    If you have the same engine (2ZR-FE, i think--- probably wrong, tho), then you should be able to. Personally, I'd search for something better.

    im pretty sure its bolt on... but my first thoughts would be that the air filter routing might be different between the cars... and the interface with the ecu for the fuel enrichment might be slightly different, causing issues.

    TRY IT AND LET US KNOW!

    Being a centrifugal type supercharger - you have a little more flexibility in fitment, but not a whole lot. Probably would get it to fit - but more than likely would have to fab up some different brackets to make sure you have enough clearance. Probably void the warranty on the TRD supercharger as well (non-specified usage) - Magnusson-Moss Act will protect the engine side (given that you tuned it correctly).

    I'm with cgreen - only adds about 40HP to the power equation. I'd look elsewhere to get those gains - or just buy the 3.5L V6 model. Adds 100HP to 268 ponies, you get about the same fuel economy as the blown S/C, cost is about the same in the end once you factor in labor and tuning - but the V6 is ready to go out of the box with no warranty or drivability issues. Downside is that you would lose the standard transmission option - but IMO, a tranny swap is much easier to deal with than forced induction.

    I just bought a camry se 2009 with the trd rims, what i am interested is in cold air in-take and i am not sure what there called but i would like some trd rotors and caliburs. But it doesn't seem trd makes anything for the camry. Is there even any future prospects this might change some day?

    it takes a while for any performance trd parts to come out, rims, spoilers, and other cosmetics are easier to make and mold, and as for the supercharger if its the same 4 banger it should be possible with some custom work just as the corollas have to do sometimes, but i want to see a V6 SE with the supercharger and the HKS headers and exhaust pull one down a strip see what it can do :D
