[ghostface]

the other day i decided to e-mail jackson racing to see what they thought about a supercharger for the celica gt.....they make the vortech superchargers for civics and all that...anyway i told themn that we were really lookin for more power and told them about blitz and WC...i eraes the e-mail by accident but i'll telly uo what thier responce was....they said they have no plans for the celica at all because TRD has all the rights right now to make a supercharger for the 1zz which basically says that TRD is the only company that can make a supercharger for 1zz right now....and they just saids sorry...but this means that they know that TRD is maybe starting to think about the uspercharger for the 1zz engine..lets keep our fingers crossed..

They are blowing smoke up your ass.

TRD can't take all the rights to something that hasn't even been developed yet. By the way, Jackson Racing uses eaton type superchargers, not vortech.

[larryd]

TRD doesnt have all the rights to it but see what happens is a company will make a kit, TRD will copy the design and profit from that companies R&D

[ghostface]

yeah sorry that was my fault i meant eaton suoerchargers..at the momnt i was thinkin vortech..i dont know why..but my bad

Toyota can't stop another company from producing performance parts or kits for any car unless they sign an agreement. So I think they are givin you a line there.

[iDRIVE]

You dont know, TRD might be designing the supercharger and Jackson Racing will be the manufacturer.

Some company are like that, they have a contract that the manufacturer cant go around the middleman(in this case JR cant sell directly to customer).

I have a strong feeling that TRD have something up their sleeves. And JR will be part of it.

Unfortunately, we will not be making any Toyota supercharger applicationsas
TRD has the supercharger market for Toyota. Sorry I could not be offurther
assistance.

Hi,
I'm an owner of a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S. I am curious why a company
of your stature has yet to even look towards the Celica? Jackson Racing
produces superchargers for cars that supercharged I can still beat at
the track, with my naturally aspirated Celica. Is there something that
we (Celica owners) are missing here? Why would you not want to produce
a supercharger for this car? I see no issues with space, as Blitz (
www.blitz-na.com
direct link to pic here http://www.blitz-na.com/Image/supercharger.jpg
) will have a supercharger out later this summer. I see no issues with
compression, (you make one for the integra 1.8 litre). So what is it?
Jackson Racing would have customers lined up around the block to buy
a supercharger for the GT-S. Please enlighten me because I'm lost as
to why this is...........
thanks for your time.

I then wrote him back and said ... hmm that's funny cuz TRD reps have told me they are making ZERO forced induction setups for the Celica,, HE DIDN'T RESPOND TO THAT. so he's full of _______ fill in the blank for yourself .
this is just the typical BS from a company that doesnt' even wanna look in our direction, so screw them.

Look at their product list. Unfortunately, they are not interested in making products for any Toyotas.

[dawgg]

they aren't gonna make a SC for the celica because it doesn't make business sense to them. If they made a SC and TRD also came out with one most people would go with the TRD because Toyota dealership can advertise it better, warrenty issues and just because it's a toyota product. This is probably scaring off other companies too. IMO they should have started development a year ago and beat TRD to the market.

[oo_snoopy]

Thats the same thing they told me when I e-mailed them.

OK, i wrote about this before. I was working a deal with Jackson Racing before and this is what came out of it. The reason why Jackson racing can not make a supercharger for the Celica is beacuse the use ONLY Eaton Blowers componets for their kits. TRD has a contract with Eaton for the componets that need to be used with the Celica and kind of Intelectual rights. So Eaton will not sell Jackson Racing the components they need for the kit. Jackson racing is just being loyal to their supplier so we are getting screwed by TRD not Jackson Racing.
