Any rumors, thoughts, news, etc.???

I would love to make one of these work on my Avalon...

Well there is one being realeased here in Aus as the sports model in the Aurion. for the 2GR-FE motor...certainly won't work with a 06 1MZ.

i'm sure TRD is working on it as we speak and we should see it by 07 or early 07. Especially since this engine is in so many different models.

Got any proof?

nodrogkam · 04-18-2006, 11:17 PM

nope, nadda, speculation only. sorry?
I mean wasn't there an official article released a few months back about TRD trying to get back into gear?

05Cam-Weasel · 04-18-2006, 11:30 PM

there are no rumors going around about a trd supercharger for the 07 v6 so it is just a waiting game for not

Honestly, how much more power does a front wheel drive car really need? Its already overpowered for the design as it is.

drunken_panda · 04-19-2006, 01:42 AM

Isnt the therotical power for a front wheel drive car 240bhp (dont know how much hp that is). I remember something on Top Gear ...

nodrogkam · 04-19-2006, 01:58 AM

thats about 300 at the crank. if you drive an auto.

but i believe that was proven wrong in the SAME episode of top gear with some car they tested. I think i just saw that episode yesterday online.

Supercharged 07 Camry... Hmmm they should make like a TRD SE Camry... LoL we should all petition for one

xpeed · 04-19-2006, 04:58 AM

Yeah but who would buy it on top of the SEV6 camry that starts around $24K?

People would buy it, but would it worth it for toyota to do all the research and development? Probably not. I'm sure they could put the hundreds of thousands of dollars into another project which would yield more benefit to them as a company.
Most people are going to be satisfied with almost 300 hp. Are there any other nearly 300 hp toyotas for which toyota makes a supercharger? No. TFrom what I can tell they seem to make them for the underpowered cars or trucks.

Bunthy · 04-19-2006, 09:22 AM

dang...I thought the topic of this discussion was 2007 camry VS TRD supercahrged camry.....oh well.

terrynham · 04-19-2006, 09:54 AM

well its not a TRD S/C, but as JetspeedCamry said, we get a S/C 2GR-FE in the new Aurions which will be released soon

so a Supercharger does exist

maybe TRD will adopt it in the future

The extra power wouldn't help at lower speeds, like 0-50mph. But it would definitely be fun from second gear on. Imagine, you widen the fenders a little, throw on some 10 inch 20's with some good rubber. Regular 20's would still be fun, you would just have to pay more attention to throttle. In either case; from a stop, you give about 3/4 gas. As soon as your rides shifts to second you floor it. oo baby!
