Yes. Afaik (as far as I know), you'd have to build your own kit though. In other words, I'm pretty sure there is no read-to-bolt-on kit that you can purchase.

If you don't mind running high-octane race fuel, in theory you could make 800rwhp or more with the oem Mkiv TT (2jz-gte) engine.

I've heard that a company from Florida, Toyomoto, that did do a few custom supercharger installs on an n/a (normally-aspirated/non-turbo) Mkiv Supras, with some success. Afaik (as far as I know), they never produced a full bolt-on kit for this application. Also afaik, the results were not 'earth-shattering' (eg. about 500rwhp or less). Although you'd have to build your own brackets, modify your crank pulley for a belt, and custom-bend/weld/etc. all of your own piping, there's no reason you couldn't do it. Please let us know if you decide to!

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
