New guy with a I-4

by **Guest** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 11:24 pm

Hi People I'm new, I got a 00 Solara Auto I-4. If I would have known then what I know now I would have gotten the V6, but we all learn lessons. I've got my car done up with a sound system and neons, I will have pics up at car domain within the next month. Just wanted to say HI! and I'm hoping to learn some things about making my I :fadein:

4 a little quicker. It's nice to meet everyone! :wink:

Couple suggestions. Register a nick so we can tell who you are. Also, introductions should go in the introduction category. They're there for a reason! Other than that welcome to the boards.

Start with the basic breather mods, less an intake, as if you supercharge you won't be able to use it. Then get the Ripp Supercharger. There is no "cheap" way to make power with a 5S, but it can be effectively done. If you don't want to deal with boost, there are all motor kits available, but I think that the supercharger is the way to go. Oh yeah, welcome to the boards. Be proud of your 5S, it’s an efficient, and reliable motor

.

Really, it has been discussed before, but just for posterities sake, do the suspension first. It'll make you faster, and you’ll look better

He can buy Joseph's custom turbo (if it's still for sale) =P

I know this is a stupid question, But Ripp Mods has a S/C for the I-4? Or is is a Turbo? How would I get in touch with the turbo for sale?

by **kubi** » Fri Dec 05, 2003 5:51 pm

Ripp mods has a supercharger. At the moment all the turbos are custom built to the best of my knowledge.

http://trdnw.com/cat_turbo.html - For a halfway turbo kit.

IMHO Supercharging is a much better option - http://www.rippmods.com

Good luck either way
