NEED MORE POWER

I have a 03 extra cab stock everything besides a cap on the back. 4cyl, desperately needs more grunt. How can I modify this to give me some more power?

 

sell it and buy a v6

 

Where can I buy a supercharger?

 

btw it's rwd

 

You can start out by buying a tuning chip on ebay for about $20. That should add at least 20HP on a dyno. Also, try a cold air intake combined with a nice exhaust system and that should add at least another 20-25 HP, it just all depends. Lastly, add some octane booster/fuel treatment to your gas and that should give ya maybe 5hp or so. Adding all that up thats at least another 40-45 HP.

 

You sound a bit too serious there

 

Woah, woah. Are you claiming that my above statements, which have been tested and have proven to have real-world results, are nothing but fallacies and wishful thinking ?

 

Woah that supercharger is out of my price range. Maybe a engine swap?

 

or would a turbo be cheaper?

 

Trucks! on Spike TV did a STS rear mount turbo on a first gen tacoma. It's a universal kit that you're gonna have to make fit your application, but its for $2000. You're gonna have to spend a lot of extra $$$ to get it tuned though...

 

re-gear, or buy a v6

my $0.02

 

I'm pretty sure STS now has a custom kit for the first gen. But its a rear mount (not a fan) and I've heard that they have lots of problems.

 

I just saw this youtube video where someone put a supra engine in an srunner. Insanity

 

FTFY

 

Maybe it was the 2nd gen I was hearing about....

 

How about the Supercharged 5.7L Tundra engine into an X-Runner that Toyota themselves developed? 11 sec quarter mile

 

Oh yeah... this says 11 second range: http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/10/first-look-toyota-tacoma-x-runner-rtr-ready-to-race.html
