5sfe Super Charger? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***Your Uncle Moe*** · 08-12-2007, 12:51 PM

Was googling some stuff for the 5sfe and came across this link on google containing this info:

Quote:

Ripp Mods has recently made a supercharger kit for the Camry 5sfe with an automatic transmission. They need a Celica to go to their shop to test fitment. Any one who lives in the New York area can call them at 718-442-4723. Keep in mind the Celica has to have the 5sfe and it does not matter what kind of transmission it has. www.rippmods.com

Anyone know more info on this? Or is this some kind of old news that Im an idiot for finding so late?

umm..considering the post date is Jul 7, 2003 - 8:26 PM

and RIPP already put out a SC for the 5s, and several memeber already have it. and RIPP has already abbandoned any new stages from the 5sSC

yeah id say its old news

but, ummm...nice try

Pretty old news, man.
You don't remember Shook with his sc?

I wonder whatever became of him. He had a nice setup going with his "ripped" 5S, with a complete engine build to support it.

Last I remember, he got into an accident but it was just body damage.
As was said though, it's been discontinued for a while.

Yukio had a show camry with the rippmods supercharger too.
It sucks that a lot of the decent aftermarket support for the camry community has fallen through the cracks. :-\

RIPP USED to make alot of good stuff for the 5SFE but like everybody else has said, most of it has sadly fallen through the cracks. I was recently looking for headers for my 5SFE and I checked if ripp mods still had theirs for sale, but NOPE NO MORE 5SFE AT ALL!

Venom_5 · 08-12-2007, 07:29 PM

^ bosal makes ceramic headers for our engine .... and bosal is about as good as you can get for any car, really

you can supercharge any engine with a third-party supercharger with enough $$ so even if Rippmods didnt make one, you could always get an Eaton or Jackson and strap it on if you want to go ahead and do all the work

but it wouldnt be any less work than turbocharging, and i believe the turbocharger would be a better setup in the end

that charger is nice and u can still find it around since 3 of the yota models used the 5s. there all used though.

Gridlyne, I am almost sure you were around when everyone was talking about ripmodds over a year ago

I have no idea. lol I was just floating around and found it. I dont pay the 4cyl much mind cuz I got a 1mz. I didn't even see the year 03 lol! I saw July and was like, "Oh this must be recent."

Sorry to bother you guys. I should have searched LOL!
