yes, it will fit.

Ripps no longer makes the SC for the 5sfe. There was a resurgence of intrest in it about 6 months or so. I emailed and asked them about it. They said that when it was made, there was little interest in it, so they discontinued the program, but they could restart it if there were at least 5 people interested enough to put a down a downpayment.

dont they want like 3k for the damn thing?? what a waste, im glad they got rid of the program.

I don't actually think they ever really made the kit for the 6th. I am buying the camry kit. I just need the stage one, I can upgrade it later when I do a rebuild or buy a newer engine. Should be a simple swap to
from camry to celica. I'm not after crazy horsepower at the moment. I'm happy with 190-225 I did aome research into it, and the install seems do-able. I'll keep everybody posted.

you do realize that is 100% more power then the motor does stock, right? i just think its funny when people say they dont want a lot of HP, and then say they want to doubble their current output. thats a lot of power and a big goal !

art...manny makes that much...

and rippmods is a full copmlete kit with everything needed

plus i met one of their sponsered cars with a stage 3 in a 3rd gen eclipse...when i met her it was competing for worlds fastest 3rd gen eclipse

[madmods]

in't this the sme amount of horsepower you get with 5-7 pounds of boost with a 5sfte? I don't know what my car puts out stock, I'd like to do a pre dyno run and a compression check after I get my clutch put in. My motor has some mileage on it so I'm going to baby it till I can buy another one, or get a rebuild.

[playr158]

SC boost is bigger then turbo boost

so a higher turbo psi = lower SC psi

[madmods]

I thought Shin made like 225 after his first dyno run?

lol, i know how much manny makes.
im not saying what can be done or cant. just trying to say that its silly to say you only want a mild power gain, when in fact you are looking to doubble the power level the motor was built for from the factory.

I consider 190-225 a mild power gain. Its 255-325 I consider extreme. Sure I would like to have alot of power one day, but it takes money for a rebuild and forged parts. It will happen, I see what it did to Manny

lagos, what are you talking about?

"I'm not after crazy horsepower at the moment."

He never said anything about how much gain he wanted, just that he wasn't looking for a HUGE AMOUNT of horsepower. And I think everyone will agree that 190-225 is usually not considered "crazy horsepower".

[elvasoshexai]

190-225 to the wheels or crank?

cuz i think i remember reading somewhere that the rippmods site has some discrepancies about the 5s sc... something like on the product page it shows whp when it's actually @ the crank...

[lagos]

And I think everyone will agree that 190-225 is usually not considered "crazy horsepower".

it IS crazy horsepower for a high compression, ecnomy, motor with bone stock internals and a factory ecu.

its kind of like saying you want to take a bone stock 300hp STI, and make a mild 600hp out of it. thats doubble what it was ever built to do.

i think people make a mistake when they dont think about what motor they are starting from and just think about wheel power or psi. you should look at it in terms of % above what the stock motor was built to do. a mild gain would be 10-50% of what the stock motor was built for. while an extreme gain would be 80% and up.

[playr158]

meh thats baby hp to me

this is very true look at the 7afte running a 170 whp over the stock 92 whp this big gain. Even if i only hit 350 whp on the 7agte thats 258 whp over stock that 3+ times more power than it started with. 200 whp my not seem like alot with super cars running around with 600 700 1000 horse but most of those cars started at 250-300 horse so there only doing what we did doubling our horse power with some exclustions like supra's with 1000 plus whp. But on our little cars and unknown motors ans no factory support i think we did very well. Its big i think 250whp is perfect for daily driven celica its more power than the celica needs but thats me but nice to have if you need it on the highway traction is always a factory in FWD cars always will be i think that point is aroun the 250whp point after that its useless power until you get traction like in the upper gears like when on the high way or toward the middle end of the 1/4 mile

I understand too... but goddamn people aren't gonna listen or open their minds to understand... so why bother? I'm willing to bet a vast majority of the 'future' swappers have NEVER driven a lightweight 200whp+ car... so they can say 'mild' all they want. There's nothing mild about 195-225 hp in a 2500 pounds car.
