Wasting your time and money converting in my opinion.

It will be cheaper easier and better to turbo your 20V.

Buy some standard toyota GZE pistons and a head gasket.
Fit the to your engine with new rod bolts and head studs,
Get someone to make a manifold that suits your car and turbo choice,
Make an air box to replace the standard one that will hold pressure,
Run the standard wiring loom and all accessories like alt p/steer a/c etc as they are a pain otherwise,
and fit a aftermarket ECU in place of the std one.

that way you save on wiring, dont have to but a whole new motor,
dont have to shag aroung mounting things etc.

there are a few other small things to do aswell.

My guess would be $2000 minimum, up to $5000 depending on what items you choose to use, how much you get them for and how much you do yourself.

this is my opinion and i'm sure others will have other idea's.

wood definetly agree with matt dunn here , the supercharger wood just be a waste of money for minimal gains and the wrk involved behind it wood be worse than turboing it 8)

Do a turbo 20v conversion... alot more power, and will cost you a fraction of the supercharged idea you have!
Thats my 2c worth... 8)

Won't make as much power? Sure. If you're talking about top end power. But perhaps he's looking for something a bit more 'useable', being that 20v's are pretty shit below 5000RPM.
A roots type would weild good results for power in the lower RPM range, giving good street drivability. Top end power wouldn't be much, if it all, better than the N/A.

Of course, you could always go for a twin screw supercharger.... If you shit money!
