Tacoma Performance Upgrade

If you had a $10k budget, what engine modifications would you make to increase performance?

Im not talking about looks or sound, but modifications that would actually increase horsepower and overall engine output...

Go!

 

Engine swap?

 

Custom supercharger or turbo are probably the only worthwhile options without a motor swap.

 

I’d save those pennies for the Twin Turbo setup OVTune is releasing beginning mid-Sept...

 

Would it be possible to add a V8 to the Tacoma? I would imagine an engine swap would cause all sorts of error sensor nightmares...

 

Someone already swapped for a V8. It works

 

Anything is possible with a stand alone. You can't have everything working with a stock ECU on a swap. It'll never work as you want to.
Haltech makes awesome ECU systems for any budget , any car. I'm currently installing a Cosmo motor into an RX7 running it with a Haltech ECU.

 

LS swap

 

Can't wait to see the dyno results, should be interesting!

 

^Yeah, I’ve spent all year waiting on Magnussen to give me some details, and OV told me mid-Sept for Twin Turbos via an open comment on Facebook.

Cooperation points go to OV, for sure. I can’t wait to see what they can make the truck do.

 

Anything is possible with enough monies. $10K is not enough monies.

 

Like putting a hemi in a Taco?!

 

drop in a chevy tree fiddy with a three on the tree.

 

OVTune Twin Turbo details being announced on 9/15. Save your sheckles

 

buy a $10,000 race car.

 

I'm waiting on that myself but I wish there were a supercharger option as well. Magnusun according to people on this forum is working on a unit for our trucks too. I'd rather rock a supercharger over a twin turbo because I don't need to race my truck around and supercharger seems more like a smoother and more reliable option. This is based on my wife's Audi supercharged 3.0 liter.

 

Supposedly, that supercharger is done and ready but they have no tune for it. This is all 2nd hand or 3rd hand info probably

 

Lol of course we get a stifling event that disallows us another option. I hope they can work it out or possibly work with OVTuned to get something viable.

 

I think once the TT info is out on 9/15, then Magnusson may have a fire lit under their asses to get a tune and release their product. Competition in this space can only help to make it better for us consumers.

 

I completely agree.
