2010 4.0l + trd sc

^ Hay Scott,

Can you keep us posted with this seller. Hows the shipping and arrival? Thanks so much. I'm going to try and figure a way to swing this pass the Ol' Lady.
​

 

yep, just like i did with the same seller and TRD CAI.

 

received tracking numbers for the TRD SC and Fit Kit today

also spoke with TRD and they tell me no TRD SC is available for the 2010 Tacoma. i'm really bummed. i don't want my dealership to install this on my truck if it's not going to work to its full potential and be covered by the warranty. i KNOW it can physically be installed and work properly but i have doubt about the ECU reflash. FUCK!

 

When do you expect to receive your s/c? That is a super deal! Did seller confirm shipping?

 

Take it to a diff dealer. Just remember if they fuck up the install its their fault.

 

the seller provided UPS tracking numbers

 

they wouldn't know that the reflash isn't available for my truck until they had already installed the SC. so they would have to uninstall the SC and i would get my truck back they way it is now except some greasy hacker had his paws all over my engine compartment. i'll keep it as is and hang on to the SC until Toyota/TRD figures it out OR until everybody here forgets about the great deal i got and i can sell it for a profit LOL

 

Wost case scenario pick up the Map2 ECU, and do a custom tune, and call it a day.

If there is a will, there is a way.

 

Map2 ECU? What is this? Will it maintain my factory warranty as well as the TRD SC dealer-install warranty?

 

I spoke with Allan a few weeks ago. At this time he cannot help with the 2010.

 

It is another tuning option. You are protected by the Magnuson-Moss warranty act as far as installing the mod. But the dealer will do what they want to regardless... so if you are worried about factory warranty, then it will put fighting an uphill battle if something bad does happen. its something that you can win, but it will be a battle.

 

i understand the Moss-Magnusson act in that the truck will be warrantied but anything that could be affected by the SC and ECU could possibly not be warrantied. the SC "could" affect everything engine and driveline related and the ECU "could" affect pretty much everything that has a wire connected to it. my truck has 5000 miles on it, i want the warranty to continue and i don't want to give toyota or their dealerships any reson not to satisfy any warranty claims until my warranty period is expired.

 

You may or may not get them to warrant your TRD super charger if you install it without the ECU re-flash.

 

that's what all this is about. i want them to install it for the extended TRD SC warranty of 3/36,000 vs me install it for the TRD SC warranty of 12/12,000. and i don't see it operating the way i want it to without the ECU reflash. the SC requires different fuel curves, spark advance, etc which is altered by the reflash. i will not install it or have it installed without the ECU reflash.

 

I'll wait for the plugs to become un-proprietary LOL

 

cancel the order on your blower kit. If you buy it you might have it collecting dust for 6 months and when they do come out with a kit it might come with changes to the blower kit itself also. Don't let the dealer b.s. you. The 2010 taco is yet not compatible with the trd supercharger. period.

 

on a daily driver with 5000 miles that you want to run reliably for 10 years?

 

while i respect your statement, can you validate or provide documentation to validate it?

 

I'm just saying. Its your money and you can do what you want. I know for my '09 the blower had hard changes to it also. I was the first one in my dealer (well know toyota supra dealer ) to install it in my tacoma. This was only months ago. The fact is i believe very few people are getting blowers installed into their tacos. This might not warrant immediate attention from toyota to updated ecu information for new models up until halfway through the production year.

 

i'm pretty sure the part number for the TRD SC is the same for 2005-2009.

as far as money is concerned, i could sell this at a profit within minutes.
