New to forum. 2011 supercharged from TX

whatup. first post, fellow enthusiast. Truck is in my sig. Will start a build post eventually. Cheers.

 

Welcome to TW Your truck sounds nice. Post up some pictures.

 

Welcome, fellow Houstonian.

 

Todd welcome...It is required that those who post saying they have a supercharger must post a picture of the rest of us to drool over.

 

So they can supercharge the 2011's now?

 

howdy from south TX!

 

I've been trying to buy a 2011 and the TRD S/C but my local dealership says this is not possible yet!?!? From what I've been told, the heads are different and it requires a new S/C to be produced. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Im the wholesale parts manager for Fred Haas Toyota Country. From what TRD said, I had the first s/c'd 2011 in Texas.

It is possible. The Tacoma still has the same V6. Its the 4Runner and maybe the FJ that got the head change. The only thing you have to do is make sure your code on your ECM matches what TRD has a reflash for.

I dont have any "beauty" shots, but Here is what I have. I will take more when I get time to detail it real good:

 

Welcome to TW Todd! Nice looking truck.

 

Truck looks killer man!

 

For those pondering superchargers, do it! It makes the truck sooo much more fun to drive. The main reason I got mine was for more passing power. This truck was every bit as fast as a 5.7 tundra before I put the lift and 35s on it. Even now, I can still pass with ease, but its not nearly as fast as with the stock wheels/tires.

The cold air intake makes the supercharger LOUD. The whine can be heard from far away. I only did it to clean up the engine bay, i thought it looked bad with the supercharger and stock intake/airbox.

I love this truck. I traded my z06 for it and have no regrets.

 

thanks for the complements!

 

Very nice! Do you plan on re gearing the rear end to make up for the bigger tires?

 

Yeah, you probably should re gear. It will make up the power you had before the bigger tires.

 

No plans to regear. Its not as bad as some people say. It doesn't constantly downshift on the highway or anything and is still a bit quicker than a stock 4.0 tacoma. If I was a offroader or towed heavy loads, I might, but seriously this truck will be on paved roads 95% of the time.

Future plans: bedcover & locking tailgate, indash nav and maybe a trd catback. I need a bit of time to save up for those upgrades though.

 

Check out the URD MAF CAL. it would help your truck a lot since you are s/c'd

veddy nice

 

Welcome from DFW, Nice Truck!! so how much discount can you get on a sc?

 

So is Texas the only place you can buy the new s/c Tacoma?

 

No tacomas come with it. You have to add it after you buy it. But any dealer in any state should be able to do it.
