Default supercharger kit

Gotta get a new engine for the GS no compression (which sucks) so I wanna use a supercharger. Who knows a good one that won't break the pockets?

As far as I know nobody makes a bolt on kit for our cars because of the distributor. If you swap in a newer model motor from a 2gen GS, then you can get a supercharger.

No it's not and don't bother with a supercharger on a 3.0. You can buy a China turbo kit that will work Ok with twice the hp for half the cash.

You can use the block from the 2nd gen if your head is good, and your willing to get a head gasket and swap everything over.

Suprised no one has recomended a PNP GTE swap

why even bother swapping in another 2jzge in there? especially if you wanna turbo it.. just go buy an Aristo 2JZGTE and swap that in. only thing you need to do i think is extend the harness and a few other minor things. after thats done you'll have stock reliable twin turbo engine that you can boost up to 400whp and if you want more power in the future you can just add a bigger turbo and it can stand up to 700whp on stock internals which is alot more than what the NA 2jzge can stand.
