Recommend A Supercharger For '95 Celica Convertibl

[bkaspar01]

Hey all....I'm a newbie here but I've been reading up and think I want to add a supercharger to my '95 toyota celica convertible. What price range will a supercharger run me and about how much should I pay to have it installed? Can anyone point me to any good deals online? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places....but I haven't been able to find any superchargers for my '95 toyota celica GT convertible. Thanks so much!

When i had a 98 GT i was looking for a turbo/supercharger also.

The only problem is your gonna find that there are VERY few places that do turbos and superchargers for the 3s-ge. I assume thats the engine you have. If you have a 3s-fe i wouldnt even bother because the engine probably would never take the boost pressure.

At the end of the day it will probablt cost less and be better to get a 3S-GTE to replace your engine.

But i always say "If it was meant to have a turbo it would have one".

Good luck

I have the 4cylinder, 2.2 liter engine I believe. Can you give me any ballpark estimate of what I'd be spending each way? thanks so much

Any engine can be supercharged!! Used to work for Vickers. now Eaton and your looking at ££££££££££'s just to buy the thing.

Yeah ok technically any engine can be supercharger or turbo charged. But generally n/a engines arent strong enough to run a good level of boost because the manufacturers dont design their internals for it.

The way i look at it, the chances are fitting a turbo also means you need to upgrade your internals to take the pressure. If thats the case then its gonna be a lot of $£$£$£$.

I've never met anyone that has supercharged a car. I understand that not as much needs upgrading because the boost levels are lower than a turbo. Dont really know, oh well.
