Daym Gabe, you starten up a car collection huh.

Soon your gonna own all the Solara's on the forum.....hehehe

Your idea sounds good though, I haven't seen that many hooked up convertible gen. 1's on the forum.

Good Luck with yet another project.

Your pockets must be pretty deep. I think it would be cool, but a manual swap would really set it off IMO. Where are even finding TRD S/C'ers nowadays???

a manual convertible would be cool. If i do the project i'll do a custom roots supercharger like i am doing on my red camry.

Geez Gabe.
You need to donate some money. :lol:

I'd love to see it. Better yet, do it on a gen 2 if you're going custom S/C. Why not just rewrite the books all together here and try putting a centrifugal SC on?

Just an idea.

IN my opinion, a centerfugial is the worst combo to use. it features the lag of a turbo, and the parasyitic drag of an s/c...

not worth the effort.

^ in my opinion, a centrifugal sc has better heat dissapation. a little lag to it which is cool, but still not much lag at all compared to an equivalent sized turbo.

but i myself would never supercharge anything except for a V8.

I think a Centrif. supercharger is a joke, its basically a turbo thats belt driven.. I'd rather have a roots, even though it runs hotter and can't really run a intercooler
