    I resealed the whole motor, replaced all the timing belt and all the idler bearings and water pump, the strange noise the engine was making when you had it was a bad fan hub bearing, so replaced that and the knock sensors were acting up so I replaced them and the wiring harness, 31,000 miles later and a little more than a year later zero issues since the install, as you know she runs super strong from the test drive, thanks again,

    Good to hear! Weird that it didnt make that sound while i was driving it. But it sat a little while so that couldve caused it. Im glad its working out for you!! :hattip:

    I think RSG has a bunch of swat options if I remember correctly. Also, they are the best Toyota off-road shop in Colorado, hands down

    Thanks, RSG OFFROAD in Lakewood has 3 or 4 seats you can sit in,
    They sell them but they are 20 percent more than the website I think
    and wanted 200.00 to install them, only takes an hour to install and is super easy
    LG1, Baha, are there for sure.

    Stock, I don't need anything else unless I wanted to add timing at 6000 feet,
    Snow performance methonal injection kit fixed all my issues and now I can run a 2" pulley without any issues

    Cool, was curious because in another thread about the supercharger you stated

    "When you tune the system it will spray at (5 pounds adjustable for me) and progressive it's way up."

    Correct, you do NOT tune the ECU, you tune the snow injection system, to determine the correct
    nozzle size, where your lean points are for when the system should start spraying adding 115 octane using a fuel air ratio gauge. Every setup will be a little different I would think depending on your altitude and engine, If you have a URD ECU kit system, piggyback then you can advance the timing and get additional power . The URD KIT does not address any of the heat issues created by the supercharger or adding a smaller pulley that creates even more heat whereas the methanol kit does address this problem without having to get An intercooler, methanol kit actually works better than an intercooler because there are no restrictions to airflow where an intercooler has air restrictions,
    Too much heat from higher boost levels will make the nose seal fail and burn the supercharger oil. Each pound of boost adds 10 degrees of heat to the supercharger,
    10 pounds of boost adds 100 degrees, so a methonal kit is very important if you want higher boost, an methonal injection kit can reduce temps by 100 degrees, win win situation

    About 2500 miles now, runs like a dream, the kit uses the smallest spray nozzle for my AFR needs and only sprays from 4.5 pounds of boost up, so the system is not on that much. I managed 1700 miles
    on my first gallon of boost juice, that's 6 tanks of gas for me. Every engine depending on altitude, boost, pulley and how you drive, etc will be a little different.
