Anyone have any experience with the PIVOT Raizen Hyper Voltage Stabilizer? Most people using it claim power gains.

I haven't post the write up for lack of time, but I'll try to see if tomorrow I get the pictures for it. it's not a pain at all, as long as you have the right stuff.

for now take a look at this picture, it'll keep you entertain while I work on the full write up.

That's ST front brake system, next to ST205 calipers + custom rotors installed on USDM strut tower


Interesting shot showing the difference between the two. Just for clarification...are the ST knuckle and GT knuckle (U.S.) the same?

wilwood would probably make you a custom rotor, but you have to give them the specs, so you have to calculate the offset where the calipers will fall, so the rotor is dead center on the caliper, also you need to give them the thickness of the disc, the diameter where it'll cover the pad and stuff. and after you get all this info, it'll cost you a pretty pennie.


I'll post my set-up this week, if you are interested, my rotors are not a 2 piece rotor, I have the traditional style one piece, but it'll save you from doing all this calculation, which I can say, is a pain. you'll also need spacers to clear the calipers depending on the wheels you have.


I can get you rotors + spacers that have great quality for our demands and are still affordable for everyone.



the metal piece that you describe can be ordered from the dealer, the part number is 47748-14080 Spring, anti-rattle No. 1


they cost ~ 10.00 from the dealer.

Good luck !

Thanks for the part number I really appreciate it. Posting the setup would be great, also if you can post a pic of the rotor too. I guess not a whole lot of people have put the GT4 rotors on the US spec celica, as it is a pain I suppose. I still wanna do mine even though they are a pain and because no one else has celica calipers -its kind of unique.

I recently purchased front calipers but need the parts to hold the pads in -not sure what its called. Not sure how to get them. Also looking for aluminum hat light weight slotted rotors to go with them. Has anyone done this conversion, and if so what's the easy way? Will the caliper just bolt on without any mods?


for aluminum hat ( basically a 2 peice custom rotor ) get ready to pay over 500 for one set, I can get you front rotors ( slotted, drilled, plain, or slotted + drilled ) that will fit with the set-up as well as the instructions needed to complete the job ( very simple modification if you know how to use a wrench )

if you're interested, let me know,

This is a custom rotor, design to work with ST205 calipers and McPherson suspension.


if you have a picture of the part you are missing, I can get you a part number for you to order it from the dealer.



This caliper has a different style clip to hold the pads in. I was looking into Wilwood rotors or something that looked like it, slotted and drilled with a black hat. Is the offset the same as the GT with just a larger diameter, or custom offset with the GT hubs? Sounds like you've done this before, thanks for your help.

TRD Supercharger! Its a straight bolt on kit for your car. It would be around 7-12psi and would be more then enough power for your corolla to have fun in. The kit cost around $5000(Estimate, may be cheaper).

Not a lot of turbo's will spool up that quick lol but something like my turbo (TD04H or something like that lol) witch spools at about 2,500rpm is a good small turbo to try. If your after instant response then get the Supercharger. Its a lot less hassle and it will give you boost as soon as you put the foot down.





A potential solution would be for Toyota to use the 2AZ-FE motor, and combine it with a TRD supercharger kit, available as an aftermarket package for the US market Scion tC. In the US, this kit takes the 2AZ-FE from 160hp (119kW) to 200hp (149kW), with a 13% gain in torque to roughly 246Nm. With 149kW and a kerb weight of 1,360kg, a supercharged 2.4L Corolla Sportivo would have a power-to-weight ratio of 113kW/tonne. Whilst this figure would provide quite rapid performance and compare favourably with other current models in the
Toyota range, the TRD issue arises. TRD’s marketing campaign revolves around the concept that TRD vehicles are “Toyota Supercharged”. Therefore the use of a supercharger on a non-TRD model would seem counter productive.




Scion tC TRD Supercharger Kit – www.superchargersonline.com

My question will this be possible to work with a 5sfe?


I was thinking along the same lines. Scion Parts is offering it at around 2k.

http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=78

add injectors, fuel pump and some custom brackets and piping maybe -not sure, hav'nt heard of anyone modifying it to fit in a celica. The other thing is the ECU. Been thinking about the ECU that Ripp Mods was offering with their kit. I wonder if they made the piggy back ECU in house or some other supplier made it for them. With so many 5S-FEs out there its kind of surprising no one has shoe-horned this blower in a celica or camry/solara.

The wa wa wa sounds familiar. I had wa wa sounds on the driver side and when I slowed down the wa wa slowed down too. I mostly got the wa wa's from turning. I got rid of mine by changing the anti-roll bar bushings in the front, the ones on the crossmember (cheap only about 10 bucks each -need 2 of em. When you change em check that the bar is centered. The anit-roll bar can really cause a lot of noise havoc I wacked my driver side wheel real hard a while back jumping a curb in the middle of a turn and I think I pushing the bar to one side. Change em' anyway , bushings get old and my turning response really improved -all because the old bushings were elongated.
