4banger with superchargers

Hey so I'm at a critical point in my build and have about 4-7 grand to throw into power mods to help with my truck over the next few months. Ideally I'd like to stay at 4... (leaves more room for other mods lol) after Moab while I handled most trails well and the 4banger did its job I wanted more power on the long road there with all the gear and on the pre runner trails.

With that being said who has a super charger and how do you like it is maintaining it and the engine more work now? Are you happy with your choice or do you wish you just did a v8 swap?
Thanks much,
Jack

 

I would read Norths tacoma build he super charged his 4cyl and has run it for quite a while

 

What's his handle

You can do a 4.7 swap for around 5k maybe even less

 

Turbo?

 

How much weight? And what goes into that swap to still keep it a capable off-road and daily vehicle

 

Every time I look into a v8 swap the prices add up once you start looking at ecu or wiring, exhaust, transfer case and tranny.

 

This is mine. As for reliability the 2uz is pretty much built proof (1 million mile tundra) trans and transfer case is the same (a750f) wire will be the biggest thing to do which isn't too bad if you know what you're doing.

 

I daily and off road the shit out of my truck with no problems

 

What year is your truck?

 

@boostedka has a turbo 4 banger IIRC. I remember him saying in another thread that a supercharged 4cyl feels about like a n/a 3.4l taco.

 

I just resently installed a turbo on mine and i love it !!!

Does anyone run this on their truck? I need to know if it will work on an 11

 

I believe a simple resistor would work. I know someone on here has done it.

 

I would like to hear from the auto trans members. I heard that the auto doesn't work well with the turbo kit. Something about having hard shifting after installing.

 

What trans? 4 bangers use an A340 type. Mine is an A340E 30-40LS and the OE shift is absolute mush. I went in years ago and modified the 1-2, 3-4 accumulators. Factory transmission would need to be retuned to handle the power (higher line pressure) and shift even faster.

 

I have a turbo four-cylinder auto a340e and I installed the Transgo kit and I love it and yes it shifts hard depends on how big of a hole you drill while installing

 

Always start small and work your way up.
