Stumbled across this and couldnt turn it down. I'm not exactly sure what i am going to do with this yet as i mainly do 1mz/3mz Camry swaps, but i figured what the heck its super rare and maybe someone on here in the future will want to scarf it up and slap it in their mr2. This supercharger came off a wrecked TRD Aurien with the 2GR engine the car is rated at 330hp at 4psi on the 6spd auto trans. The only piece i'm not getting is the TRD tuned ECU which probably wouldn't do us any good anyway.

This would be insane on a 2gr swapped MR2!

Uses Eaton's new TVS technology i was told these blowers are up there in efficiency range with the twin screws.

I'll save Gouky the trouble...

How much you want?
i've been in contact with him already. he seems to be avoiding answering that question.

also, this is just the supercharger without any of the supporting hardware. other than oem looks, this does not offer much.

but it all depends on the price.

supercharger

Gouky sorry about that i was actually waiting to hear back from you lol . I've got the important main pieces, the tvs blower ,4psi s/c pulley,and lower intake manifold. I have no idler pieces or hardware . Trying to find the parts inventory for this s/c kit was next to impossible so i am not positive on what i am missing. This kit MSRP's in Australia for over $7000us, and get this you have to be a TRD Aurien owner with a VIN # before they will even sell you a kit. This kit is one of the first in the states. I'm a big seller over on solaraguy.com i go by TRD4life recently sold my est. 600whp 3.1liter 1mz twin screw package to Pablo here on the forums which he is putting on his mr2 when he gets out of the military.

configure the idler pulleys, crack the 2gr ecu, and have one the the coolest mr2's on the street. 7-8psi on this kit would be sick :eek:

$2500 SHIPPED Gouky its yours if you want it

PM me

i'll pass, feel free to sell it to someone else.

The biggest problem with the Aurion TRD SC is getting the workshop manuals.
I have contacts and they are impossible to get. Owners of the car even have no chance.
As far as the parts are concerned no pronlem except it will cost $

Thats a pretty expensive part and the only advantage it seems is that is bolts straight on. It seems more worthwhile to buy the exact SC you want and then adapt it to your engine.

actualy, that is part of the problem. without the pulley assembly it won't even just bolt right on. fabrication is still required.

Without the TRD Aurion ECU, you'll still need a standalone to tune it properly.

after all that, you're only at about 4-5psi and you need to make an intercooler manifold to take advantage of the several thousands of dollars you've just spent on your standalone

for the whole kit i'd probably pay the going rate of 4-5000$ for a normal TRD supercharger. becuase it just bolts right on and it is properly tuned with no mucking about.

I would not pay over 300-500$ for this. it is essentialy a used Eaton supercharger, the only TRD part to this is the outer shell and its paint.

actually, that is a very interesting proposition.

i do not have a 1GR to compare with, but by looking at these pictures:

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_U_2006_TOYOTA_FJ+CRUISER_GSJ10L-GKASKA_1701.html

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_U_2006_TOYOTA_AVALON_GSX30L-AEAPKA_1701.html

the 1gr looks to have a tilt added to the lower intake, so you'd need to use the entire intake from the 1gr to align the pulleys properly

also, the lower intake holds the fuel injectors but that ends up being a bonus anyways because the lower intake holds the fuel injectors and it's fuel rail has a return system which makes the aftermarket fuel regulator unnecessary

now, if we look at the supercharger, the bonuses don't stop there:
the supercharger can be had for about 3500$ new. that includes fuel injectors that may or may not be big enough.

it includes a charge air cooler, a coolant pump and a radiator.

then, as a small side bonus, if you remove the secondary intake pipe, it places the intake right near the now wide open air duct on the passenger side which should get much cleaner air than the stock driver's side intake. you'd just need an adapter plate to mount the throttle body on there.

i wonder if that supercharger can be coaxed up to 10psi on the 2gr. i bet it can though i'm going to see if i can find out what supercharger internals are in here.

my bank account quivers in fear!

the 1gr supercharger is an Eaton M90.

http://www.magnusonproducts.com/mp90.htm

Eaton has a pretty decent estimator on their site. running my 2gr's dyno numbers through there they claim that the M90 will allow me to run about 8psi max and that it will net me about 375HP at the wheels, about an extra 100HP

if you overrun the supercharger a tiny bit, to 13,000RPMs it hits just barely north of 400HP at the wheels with 10PSI of boost.

but that won't be necessary since my target is 350RWHP. i'm well within the range of this supercharger.

it sounds like a plan, i'm going to see about going to the dealer and ordering a pair of FJ lower intake gaskets and a pair of Avalon lower intake gaskets. it'll cost me about 30$ and then i'll know for sure.

*edit* oops, the supercharger's max RPM is actualy 14,000. not 12,000 that i originaly thought. this means it could push up to 13.5psi of boost on this motor with an estimated 425HP at the wheels

This and the 3UR-FE's S/C are the new Eaton TVS superchargers. They don't whine as much since they're more efficient though. It still sounds pretty decent in the Tundra reg. cab. short bed sport truck I heard it in. Pound for pound of boost, they will outperform the regular S/Cs.

Sourcing the tuned ECU might be a good idea. On the Tundra, they replace the injectors and fuel pump to support the added power. On the tC, they use 400cc injectors, so I'm pretty sure the 1GR, 2GR, and 3UR kits supply something over 500cc.

yeah, the requirement would be 500cc injectors to support the max horsepower this thing can put out on this motor. that is probably the size injectors i'll put in there right away as soon as i can tune this thing.

fully open that means 180L/HR of fuel. definately within range of the supra pump i have in there. hurray for no fuel upgrades needed.

Wow.....What people are saying in this thread is amazing, and NOT on a good way.

The 2GR S/C is the new style Eaton TVS, which is more efficient. And the TRD Aurion has a special intake manifold, ONE idler pulley (similiar to the 1ZZ/2ZZ setup), and a TRD ECU. *edit, also bigger injectors.

No matter what, your going to need some kind of piggy back EVEN if you use the Eaton M90. So the only "real" missing part is the idler pulley which can be made.

If you guys really think it's cheaper to convert a 1GR SC to fit, or make your own, have fun. I'll be in the background quietly laughing.....

^ The SC new is $10,000AUD ($6,500USD) and the Manifold I THINK is somewhere north of $1,000AUD ($650USD). the ONLY way to get one is if you need a replacement for your TRD Aurion for some reason. TRD will not sell then otherwise, which sucks.

I don't necessarily think it will be cheaper, it might be but I bet it will be way better to make your own. Its like TRD hypothetically having one turbo upgrade for the 3sgte, how is that going to suit everyone from a gt28 to a gt42?

Same applies here, why not pick the supercharger you actually want, fabricate it to fit in the best way for your goals and engine and ignore the extremely rare and expensive part. You wouldn't pay that much for a ct20b if there were only 10 of them in the world.

actualy, after a bit of research, an Whipple W100AX would be the cat's meow for this motor and run about 1900$. a W75AX might also work well for slightly cheaper.

Ooooh yeah, I don't even know what that is but there you go. $7000 for a TRD which needs work to fit or $2000 instead for a perfect supercharger for your application and then if you spend $5000 fitting it your an idiot but you still break even with a better setup.

How do you figure that it wouldn't be cheaper to blow $3500 on a 4.0L 1GRFE TRD S/C rather than $6000+ for TRD Australia-only parts that we can't even order?
