6G Celicas Forums

Just waiting on some funds to collect. I just spent a large amount of money on the blower, building materials as well as a new Miller welder. (the welder is sweet. Has a 12hp generator attached to it mounted in the back of my new truck)

I am flying across the country for a week or two in early december and taking care of some unfinished business back in Arizona, and then i'll be back and I expect some good progess in early January and maybe a complete kit in mid-late January. No promises.

Yes sir. That is my idea. Years ago when building up street cars I was forced to buy kits and prefabbed parts which were expensive and required you to buy EVERYTHING whether you needed it or not. Now that I have a shop full of equipment (TIG/MIG welders, plasma cutters, grinders, every saw and air tool etc...) I can create the stuff I wished others would create long ago. You see eye to eye with me.

I like the centrif. blowers because they are true compressors, they are lighter, smaller, have less parasitic loss and create less heat. Yes, the Eaton is a positive displacement blower. Very similar to a twin screw but is actually a roots blower.

Hey, your from Central Valley? I used to go up there every year to fish Lake Shasta and Lake Trinity. I lived in San Jose, California for almost 20 years before I moved to Texas, then Arizona, then to where I live now in Washington.

That is a beautiful and simple kit there. Is that your car? Looks very nice. If the cost of centrif. blowers were not so high I would go this route in a heartbeat.

Do you act this way to everybody who tries to develop aftermarket for your car?

Are you kidding me? I have been tuning F/I cars for years, I have built and owned 2 supercharged and 2 turbocharged cars (all were boosted by myself). If you are going to belittle my ideas or myself, you better have some good reasons to back it up or just shut your mouth, sit back in that computer chair of yours and continue to be an assuming idiot TO YOURSELF. I didn't come on here to deal with people like you which is why I stopped surfing forums over a year ago. I only came on here and had my friend do the same to guage the interest of the community and hopefully develop a quality and cost efficient product for the Celicas. From what I have learned about the Celica community thus far is good aftermarket parts are scarce. And the few available are overpriced.

Instead of telling me I don't know enough. Point out what you think I don't know and teach me. (since you must know sooooo much to be able to tell that I don't know enough based off reading a couple posts of mine) Instead of trying to start a flame thread.

Hey, fuel control is initially going to be up to the customer. The first kit developed will be simply mounts/driveshaft/supercharger being optional to the customer/pipes. After this I will be sourcing suppliers for the sequential blowoff valves, FMU and other parts.

What do you mean about the SC reaching settings on a stand alone? You just tune the standalone to the supercharger. Does the Celica have a MAP sensor? (I am not too familiar with the celicas which is why I am working along side with Ian as he is supplying me with the technical information about the vehicle itself) If so every standalone ecu ever created will tune off a MAP sensor. If you don't have one stock, then they run around $50 new and can be put into any vacuum line and hooked to a standalone.

Way too big of a unit! The m45 is designed by eaton to flow well on a 2.0L-3.0L motor. Even the m62 is too big, designed for 2.5L-4.0L motors. The m90 is for 3.0L-5.0L motors! I have seen these units used for Mazda 2.5L motors and they were OVERKILL. They made power, but were just way oversized. These are also HUGE units. Heavy, hard to turn, and flow insane amounts in relation to the m45. It's like putting a t72 turbo on a Celica. It can be done, people put then on hondas, but those hondas are fully built and designed to HANDLE the 30psi+ and 650hp+.

Hello. I am the friend of Ian who started this post. Like he explained, I am in the process of building a supercharger kit on Ian's celica.

Here is a briefing on what will be in this kit and what is currently developed so far.

The kit will be a shaft driven system with the supercharger located behind the battery.

The supercharger itself will be an Eaton m45 supercharger with an electric clutch sourced off of 99-2003 Mercedes 2.3l Kompressor engines. This particular supercharger is more commonly referred to as a m62, but is in fact an m45. This same unit has made a proven 350hp+ on a 2.5L Mazda KL03 motor. (a very high reving 7k+ redline (7500 with the j-spec) motor used in Mx6's and Ford Probes) The superchargers will be repacked, oiled and inspected. I will also be selling the kit WITHOUT the blower for those who want to purchase their own off of ebay or search for one in a wrecking yard.

Included with the kit will be belts, pulley's, mounts, intake plumbing (with optional water to air intercooler, aka aftercooler), sequential blowoff valves, and a switch to turn the supercharger on and off.

Some of the options I am planning are:
5th injector with injector controller
Inline fuel pump rated at 190-255lph
Intercooler
S-AFC calibrating (optimal settings printout with an S-AFC tuned to the boost with a map sensor)

From what I have seen with looking under the hood of the test celica, the kit should be a 2-4 hour install for anyone familiar with working on celicas. The install will be similar and only slightly longer than a cold air intake and belt install.



I have already developed the shaft system and idler, the supercharger outlet and inlet manifolds. The brackets are currently being built and I am sourcing for some parts right now to make the kit complete.

I am new to this board and do not know the limitations on free advertising of products, so I will not throw out any prices, but expect it to be HALF the price of almost any other big company supercharger kit for any import.

One thing I would like to point out is that I do not own a full machine shop and this kit will be entirely fabricated with cutting/welding/grinding etc so do not expect polished billet aluminum CNC'd parts. However, I will do everything I can to develop an asthetically pleasing kit, reliable and functional.
