The supercharger is already available here in Europe, well so it sais on the blitz.co.uk site :) They include an ECU with it.
It increases the power to 240bhp @ 7600rpm and increases torque to 246 Nm @ 4000rpm. Costs around 9500 US$

I called Blitz-NA here in California and the sales-rep told me that it will be available in 2 months.

Ouch! The price in England is horrible. In Japan, they sell it for the equivalent of $4500.

[Baldhead_J]

Holy Christ that think is beautiful! Can we run it without doing internal mods (i.e. rods/pistons)?

[Tony01Gts]

I heard they lowered the price on europe and it was equal to about $4000 US. You can get a nice used car for $9500!

[Baldhead_J]

Wait a second...$9500? No wonder it's gorgeous. Who can afford that?

[PorkchopSpecblue GT-S]

They said that its gonna cost somewhere around 6k for that. If its going to include a new ECU. They are still debating that right now though. He did tell me in 2 months it should be out.

[Tony01Gts]

I'll believe it when I see it!

[larryd]

for 6g's I wouldnt expect to see to many Blitz powered Celicas

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

6000 bucks for 50hp... YIKES!

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

BTW... $6000 is a nice Down payment on a Turbo'd car. Honestly dont think that is too reasonable of a price... just my IMHO.

[larryd]

6000 is enuf $$ to buy a 1st gen DSM turbo AWD, fix it up nicely and build it to run 11s :)

[Tony01Gts]

Isn't it true they dropped the price in europe to the equivalent of $4200 US?

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

I doubt it. Its all specualtion at this point. The only known fact is it dosent work on the American ECU... I know this straight from a Blitz Prototype car. The cars just dont start. Until they can figure that out... there is no price. The SH!T about it is... if they have to do more computer adjustments or add an ECU or piggyback unit... look for the price to jump. Also guys dont forget... whatever the price of the kit is plus taking it somewhere and getting it tuned, all the proper monitoring equipment IE gauges, etc. The kit is only the beggining.

[Tony01Gts]

Yeah even though this looks like the most reliable kit in terms of engine longevity, its gonna be out of everyone's price range.

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

How can we prove how reliable it is? Not being an ass just devils advocate.

[00CericaRuss]

just think though....

a s/c on an incredible handling car like ours? *drool*

seriously... our cars may not be the fastest, but we can corner like bastards!

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

Dayam straight.

[Tony01Gts]

I'm not saying that the "blitz" s/c will be reliable, just that s/c vs. turbocharger is better for the car in the long run.

On the same note, how can you prove that the WC Toyota turbo kit for the GT will be reliable?;)
