UPDATE TRD Supercharger - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ChristosG · 02-21-2013, 06:53 PM

I assumed it was TRD USA making this since it was always advertised for the Scion FR-S, not the 86.

If you didn't read the article bout Ken Stout Racing World Challenge FR-S, they went to TRD JAPAN requesting for SC kit & not TRD USA.

Looks pretty OEMish. TVS ain't bad.

Not what I had in mind, but I love the front intake opening

Mods - thread merge? There are two threads on this.

Did no one think this might be a picture of a test version for the racecar, which would have no A/C as its not needed/used on a racecar? I recall the SEMA word being TRD wanted to race the FRS in some series and had to release the SC kit to the public so the racecar could be FI.

I like the design (it's a little large but it works). The throttle body in the front will improve airflow relative to the Innovative/Sprintex configuration. Thanks for sharing, excited to see the development. With it being TRD, I wouldn't expect a ton of power.

Were you thinking more like this?

I would be sorely disappointed if TRD thought it was a good idea to delete the A/C in the production kit.

Reason why this thing is missing AC is cuz it's for Ken Stout Racing World Challenge FR-S & not for production ver. That SC is one & only kit (so far).

I know, it's just all these supercharger setups look awkward. I liked the HKS one when the prototype debuted, but the final product was ehh...

I like the front opening of this because you can use a stock or aftermarket air box with little to no modification.

I'm getting blue balls from hearing about this and the innovate kit with no ETA for either...

I hope this is ready in time for the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, I'll be attending.
