I still think it's the stupidest thing ever that toyota makes the car, then goes "whoops, we can't fit the s/c under the hood". There HAS to be a way they can make a s/c that fits with the stock hood. What's the fun if everyone on the road knows my mods with one look?

hmmm...not very fond of the idea of having a hole in my hood either...

you know what, its awesome, makes it more meaner, anyways, isaac, the cover for the S/C on the hood, can you buy it separetely? or custom made?

What does it come with? S/C, new ecu like the blitz for the GTS, does it take oil from the oil pan or is it self contained??????

yes, what else do we need for this supercharger?

they need to redesign the cover on that Satoshi like the one on the pics above

it looks like a huge zit on the hood of that Celica Satoshi posted. If I had a celica and bought that supercharger, I wouldn't want young punks pouring Clearsol all over my hood.

well the ones ice was showing had a different hood do you have any other pics of the hood isaac

Ahem...

Excuse me gentlemen, hate to keep asking the same question like a douchebag, but when will this be available to the everyday Joe Celica?

I don't think the new hood looks bad at all. The main problem is price. Not only with the Supercharger and its accessories already ring up a pretty penny, now we have to customize the hood. OUCH.

i think the new hood looks nice. the only problem will be the price, and it would be awesome if they made one in carbon fiber. only if i had the money, i would definitely want it.

as far as performance goes...i know the blitz supercharger comes with an intercooler. will adding a custom intercooler help with the performance?

Its not actually about adding a new hood... its about modifying the hood like how I've shown above, and using the bolt-on cowl as shown at the very top of this thread.

Alright, I give up...

WOW! what a cluster f*ck! The pix of the custom centrifigal s/c in the gallery looks a lot better and can be bought for around 2000 g's depending on where you get the pipes bent!

so the hood on the top is not made by trd?

the hood is genuine toyota parts - the cowl on the top is TRD

Good news for you 1zz owners!

isaac i kno you kno ur stuff, how much of there is a possibility that this will go under complete production? if so, how much do you think it will be for the kit + installation + the cowl on the top? im guessing around 5k.

That's the nicest celica I have ever seen

I want one

How about performance gain?

I don't care about the custome hood, I don't even care if i have to run without a hood, I just want a supercharger...

When can we buy one???

Anyone know...

wow, the hood doesn't look bad at all. very exciting for celi owners...

I like to see some higher res pictures of the hood, without the trdsource written all over them ...

Have you guys seen the numbers on this S/C?

TRD has them listed at 40HP and 38 FT LBS for the matrix.

If you get 50-60HP and 50 FT lbs, you'll be the same level as the GTS, and it will be a pretty penny.

I was hoping for like 230-240HP, maybe 250.

yup but TRD s/c are carb approved..and if it is 40lbs more of tq it will put the GT at 165lbs of tq...i think GTS is only 130lbs. 230-250 looks more like turbo numbers for the GT...but s/c are "to the belt" which means no "turbo lag" and a little quicker from a stop

yeah, but is that worth $4K? And the ugly hole in the hood.

I hope they can put this into the GTS somehow, THAT would be nice. More torque at the bottom end and 250HP

Too bad that will never happen. Hotchkis TVS, here I come!

to be honest we don't know the price yet...on some toyota sites they have the s/c at 2500 (this is for the 1zz corolla/matirx), even some local dealers here have s/c for tundras and such for only 19999...so unless we get an official price we can only look at what is already out from trd. the hole in the hood thing...well if it were up to me i'd just keep my oem hood and get another hood to put that trd s/c cover in. install shouldn't be too high since the trd s/c in a bolt on but again we still don't know. i wouldn't pay more than 500 for install though.

hotchkis wouldn't be a bad decision at all. if you can make your car turn inside an italian euro sports car more power to you ...lol- i could see enzo ferrari turning in his grave..lol

Official price for the 1ZZ-FE supercharger from TRD's site is $2995

http://www.trdsource.com/partsfirslts.php?model_detail_id=577&part_type_id=82&parts_id=208

for 2750

http://www.trdracing.com

for 2550

...cool huh? internet prices rule over official price

yeah, but $2500 for what kinda gains? That is also listed for the matrix/corrolla.

The GT engine is different, and might require some more expensive tuning.
