Supercharger on high miles car???

by **adam2562** » Thu Nov 28, 2002 10:39 am

i just bought my solara and it has 96k on it its a 99, but believe me everyone thinks it has about 20 cuz of the condition of it inside and out... one person thought it was brand new, but anyway, with that many miles on the motor do u think it'll still be safe to put the supercharger on it? THANKS

Depends on how you drive. If you drive hard you may have a few problems, not that it would break things but it will be putting more stress on worn out components. If you just want some extra pep in your engine, i'd say go for it but stay with the stock pulley

Do a compression test.

Wow that's a lot of miles for a '99, I've only got 20K on mine. How's yours run?

To tell u the honest truth it runs perfect, i work at toyota nd drive them all day i've seen some with 40k miles and run worse than mine, theres not a thing wrong, well i actually do need strut mounts but thats all....

I got close to 72,000 on my 99 SE V6 and it's still running smooth.
