OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-5-29-mega-thread.557305/

He did have 4.88s and swapped for 5.29s

 

well when did 5.29 come about, I remember him mentioning there was nothing over 4.88 offered at first

 

Maybe May or June?

 

This was pretty recently. When I ordered my stuff from ECGS about 2-3 months ago, there wasnt many options. @RedBeard1 mentioned in the OVTune Alpha thread that he spoke with some folks recently and the ratios are available more than 4.88.

 

thanks for that, that's awesome.

I won't keep questioning gearing as i'm going off subject of thread.

 

Considering this threads main topic doesn't come around until the 15th, it's free game until then

 

and after.. but also until..

 

Less likely to be fun police before

 

The day OVTune threads stay on topic is the day OVTune threads cease to exist.

 

Yep we have 5 ratios that we can choose from on the 8.75”.
3.90:1 OEM
4.30:1 OEM
4.56:1 OEM non US Market
4.88:1 Nitro & Yukon
5.29:1 Nitro

 

Very interested on how the final product performs. I honestly think the Tacoma would have been a better truck with a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. Say a 2.4 with a variable vain turbo would have been perfect mated to a 8 speed transmission.

 

Ford would certainly agree with you....

 

Right LOL. Its amazing what kind of power/efficiency you can get with a small displacement engine with forced induction nowadays. That's why days of the NA engine being used in new vehicles are getting shorter & shorter. Toyota needs to get with the times. More turbos & gears LOL.

 

But that was an inline 6

 

Assuming stock a Tacoma is about 220 to 230 whp, how reliable will +350whp be? That is a significant increase. Can a stock 2GR-FKS handle that or are those numbers for the more "advanced" kits where internals are swapped out?

 

I really hope the intercooler will fit with aftermarket bumpers/winches. If the IC stays in the upper grill area that would be best from my point of view so that it doesn't interfere with the winch and still has airflow.

I would happily sacrifice the LED bars I have in the upper grill for an intercooler...

 

Hopefully this lights a fire under Magnuson's ass to give us some info on the supercharger.

 

He said the 1GR was able to handle 500whp on stock motor, the 2GR has a forged bottom end which can handle more power, so 350 should be nothing

 

We already know they're scared of the turbos

 

Im probably in the minority here but i don't want the turbos for making a race truck. I want them more for the additional power and torque provided and to kind of experience a toyota version of 3.5L ecoboost lol
