Hi everyone. Yesterday I was rereading the issue of Sport Compact Car that had the turbo Matrix project car. I started thinking about all the talk of FI on the 2ZZ and decided to do some more research. I emailed Alpine Development about the S/C they were working on last November. Last I heard they had stopped development on it because they had a customer interested in buying their S/C kit and reselling it as a "private label". Here's the response I got from them.----- Original Message ----- From: Alpine Information To: Robert Brooks Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 8:22 PMSubject: RE: 2ZZ-GE SuperchargerRobert, TRD is just about to release the 2ZZ Matrix application. Contact them or a Toyota Dealer for details. It should be released soon.Good Luck,PhilipPhilip le Roux Technical Director S.A. Alpine Developments, Inc. 7581 Acacia Avenue Garden Grove, Ca. 92841 pleroux@alpine-developments.us http://www.alpine-developments.co.za I'm going to contact TRD this week. We'll see if it really comes out but I really hope it does Just wanted to let everyone know.

Sounds nice, but they don't even have the freaking 1ZZ application out yet, which has a MUCH more boost friendly compression ratio. Unless, they run 3-4lbs. of boost, they're going to pop the 2ZZ motor with it's 11.5:1 compression ratio. I can assure you I won't be supercharging my 2ZZ...

Don't hold your breath. IF and WHEN they do I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig to try it. I need my engine in one piece

youd still have your warrenty best believe they'll make it reliable enough to not cause them problems.

You are on the right track, just with the wrong company. Blitz-na already has a supercharger for the 2ZZ engine. Available for the celica gts and matrix xrs.Check out blitz-na.com
