hello everyone on toyotanation im looking to get some information on two different types of superchargers to put on a v6 3vzfe camry im aiming to hit 270-300 hp at the wheels. want to know which one would you recomend.

first is a trd supercharger which many people have used b4
second is a rotex supercharger was refered to this by a friend
here is a link to the one im looking at http://www.rotrex.com/pdfs/Rotrex_Te...Range_V4.0.pdf
also what parts do i need to upgrade to help suport this power so far i have found the following
wolf 3d piggyback ecu
supra injectors
bosh 044 intank fuel pump
upgraded radiator

any help with this is greatly appreciated.

timing is the biggest thing and finding a proper location to mount it.
no one to my knowledge has yet to use a trd sc on a 3vzfe engine.
but it sounds like your set. just need to find out where you will put the thing........

This is relevant to my interests

and maybe should be stickied, as there are a few of us with 3VZ's and looking for similar power (I'm hoping 300-340 at wheels

)

pity I can't drop a GM 502 HO into my engine bay

jks

Eh, the TRD charger HAS been used on 3VZ's, it just needs an adapter to fit to the intake. There's a guy (Paul Woods?) who makes them for 3VZ-powered MR2's. As far as camry's, though, I'm not sure if anyone has one mounted at the moment...

why not turbo? the costs would be close to the same and your doin customizing anyways.

in either case...are you manual? if not then id scrap any FI ideas till you do a manual swap.

hey everybody im doing a manual conversion as we speak alongwith a upgraded clutch. have looked into turboing the car have been qouted from the work shop that is doing the work on the engine around 10grand (aus dollas). the charger option is about $2000 cheaper and for the power im after i dont think its worth turboing the car for 270 hp when a charger will do the job just fine.

a stronger load of fail is still a load of fail

if your doin a manual swap thats great! personaly id rather the roots style of the TRD if im goin SCed. but the customizing and difficulty finding one may limit you to the cintrifugual charger. that path has had som criticizm in teh past due to the way it makes boost and the power band onf the 3vz. torque is fairly high up in the power band which is a negative when talking about cintrifigual.
