I was thinking about buying an SX6 or ZR6 but was wondering if it was possible to install the TRD eaton supercharger.. can someone please help me out here?

If you can obtain the factory bits and pieces (supercharger, manifold, intake, ecu just to name a couple) then it's a general consensus that yes, it's possible. However this is also a VERY expensive path, and for the gains it's not worth it.

Adding an aftermarket roots supercharger would be very similar, harder in some aspects but possibly cheaper.

I reckon the best bet would be turbocharging, as you'd have plenty of space where the current airbox setup sits to mount a turbo - but then you'd need to sort out the engine management.

Forced induction on these cars isn't impossible, but does require alot of $$$ and R&D.

Anything is possible... it just depends on how much money you have to spend. Personally, don't waste your money trying to put a the TRD Aurion supercharger onto a non-TRD. You would be better off just buying the TRD instead. Otherwise, use your money on a turbo setup.

You will be looking at at least $11,000 to get all the engine parts from Toyota to supercharge your 2GR in the same way as the TRD. The supercharger (minus the intake manifold) and the ECU together will set you back approximately $9,000.

I'd love to see a turbo aurion!! and even more so a TRD supercharged turbo aurion!!

one of the two must happen eventually.

To be honest I wouldn't want all that power in FWD.

as stated given time and money anything is possible ..... however what u will find is toyota will price the oem parts for the charger at a premium and it will work out a better deal to simply buy the TRD charged in the first place.

i highly doubt that a twin charged aurion will ever be attempted ...... far too much fiddling involved ..... but once again given time and money anything is possible

Wow, thanks guys. Yeah I'm prolly just better off with a stock zr6..

For the $56000 it's costs for a TRD I could prolly find something better value.

I'm a massive fan of the aurions though..

TRDs can be had in the low 30k bracket nowadays

No need to buy one new. As said above, you can pick up a 2nd hand one in good condition for much less than that. Just like BMW said:

Interesting & Informative find :D

My link

Supercharging does have it's merits and that guy certainly isn't wrong, but depending on what car you are boosting, each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Personally, a turbo setup is going to get your more for you dollar on the Aurion simply because it gives you more customisation.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
