Ive never really understood the desire for people 'to be different' even when it flys in the complete opposite direction of sense, reason and cost effectiveness.
That said,
You are in for a pain in the arse trying to turbo the 100kw N/A 4AGE. the following needs to be done to build the engine you want.
- Rebuild with strength and lower compression
- Different injectors
- Different management
All of which when bought seperate and when the rebuild work is done will have left you with a large smoking hole where your wallet used to be.
As said earlier, you could run a couple of measly pounds of boost with the standard engine. but you'll still need different management and probably different injectors.
In all seriousness, swap it for a 4AGZE before you break it and go from there. Even the stock 4AGZE management and injectors can handle 14 odd psi. Then you'll have an engine that is strong, capable, reliable and packs some grunt.
You can even sell of the SuperCharger and recoup a nice portion of the cost.
I also bought my complete 4AGZE for a mere $650, take away the cost of selling the following: (approximate prices)
- Supercharger $300
- Steering pump $ 40
- Alternator $ 40
And mine will only end up costing $270, add $200 worth of turbo, $100 of RWD inlet and $300 of custom intercooler and im set.
