Eaton tvc supercharger - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The Toyota Aurion is much better than the Camry and we have to face it, the Eaton twin vortices supercharger is fitted on the 3.5 V6 which apparently our camry's have. This feature on the Aurion that is a factory TRD install with all Aurions. So I bet we can also upgrade our Camrys

with these superchargers. Can we????

It'd be awesome.

give me some feedback

Epsilon · 06-21-2007, 10:38 PM

Time to make some calls...

95CamryV6Le · 06-21-2007, 10:39 PM

my point exactly

rsjyss · 06-21-2007, 10:48 PM

Of course we probably can but it's probably not just a bolt on blower only..... Supercharger, Fuel Injectors, Computer Programming etc. is needed. And depending on how much boost they are running then possibly the motor maybe running a dish piston (lower compression) and or different piston package (increased compression height - lower top ring to beef up the piston).

Like Epsilon says.... time to make some calls and find out more....

I wonder what they are using to tune it.

hardpoint · 06-23-2007, 04:55 PM

Will our trans be able to hold up to the extra H.P.?

I think there will be a lot involved in making this a reality. But, given enough money, anything is possible.

95CamryV6Le · 06-23-2007, 06:38 PM

i think it can take the extra horses, MAYBE???

white3ch0c0late · 06-23-2007, 07:16 PM

^Yeah? Tell that to all the guys that boosted their cars at like 6 or 7 psi (pretty low boost) and overheated their trannies.

95CamryV6Le · 06-23-2007, 08:00 PM

tru, well what other option is there??

greycam07 · 06-24-2007, 03:30 PM

These are your options.

1. To get the s/c you will probably have to order straight from australia or europe to get the Aurion s/c.

2. Finding a place that can tune it correctly.

3. To make sure the tranny doesnt overheat get a trans oil cooler system and a trans oil temp gauge find out if any difference in heat etc etc.

4. if you dont do 3 than upgraded gears and oil in the trans to support the extra power.

Thats what i think you would have to do.

Camry isn't a "sports" car...so why waste your money on something that may screw up your tranny in the long run. if you have the money to s/c a Camry then you have the money to buy a true performance/sport car..in my opinion anyway...

Posts like these pop up every few years and they lead to nothing being done. Bringing over a S/C created for a RHD vehicle and tuned to the Aurion's specifications isn't going to just drop into a LHD Camry or an Avalon. Not going to happen.

What interests me is when you look back at the factory engines that are FI and then the ones that are not but are still in the same body chassis (i.e. MR-2, Supra, Celica), the engine code is different between the two. However, if you look at the engine code that is stamped into our USDM engine covers and what is stamped into the AUDM engine cover, you will notice that they both say 2GR-FE. Yes that is just the entire engine code but it would be really helpful if we could match up the separate block, head and transmission castings from both engines to see if those are the same also. It appears and I hope that Toyota did not change anything internally in the engine but instead added the TRD SC along with upgraded fuel and a properly factory tuned ECU. Yes, there does need to be some research performed in order to make it work and this would be awesome if it does.

Modifying a car is what some of us enjoy and I am not just talking about wheels and suspension. Yes, the Camry is not a "sports" car and adding a SC is not what makes a car a "sports" car anyways....there is a lot more to it than that. My goal is to make my Camry into a luxury "performance" car that can hang with some of the higher end cars on the road (at a lower cost) and still grab the attention of other enthusiasts at a car show or meet/gathering. Yes, there is a lot of research that I will have to do in order to make this setup work properly and be reliable but I am looking forward to the challenge. Plus, I already own a 1998 TT Supra so I guess in your opinion I am allowed to SC my Camry, right?

Have you ever actually worked on a car where you had to swap a motor from a RHD vehicle to a LHD vehicle? The main difference in the engine setup of a RHD vehicle compared to a LHD, is the location of the throttle cable on the firewall and fuse boxes. But the throttle cable still attaches to the throttle body in the exact same location and the wiring harness still attaches to the engine in the same exact location. That is why a JDM Honda motor can be swapped into a USMD Honda chassis with no modifications and why the JDM 3S-GE and 3S-GTE Celica motors can be swapped into the USDM ST-202 Celica chassis with no modifications. Posts like yours are what cause people to believe incorrect information. Yes, there will have to be some modifications done to the fuel system and ECU reprogramming, but the TRD SC should attach to the USDM 3.5L V6 the same way that it attaches to the AUDM 3.5L V6 (this is from comparing the picture of the Aurion engine to the engine in my Camry).

No i get that, but I'm just saying for the money it will probably cost to getthe SC over here and all the mods you may have to do to get it to fit, you could get a better car for the money. I'm not saying you or anyone else shouldn't, but in my opinion i'd rather get a different car than spend the money on something that may or may not work. just my opinion. If you can/do do it and it works more power to you!!

In reality if i could have afforded and even found a '94+ Supra TT for sale i would have bought it hands down. Supra is one of my fav cars.
