I would like to get a Toyota Solara to run low 14's to high 13's in the the 1/4 mile and was hoping that I could do this with either a supercharger or turbocharger. What time would a 4 Banger Solara with either a turbocharger/supercharger run in the 1/4 mile and what would a V6 Solara run in the 1/4 mile with a turbocharger/supercharger?
what motor is in the solara? is it the 5sfe? .. if so you might as well give up or supercharge it. which will cost alot. turbo takes much work and much knowledge. you hafta know wut you are doing. I put in a few years of research before i turbo'd my camry and its still a scary and slow process.
Check out the 1/4 mile database in the link on top of the page. If you want more power, definately start with the V6 and the TRD supercharger. It's less costly and you'll have less worries than with a turbo. You're never going to get much boost anyways, without building the internals. I've spent around $1500-2000 to run 5.5 pounds of boost (some have run 6 or 7 but they are really running the risk of damaging their motors w/o building the internals). Although I've added the Walbro 190lph fuel pump, Supra 330cc fuel injectors, Supra TT MAF, S-AFCII, and URD lightweight crank pulley. I've never run a 1/4 before, but I'd think I'm definately in the 14's. I haven't dynoed yet either, but I know I'll be in or close to 300hp to the wheels after I get it fully tuned. The Solara is a heavy car so it'll never be super fast...The fastest Solara in 1/4 mi. to date is 13.3 @108mph, but his engine is fully built (with 10 psi+nitrous) and has spent MAJOR money to get there.

Okay, besides the Supra or MR2, is there a different Toyota that you would recommend me for my goal? Thanks.
Celica, it will easily do 14s with less than 10k budget (may be much less) including the car.
7th GTS with some bolt on will do low 14s.
7th gen turbo will do high 13s
5th-6th gen with 3sgte swap will do high 13s
4th-5th gen Alltrac will do much faster if you have $$.
By the way, I do own a V6 Solara.
It's my daily driver so I don't have anything but the RMM intake.
I was thinking of the TRD supercharger when I first got the car, but now all my $$ go into my Celica.
The 2004, 2005 Solaras with the 3.3L V6 already does it. Use Premium fuel.

More like mid to low 15's. I doubt you can shave a second using premium fuel and I know for a fact that my '00 s/c V6 manual blows the doors off any 04+ Solara.

if I was to boost my v6 solara, I couldn't go for anything more than 6-7psi? not even with an amazing tune? I know with hondas, ppl usually run 6-8 psi with a good tune and no internal work done...others run higher boost simply bc their tunes are better...but I know without building the block, you ALWAYS run the risk of blowing the motor...are the internals in the solara motors weak or something?

Most people have knock sensor issues at anything over 5.5 psi. They are extremely sensitive, even to the high frequency noise caused by the blower itself.
A friend of mine who has a turbo GSR asked me how much boost I was running and I told him the stock 4 psi. His stupid girlfriend laughed and said I should be runnin 8 psi at least Shows how stupid some people are.

well that makes sense...I wouldn't have laughed...I would just have asked why? but that's interesting to know...and there's no way to bypass this? how much power over stock were you making at 4psi? was it worth it at that time? <---I say that "assuming" that you aren't still running 4psi, but we all know what happens when you assume...and 8g's is a bit retarded for a turbo...especially when it's a "used" custom turbo...
