Sweet Looks like a pretty nice kit from the looks of things.

does it say anywhere what kind of boost the kit produces? cost?

it says somwhere on the site the gains from it...i *think* it puts you around 200whp or so, im not sure though...its PRICEY though..3500..although it seems like a very complete kit..

it ads 100whp and there is no info on how much boost it makes. it is also not intercooled

and lets not forget

THAT IS MADE FOR THE CAMRY!

it may or may not work on a celica GT

QUOTE

The system (Camry) is running super smooth, the auto car makes good power although we have not been to the Dyno yet, as we are waiting for an over drive pulley to bring the boost up a little. Its feels stronger than the 188whp Mitsu Galant we put together some time ago. Power comes on real strong right around 3200rpms and keeps pulling all the way to red line. We wouldn't need you to come all the way from MA for just a look, I'm sure if you are part of a web group, you can suggest to a fellow member to take a stop by. Then if all goes well we can discuss installation as it may be. As for AIM we are limited to E mails, and time, we have several projects going at this time, the future SDS (Supercharger Drive System) include: Lancer (base model auto/5spd), 3000GT. SOHC Auto/5spd, Toyota Camry or rather 5sfe powered cars, and, of course, Mitsubishi 6G72 and 4G64 powered cars. We would like to add another group to our growing list of SDS customers, and I'm sure you and your fellow Celica owners would love upwards of 200WHP driving around.

that is the reply that i got for them this morning about it....they need someone from the area to check for hood clearance for the celica GT.

wow that's kinda expensive, I think I'll just build my own turbo for dial up boost

Anyone can put together a simply turbo kit.

One of the major problems with such kits is getting the header build.

All other piping can be piece together.

Once you can find a shop that can do your header or turbo manifold, most probably, there can do everything for you.

It is very easy.

My advice to any is to try reading some car magazines for ome ideas.

That is my advice.

Right now, I would love to turbocharge my subaru, but my problem is the car is carb. with no fuel injection. Also the car is an 1986 model. So in my eyes, it does not worth it to some point.

would anyone from the NY area be willing to go over there so they can have a look and check for hood clearance??
i dont wanna have to drive to ny from ma just for them to look at my engine..

yea i agree with idontgotta. that seems weird for me to say that.

anyway. the burien kit is 2500 hmmm....

both same hp. 1000 less. more boost capabilities

bumP nobody has gone there yet?

Matthew...not same hp. The Burien kit if you read it carefully it gives you a bump of just about 50 whp. The stock GT has 130/135 hp...at he crank. Most stock GTs right now will run about 95-100 at the wheels...so it's really only putting you at about 150whp and that translates to around 180-190 hp at the crank. This supercharger kit puts you at 200whp supposively. This puts you at a better deal dollar per hp than the Burien kit. $35 per hp compared to $50 per hp with the Burien (For those that need the math: $3500/100hp = $35 per hp ::: $2500/50hp = $50 per hp)

Also, the only reason it might not work for our cars is the fitment factor. If I were in the area and wasn't planning on selling my Celica...I would go for a fitment test so we can know for sure. I'm not promotoing or burning this kit, it's just another option for someone that doesn't have all the knowledge and time to install and create their own kit.

jeez.. its prolly running at around 10psi-12psi. wow, 100more hp at the wheels, thats pretty good, hey its almost equal to a 3sgte, alittle less (most likely) then a swap, i'd be a good idea if you'd want to stay at around 200whp or around 250hp at the crank

Kind of an old topic, but if it is running boost that high, you'd have to be asking for some damage.. especially with no IC. Also I'm pretty sure you'd get ok clearance with that going by the picture.

wow really bringin this one back from the dead!!...haha anyway, fitment is no longer an issue, it WILL fit..

Damn, somebody please buy this kit, its a great deal. I'm pretty confident that it would run more reliably than most turbo set-ups....sure it costs more than a custom turbo, but you a get a legitimately manufactured and tested unit that is made to excellent quality standards. Everything is well-controlled by their "Black Box", which produces a carefully tuned fuel curve and spark timing, in conjunction with the Walbro fuel pump that comes with it to ensure you never go lean.

Besides, this is why Toyota puts supercharger kits on lots of their engines as dealership installed options instead of turbo....its easier on the engine and usually are instaled with just a properly tuned fuel system consisting of a higher capacity fuel pump and larger injectors. I'm sure the same goes for the 5S-FE, and it could handle this kit no problem at all.

If I had the money to spend on my engine instead of repairing the body, i would be picking up this kit in Staten Island tommorrow. I think anyone considering a swap should seriously codiser this first, and im sure they wouldnt regret it.

Might be something for me to consider, how much torque does it add though? I want to feel fast more than go fast. I'm leaning towards more of a show car than a speed car.

But I want a little something to get past traffic.

Do a search on the forums, guys. There was a regular member on here last summer who went to NY to have the same kit fit on his Celica and he's never been heard from since (or maybe I just forgot his name).

yeah, i remember that! He was a vert owner from Chicago... Hyperkill or something like that. What did happen with that?
