Ditch the graphics and lower it a bit and it will look great. I really like those "Demon Eyes" too.Have you thought about adding a SRI or CAI to make that supercharger scream? I was running a blower on my 1zz Corolla and all I had was a SRI at first and the whine was so loud, Once I added a Magnaflow catback it kind of took away from how loud the whine initially was but the performance gain is what I was looking for.
The graphics are gone and ive lowered it to where i want it lol. Love how this car is right now. Trying to hold off on putting any more in it lol. I was gunna use my CAI w/ the S/C but ive read itll throw a code somewhere. So im just running a drop in K&N. Thinking about a dc sport header next but im not sure. Dont have money laying around to get one >.<
Are you running the TRD ECU that comes with the supercharger fit kit? If so it runs really "rich" so i'm actually surprised that a CAI would throw a lean code like that. If you switch out to an E-Manage Blue or Ultimate or something similar you can probably avoid that issue but by then the money you would spend for the little bit of hp and extra boost it may not be worth it to you.
Looking good Makes my Plain Jane Vibe look like Poop!Also, I ran my CAI with the factory ECU for a year before installing the Unichip any never threw a CEL....It actually helped lean out the ridiculously rich AFR a bit.
I do have the trd chip w/ it. I may put my cai back on but idk lol. Just thought id run the drop in for a bit lol. I put a crap load of money into the car last year and I need to back off. I just get bored when I'm not at college or work and I get online and search for stuff lol..

I put the breaks on my modding awhile ago too. Kids, mortgage etc etc... Figure I'll do the exhaust eventually...when the current one falls off!
how hard was it to put the supercharger in and what all did you have to change engine wise? What did it bump the horsepower up to? Which is better a super charger or turbos. How long was you car down when you were putting you s/c in?I am just curious becuase I want to turbo mine. I have point to prove to the husband one of these days after I figure out what kind of mods I want to do. And that point would be that my Vibe will kick his stock Gt (removed) on the track. Only after I have the mods done.

And i didnt paint the headlights. Got them from keithvibe here on the site. i believe he just removed the reflective piece from behind the bulb, Quote, originally posted by Meagan »how hard was it to put the supercharger in and what all did you have to change engine wise?

Only after I have the mods done.and as much as i would love to say i installed the S/C i didnt. I read over everything and looked up everything and talked it over with my mechanic and i ended up just having him do it for me. Took him about 2 days. I thought it was going to be gone longer but hes qucik with his work. and i couldnt tell you the exact horsepower but im planning on gettin a dyno done soon. just got my header put in and im fixing to get my exhaust soon. but only down sinde is that the supercharger for the vibe is discontinued. youd be better off getting a turbo build
well the graphics arent on it anymore. took em off about 3 or 4 months ago. and the light is on the metal bar thats right behind and above the grill. ill try to shoot a pic of it soon
