Need advice on CAI's and such.

Dont do any mods right now! Save all your money then supercharge it, thats what i did

 

Thats a lot of $$$

Have any data to back your claim about Scavenging?

 

So data meaning math, like flow rates vs pulse width, not a dyno run that does not show what was used ( components) nor the conditions of the runs, besides on DT's site is the new LT headers for FJ and Tacomas that shows just the opposite.

Engine with a blower? I don't know what that is.

 

OOOH. Heh, one day, one day. So about how much would a CAI help after a supercharger?

 

You do not know that, you're making a conclusion based off of an opinion. There are a multitude of possible varibles that could be over looked on one run versus another, such as Short term and long term fuel trims adjusting from a component change, to say that scavanging/exhaust pulse is the culprit with out knowing the root data is reaching.

 

try not to change the subject, as my question was directed to you and data that quantifies your conclusion, posting a JPEG of a graph means nothing without conditions of the test, likewise to actually suggest that you have concrete proof by the 'Seat of your pants" in an LS2 car means nothing at all as well, giving advice as you commonly do here by unsubstantiated opinions.

So as to your reply to the details and the actuality of "your installs" ( Tacoma)
1) when you installed your long tube headers were any other modifications made prior to any test?
2) were like conditions performed pre and post install?
3) after your install were the fuel trims re-calibrated and how were those done?
4) Was the MAF re-calibrated before the test of the long tube headers?

Again, I'm asking you for the "proof" to your findings in order to assess the validity of your answer.

 

From what i understand, the main difference between S/C's and T/C's is way the compressor is driven.

S/C's are belt driven off of the crank

T/C's are driven by exhaust gases over turbine blades.

So naturally the power is avail through out the RPM ranges with a S/C.
With a T/C the real boost doesnt happen until the exhaust gases are flowing at the higher RPM ranges.

Someone that knows more about this should chime in, since i really dont know if the number of cylinders makes a difference supercharging or turbocharging.

Save money, because it's probably one of the most expensive upgrades!!!

Pff, yeah, anything like a S/C or a T/C or anything like THAT's coming AFTER college... A ways a way lol
