edit also your in the wrong forum, put it in lexus
ok its a 96 but i will be the last thing i do to the car so it will be a while. im savin up for my system and then im goin to do the interior then paint it get the rims and maybe the exhaust not sure yet but ya
hey drewscam the reason i put it in the camry forum is because the my lexus and the V6 cam have the same engine and i like the people in this forum better neways ok
but think about it. the blower would rip the turbo apart. but thats just my opinion.
The ES don't get the supercharger, does to room and ECU, so unless you can break Toyotas and TRD code its basically a no gochronoti said:what year lexus? 97+ you have the trd supercharger

ive seen the supercharger on the es before.
I'm not saying its impossible, but the TRD S/C was never made for the ES of any years... trust me on this

j/k No, TMC hates the ES...:lol:
but ya i still plan on making to where i can put a BDS blower kit on there ya it will be difficult and long time before completing it but in the i know i can do because anything can be done to a car. for the right amount of money of course. lol:lol:
The trd s/c should fit on the es. They share the same engine as the camry and don't see a reason why it wouldn't fit. Wickedlex, go for it!! If I had a es300, my s/c will come first, then the sound system. Hehehe!!!
ya but i plan on putting a BDS blower on the engine. so im goin to do everything else first considerering the blower will cost about 5 grand. lol look it up and then just imagine what it would be like and im going to make it become a reality.
Yes they share the same engine, but so does the Avalon, but do you see anywhere on TRD site or in any Toyota brochures that there is a S/C available for the ES or Avalon?.... nope... want to know why?joshthorsc said:The trd s/c should fit on the es.

Well I'm telling ya anyways... its becasue the engine is crammed in there already.... and they way the engine sits creates clearance problems.... not to mention that the ECU for the Avie and the ES are the same, but different from the Sienna, Camry and Solara.
Also the ES and Avie are both VVT-i which the Camry was not, not to mention both are 5spd auto which the Cam is not
After lots of time and money he can get the TRD S/C to fit and work, but it wont be pretty, he gonna have to reprogram the ECU, which Toyota nor TRD will not give up to just anybody, not even alot of their race teams is previe to this info.
Their new Tundra for NASCAR, there is a reason why Toyota is building everything and then sell the whole truck to the teams and then go and sell them a second engine and so forth.
I will back him all the way if he decides to try to work the TRD S/C into his lex, and will give mad props when and if he does... but I'm not gonna put him down and say oh your crazy thats not gonna work... just that yes they are the same engine, but thats it... all the coding is different and the engine bay is different so its gonna be tough.
Anyways back on the subject at hand... good luck with your project no matter which way you go with it.

in response to a few wrong things
first , wicked who has a supercharger on an ES?
second , the only issue is with the vvti on a 97 and up to S/C that cannot be worked around easily.
the rest of your comments sportivo are hearsay and not from actual people doing it but the usual it won't work crew of idiology and guess work racing .
josh teh 1mz-fe has weak aluminum rods which cannot take heavy forced induction or nos easily as the compression rates over 10 lbs get slightly hairy for crank walk after 15 pounds constantly , this is no 1jz 1uz or any other big boy toyota power plant.
the s/c can be done but it needs 3 things
a good shop to make it and fabricate the parts
$10 000 to cover all parts that will break and need to be redeveloped,
a very good technical driver to be able to learn teh engines way with teh charger to adapt to it and fix problems as they will show up and know what to look for.
like knowing how to read a stupid afr gauge ,to most people it is useless dancing lights, when read properly it will show response fuel mileage and egr problems if you know when and how to look for it.
so first thing you need to do is get 10 000 play money to waste
then this can go somewhere
otherwise this will become part of the thousands of threads with big boy dreams of s/c and turboing a 1mz-fe and of course ,nothing happens.

99 and up es300's had vvti. Just thought i'd throw that in. It probably would be easier to turbocharge an es.
Umm my info is coming from TRD themselves, as well as test fitting it on my ES as well as the previous generation ES... I never said it could not be done just very difficult.skperformance said:in response to a few wrong things

Think about this if it was as easy to do as some make it seem don't you think TRD would include the ES and Avalon on the list for the Supercharger? Why exclude just these two vehicles when the rest of the 1MZ line-up can use it?
The reason is because of the VVt-i is not compatable with the Supercharger at all, plain and simple as that.
My ES sat in our garage for 3 months working on the possiblities of adding a TRD S/C to it, so I know what I am talking about. One of my chief mechanics also works for Robert Huffman and the rest of my crew all are very highly skilled ppl.
He has a 96 so I'm not sure if it has VVT-i or not, but if it does he will be heading towards headaches galore, and best bet is to take it to a garage/shop that deals with racing engines and power adders.
