^I came across this looking in to Camry superchargers. Anybody familiar with doing a swap like this into an MR2? He wants $12K for it.

there are around, 11 or so with that swap...

they're nicknamed "MR6s"

a 1mz-fe has pretty much the same power as the originally equipped 3sgte when stock...

but the 1mz-fe is alittle bit lighter, larger, and when combined with the TRD supercharger, makes as much power as a mildly tuned 3sgte, but without the turbo lag...

Hmmm, I kinda like that idea. Small car, Big power.

Go to the store right now and buy a sport compact car magazine.

anyone that complains about turbo lag...prolly never has driven a car with a properly sized turbo....lag is so minimal in my car.....a split second....my car makes full boost at around 3500rpm which is very streetable....turbo lag is so overrated and is a too commonly used term IMO....

^--yeah, but then again there's some of us that perfer a supercharger, a V6, AND an automatic (too bad none of these swaps have been auto, but hey, who knows?)

Yup, stock turbo MR2s spool damn quick. By 3500 rpm you're well on your way. But by the same token, it's still just a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder. Having driven both a turbo MR2 and a Camry with a V6, I can say that I personally enjoyed the smoother power delivery of the six to the turbo four. It's just a lot more punch down low, even with the god-awful 4-speed automatic it had.

Same power numbers.. very different torque bands.
