6G Celicas Forums

Hey guys,

It has been almost a year now since I have been without my celica. I thought I come back on here and update you guys on my car, and the status of my new ride. About 03/05 i got in a wreck with my 95 celica gt and i was on the verge of bein the first rippsmodd s/c celica too. But unfortunately my car was total and i couldnt find another celica in time for me so i purchased a 2002 civic hatchback si. In any case since that date to present I continue where i left off at my celica gt. I opt to find a company that was willing to make a kit for me using a centrifugal supercharger. As i wanted to be a poineer of being the first one to have a one of a kind kit (rippsmodd s/c kit). It took a whiles but i did find a company that made a kit using a centrifugal s/c. All thought it was intended to sale to the type r ( basically a civic si with a acura type s motor) in the uk. I purchased it anyways and fited it on my civic (if you guys are not aware of the differnt engine my stock motor is rated at 160hp and 140trq to the crank which is about 135whp 120trq). In any case after 11 months of modifying and changing thing this is the end results. I am currently making 266whp and 200trq, these are some picture of my engine set up, enjoy.

wow

Rotrex Supercharger unit (c30-84 centrifugal blower)
motec 3bar map sensor

nice... I love K20's. I have read about that supercharger... and it looks quite interesting from the pictures. Can't say I'm a fan of the intake manifold (or lack thereof) but being intercooled certainly is a nicer touch than the JR supercharger. I've done a JR supercharger before on an EP3 and I can't say I was really satisfied with the power that made versus my cousin's A2 powered EP3... but yours has made some great numbers... congrats.

i like the curves

looks cool, to bad its a civic tho :-(

i like it

very nice. good job

good job... post some pics of the whole cat too

if i were you, i would look into some type of hood scoop for that intercooler. i bet a stock wrx scopp would work well with your car.

Awesome! It's great seeing a Civic done right.
