Supercharger

Does anyone know anything about supercharger development for the 2017's? Would like to install one and make the truck a little more responsive. Traded in a 2011 F150 Raptor for this truck and miss the kick in the butt when you stand on it.

 

Allegedly I saw someone post something, somewhere, about Magnuson developing a blower. Not sure if it's real, or a time line

 

Hmmmmm

 

I spoke to "Tim" at Magnuson and he said they are working on a kit for the 2017. No release date yet.

 

URD claims to be working on one.

 

I've heard that both Magnuson and URD are working on it but who knows when that'll be. And you'll kiss your warranty goodbye. Supercharged or not, it's not going to compare to the Raptor.

 

Sub'd - I am not looking for Raptor power, but just something that is a little more to make the truck even more fun to drive.

 

If they build one, I'll be placing an order asap lol. I need one too.

 

what happened to the TRD superchargers? I remember they were always available for the V6 engines? I only know about them because I was thinking about a V6 swap for my old MR2 before it get totaled by some idiot.

 

TRD stopped making them for all vechiles like 3 or 4 years ago.... Don't think they sold enough... Cost/benefit?? Anyway, they were all discontinued. If you can find the right parts for the engine your looking for they cost a arm & leg now... Was helping a friend look for one for his new Tundra.

Agreed that would be bad ass to have a TRD supercharger... Keeps factory warranty.

 

Traded a Raptor for a 3rd Gen Tacoma??

 

Magnuson made the Superchargers that had the TRD name on them. Toyota dumped them. A year later Magnuson was given permission to sell them under their own name.

 

Ok, so they stopped selling them.... I had seen a stop sale order posted on some forum while looking... To bad. I get that it's effectively the same parts that Magnuson is now selling, but the fact that it was a OEM part at the time was cool because of warranty... Not that it really matters, but if you can get a supercharger AND keep your warranty, why not.

 

So they are still around? I remember they were pretty much plug-n-play. Best upgrades for the time-money involved.

 

Yep. And $1k less than what Toyota sold them for.

Just not for our generation...

Hopefully in a year or two.

 

Are our motors the direct injection ones or have they not switched to that yet?

 

URD is $4900 Ouch!

I paid $3900 for the 2nd gen TRD SC and fit kit, including tax and freight from www.TRDparts4u.com. This was a few years ago.

Installed it myself and paid Toyota $100 to flash the ECU.

 

man.... CARB approved?

MR2's because they can use the V6 and the second Gen Tacoma are really great tuning platforms.

One of the most reliable engines with a CARB approved supercharger?
