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.

Not worth it. If you are looking to do that. Buy a TRD instead as it might even come cheaper then modding or buy a car for your taste thats faster like XR6 turbo. Those things goooo.

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..

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.

      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.
