v8 tacoma

Sad news then.

 

Just did a quick check and looks like the rods are pretty thin and people upgraded pulleys and started slinging them. Looks like stock pulley was adding like 50 hp, prolly could come close to that with headers y pipe and intake at half the cost just guessin. Or maybe a set of cams or somethin, i hate to say this but boost may NOT be the answer to everything

 

I'm sure that thing flies!

 

I have two Tundras (02 & 09) in addition to my Taco. Both Tundras are 4.7, the 02 has a TRD supercharger and the 09 is all stock. The 09 still feels more powerful than the 02, but then it has 100k less miles on it.

The 4.7 is bulletproof, but the only downside is having to change that timing belt, and then while your at it you might as well change the water pump too, it's about a $1k job at the dealer.

 

Not really, I have the same one on my 02. The previous owner put it on there, it just makes a bunch of noise to me.

 

Wanna sell your supercharger?

 

Simple and cheap fix is 1st gen 1uz rods

 

You have something wrong with your engine then cause mine hauls ass

 

I came here to say

 

You like that huh

 

You still got that vid of @TACO828 driving your truck naked, in reverse, in front of the church?

 

You call that driving?

 

Saved to favorites

 

Oh no, there's no way I'm tearing into that thing. It's been on there since the truck was new.

The 02 probably feels slower because it's lifted with oversize tires. And there's also the fact that it has wider gear spacing due to the 4spd automatic.

 

Worth a shot lol. Put some 4.88 gears and you'll love it

 

I call that "winning!"

 

Get the 5.7 in yet? Still interested in putting together a kit?

 

No 5.7 yet I will be pulling the motor and trans soon and I will be selling everything I have I'll keep you posted if you are interested in the mounts
