The Death Trap - Street Build TRD Supercharged 2011 SR5

I want to figure out where all the loose screws are. Or, I just needed more bass. Now to break out the oscilloscope. It's already crazy but the gains on the amps are at halfway, maybe there's a little more to be had...

 

The loose screw is behind the wheel!
I think you are going to need to change out the glass for plexi.

 

haha! No doubt about me being the nut holding the wheel.

I am legit worried my windshield is going to separate from the seals.

 

I don't have any pictures because there wasn't really anything interesting to take pictures of, but I lost all my coolant two days ago - as I was driving home late in the evening, suddenly there was steam coming from under the hood - the lower radiator hose had just popped off. I noticed while working on something else, the connection to the radiator was leaking so I tightened the clamp down. It was fine for a month, then it just decided to pop right off. Had my dad drive me to get more coolant, then checked the coupler to make sure it wasn't cracked, and put a new clamp in and filled it back up. Threw out the old clamp because I can't trust it any more.

My luck with truck issues continues though, the hose popped off when I was about 20 meters from my garage so I avoided a tow.

 

You animal hahaha

 

So. 85w140 transmission fluid. In cold enough temperatures, it's so viscous that it stalls the engine when it's in neutral. Had to push the clutch in (normally don't have to because I use the clutch start cancel) to start it and now I'm sitting on the clutch while it warms up. As we speak. Real time update.

 

Do you have constant tension hose clamps or worm gear, on the lower radiator hose?

 

I have a T-bolt clamp on there and a few other connections (not all, since some were using worm gear and holding just fine so I figured don't fix working things)

 

Let's play "what's in the box". Right and wrong answers accepted.

 

Goodies

 

New filter for the URD intake

 

You win for 50% correct. There is indeed an air filter, and there's one other thing in there...

 

A box that big I would guess a new supercharger.. and if I’m right how much for the old one?

 

You're kind of right. I got a new nose drive - poor man's rebuild I suppose. The old one was making a pretty bad noise, although still working ok.

Funny though, after I went on a 850km road trip, the noise went away so It's still in there. So not for sale just yet.

I'm going to make my own pullers since my 1.87" and hub are a little different design than most people's and there's nothing off the shelf that isn't going to be a pita to use. So that will be fun. Literally, I'm looking forward to that part.

Oh yeah and @BassAckwards there was a filter in there too.
