OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

But it would make the fake hood scoop less fake!

 

Hmm, yeah, you've got a point, but all the same....i guess I'd rather have the TMIC be an alternative option rather than the only option. Wouldn't be bad for some, others wouldn't want it

 

A turbo does increase efficiency and MPG on paper. Pressurized air is more dense and cooler than non-pressurized air. It's not going to increase the efficiency naturally aspirated 3.5V6.

However, a turbo 3.5V6 is more efficient than a 5.3ltV8 that puts out the same power. I think that is where people are getting confused about fuel savings.

 

This! I have a bumper and winch that I would really rather not take off to put on an intercooler. Butttt if the Intercooler goes behind the upper grill I would be a happy camper.

 

Is this your truck in their advertisement?

The red one is Mat's. the QS one is the first tester truck he used from a member here on TW to tune before he got his red test truck.

 

The red PRO is, same as my profile pic on the forum

 

How is pressursurized air cooler? If anything it would be hotter because your compressing it. My scuba and fire department air tanks get really hot when there filled with room tempair and when they cool down the air pressure decreases in said tank.

 

Intercoolers cool down incoming charged air.

 

I'm pretty sure the Gay-Lussac's law of pressure–temperature would disagree with the "cooler" part of that statement. For a given mass of air, if the pressure is increased, the temperature also increases. This is why intercoolers are used for the compressed intake air, when the air is pressurized, the temperature also increases.

 

Compressing a gas increases it's temperature. Yes, heat exchangers aka intercoolers, either air-to-air or water-to-air, can be used to reduce the temperature. The charged air never gets as cold as ambient. The other post was implying that compressing it made it colder than ambient.

 

I forgot to exclude ice/dry ice/evaporative cooling on the heat exchanger. In those case the charged air could become less than ambient but only until you run out of cold stuff.

 

Intercooler, winch and led using factory air filter box air supplied by a custom snorkel

 

Watching

 

Can't wait to see what people try to sell their used F/I 3rd gens for...$50k-$70k? lol

 

Lmfao for real. Too many people don't understand that you don't see very much of a return on the cost of aftermarket parts, if any at all

 

...unless the right person comes along.

 

But a $6k mod plus install adds $15k to the value, right? That's what a dealer would have you believe.

 

Once they see the ad on craigslist “600 pony power third gen tacoma” the panties will drop and so will the monies
