Should I Supercharge an Automatic v6?

[firetridagger]

Been wanting to supercharge my V6 1994 camry is it worth it though ?
How much would it cost approx ?

Turbo > Super

I wouldn't spend less than $2500 on a turbo setup but it could certainly be done.

It will be virtually impossible to find a supercharger or so I've heard over and over. And with the V6 I think the plumbing would be pretty damned expensive

Turbo is cheaper. Its near impossible to find the supercharger... plus if you do find it its supposed to be expensive. 2k+ i think

If you do go turbo... find a really good shop thats willing to do the work or take up welding.

Save every penny you have.... you can do a decent setup for around 2k or do it right for 4k

supercharger will hurt the auto tranny less, i believe .... but its hard to find a TRD supercharger, and to strap on a 3rd-party charger would be expensive [ie: Eaton, Stillen, etc.]

I'm not extremely knowledgable about the s/c's or anything but wouldn't a s/c running at the same psi as a t/c actually produce more stress since it would be a constant stress opposed to a t/c only when it's spooled up?

its an automatic ... once the t/s spools, it spools .... despite the BOV, you dont lose boost thru gears with the auto tranny, so the pressure is there for good

but i think the methods at which the s/c boosts versus a t/c, the s/c might be easier on the tranny .... like i said, im not totally sure

im not really a tranny expert unfortunately

and no matter what your setup, it is possible to swap a manual tranny in - look for Eye8Pussies' thread about the swap, or PM him with questions

no point of saying dont bother on the camry just say how much it costs to do it and they would decide for themselves... about $4k if you do it yourslef and probably about $6-7k in total if you pay someone to do it... most will who am i kidding 99% will say screw that might as well get that car I always wanted**lol

bigbird, did you lose your reading glasses?

[N35QU!K]

Is it better/easier to get a 3S-GTE swap done, or do a custom turbo setup?

Yea, I figure anyone who has to ask, "how much" can't (or shouldn't) afford it anyway. He's also in Canada, so he'd better double the amount anyone else would pay here.
