I should be putting out around 200hp... Im not sure because of the intake?

It took about 2 1/2 to get the supercharger in, then another 2 hours for the ECU. The engine "whines" so loud, its sweet. You can hear it from like 3 blocks away. Its an Eaton 45 supercharger... close to a roots style. My friend still has my install pics, I'll get them up as soon as he gives them to me.[sm=smiley4.gif]

I was f'in around with my stang buddies after the install... I kept it under 5-grand (because of minor detination) and kept within 1/2 car length of one of my friends 302's. (just BBK cold air kit, BBK headers, Magna-flow exhaust)... If I hammered on it and shifted at redline, I might be able to take him... we'll see after I tune it a little.

Nice. Hey Polo, ive been trying to figure out why trd doesnt offer a blower for the 01 corolla. its the same engine right? My wife wants the supercharger for hers, but i cant find out why its not offered. and if its a cosmetic reason, like i have to "massage" one of the walls of the engine bay out with a hammer, ill do it no problem. but i dont know if they maybe changed the intake plenum or something. any info would be great.

its got the 1zz-fe engine right... the only problem is the hood clearance. If you had a custom hood or no hood at all, it would be fine. You would need the S/C kit only (not the TRD ECU...) then you will need an aftermarket chip to go with it. The ECU that TRD makes has a different fuel mapping than your 01 would take.
