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!

a cheep idea i heard about if you are running boost from a already turbocharged engine and want less lag when showing off or just the extra power to kick it quick up and down the road, is the electric turbo for any car or truck can be found at www.jcwhitney.com the big down fall is you can only use it for a certain time before the motor needs to cool.

Based on your post, I'd have to guess that you have never used this electric turbo on an Mkiv Supra Turbo. Have you ever used this product yourself (personally) on ANY car? Do you know anyone (personally) that has ever used it on ANY car? Pardon my curiosity...

Okay, but exactly how does that info help answer da_supra_kiid's question: "Could you superchrage a supra and if so how much power could I get from one."? For what it's worth, I believe I could probably get in touch with Lance (owner of Toyomoto) if da_supra_kiid is serious (i.e. cash-in-hand) about purchasing a supercharger kit...

I have never used it on any car but I was going to try it one day but one of my friends has a integra turbocharged gsr and he uses it to spool the turbo quicker when he wants the the speed and when he plays around in the parking lots

Do you have any more info you can post? I searched for "Electric Turbo" on the link you posted, and it didn't give any results. I also searched by vehicle ('94 Toyota Supra Turbo), under engine parts, and also no electric turbo showed up.

To be honest, the last time I saw a product like this, it was little more than a leaf blower, and wouldn't have pushed enough air to even make a 6cyl 3L 2jz-gte idle faster lol...

go to key word jcw if you have aol or type in at a search engine but the web site is jcwhitney.com go under the car catagory at the top about the fifth over to the right and when your in the car catagory go to the left hand side under car and hood and go to air intake and fuel systems then go to turbos,superchargers & intercoolers go to the turbocharger catagory and it is the street freaks E turbo read up on it and see if you like it like I said I will not run like a turbo it has to be cut off to let the eletric motor cool down and my friend just used it to spool up his turbo
