Supercharger vs. turbocharger

Yeah, a maf cal is much cheaper than a TRD S/C. Haha.

 

From a pure scientific standpoint that is impossible. We are talking a 21-40% increase in power. That means you would have to adjust your fuel maps by that much. In other words, you would be flowing 21-40% more fuel. In order for that to jive with your ecu to maintain stoich AFR (or richer), you would need increased air flow. You cannot get increased air flow in that magnitude without forced induction.

 

I guess my question is, did I pay to much for what I had done? I am having a readylift leveling done as we speak and I am paying 250. for install and another 150. to put bilstein shocks/struts front and rear at trick trucks.

 

Yeah, I can tell you guys do DIY alot and I dont have the time or patience anymore, there was a time when I could pull my chevelle of on the side of the road and change rods and rockers with no isuue those days are long gone for me. Sucks. I always drove Ford SUV and never really got into 4 wheeling alot. I got a mountain in WV and a can am atv and now my first Toyota 4x4. I am sure I will be stupid in a lot of the things I do and say but after seeing the things you do to your trucks at least i will get honest information in lieu of the advice I get from someone who just wants to sell me something. And if your ever going to WV 1 hour south of morgantown I have a primitive cabin and a good couple hundred miles of unposted trails. Some Im sure will even give monster trucks like yours a good ride.

 

okay so coming off topic maybe. what horse power gains has anyone got from a TURBOCHARGER and/or SUPERCHARGER. im driving a 2014 tacoma TSS and im wanting to install a turbocharger, the reason is, that i drove a duramax for along time and i love the turbo chargers the lag its like the engine wakes up and i love the sound and power from of it. so i guess does anybody have any dyno charts from either charger?

 

turbo's are a hell of a lot more than plug and chug though, and every turbo setup will give you different specs

 

There's absolutely nothing like the sound of a turbo, our F-250 has a 4'' exhaust and a few tweaks done and the sound is just perfect, the roar when you get on it, the turbo whine when the A/C kicks on and when it's warming up.

 

The higher boost pressures in a turbo system will probably give you head gasket issues in the 1-GRFE. As it is with the TRD supercharger which is 6-8psi if I remember correctly the head gaskets last about 100,000 miles before needing to be replaced.
