David P Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 For better/for worse, there is a growing interest with supercharging Supra's, both N/A and T.T. I (soon to be GZE) have yet to meet either Barney GZE or Adam soon to be GTZE, yet I am sure we will have much to discuss when we do. MkIV club members are becoming/have become World leaders with these Z conversions, I believe we should be proud of this and I have created this group as a focal point. I'm not a 'badge man', but maybe OE looking Supra GZE and GTZE car badges should be awarded out at a Club meet like medals? Barney Brendan, you are hereby awarded the coveted order of the GZE, may your Supra wear this badge with pride! P.S. Post a pic or 2 in the album.

David P Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Are we three GeeZErs or the three GeeZedEe’rs. If anyone has a link to a 1J or 2J supercharger project, please post it up and I can keep these on one page near the top and build up a database. This 1G-GZE supercharger set-up would be the easiest to transplant onto a Supra, it’s a Toyota made Roots M90 charger and the 1G straight 6 cylinder 2.0 litre engine is not a lot different externally to the 1J and 2J engines and this supercharger is good for 7-8psi. This could easily be developed into a bolt on kit for 1JZ and 2JZ-GE engines. One of these would turn an N/A auto into a tyre smoking stock T.T. Supra slayer. These units can be picked up in Australia for around $150AU. I remember this has been done by someone in Ireland, but I can’t find any details? There is also a part completed 1G-GZE supercharger onto 2JZA80-GE (N/A Supra) project shown @ Nengun performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't do facebook Barney, and it's a bit late now anyway I hope, but could be a useful link for someone else. I was informed today that Toyota have been cheaply selling off new old stock of 1G-GZE complete engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 well my charger has let go big time and munched itself up.Looks like one of the rear bearings let go big time and the other one was on its way out aswell.Check out the pics in my build thread.

David P Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 These jobs fight you all the way, it's just another wind-up, but look on the bright side, at least it was kind enough to do it close to home and when fixed you will have a sweeter, donkeyless whine to listen to.

barneybrendan Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just won one for £225 deliverd.Time for round 2.Has anybody ever used a supercharger blanking plate.They are supposed to help the flow ,but make the charger a bit louder.I think it basicly acts the same as welding the noise reduction slots closed.

David P Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I haven't heard of that mod before, are you dissapointed that your new charger will be quieter? Post any links you have to this please, I am interested to learn more about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have been researching the blanking plate, it appears that it definitely increases the noise and possibly increases power! It goes on a bit, but almost gets there in the end. http://xjr6.co.uk/index.php?topic=22.0 What do you think of this mod Adam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
