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.

Don't agree so whole heartedly on that website's ideas. First off, you can't use gze pistons with the 20v head. Custom forged rods range between 500 (cheap) and 1000 easily. Even with just the 7AGTE set-up, as planned (minus the 20v head cause that's kinda impossible with gze pistons) you still can't safely boost that high because of the crank. You've yet to mention what can be done to the crank... and typically, a custon foged crank can mean $$$. Then again, the stock crank can probably take 10 psi fairly reliably. Beyond that, you're pushing your luck. The hybrid build, with the GE head on the 7A block will mean custom ECU and fuel maps, and possibly electrical and sensor work. After all of that, you'll still need a custom turbo kit, IC piping, oil lines, tuning, and so on and so forth. The normal build (gze pistons in 7AFE motor) will only need custom rods... so I'll say that set-up shouldn't be too difficult. I'll ask now FallenHero... not to bash the 7AFE, or you, but can you do this sort of custom work alone? I for one can handle everything mechanical and most of the electrical, minus the custom ecu, fuel map reprogramming and such, custom machining, etc. Even I, would not try this mod because of all of the obstacles that it comes with. I drive my car on a daily basis (as do probably 90% of the people here), and cannot afford, nor have the time to plan something like this. I'm sure a very dedicated mechanical engineer or shop guy can muster out a project like this, or something similar, however, simply turbo charging the 7AFE as is, will put similar power results with less than 1/10 of the headache. Hybrid build... I would estimate can cost around 4k+ (including custom turbo kit) with self-labor. With shop labor, even more. Turboing the 7AFE can cost around 1-2+ grand self-built.
