After reading the big topic on celica.net Im almost convinced on the supercharged 5s. "Go with the 3s blah blah blah". NO, anywho the rippmods sounds pretty awesome. Unlike the fabled 3s.. you get all NEW parts and direct plug and play. So if your even contemplating the do a swap reply, in your upper left hand hand corner of your screen is a "Back" button go ahead an press it. SC 5sfe at 190whp out of a box is pretty awesome.

Heh... amen to that. People don't realize that spending 2k on a clip doesn't mean that clip is gonna magically implant itself into their cars. It's not gonna be cheap, especially if you can't do your own work. I can start listing basic stuff and prices, which will easily exceed the price of the RIPPMODS s/c... but then it'll probably discourage many of the 'dreamers' out there. First off, yes, the 3sgte can handle more boost, but that does not mean the motor will be running maxed out when it's swapped. Typically speaking, most guys who have done the swap, keep the motor within fairly modest boost levels. 10-12 psi? Only a few people will swap and build that motor as high as they can. The s/c from RIPPMODs does seem very good, and they seem to be a reputable company. The thing that confirms this, with me, is the WARRANTEE. Most people here will be plenty happy with nearly 200 whp, the power the RIPPMOD s/c can help put out. I mean, it'll be so much more than a n/a 5sfe, noone's gonna care whether it can possibly be pushed harder. 190+ to the wheels = mid-high 14's in the 1/4 mile. Honestly speaking, a turbo motor putting 200whp will lose to a s/c motor putting 200whp in the 1/4 mile. All in all, when newbies come along and ask what mods are there that can make their 6th gens faster, the 3sgte is but a vague dream to most people. I mean, everyone here probably drives their celica on a daily basis. Swapping a motor can put a car out of comission for quite a bit of time. Just ask coomer if he's enjoying his excercise. There are other options. Of course, the 3sgte is a legendary motor, on and on, but practically speaking, it's not practical for anyone short of a person who really wants to build his car (kuya). If you want some quick power, why not the s/c. Power is power after all, right? |
