Supercharging 3VZE (V6 4Runner)
Tue, 17 June 2003 03:21
I'm looking into installing a SC14 Supercharger off a 1GGZE onto my 94 3.0L V6 (3VZE)4Runner. I plan to only run it at about 6psi. I just have a few questions that'd I like to know, if anyone can help please???
1. Does the superchargers electric clutch and original setup have to be used when installed on a different motor. I was hoping that I could just have the blower running all the time so the clutch and air bypass valve etc.. would not be needed? So then all I need to do is plumb the intake and outtake of the blower?
2. Should I run an inter-cooler it to avoid detonation and having to retard the timing? (thinking RX7 13B Intercooler)
3. Will anything with the fuel delivery system have to be modified or will the Air Flow Meter adjust everything to suit?
I have already added to the motor a Snorkerl, K&N, Extractors and a high flow exhuast system and removed the CAT, if that helps/changes any of the answers.
Careful with those engines. They are pretty fragile. I managed to snap 2 conrods and crack the block into a few pieces on a 1996 3VZ-FE in a Camry. The car only had 60,000km on it.
Boosting it probably isn't the greatest thing to do.

The V8 would be sweet but too much $$$... I'm hoping to pull the supercharger install off for a little over $1000.....
Anyway this guy did a neat install of a turbo/intercooled on a 3VZE. He's running 11psi and the motor seems to handle it fine. So I thought that mine should be able to handle 6psi pretty easy.
