Is there a super charger for my 2002 es 300
I just picked up the new ES 300 and plan to do some engine work. I was wondering if there are any aftermarket superchargers and performance parts for the ES 300. Also i would like to know what type of engine do i have and is it similar to the GS 300. If anybody have the answers to my questions please help me out. Thanks.

You have a 1MZ-FE VVT-i engine. The VVT-i differs from the standard 1MZ-FE by Variable Valve Timing w/ Intelligence & twin throttle bodies to name some.
Unfortunately the TRD Kazuma SC does not work with teh VVT-i motor.
The GS300 has a 2JZ-GE motor which is a straight (inline) 6 motor.

bad times
dont get your hopes up on any mods for the ES... Nobody is gonna spend the dough on making hopups for a car when no one is going to buy them, people dont buy an ES to hop it up... GS or IS if you wanna do that..
not many LS hop ups either

The 1MZ-FE V6 in the 2002 is VVT-i and in addition to that, Toyota has opted to use a Throttle by wire system meaning the throttle door is opened via electronic signal compared to the conventional throttle cable connected to the accel. pedal. Also, the VVT-i 1MZ-FE's are dual throttle body design. The TRD Supercharger will not work with those systems.
