TRD supercharger

Finally got my gauges from Speedhut. Time. That's what I need now.

 

I like my Speedhut Boost gauge, but wanted a digital AFR so I wouldn't have to look at an analog gauge to try to read my A/F lol. AEM Uego works great for that. I'm slightly considering a Lotek gauge pod for fuel pressure and maybe Water/meth but It looks so ricey to me, ugh.

 

Love my AEM Uego. Having the digital readout with the colored "gauge" around the outside makes it easy to read at a glance.

 

I got a digital AFR from Speedhut that uses the AEM Uego controller. Now I just need to figure out the wiring.

 

You should check out the aem failsafe. I don't use any of the data logging or protection features, but it does monitor both air/fuel and boost with one gauge. I've run uego on all my other cars and it was great. But this allows me to cover both with only one gauge

 

But he's still lurkin. RL yesterday

Y'all got chopped haha

 

We only did it so he would feel better. He's been in a deep depression since his ban.

 

Hell of a dust trail. Looked freaking cool.

 

Yeah I never get over 5.5 maybe 6 psi with my stock TRD s/c setup.

Question: I've been considering adding the smaller URD pulley, is it a fairly easy install? Or does the supercharger have to come off to switch out the pulleys? I'm new to the forced induction game, just got this truck last month. Definitely loving it so far

 

Here is my write up:

Easy enough with 2 guys, assuming your tool doesn't grenade into your engine bay like mine did.

 

Thanks man, I'll save that for when I tackle it, hopefully this summer.

Sorry to hear about the grenade, lol

 

I had a shop do it. I got the pulley new from someone on craigslist. So paying the shop and buying the pulley was less then the pulley and the tool.

 

Temp delta is your friend for the install. I bought mine off another TW member and specifically waited for winter to install so the truck would be colder.

 

Finally have my gauges and the AFR controller. Thinking hard about urd's y pipe.

 

Do it......you won't regret it.

 

Why are the back two cats on there in the first place? Do the front ones not do the job?

 

The way I was made to understand it......the rear 2 cats are pointless and the rear 2 sensors are just flow sensors and are not monitored by the computer.....as opposed to the 2 front o2 sensors.
I was worried about doing away with the rear cats and sensors as far as throwing codes. I was completely reassured it would not. .......to this day, I have not had a problem what so ever and am totally glad I swapped in the y-pipe.
Edit.....one extra thing I did and glad as well was I had the one tip welded on the pipe. You'll see when you get it, it actually comes in 2 pieces. Shipping purposes i believe. I rather would have it welded making it one piece as opposed to using clamps.

 

Yeah i need to have mine welded uo along with my exhaust when I get the truck back. Probably just gonna drop at an exhaust shop and have them install headers and weld up the whole exhaust

 

For those of you wanting to install a winch after installing a supercharger, I found an easy solution for the intercooler pump that needs relocation. This doesn't require draining the intercooler system and only involves one modification on the truck

1. Unbolt the intercooler pump from the hood support bracket
2. Using a grinder, cutoff wheel, etc. remove all of the material below the welded nuts that the intercooler pump was bolted too and sand the edge smooth
3. Flip the clamps so they line up with the mounting nuts and the pump is under the core support
4. Bolt the pump back onto the hood support bracket and make sure the pump is fully under the radiator core support
5. Enjoy a beer

Here's a picture of the finished product, I failed to grab some during the process but figured having the steps written down would help someone!
