*Closed* 20% Off Supercharger Group Buy 2nd Gen 4.0 Engine

Good to know. Luckily, I have this for my trailer battery.

$178 CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Battery Charger,Black

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FRLO9Y

And, got my tracking number. Shit, I need to clear off a shelf!

 

I know this might sound stupid. But do we install the BD tune before or after the SC install. It didn't really specify.

 

I'd say post install.

 

Here's mine:

NOCO Genius G15000 12V/24V 15 Amp Pro-Series Battery Charger and Maintainer

this is like death by a thousand cuts with all the tools and shit i need to by. here's $20 cheap insurance to keep your battery at 12V during ECU flash: deleted

nevermind, the product i linked to is way less than 10A. i guess i'll see if i can borrow one.

 

Yep, it adds up pretty quick. $325 for a pair of Innovate LC-2s, $400 in Speedhut gauges, $150 worth of gaskets and stuff from Sparks Toyota, $50 worth of coolant from the local dealer, $350 for the 2.85 pulley/tool/fuel pump upgrade from URD, $150 worth of Russell fittings and stuff to properly mount the external fuel filter, $25 for a supercharged emblem... Probably some other stuff I forgot.

Oh yeah, $4,065 for a supercharger...

And damn it, Mobtown off-road is having a black November sale.

I really need a bedcover too.

This truck is expensive.

 

I decided that a fundamental key to my happiness was to delete the spreadsheets I had detailing the mod and spend logs for my Tacomas and motorcycles.

 

$4k for the supercharger, $3k in additional supporting mods.

Still, when you consider Magnuson was selling the S/C for $6k alone, if kinda makes you feel better. But it's still an illusion.

 

Don't think about it baby, just let it happen.

 

Damn, you had logs and spreadsheets? LMAO That's a bad idea.

 

Just the tip.

 

on the pc the bullydog software does not have our trucks:



what's the trick here?

 

I think its the 3rd one

 

i guess you're doing yours before i'm doing mine

 

I agree, unless yours is a manual transmission.

 

It is the 3rd one. I just did the update on the GT. I'll load the tune on the truck tomorrow. I'll be starting my install bright and early in the AM.

 

Yes, obviously you'll want to chose the correct transmission type! I have a tricky knee and I drive like a grandpa anyway, so mine are all autos.

 

I'll be starting on my install early as well. I hope you're around if I have any questions.

 

Please take pictures any notes we need to know!!!

 

The Magnuson installation instructions say to install the tune first.

I thought about this a little and this is how I see it. If for some reason the tune upload screws something up, it will be a lot easier to diagnose the truck when it is mechanically in stock form.

You have multiple variables when you have a tune AND a supercharger kit. If it's just the tune and everything else is stock, you know the tune is to blame.

I just uploaded the tune a few minutes ago. I just verified after uploading the tune that engine starts and runs before I started doing anything mechanical to it.
