So, I bought my celica (1996 GT) 3 months ago. It's a blast to drive and I like it. I want to get a supercharger for it (NO TURBOS OR NOS) strictly supercharger. Any advice? Any suggestions?? Cost?? Mods needed?? Thanks!

First off, this should have been posted in the "Forced Induction" section of the forum, but since your new, no harm done. The only supercharger kit that was ever produced for the 5SFE was made by RIPP modifications. They used to run about $3800, but they didnt sell all that well, and RIPP has discontinued them. Ive heard from some people on the site back when ripp discontinued them that they would consider re-manufacturing them for a small bulk number, ie 15 or 20 kits, but other than that, i think your out of luck.

If you do want a bit more punch in your GT though, another option, even though you posted that your not interested in it, would be doing a 5SFTE setup. It would cost about the same to make a relaible kit as it would to buy a supercharger kit now, if you could find one. If done right, the 5SFTE setup can be extreamly relaible. Just take a look at Pressure2's car. Hes been running the same setup for over 2 years now with no issues.
