Word from the SEMA show in the United States says Toyota Racing Development (TRD) is working on an aftermarket supercharger kit for the Toyota 86. That’ll be sure to please current and prospective owners alike. And with reports of an 18 month waiting list down under we’re guessing there’s quite a lot of prospective owners.
For the fencesitters they’ll be pleased to learn the 86 and Subaru BRZ will soon have a genuine point of difference. Subaru is working on a turbocharged BRZ, and we’re sure having a choice of forced induction will provide Toybaru fans with plenty of forum fodder.
No word just yet on when the TRD supercharger kit will be available, or what type of kick it will give the 147kW 86. You’ll just be thankful it’s on the way!

This is good news. I think the BRZ Turbo might have higher peak numbers but a supercharged 86 could have more character and a nice linear power delivery.
Il Like will have one in JAMAICA wrere i can exercise it properly
THANKS NICE MOBILE
Wish everyone would get over the”it needs more power” thingy.
Had one for three months now,and it goes just fine.
o-100 in 6.6 seconds is pretty reasonable for $30k RRP.
Also,good luck with forced induction on 12.5:1 compression.
What could possibly go wrong???
Cheers
