01997 Tacoma SX v6 5sp TVS1320 supercharged 300 HP! Haltech ECU, Reg Cab 800,000 Build

One question, your Tacoma dyno 300hp to the wheel?

 

No, close tho,

265hp rear wheel at 10.2 pounds of boost at 5800 feet were the Dyno was at.
My boost varies from 10 to 12 depending on the altitude I’m at.
So when I hit 12.3 pounds of boost rear wheel will probably be 275-285hp at 4800 feet.
You can definitely feel the difference from 10 pounds to 12.3 pounds.

Typical I’m around 11 pounds 270-275 hp of boost depending on outside temperature

Crank would be 300hp plus

 

Because of Denver’s unique area you can drive an hour into the mountains and be at 12,000 feet and only have 8 pounds of boost or head to Greeley, the flat lands and be at 4800 feet and have 12 pounds of boost.
So there is a wide range of boost and power depending where one is at with a supercharger.

 

Yes exactly what I need. I ordered it today.

 

Got my gear tech fender splash shields on, they fit pretty well and they are probably 5 times thicker than the stock shields.
Down side is these take at least a month to receive after your order, I think the seller waits for a batch before getting them made and are not in stock.
Otherwise great product.

 

oh man i am looking in to this, just got a quote with the 7th injector kit for 4700....hmmmmm decisions

 

Always wanted a set of dual exhaust pipes,

 

that has to be the first dual exhaust ive seen on a 1st gen that looks good!

 

Decided today would be the day to do new valve cover gaskets and buff the throttle body.

Then have the valve covers paint bright red Monday,


Inside of the engine looks amazing clean still

 

Looking good John. Have you looked into adding a oil catch can. I added one last month and this is how it looks after 1k miles

 

Thanks, Ive seen these before and I know they help prevent carbon buildup.

Because of my methanol setup, the methanol has eliminated any carbon buildup for me.

If I didn't have the methanol I probably would.

So im kind on the fence if I need it or not.

Heres my carbon free valves today

 

Got the valve covers back from the painters today,
well worth the 100.00

 

So after 625,000 miles the front driver shaft un-joint zerks BOTH decided to disappear, Mmm

That’s right they somehow both came loose and are gone.

Decided to just get a whole new spicer drive shaft
AND these spicer u-joints are sealed so NO MORE zerks to grease,
Spicer front drive shaft was 270.00 with shipping

 

John have you had any issues with the manifolds? i suspect i have a small exhaust manifold leak.

 

Mmm, no, from the joint? Or block head area?
Passenger side?

 

Hi stranger, been busy putting my truck back together, sent injectors out to be serviced and now installed today, been busy
