Cant help u with parts but id be curious about the 18rg and supercharger idea you have and how its planned to be done
A project ive been pondering for a long time is a Ra28 , 18rgeu with a 4agze supercharger on the side .. I reckon it would be heaps fun with good looks to match

I was talking to a guy in brisbane the other day and he has got a supercharger on his 2T celica engine in a TA22, i am now thinking about doing this as well, how do you decompress the engine so it does not destroy itself? and where do you get the pars from?

Hmms - hows he set up the supercharger on the 2t motor ? Mine would eb an awesome bottom end if it was swapped back to low compression ?? Any contact details on the person ?

the person who i was talking to did no mods to the engine, just bolted up the supercharger and proceeded to root the engine. It only runs on 2 cylinders as it has blown the other two out and it still goes harder than any other celica i have seen.
he has just done it all dodgy, crappy pipes and dodgy mounting brackets and stuff but it goes hard and would go harder and last longer if it was set up properly eg. decompressed engine.

the 2tB in mines was a drag racing prepared engine - but at current its running high compression .. Id still like to know what supercharger he ised and if it was a blow thru setup or actually running off an EFI intake of some sort ..
Id need to dropthe compression considerably too - though a supercharger could be fun

Stock 2t's run an 8.5-1 compression im pretty sure - though i believe the 8 or lower is better ..
A blow thru supercharger - hmms - in all honesty youd probably be better off with a already low comp 2tgeu ( aka tim frosts 4sefed ) and running it via the EFI system , bit i think its got somethign to do with the piston shape and rings to lower it best to create a new thread to get the question asked

the guy said that he had a injector system for the 2T and that the charger off a 4AGZE and the injectors would work well

that would work depending on what he means by an injector system ( ie an aftermarket EFI system or an adapted one - with the 4a supercharger - and if it is actually for a 2t or not..
Tim frost used a 4agze supercharger on a 2tgeu - didnt need to change the internals of the motor - just needed tio get the supercharger piping right - then get the EFI computer mapping correct ..
Ended up getting an 85% HP increase over the standard 2tgeu though
Keep me posted - any pics too would be appreciated of the setup

as far as i knew all 2t's were carbyfied ? Hmms - maybe a later import model or something .. teh 2tgeu's were the only EFI 2t series that i knew of - UNLESS there was a 3t version that had inhection on the single cam block

the guy works for 'all jap' wreckers and importes - so it probably is off a import only car

proably a 3t-eu im giessing - thats the only EFI version of the t series thats single cam - the rest are twin cam ones ..
Hmms - if you got one of them - guesisng it bolts to the 2t head you might be lucky

yep there was an efi 3teu, but i'm sure that the inlet manifold pattern doesn't line up with a 2T inlet pattern, all the T series inlets were different. you could do a custom inlet but that would cost a fair bit.
hey KAOSAD, was the guy u were talking about called Ivan? if so then he used to also have a supercharged 2TG before the 2t that was killed when it was taken for a joyride. he got around 15psi before it died, and apparently did low 13sec 1/4miles. i want to supercharge my old 2t sometime, but inlets are the trouble. downdraft SU's were what the guy used on his 2tg i think, very expensive.
suck-thru setup is better than blow thru, and efi is better than suck-thru. efi is best by far.
i'll be interested how you go aswell since i'm still thinking of doing it myself.
also, i've got an 80thou copper head gasket for a 2T engine, which would lower your compression by about 1.5-2.5points.

yes, i got it made for my 2TG which had 9.8:1 compression, and i told the guy i wanted around 10psi out of it. not sure about your rings, i thought the only real problem was detonation, blowing up the pistons, but im thinking that if tim frost can use a supercharger with 8.8:1 compression, then you could supercharge a higher compression engine with this gasket.
It was made up for a 2TG and has the extra timing chain cover part which can easily be cut off for a 2T engine. I had it made-up from a guy in melbourne, who charged me $170 for it so i'm not real keen on selling it to you cheap.
damn i wish i worked there

ive been tryign to find out details on that motor of ages - does anyone have any printed details or specs on it ???
I would love to do this to My 2tb - as i know the bottom end is strong enough to handle the boost - and my head is already worked over ..
I would need to lower the compression though
It appears hes running some sort of EFI setup and possibly an aftermarket blower ?? Can anyonwe confirm this ?????
