That would be cool, if you have a crap load of money to do it right. The ES isn't really a race car, but would be fun to see it done. Look how fast the old Buick grand national turbo went back in 1986-87. That was a 231 v-6 turbo. Could be done, just need the right people to do it.
Give me a freakin break.

Believe me, it's got the engine for it, it's pretty fun stuff.
Sure its a Lexus, but that means something different for each person.
EEngineer has a hecka dope setup. If I had the money... boy oh boy...

It is indeed a '95 ES300. I am super interested. Do you have any threads on this? Or can we PM about details on how to do it and stuff? The fact that it is a direct bolt on is intriguing.
What exactly would I need to buy to get everything working properly?

^yep yep, ASG14 is actually right about that. my TRD supercharger is actually meant for the 1MZ-FE V6..i just had to modify it heavily to fit the 3VZ-FE engine.

I have worked on OR installed a TRD SC on:
'97 Camry Auto
'94 Camry Coupe Auto (Swapped SC from car above onto this one)
'94 Camry Coupe 5spd
'96 Camry Auto (Mine)
'01 Camry 5spd
'99 Solara Auto
'03 Solara Auto
'02 Solara 5spd (Swapped SC from car above onto this one)
'99 Solara Auto
'94 Camry 5spd
'00 Solara 5spd
'03 Corolla 5-spd as well, lol.
I KNOW I am missing a couple, I just can't remeber....ugh
All you need for the 95 is the main SC assembly and the idler plates with associated hardware. The TRD Boost Controler is NOT needed, at all. The EGR setup is different, so you just do an EGR delete, and use a 10k ohm resister to trick the CEL. If needed, for emmisions, I actually rigged up a modified EGR valve to work on the car. I've used it several times and worked like factory.
