Supercharger on 05 rolla?

[intialdfan67]

Hey everyone, so i had a quick question and its been bugging me a lot.

I currently own a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE , and i really wanted to put a TRD supercharger but i heard it cant be put on Corollas that are not of the year 2003-2004. Is this entirely true, or would there be a way for me to put one in? And if its not possible I would like to get a little more power from my 'rolla so anyone got any other suggestions (maybe like chipping it, or putting in a turbo)? Im new at mechanics so i appreciate all the help i can get, thanks!

I found this

it looks a lil shady not gonna lie, but even if it is a hoax, would i still be able to put this kind of supercharger on my 05 corolla ce? and if i do put on it, would it affect the fact that i wanna put in a k&n air intake system? much appreciated guys!

It can be done, but is not recommended for you, especially if you're automatic.

There is no replaceable chip. Forget about that electric 'supercharger'... Save your money and get a faster car, if you really need it.

thanks man i appreciate the input!
just on a quick sidenote, is it possible (and how much would it cost) to switch it over to a tiptronic gearbox?
i know i might be spending a lot more than it needs, and frankly i could save up all that money to get a newer car, (BUT I JUST FRIGGIN LOVE MY ROLLA!!!)

a flappy-paddle gearbox is pretty much out of the question, unless you have a loooot of money and free time for your car to be out of commission and even then it still might not work.

some Celica GTS had them but they had different engines and ECUs than what your corolla has, even if you aquired one of the transmissions, you need to find some way to alter the GTS ECU to work on a 1zz corolla (pretty much wont happen). plus, I don't think they were that good anyways.

I think some euro-market 3rd gen MR-2s had a tiptronic-style tranny, but again, good luck aquiring it and figuring out how to make it work properly.

doing either of the 2 aforementioned things would probably end up costing as much as a brand new car anyways.

no, your best bet would be to either swap a manual (5 speed, or 6 speed) transmission or just trade in your corolla for a manual corolla.

as for the supercharger, forget that POS electric "supercharger", those DO NOT WORK. The TRD superchargers say they are for 03-04 only but there are those with them on 05+ corollas. you just need a throttle body adapter plate. but they are out of production, have been for a while. you can find them used though, sometimes people on <9th gen corolla .com> sell their set up (sometimes for 05+), sometimes. just gotta keep checking for for-sale threads. but then, if you got the supercharger, you still have a slow-ass automatic transmission. best to get the manny-tranny first.
