I've been looking online at different superchargers, mainly the TRD one's because they are only $1700! They make one for the 03 Matrix XRS. I know that has a 2zz engine as well... Would that swap in?

Part# is PTR01-12031-06


I thought I'd as you guys as you would know more about this than I would.



I've heard that someone took the TRD Supercharger kit (centrifugal) for a Solara and used it on a GTS and it was a bolt-on, then called Vortex and got a smaller pully for it as well since Vortex made the superchargers. Could anyone verify if this would work? I haven't found any kits online....


I also found this online from http://www.toyotaworld.com/trdsupercharger.html
The TRD 1.8L Supercharger is now approved for installation on all MY 04 1ZZ-powered Matrix and Corolla (except 4WD Matrix).

The 1.8L Supercharger offers a significant increase in power and torque and an additional 7.5 lbs of boost. The bolt-on unit is integrally cast and is equipped with new efficiency and performance enhancing features, such as a race-inspired supplemental injector for enhanced full throttle performance and an internal bypass circuit for fuel efficiency and smoother operation at low speeds.

more info and other packages listed on that site



from more research i've found that the centrifugal superchargers are only found on the TC kit, although that also has the 1zz engine.... would that swap in? hmm....

It's been done before and covered as far as I know. You can search on it and find some more info. If I remember correctly, the XRS one doesn't fit under our hoods.

There are not TRD supercharges for the Matrix XRS nor for any 2zz. Might as well buy a Greddy...

Righto. No XRS/2ZZ TRD charger, just one for the 1ZZ found in Corollas, GTs, base Matrixes, etc..

Maybe it was the 1zz one that I was thinking of.

idk, but it must have been sometime this week. I was trying to access that same page about a week ago to research the same thing and it said the page was under construction still, so they must have just put it up.

Yeah, that site has been saying "Coming Soon" for months. Finally someone decided to fill it with info.

The trd sc def. won't work with the 2zz. Even with the 1zz you're better off going with something like what these guys are trying to put together http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=234353&page=1
After everything is said and done with the trd, you're almost up to the cost of the rotrex with half the horsepower.
