Tacoma Electric Boost?

Fixed it for you

 

Yea I was seriously considering 4:88’s. I probably will go to them before I switch to 37’s. The 20% reduction in power at a mile high is brutal.

 

I would love to but the raptor doesn’t fit on any of the trails in the Rockies. I want the raptor power and suspension in taco size.

 

Build a Samurai, put it on a trailer. Tow it with a Raptor. Solved.

I want a Sammy so bad.

 

I’m kind of stuck in my build now as a daily driver long travel overland setup. If I was starting over, I would build a 1st gen double cab for wheeling and overlanding and then a daily driver that has horsepower

I’ve checked out the sammies but with that wheel base, i’d spend half the time upside down.

 

Really nobody gonna ask about this?

 

This thing?

Uh, it was discussed starting in post #3, did you read the same thread I did?

 

Yea but I'm not sure if you did, post #3 and beyond reference an electric blower that uses electrical power to force air into the engine. Post #1 seems to describe an electric motor attached directly to the crankshaft via belt, some type of direct electric assist that does not involve air induction. I believe successful operation of the latter would violate some laws of physics without a battery of Tesla proportions

 

wait for the Ranger Raptor to come out in the US.

As a side note, not sure but a 48V mild hybrid conversion might not be too expensive and you get a little temporary HP bump from basically a larger alternator/starter motor.

 

Kind of a neat concept actually:

It's just a big motor pulling from a battery system and driving the crank. Good for a boost and Regen braking.

 

Kind of wonder if you could implement that sort of low tech... put a button on your steering wheel that activates the motor and a small power gauge to indicate how much battery you have left.

Otherwise when you aren't using it, it just runs as an alternator.

 

put smaller, lighter tires on

 

watch this video the put a torque amp on a shitty car and dyno and pick up a ton of torque and hp
