Scion FR-S TRD Supercharger Add-on Confirmed in Development

[Goose]

Well, considering Insideline's review of the BRZ on the dyno revealed a massive torque hole in the 4000rpm area, a S/C would be more helpful in overcoming that in DD. On the track, you just have to keep the revs high (this FA apparently loves this) to keep out of the hole. But a turbo helps out well in that scenario too.

Speaking of S/C, I found this article on Autos.ca (CDN driving mag), that talks about a variable speed S/C, that adjusts boost flow so that there isn't the parasitic loss at idle/low speeds that eats up MPGs. Check out the read.

If I could afford it, I'm all for a supercharger. I've looked into and thought about it a lot for the KA24DE. Never had the $$ or the round tuit though. I'm nervous to say it on this forum because I might get banned, but I don't like turbos on gas engines.

So I heard some time ago through my source that the first test blew the motor. The other day ej25ti mentioned Greddy has blown about 6 motors trying various forced induction setups. Things aren't looking good for the aftermarket and Scion has dropped development of the supercharger and left it to aftermarket. Looks like the best option we have is factory turbo/sc option.

Why don't you like them on gas engines? Ok for diesel?

This engine reminds me of the 2zz. High compression with light built internals to make it rev fast. Not good for modding.

Eventually though, monkey wrench racing got 400+ whp out of their setup, but then required an E153 tranny for big power (mr2 turbo tranny).

Well they're testing a Twin Charger and it's making 320 horsepower, 421 TQ.

Some people is saying it's stock but we don't really know yet.


HKS has a supercharger kit for the GT86 already. On the stock motor it made 250whp. They didn't have any problems.
