It shouldn't matter if you have stronger internals than stock, the 8-10 psi of the supercharger shouldnt be too hard on internals.
I would say that its a good route to go for somebody with a 5SFE thats got low mileage or a recent rebuild, especially since you'll have factory support from a company who has done very well amongst other commuities, which is an advantage over a swap or custom turbo setup. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

I'm almost positive that they start you with 8psi in the kit with an option of a pulley upgrade which brings things to about 10 psi.
Anybody feel free to correct me, but I believe thats what I remember their site saying last time I checked. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

i think the package comes with a pulley that gives you 9-11 psi, but if you talk to them you can get a lesser or bigger pulley to run either below 8 psi or above 12

ripmods SC kits come in stages ie: stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4
all different boost levels but each one cost $$$$ |

sounds like a good idea jen, i was looking into that same route too. Im still debating on if i wanna du a SC or a 3s swap, for me its gonna cost about the same. 3s are hard 2 find up here. But yea, ur probably gonna get the kit b4 i can afford it. Let me know how it goes/what #'s u pull.

Somebody has to do it....right now. If my ancient motor wouldnt need replacing by doing such an upgrade then I would have done it long before now.
By far the best option for the 5SFE, I think...so do it. Its money well spent for a very worthy upgrade that will be reliable as well as backed by a reputable company.  PS- I'm almost taking my own advice and seriously considering doing this myself...
