ewww, no intercooling?
I knew that there was a supercharger kit by HKS for the 1g-ge but never for the 4age.
This would have to be rarer than the 1gge kit!!

yeah thats what I thought...
I've seen one of these before, not in the flesh but I've seen pictures of it installed. I remain unimpressed as to what kinds of power gains are possible over a standard 4AGZE setup.
Very bizzare. You'd have to run water or methanol injection to get the intake temps back down. Although, if it's a very efficient compressor, maybe a screw type, it might not generate much heat. Does anyone know of a car with this installed? I do fail to see the advantage over an SC14, unless it's a really nice compressor. And how long would the (aluminium) head hold up to all that weight? Start pulling bolts out...
RM.
well there is a fair amount of bracing to support the weight of the supercharger.
I actually had a look at another HKS supercharger today that was made for the 1g-ge engine and there is a bit of difference between it and the sc14. Supposedly the HKS supercharger for the 1g can make up to 1.8 bar which is fairly impressive for a roots design. The lobe design was also rather different (ie not the conventional figure 8 lobes) I will need to have a closer look to see what exactly goes on...
Digging up an old thread, but these were marketed as an upgrade to the N/A AW11, before the SC model was introduced. To be fair, they probably prompted Toyota to come out with a factory supercharged car.
