There is only one supercharger conversion that I know of
in the world![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
, and that's over in the states
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(yes, there's a
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'factory' supercharger for the 1ZZ-FE, as used in the Celica, but it doesn't fit the Roadster
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
To fit the supercharger is a lot of work, in short:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You cut a huge great hole in the firewall, and remove the
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'parcel shelf'.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You then fabricate and weld in a new firewall
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(since it's a structural area) to allow the supercharger to sit partially in the area that used to be more or less your only luggage space.

.

Oh, and to get the soft top to close, you have to force it shut with the window sitting
on![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
the lump containing the supercharger
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- no news as yet as to whether, in time, that stresses the window and shatters it
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(it might
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- a few people have shattered windows just putting the roof down as it is.

If you want more info on that, have a look at
Spyderchat
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- there's a big thread in the Performance area
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(IIRC) about it, some 13 pages long, with pictures, tech info and performance results.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
For my money, it's a lot of work, and it's not producing as much power as a decent turbo kit.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So, if it were me.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'd be going for the C2 Power turbo kit from Hungary
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- it seems to be the most readily available kit that is complete
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(inc.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
bigger injectors etc), at a decent price.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Your other options are Hass from the states
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- expect to wait 10 months for delivery and then to have the kit turning up minus half the bits.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(just search on either Spyderchat or
MR2ROC![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
for more horror stories)
PE from Japan
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- tried and tested, though not quite so
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'complete' a bolt on
Top Secret
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- stupidly expensive
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(think
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£5k or so once you add all the bits it doesn't come with, like an intercooler, engine management etc)
A'pexi
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- hard to find, and I've not read about anyone who
actually![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
has one.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
IMHO
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
An extra edit:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
There are other ways, too
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- MWR in the states have all the bits to stroke the 1ZZ up to 2ltr, which would release a bit more power, especially if you went with, say, a PPE or TRD header, race cat and exhaust plus Unichip
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- maybe up to 180-190.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Or a 2ZZ swap
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- not too hard as long as your car is a manual
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(there was no SMT 2ZZ produced), 190bhp, revs galore.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Or a turbo 2ZZ.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I wonder if you could stroke the 2ZZ up to 2ltr, too.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Lots of options, really
