can it b done?? toyota = svx
 

was wondering if anyone has tried any other supercharger other than the ones made for the svx.. eg..from2tz 2.4 4cyl estima van these ones have a throttle body/tps and air bypass built into air intake pipes basic super charger is the same they dont require any feed and are a good little unit that dosnt give any trouble will suit engines up to 3.8 litre petrol or diesel a mate had one on a 2.8 hilux and it went awsome (10 lbs boost) boost is controlled by belt pulley ratios they have an electric clutch but can be locked

Hmmm... svxual, you should be careful bro where you post on the forum. This belongs to the mods section. :o

EDIT: Transferred to the MODs section :D

sorry 1000 opoligies

I knew a guy who was tinkering with the idea of putting a different supercharger on, but haven't heard anything about it as he is... incommunicado. :o

Painful... caps lock and punctuation are universally accepted as the common form to end a thought, before proceeding to the next. Please consider them.

Anything can be made to work. The question is: How much money do YOU want to spend on it? :)

also with that thought, would it be the best option?? I would rather buy a blower that cost $1k more than use a used one that I would have to change the entire engine for.

not just money but also time. worth looking into. i was thinking of something similar. i've seen it done on bimmers. one of my buddies did it. it does work but needs alot of custom work

They can be made to work OK, but nobody we know has ever done it. Your big problem is orientation and the fabrication that would be required to work them. [As in they were set up to feed an upright straight four, rather than a flat six] They could be made to work in the same way svxfiles mounted his. Check svxfiles locker for pictures.

To be honest, if you were going this route you would be far better off to fit a new Rotrex. They are not too cheap but are very compact and can give any power you want.

You guys have been ragging on this guy's English since he's gotten here. Cut the guy a break, will ya?
Anyhow, as far as I know, nobody has tried that type of supercharger unit. If you know of a cheap source for one, and have any fabrication experiance...Its worth a try.

I've been toying with trying to use the supercharger off of a Toyota Previa, they're belt driven, plus AFAIK they are a centrifugal supercharger (I think that is the correct term, looks like a big belt-driven turbo) I know the TRD supercharger for the Scion tC is like that, but it's got a big arse shaft on it, and it's $2500 :mad: bit if one ever comes in with a broken shaft it probably would not be all that difficult to shorten the shaft.

That looks a cool system.

Yes, centrifugal is the correct term. So is the Rotrex. So is svxfiles one. They are definitely a gearbox driven turbo, as we know them.

All of them will require fabrication to connect up to the intake and the headers, and to an intercooler if required.
