Has anyone on here done a supercharged and supercharged SC? I know it can be done , I've seen some Supra like that and I was wondering what would it cost, time , and specs of it IF anyone has done it to an SC, if not I will be researching and trying to build GA's first Supercharged Turboe'd Zombie SC.

Here's a video of one

seems like a bit of overkill..you'll be spending a TON of money to do this..

overkill? why is that?

do you have $50,000 to blow?

About ten years ago there was a guy with a tri-turbo supra. There's really no point to it other then cool points at shows.

Wow that much??? ^^^^^^^ I would love to see it done and be able to close the hood. I bet it has no lag whatsover.

why would it be so much money for this set up? where is the extra $40 000 going?

A proper fuel system and a standalone = big money. If you want it to last you will need a built engine too.

it's just a ballpark figure, but i'm willing to bet i'm pretty close. you really think this was only $10k? everyone would have a crazy setup like this if that were the case.
parts and labor add up quicker than you think. engine builds are extremely expensive, especially with custom fabricated pieces.
aem/haltech/pro-efi ems alone is ~$2500, fuel system another $2-3k, etc, etc

That is a very tall order! After simply TT'ing the 1UZ, I would not even think about it. But anything can be done with enough time and money...Remember these cars are HUGE MONEY PITS, BLACK HOLES in fact when you start modding them for serious power. But perhaps you can fabricate, weld, design, engineer, wire, tune, and turn wrenches and save yourself a bunch of labor costs...

It's not really useless yet it's not practical. It just really depends on the application. Several Group B rally cars used this kind of a setup and were successful. Ronin's Exige is another example of this done right. RIP

I think Kohinoor isn't too far off, custom gets expensive really quick especially if you have someone else put in the time to figure out how to make it all work. But yeah anything can be done.... providing your wallets are deep enough lol

better off doing a compound turbo kit which will deliver about the same results for 1/3 the costs

Twin-charging, in concept, is a great idea..but in practicality? Making an intake manifold for the supercharger, all the piping, the increase of fuel needed, the wiring, the ECM required..just doesn't seem worth it...plus you wouldn't be able to shut the hood. I don't see any way that something like this can be done cleanly and efficiently.

This..but even a compound setup is difficult with our engine bay..and making the manifold is difficult. My recommendation is a medium sized single. There just is no easy way to make low end torque on these engines.
