What would I need in order to install a supercharger?

Hello fellow tacos,

I just purchased a 2013 2.7L Tacoma Base, for a steal. 50k miles on it and I got it for $17.5. (I used to work at that dealership)

Anywho, I basically pounced on that thing without even test driving it. What I've noticed is that it is gutless.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally in love with this truck, but I'm used to V8's and this puppy is struggling to pass people going 70mph.

I've looked around this forum and while there have been questions asked around it, I thought my first post here could be specific to me and my needs.

So, I'm going to boost it. The question is:

1) Has anyone here done it

2) Turbo/Supercharger, which one and why

3) In terms of structural and mechanical changes, what would I have to do

Thanks amigos! Looking forward to talking to you all.

Theres 2 ppl here i think with that system on the 2.7

 

Yea that's the company I was looking at...

And only two people?

 

From my memory, but i could def be wrong... i just cant recall many ppl HERE with the 2.7 supercharger.

Is or was on here

 

Got it...where would they be haha? Unless it's just a super uncommon thing I guess

 

I think that's @n0rth

 

Another vid, but not sure if hes on here

Yes

 

Well most folks buy the 2.7 for longevity, reliability and fuel mileage

 

From memory, not as common as the 1grfe supers

 

Man you guys are quick! Thanks for all the help so far I appreciate it.

I guess I'm just getting a case of the grass is greener. With such low miles on this thing, you guys think it'd be worth it to keep and supercharge, or sell and upgrade?

 

Thats something i cant answer, sorry.

 

If you want fast, don’t buy a Tacoma.

The V6 is quicker, but a far cry from a V8, even from 20 years ago. For 5k+ you can supercharge the V6 and most folks only say “it feels like it should have come from the factory.”

To me “factory feeling” isn’t a definition of power. Blown V8s, sure. Blown V6? Faster than NA, but not worthwhile for me when the costs approach V8 prices (or exceed them, price a 2013 Toyota or domestic with a V8 for comparison).

 

Ford is rumored to be working on a Ranger Raptor

 

Well I guess what I'm getting at, is I'm not looking for speed. I just want more power. I can't even pass people on the highway right now with the pedal to the floor. I wanted to see if anyone else had the same feelings or not and what they did about it. But I appreciate the help!

 

Yeah sometimes u get the "smaller pulley makes it feel like it shoulda" too

It wont keep up with modern v8s really.

 

Yea that makes sense. I'm probably just going to boost it anyways haha. Thanks guys!

 

Welcome to tw we would like to see pictures of the truck.

 

That’s @SLVRNBLK
