5spd manual + supercharger - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Shibalsaekki · 09-24-2007, 05:46 PM

anyone know of a supercharger that works for the gen 5 camry's? i heard you can install a tc supercharger for the camry, just wanting to make sure out of curiousity.

also another question, anyone know how much a transmission swap from auto to 5spd manual would cost on a camry?

The supercharger would take some fabrication skills to install. The Tc and Camry aren't exactly alike in engine compartment layout. You will also need to add a piggyback ECU for tuning purposes as the Tc programming doesn't work in the Camry. There may be more that's needed. I haven't fully researched it.

A transmission swap would be hugely expensive. You're better off selling your car and buying a manual transmission Camry.

I think the s/c bolts up w/ some very very minor fab, but I may be wrong...

yea, i figured the manual transmission swap would be a big hole in my pocket, but are there manual camry's for sale? i've never come across one, or not in southern cali yet..

so a Tc s/c is possible if done right? interesting..

I don't know what the cost would be to FI but I assume you have an I4, For the Tranny swap you are looking any where from 600 to 1500 depending on how you source your parts and labor.

Here is Richard's solara (which is the same as the camry I4), it is not SCed but it is a 2AZ Turboed+5 speed swap and his dyno sheet...

Those numbers are impressive, I must say, for the 2azfe, i'm amazed. I never would have imagined those types of gains.

What a car by the way, hawt dang!

It's amazing, considering the 2GR-FE only makes about 200whp.

man that solara is a beast...anyone know where i can get a swap done to manual in socal for a good price? or have step by step directions on how to do it themselves?

p.s. what turbocharger is on the solara?

***CharmCityES*** · 09-26-2007, 12:35 AM

damn that 'lara is sick....makes me wanna do this to my camry

JustAnotherAsian · 09-26-2007, 07:34 PM

holy jeebus... i'm posting just so i can't lose this thread with that solara... lol

i wonder what turbokit that was and how the piping went... assuming it was a turbokit from the tC.

edit: screw the tC's charger. turbo that gen5 beast. (well i had to stay somewhat on topic right? LOL)
