I have heard a (reliable) roumour that there my be a supercharged Exige offered by Lotus. I have been looking for a supercharger kit for my 111R for a while and so far it is about the only toyota enging that I can not find a TRD supercharger for. What are the options for supercharging a 111R?

Th erumour is that the supercharger kit will only be for the S2 Exige but you should be able to put in on the 111R but may need to change the boot cover to accommodate room for it

There seems to be alot of work being done in the States on forced induction 2zzge's. See the forum mentioned above, especially the thread in their Drivetrain forum by "Forcedfed" (sic) about their turbo kit. Looks neat, well engineered and fits everything in the standard Elise engine bay. Still under development, though, ATM.

I wonder if TurboTechnics have anything up their sleeves? A SC conversion for the 111r which fits under the standard bonnet would be a pretty attractive upgrade. On a related note, forgive my ignorance, but how would a SC end up on top of the block? Surely it should be down by the airbox and/or the pulley? Pull out the standard airbox & feed and it looks like there is plenty of room. That said, I'm no engineer
