Default xA owners, we've waited long enough.... a new supercharger!

Finally the call has been answered... Power Enterprises is getting on the ball for us. They are introducing their next generation supercharger this January supposingly. They are going to have a kit for the bB, Vitz, Yaris, and xA. Read this directly from their website...

Power Enterprise Co., Ltd is proudly announce the company became a family of the ROTREX, distributing and servicing the superchargers and kits to the Japanese market. Power Enterprise is planing to display the total of 10+ kits at Tokyo Auto Salon Show in January 2008. Power Enterprise Toyota VITZ & Scion bB soon to be available in this summer in Japan

this is installed in the Yaris...


and on the Vitz...


and the new bB kit...


notice the top piping differences.

they are showing 142hp at the dyno ( assuming engine dyno, look at the baseline )

I remember rotorex, from my early subaru days in topic of discussion. There blowers are top notch. We can expect good things from rotorex, considering jackson racing is now partnering with them in some fashion. Hopefully this will materialize, rotorex has been around for awhile. I cant spell, im sleepy.


We will see if the follow through, follows through.

I love it when my car is used like that. That first photo is my car!

I hate to say it though, Power Enterprise isn't going to be releasing that kit in the US.

If you're really intrested in the kit though, let me know. I can help out.

BTW, I think that last picture is a 2NZ-FE, based on where the TB pipe leads to.

Unfortunately this kit will be VERY expensive after management and so on. Like 5k expensive. Not like I would bark at it if I had that much surplus in $$.

I dunno about 5g expensive. The kit will come with a piggy back, and everything else that you'll need to run it. As plug and play as you can get out of a S/C.

The retail is set at $4300. And thats just retail guys. If you want more information, throw me over a PM.

Still pricey but if it actually plugs and plays and last for a longer time I'm for it.

Yea. I can't exactly its cheap. But its designed to work. There is no CEL or anything else like that. The Blitz S/C, with headers, crack pulley, and axle back puts down 130whp. The P.E. S/C is expected to do 140whp on a otherwise stock yaris.

Yea, if this kit proves to be reliable, that might be my present for the box once it's paid off.

The kit is pretty good. I've had it on my Yaris for a while now. Its off right now for a redesign. I've got the Yaris prototype model.

I can get the Blitz version for somewhere near 3000 dollars. There is a group buy going on in yarisworld.com. I know that its for the Yaris, but I can get the Blitz one, and have it count towards the group buy.

I can get the PE version, as they're not availiable in the US.

Rotrex is very strict on their distributers. And they will not allow PE to sell the kit here unless PE buys the charging unit from a US distributer. Since they are the lone Japan distributer and get them alot cheaper that way, that's not gong to happen. SO unless you know someone with contacts in Japan to get you a kit from there, you won't get one. I was supposed to be sponsored and get the first xB kit, but they only brought one kit over and that's for his^^^ Yaris.
