Previa supercharger?

Toyota guys like them. They come off of certain model Toyota Previa minivans. They do about 7-11lbs of boost, they're small and they're cheap. The coolest thing about them though is they have an electronic clutch, like an ac compressor. So you can get extra power or better economy at the flip of a switch. I think they'd be a good candidiate for a super turbo setup. What do you guys think?

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

01-30-2013, 04:42 PM #5I think some of the Mercedes superchargers have a clutch also c230 kompressor?

(01-31-2013, 02:06 AM)jenyus Really? Only 160? That doesn't sound right, I see previas everywhere. I've talked to a couple guys who have bought them at pick n pull for $50
I was joking lol, but in all reality I think I have only seen about 3 in my life, maybe they just weren't big sellers in the central valley

And you need to retain the bypass plumbing if you use the clutch because it's a positive displacement supercharger.
The mercedes turbo diesel will create minimal boost at cruise anyway, to me it seems like a complex method of achieving the same result, a forced induction mercedes diesel..?

Previa supercharger surely has a much smaller displacement than the mercedes supercharger because of the toyota's smaller (2.4l) engine displacement?
