If fat wiring harnesses gives you nightmares. If tube bending machines aren't handy to you. If the math and electronics involved in wiring a standalone and then programming it with a laptop . . . pushes your limits. . .

You could just find a supercharged Mr2 at a junkyard and spend a day or two gutting it . . . then swap it in. SC's at junkyards are quite rare though.

Or you could buy a used SC motor from a japanese importer, stick with your N.A. transmission, and then scour these forums, and other forums, and junkyards for all the bits and pieces. Rockauto.com has voltage regs, ECU's, and ignitors. You'd also need the SC version of the AFM and TPS, and some VSV's. If you have pollution Nazi's like Kalifornia does, that would complicate things further.

In terms of time, and mental strain, I think going with a stock SC is easier than fabbing up a turbo and going standalone. And swapping in an SC engine isn't easy either. But I think its the easier choice.

I am lazy, and I admit.
