I need some sugestions. I am going to get the Rip SuperCharger System. But what do you think i should do to my engine internally first. I am already going to get new seals, and pistons, what else do you think i should do. Also questions on intercooler. Does anyone have one, if so i want a front mount, i need one to fit with my veilside front bumper. what size and where to get it?

Hey, congrats on looking into the supercharger man. wink.gif Keep us all updated about how everything works out and dont be afraid to go that route....it looks and sounds like its an extremely well made system, and will be a really reliable upgrade im sure. I would get one too if i didnt have to spend money to fix the body of my car first. rolleyes.gif


EDIT- But pertaining to what you should upgrade before the supercharger goes on....ive read that the 5S-FE has a weak valvetrain, so i would either upgrade if possible or just replace valve springs and seals, etc. with new stock ones. Also, forged or high compression pistons and a metal head gasket would help secure the internals a little better, then throw in a lightened flywheel and racing clutch to help handle the extra power.
Then of course just make sure that the engine is running well to begin with before the supercharger goes on, with some fresh spark plugs, wires, and i would even put in some Royal Purple oil with a K&N filter, and some Redline Water Wetter into your coolant so nothing overheats. Sorry for the big list, but thats just exactly what i would do if i were you. After that, you should be more or less set to go. smile.gif
