2012 Blackout Tacoma TRD Sport 6MT

awesome truck.. i hope to have one similar to it in a few months. Dyno numbers look pretty good... that's impressive tq for being stock (well except exhaust)

 

very nice truck! you're making me regret buying a red one haha.

 

Picking it up with the new S/C installed within the hour.

 

Lucky guy... Post up some dyno numbers with the supercharger if you can.

 

Will do; scheduled for Dyno tomorrow early morning.

Put about 150km on the S/C today and it is a noticeable improvement. I had the box fully loaded with dirt and then brush piled above the box all tied down and put some load on it...pulled very nice.

The whine is very noticeable after 3k rpm...I like it I had a tire go flat on me after three loads to the dump so I must've ran over a nail...swapped the spare and I'll get the spare put on my good rim and have the other one patched and throw that on as my spare. Shitty but these things happen.

Dyno 8am

 

now im REALLY jealous! make sure to post pictures! or a video of the dyno would be great.

 

Niccceeeee!!!! Videos + pictures are required!!!

 

Nice truck. Love the color and wheels.

 

Well here's the dyno...not really impressed by the numbers but it was 80% Humidity today and 90'F and the circulation wasn't very good in the building. Still expected another 10hp+tq but stock intake and cats are probably holding me back a bit. I'll be back for another one when it cools down to see if it makes a difference and some more miles on it. Might upgrade to a cold air intake and delete some cats in the future

Still got an increase across the whole powerband and it's definitely noticeable

 

I expected more but it's pretty much what TRD advertises for rwhp. Remember this is completely stock otherwise and the only other dynos I've found don't have a baseline to compare or have other mods. Not to mention the conditions were not ideal.

how much the cost of the supercharger and install?

 

3890 From trdparts4u and 10hours labour (they don't do many S/C installs up in Canada)

 

do you see a lot of dings and scratches on your rims?..I was thinking about coin that, but didn't know how easily the paint will come off..

 

Commanderwiggen did you color match the grill and bumpers? How did you take the Toyota emblem in front and side.shops has advice not to paint on chrome but I like the color match so I may just go ahead and paint it. Thanks for the help

 

I originally had my supercharger installed in the middle of summer and literally the day after my supercharger was installed I took it over to the dyno. It was hot, humid and numbers were a little lower than I expected.

Today I did another dyno to compare...same fuel, no different mods, same dyno...only thing different is less humid and 15 degrees cooler. Keep in mind both these graphs are in SAE so WinPep automatically calibrates for SAE to keep the numbers realistic based on temp/humidity conditions so we can cancel those factors out. 6000km on the truck with the supercharger is the main difference.

Results: Pretty much made another 20hp & 20tq throughout the majority of the powerband. I noticed this power increase about 2000km after the initial install...all of a sudden it started to wake up a bit more.



and

Stock vs. Supercharged...same dyno

 

hows the plasti dip holding up on the rims since you did them?

 

Does the plasti- dip hold up to road salt?
I live in central IL just curious

 

Plasti-dip holds up very well...I bought a used set of '12 wheels off another member recently and had them powdercoated but it lasted for a year no issues
