    This thread was just created yesterday. Post what you need if you can't find it.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/supercharger-owners-loan-buy-sell-thread.664742/

    Hptuners is fine for all injectors as far as I know.

    For tensioner most went with rousch. I think @12TRDTacoma had a steeda and switched to a rousch.

    Page 1 of this thread is the condensed Bible of info.

    well, everything held up over the 3 days and 100+ miles of dirt road and trail adventures this weekend. Definitely put it through some rough tests. Ran some pretty technical stuff we stumbled upon, some high speed cruising, and 100+ degree weather. truck was running nonstop all 3 days with zero issues or leaks. Super happy with the Pulley's and the oil pan fix.

    Ok, thanks, I’ll plan on the Rousch

    I looked on the 1rst page (before my original post) but much of the discussion around belt size may been posted before people started trimming the Green Gates belts.

    If using the 70.2” trimmed belt does anyone know if I will still need a tensioner?

    Cut my boost gauge in half tonight so they'd send me a replacement. Figured someone in here might find the internals interesting!DC01D467-09DA-477F-BC1E-A095B4E991C0.jpg

    I was surprised after looking at my data logs. Definitely tapping out at WOT which is crazy being at 5500 elevation. 2.1 pulley! :D

    So I’m thinking about upgrading. If we can shave down the SC inlet close to 76mm then a tundra aftermarket CAI tube would be ideal. ;)

    If you just did cam gears and have not done a log in over 6 months take another log. You may find voltage and maximum MAF airflow may be getting close to the topped out end.

    You give me hope as I'm at about 3500'.

    I think the SC inlet can be done but you'd have to get rid of the gasket and RTV it together. That's what I'm planning on doing. The SC kind of bottlenecks itself the way the inlet wraps around the unit to the rotors so there will always be a limit there. I see no way to easily open that up any more with the wall thickness and it would be dodgy at best to try.

    No quick change hub with a 2.1 I bet! Did you have to shave the snout off at the retainer clip?

    I've pretty much done widening the outlet port (maybe roughly 15%) from the rotors and that's been a pain in the ass with the one piece supercharger housing. Going to see if I can do any inlet work right at the rotors next.

    Trucks not moving at the moment. That's why I'm fucking around with it so much lol! Clearing the backlog of parts and things I've wanted to do while I've got the time.

    I plan to when she runs. SC is currently off and disemboweled, I killed my old alt pulley removing it and NST sent the wrong one so waiting on the replacement. Tundra throttle body should arrive any day. Lots of porting/grinding to do yet.

    Then once she's on the road I get to drive like a granny cause my clutch needs breaking in lol.

    It’s the 2.3 and NST overdrive kit. So probably equivalent to a 2.1 SC pulley.

    Yeah I figured the gasket had to come out to make the 76mm work. The truck build is never ending

    dose it with methanol and a 2.3 pulley should be good.

    It's hooked on poor man's meth (winter washer fluid) already. 2.3 for a solid year.

    Not possible without chopping the snout and retaining clip off.

    But I like the way you think

    I'd still like to see someone throw in some Injector Dynamics injectors. See how they vary from the FIC injectors, in the scaling.
