Default 3UZFE Factory Supercharged

Found a crashed Crown Majesta ....apparently It has a factory supercharged 3UZFE.
This is all the info i could find on it
". A supercharger was also offered with the 6-speed transmission, allowing the engine to produce 340 bhp (254 kW; 345 PS)," wikipedia

Anyone ever came across any info on this???


Going tmrw to get some pics

Doesn't really seem worth it for only 340 bhp. That's only a bolt on or two away as is.

It has close to 400 ft/lbs. That alone is definitely worth the engine swap!

im sure for the price of importing/swapping i can easily make 400 ft/pounds of torque for way less especially since the BHP levels start out very similar
