hi, i was wondering how much do superchargers cost and who makes them? I know TRD has a supercharger, but anybody else? I recall that they cost like thousands of dollars, but don't know the approximate pricing for them. I have a '94 Camry V6 LE, please help out if you know any info on this, thx! Also, since people say that superchargers wear out the engine more, what can I do to prevent the weardown?

Stay N/A (naturally aspirated).

Whenever you go forced induced (turbo, supercharger, nitrous) you put more wear on the engine.

If you feel like reading heres a good article about turbos vs superchargers:

what is N/A(naturally aspirated) mean?
wow... thx for the article, learned a lot and now it makes me turn my head to turbochargers instead, hehe. Then again, I have a V6 and it's going to cost me more $ and work. What do I need to do in order to get a turbocharger? I'm guessing a new exhaust since turbochargers are exhaust gas-driven. And how much do the chargers cost?

no need to buy an expensive supra when you can do a 3s-gte engine swap and not have to worry much at all about wear.......and its faster :-D
