Why can't you supercharge the matrix xr 4wd with the TRD supercharger kit?

You can. It's been done.

So what are the reasons why they (TRD) say that the kit is not for XR 4wd?

you have to custom make a bunch of pipes for it to fit.

pipes? the trd s/c doesn't have another pipes beside the intake and the intakmanifold... the TRD s/c is running on at least 2 matrix and 1 vibe that are 4wd... toyota are just saving their butts so they don't pay for the drivetrain and what not if they break.... so far there are no records of anyone breaking it, in N/A, S/C or turbo form hte the 4wd... so your safe man... on;y thing you won't have is the warrenty...

Actually, didn't greenfire toast his 4wd trix while having the SC on?

actually, what was brung up was either the 5th injector or an bad acuator that was on the TRD spupercharger itself that help blew the engine... the drivetrain and tranny are still fine after he got his motor swap... oh he is still running strong without his s/c

Ah okay bud; I'm glad it worked out for the guy

Just heads up, check around there's a sale sometimes; even on ebay

Nonetheless, it's still a 4WD XR w/ a SC.
