TRD supercharger

My work truck is a 5.0 V8 and my previous truck before my Tacomas was a V8 as well.

Not saying I'd trade either for my Tacoma as a personal vehicle, because in no way would I, but the sound of a V8 is a bit intoxicating.

 

...although a LSx in a Taco would make my knees weak.

 

not to do with pooperchargers..... reported.

 

That engine needs to find its way into my truck. ..... And then be supercharged. Then i can give up on everything else in the world. Ever. No need to continue on with ultimate greatness achieved.

 

So is it now a loaded potatocharger?

I'm installing my pulley this weekend.

 

What light is on above your gear indicator?

 

Parking brake.

 

That's what I thought... So boost with the parking brake on?

 

He is in 'Park' so technically out of gear and not moving. An engine equipped with a SC doesn't have to be in gear to make boost, he is just rev-ing the engine from a neutral position.

 

Huh. I've never noticed or even thought about it till now, but then again I haven't installed my boost gauge yet either.

 

Gotcha.

 

To most people and the average joe, the 'Park' gear-mode pertains to an actual gear lock, mostly from the phrase to "put it in park." However, the 'Park' mode is actually an engine neutral, out-of-gear position with mechanical drivetrain lock or stop.

 

I'm sure they will still trd flash the ecu. They are flashing my ecu on Saturday for me, and I won't even be installing the blower on till I get back to the shop from the reflash

 

I have the distance cousin to this.

2015 Chevrolet SS Sedan

 

That's a good looking car IMO.

 

Thanks

It's getting it's fair share of mods.



I recently bought a cam, ported heads & some long tubes. Soon to be installed.

 

This was a project, but I made this console gauge pod for it.

 

I would buy the house.

I am older and have my house paid for. It gives me a little freedom to mod at will.

 

That looks outstanding. Wow.

 

Are you launching in 4wd? It isn't obvious in the video, but I'm pretty sure I get significantly more wheel spin launching in 2wd prior to my pulley install.
