2jz-ge supercharge question
Now I don't want everyone to bite my head off and say go turbo. Superchargers (IMO) are safer, easier, and WAY less hassel. Granted less power but that's fine as I'm not building a race car. Anyway, is there anyone on CL here that supercharged their sc and is the IS supercharger able to work on the sc? Any input? I searched but didn't find much except for people bashing the idea

No, you won't find anyone that supercharged their SC I think... it would cost about the same as a mild turbo setup, make less power, and deliver worse gas mileage.
Yeah people bash the idea for a reason More power to you if thats what you like; but it'd be easier to just run a nitrous kit.

Check this out...Its mostly for IS300's, but if your crafty you could make it work.

I think this heat shield would do wonders to the 92-97 SC300...Its VVti built, but I'm sure it could be done. Cut here, bend there, get around that distributor.

Thanks for the input. I've turbo'd cars before and it's always an oil leak here, and towing to custom bend pipes there, hack up the bumper to fit an intercooler, etc etc. Supercharger would just be easier and more reliable IMO. I'm a DIY'r so that's important. I'm only lookin for like 75-100 more HP at the wheels and I'm thinkin N/a but that's prob the most expensive way to go slow. So far I'm goin 5 spd conv., header, exhaust, intake, ECU tune (AEM or comprable) but I'm pretty sure that'll maybe yield 35-40 hp at the wheels max. So a supercharger would do wonders for me I think and the fact of no lag for everyday driving.

? ? What the hell? Why would my car start on fire? Why would it be a big waste of time? If I get more power and I experience no problems with everyday driving than it serves its purpose. Did you ever turbo a car? Are you aware of the headaches you run into with oil lines alone?! Let alone intercoolers, gaskets, engine rebuilds, etc etc?

I'd be really interested to see if this would work

Ya, I called some places and I found out the IS kit ppl are willing to sell me all the brackets and what not but they said the blower/pully's would be custom. The intercooler would also be custom either way which is one of my biggest fears.And lexus_boy.. how many ppl have original RSP on here with 50k
