Swampy442 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Well its an interesting idea... You can suoercharge the 1UZ v8, so why not the 2jz? Obviously its not just bolt on and go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You can supercharge pretty much anything but i dont think it would be cost effective, speak with Mark @ rapid i rekon he would take one on but i think you would be looking at about 7k. http://www.rapid-gb.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 It's all good banter. It also explains why I still have a clean licence..... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hmmmm... Interesting, aside from the fact that one is a bit tired looks wise...it would work WITH the correct ancillaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 What would you need then, not that I'm thinking of it.... Same as going NA-T really...ecu...that sort of thing. Like a tubby it is just another variation of forced induction. Superchargers are a little more subtle compared to tubbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 easily getting over 150 BHP+, making it a hell of a lot quicker than a twin turbo Toyota supra wouldnt that be just BPU power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You'd get away with a cheap piggy back unit with that and slinging in some stock 550's. The power would not be awesome but you'd get a hell of a lot more oomph out of it from alot lower down the rev range making it alot nippier in town. Thats a worm gear eaton type of charger by the looks of it which are not notorius for flowing huge volumes of charge but are incredibly powerfull from low down. You'd expect to see one of these mounted on your inlet manifold as close to the charge airs point of entrance into the engine as possible not strapped down in lieu of the air con pump. You'd also be losing your air con. The biggest cost and ball ache with this one would be the pipework and intercooling and the routing of said items. And I agree with gav its a tad shabby looking isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Oh yeah it looks like sh!t. I am just thinking of ways of getting more out of my NA low down. I am not interested in speeds over a ton anyway as I would like to keep my licence... Food for thought for me though! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Since that's off (AFAIK) a 1.6 or 2-litre 4 it might be a bit small for a 3-litre 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock 550's wont fit a NA rail, i think boostlogic do some drop in injectors for the NA though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Well it's an interesting idea... You can supercharge the 1UZ V8, so why not the 2JZ? Obviously it's not just bolt on and goSo much easier with a V8, though, even a 1UZ, because you can mount it in the "V".... and you can buy a manifold off the (antipodean) shelf.

dangerous brain Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Stock 550's wont fit a NA rail, i think boostlogic do some drop in injectors for the NA though:) Ah you are right but don't the turbo MK3 injectors fit and deliver better fuel? Ah yes in fact thinking about it the NA has 380's and the mk3 tubby has 440's that slot straight into the rail???? A supercharger is in fact what you are looking for chappy but there is yet to be an off the shelf package designed. When shane (I think its shane) has finished his maybe you could blueprint that setup from him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When shane (I think its shane) has finished his maybe you could blueprint that setup from him? __________________ Only just seen this thread as I have been a bit tied up with other stuff of late, new bird, dad dying, promotion/new position at work, Corsa dying, teenage son giving me grief etc.. But I have very recently had the broken shaft on my charger repaired and am planning if the weather is good next weekend to start playing again with it. We discovered that the height of the shaft support bearing was just over 10thou out which is me th most likely cause of the shaft shearing last year. All shimmed up now and ready to go. Regarding the Ebay one shown here, I am not sure if it would produce that enough boost to be that beneficial if it was designed for a 2 litre, depends on how much boost it was producing on that I guess, but that would be my main concern. But, the idea of fitting it where the AC pump lives is one I looked at and would have have preffered on mine, but there was no way I could have got it in.
