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.

Neverstop is dead on correct. In my case:

A. I live in MD a swap in general will raise flags.(Turbo/SC as well)
B. I have an auto( a auto to manual swap is out of the question)
C. No one around here(150 mile radius) is near competent enough to this swap.
D. Afraid of the B.S. that comes with aquiring a motor(from the condition too not waiting 6 months+install down time)
E. If something need repair in the 3s(im not mechanically enclined) Toyota i know will charge quiet a bit to repair.
F. Wiring the motor correctly.

I know as much as it SOUNDS Im against the 3s swap its a golden engine that has much potential but it just wasnt desingned to fit in the USDM shells. I wish I could do it and not spend more than 5k but its not possible for my application and thats why im for applying forced induction on my car. I am fully aware of the consequences and repracutions but I believe if it is well planned and thought out and above all installed and tuned correctly it will run for a good while without problems. But me, Im not looking to shatter any records or really boost past 200HP becuase If I was i would just buy a new car that has the potential but I like my car and just want to add a little pepp in her step. A swap is good but like said its not for everyone. Do what you can and do it right.
