?? i wanna raise the B>S> flag too.....

As far as 1320 times go...a 13.9 "may" be a stretch....however, drag racing and auto-x/road course racing are 2 completely different animals.

I don't know the year model of that Echo, but the 2003 4 door weighs in at 2055 lbs, sporting 108 HP (MT). A little weight reduction and minimal to moderate increase in HP would make it a pretty quick little car.

Power/Weight Comparison

2003 Toyota Echo 4 door

(Weight/HP = # per HP)

2055 #/108 HP = 19.02 - Stock
2055 #/120 HP = 17.12
2055 #/130 HP = 15.80
2055 #/140 HP = 14.67

1955 #/108 HP = 18.10
1955 #/120 HP = 16.29
1955 #/130 HP = 15.03
1955 #/140 HP = 13.96

2004 Subaru Impreza WRX

3085 #/227 HP = 13.59 (13.16 @102.93 according to Motor Trend)

2005 Acura RL

3984 #/300 HP = 13.28 (15.2 @ 92.6 according to Edmunds.com)

2005 Ford Mustang GT

3425#/300 HP = 11.41 (13.9 @ 104 according to Ford Motor Company)

It's plain to see that #/HP ratios don't tell the whole story. Gearing, drivetrain loss, driver skill, track conditions, etc all play a part.

As far as that 13.9 goes.....

I calculated to turn a 13.99 1/4 pass (assuming 1955# car + 200 lb driver for 2155 total weight) the Echo would have to have roughly 155 HP at the wheels (175 ish @ the flywheel). I'm not saying that's not "possible"....however I would tend to echo (pun intended) 4080wrx's statement above.

My .02 cents....feel free to give change.

hello

I was bored too and found this on google...

I'm the owner of the echo you guys are talking about ...

13.9 in a quarter mile in my Echo LOL!!! I wish ... The best I could muster is 15.8@92mph before most of my major mods...

The 13.9 was a run I made long time ago in my Camry ...
this is the setup I ran 13's in Palmdale at 13psi...
