Have read some interesting things in various threads in this club. Today I spoke with a Toyota parts rep who informed me that the TRD superchargers are still available and parts for them and not just for Aurion TRD owners. Would someone like to clarify this information as I have read that they are no longer made yet this rep insists they are available and will be for some time yet. Also from the same gent TDR body kits are available to anyone not specifically TRD owners. He believes that 'some' Toyota dealer's may be reluctant to place order's as apparently the kits though available are hard to get. What's the spin chap's??

Can't comment on whether the specific build of the supercharger is still being made since there is no need for it, but the R1320 which the TRD supercharger pretty much is (just a variation of it) is still being produced. Toyota would surely still have stock so I have no doubt that the TRD specific one is still available . Be prepared to pay lots of money if you choose to go down that route.

Dealers at first may have been a little bit picky on supplying parts to non-TRD owners, but I guess that has just died down over the years. If the rep you spoke with is willing to supply, then that's the answer... you can obtain them.

Thank's Boris. I suppose I could be looking around $8-10 grand but as I have read probably cheaper to just buy a TRD huh.

toyota must keep enough stock on hand to adequately fulfill the warrantable needs of its previous sales plus i think by consumer law there is a period of time that they must continue to maintain stock of parts .... i think its something like 10yrs from the point that they stop selling the product parts must still be available or something like that.

i have read into this, i am a toyota qualified mechanic, im also looking into supercharging my zr6, for my price its 5.2k for the supercharger gen, getting it aint a problem but it 5k just for the supercharger, you need the patching harness, TRD ecu, breathers etc list goes on, DO NOT GET GEN! its a harrop supercharger, friend of mine thinks you can go to a specialised harrop dealer and get a kit for little over 5k, will be looking into it and letting you know :)

also not cheaper for me to just buy trd, i like my car and mods :) plus prob can only get 20k for my car at 80k kms, 5k for a charger, and trds are still going for 35k plus.

That's all well and good, but you don't need to factor in labour unlike some of the people attempting the task.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
