2.7 vvti alpine developements supercharger

Well, I think I'm gonan do this, but I won't be able to until the summer, so more waiting for me I guess. At least I know it's out there, though!

 

iv been email john back and forth....what if i could get a group buy and maybe *cross fingers* get the price down a little more? any interest? if so send me a pm with your email address and phone number and I will see what I might be able to work out for us

 

Hmm very cool.

Seems like alot of money to spend on boosting a 4 banger though. How practical is this in terms of hp gains, performance, ect with respect to price - compared to just upgrading to a v6?

Would this make the 4 banger faster than the v6...?

 

i think it was said in previous posts that a benefit with adding the supercharger to this 4 banger rather than getting the v6 is better fuel efficiency. you lose maybe 1-2 dd but if you can manage to not always have a lead foot your already that much more ahead of the v6 with fuel efficiency.

if you have the 4 banger and want power, nothing going to work without the supercharger. thats how i see it. cool you can do intakes and exhaust with very minimal gains or improvements, add those to a supercharger and your talking better hp torque and even moreso responsive throttle

 

Just saw the thread today, but URD should be coming out with their's soon too. It'll be interesting to see how it compares with the alpine.

I think I'm going to wait for URD's as well. Something just doesn't feel right about having to ship this kit from South Africa.

 

Their new site has this information page here. Anyone heard of Perfect Power piggy-back units before?

 

Will this shorten the life of my engine??

 

Considering how stout the 2.7 is and how long Toyota has been making it, I am surprised it has taken so long for a bolt-on forced induction kit to become available. Tear it up brothers!

 

Hey guys new to the thread and stumbled onto this set up, sounds like a hot set up for the 4 banger. I do have a question , could you run this set up with a automatic transmission ? I was thinking on doing this at one point with a after market turbo and the guys told me they could not do the system with a auto transmission due to the ecu. Can you get by this being that it is a completely different induction system?

 

@Riprun

Not sure why they couldn't do it. Maybe the shop wanted to reflash the ECU instead of using a piggyback tuner which you can't do on a Toyota. I see no reason this would not work on an automatic.

can this charger kit be fitted to my 2010 hiace van ?

 

Just ordered it today.

 

^ hell ya man!!!!

 

Let's see whose got the fastest 4 banger taco in tw!LOL

 

if its the 2tr, possibly lol

 

How'd the ordering process go? Did they give you an estimated time of arrival?

Edit: Apline said in an e-mail i sent to day that the last of the discounted units would be bought by a dealer in Miami, so I snuck in an order ahead of them. Figured no time like the present to make the plunge, especially if it's cheaper! (The discounted price essentially makes the shipping from South Africa free)

And for those who are interested, "Door to door delivery will take 4 – 5 weeks."

 

i need to save money now for this...damn

 

Yeah, they said about 4 weeks. One week down, three to go. Just sent them an e-mail inquiring the progressssssssss......YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

Same reason why I jumped in too. Savings is ridicous. What's your thought on BOVing it?


-Damn. its only been 4 days...thought it's been a week. This wait is killing me.
