it can fit just you wount have the use of the ebc, few DIY vaccume lines need to be made. and if you have vvt-i any thing that connects to the manfold other than the AICS is going to need to be remated to the tb (well cept the brake booster as well). oh and since you dont have the ebc anymore your gona kill your tranny damn fast and going to need to figure out how to get a piggy back to work.

then you get things like clearence issues ... blah blah blah .... personlay is say go for it! i'm doing my gen 3.

You can get any supercharger or turbo to fit with some modifications, considering it fits in the engine bay.

that was me that posted that TRD made a s/c for gen 5's
i was looking at a parts site and it said they had them 1mz's from "'1997 to current"
what i didnt realize was the site was outdated and the "current" meant 2001 :rolleyes:

I'm not really much of a fan of S/C, mainly because it saps up more power from your engine. That's the only difference between a turbo and S/C. Even thought gives the car a bit more power, it actually borrows that power in order for it to work.

A turbo is just an extra boost of air into the engine.

I just think of the supercharger as like an a/c unit taking power to make power. But hopefully it makes more power.

Doesn't it use a belt? so wouldn't it put strain on the alternator? hmmmm.........turbos aren't as safe i heard as a supercharger. I'm not sure if that's a rumor or not. But i'm sure if its done right.......

^Its true. Superchargers are more reliable than turbos.

Yup, you don't have your engine internals blowing up *cough* 3SFTE *cough* but yes, S/Cs does take power from your engine to make more power. LoL.
