im sure some of you seen this already.. but for those that haven't , this is one mean biatch!!!

BRS Twin-Turbo Tundra Powered RWD xB

The title says it all for this one. BRS’ Leigh Guarnieri has outdone himself, and that’s saying quite a bit since his turbocharged Honda Fit was a big hit at last year’s SEMA Show. Using mounts provided by K2 Motoring, some ingenuity and a sprinkling of divine inspiration, Guarnieri shoehorned a 4.7-liter Tundra V8 into the diminutive xB. The built V8 is boosted by a Peak Boost GT35-R-based turbo kit that positions the turbos right next to the headlight assemblies. Tuning is handled by an AEM EMS engine management system. The VIP Forged Alloy wheels are temporary as the final products will measure a staggering 20x15 and 20x20 with huge lip. Wilwood six-piston calipers and 15-inch rotors are in charge of halting the humongous Pirelli gumballs. The Scion has been converted to rear-wheel drive with a Ford 9-inch rear-end and custom four-link suspension set-up. Too bad all the Scion could do was sit in Mobil 1’s booth because this monster would be something to see at the strip or on the drift.

What are the odds of hearing the words "Let's do it" come out of the mouth of a woman dressed and looking like that when she's talking to you!?! :crazy:

It can only be done because of the HUGE wide-body kit.

It's not by any means a "huge widebody kit" it's more of riveted fender flares. & the car is definitely not going to be seen on the road. 20x20? I'm pretty sure Leigh told me it's going to be a 10" lip. That'll be next to impossible to touch the street. My tC with a 6 inch lip (which btw has the same wheels as pictured above) & my car is BARELY street driveable and I'm only a 20x13.

Whether the fender flares are riveted on or not, they're blended into the front & rear bumpers and rocker panels...
to me that's a widebody kit, and it's advertised as a widebody kit.
IMHO any time a widebody kit extends the width 6" on each side of the vehicle it's huge...
but that's just my perception, and you obviously don't have to agree.

BTW, I've seen the pics of your tC; one of the nicest out there! :bow:

I was there when they did that interview. She was just as hot in person as in the video.

That xB is very bad a$$. I looked at that thing over and over during SEMA.

Can I do a similar mod with a engine swap. Maybe not 1100 hp but I was thinking close to 800 hp.

:rofl: :clap: Did anybody else notice that both of them screwed up, when she was talking about the green cobalt that’s actually a 5 door chevy aveo and he calls the tundra motor a 5.7 and it is actually a 4.7 you would think if your at SEMA doing a interview on TV you would know what you are talking about
