2TR-FE Performance Thread

Was poking around as I do to see what else has been developed for our motor and I stumbled upon this:

That’s gorgeous. I don’t know who would need something like that but I know I do

 

Anyone know when the HPS tubes are going to be back in stock???

 

Who needs a URD MAF calibrator? Have 2...1 with the harness, 1 by itself................

 

Reached out to LCE about some 2TR-FE mods that are coming down the line. Here is their response:

 

There was supposed to be a magnuson supercharger but i guess that idea got scrapped. @hayrider2.0 had the prototype on his truck but nothing ever came from it afterwards. Been like 3 years.

 

Yea I saw that. A shame. Just don’t understand why they have made performance for 4 cyl Tacomas/Pickups a priority until the 2nd gen.

 

Gentlemen,
LCE is going to bring a Magnuson Supercharger to the market someday. The issue is with Magnuson from what I understand. Now don’t quote me but apparently the “Nose Cone/s” on the supercharger are apparently just Millimeters in length different. The old GM at LCE misplaced the part number and the gentleman at Magnuson lift the company.
After I returned the supercharger back to LCE they got the correct number. Now again don’t quote me but LCE has a few superchargers in stock. Now there’s a few hold ups!
1st. LCE is now working on another project, what it is I don’t know….
2nd. LCE is or wants to make an “Installation Video” as they are not like the other company that supplies superchargers. LCE has heard of the issues from this other company and their instructions. How do I say this they absolutely SUCK!! I owned the other companies POS system so I have first hand experience. The instructions are very difficult to understand but once you figure out what they are trying to say it’s not that difficult. But truthfully their instructions SUCK and their supercharger will self destruct!
3rd. The only real way to tune the supercharger is with Heltech but you need a Boomslang harness to make it plug and play
4th. LCE is from what I understand looking for a vehicle to use to make the instruction / installation video for the supercharger. They want to use our 05 regular cab 5 lug. But with the issues I’m having with the LS Swap Taco I have my hands full. Plus if I was to install the supercharger again I would want to refresh the engine with all forged internals and ARP nuts and bolts. So I could turn up the boost!!

 

Thanks for the update @hayrider2.0 !

 

So it looks like the 2tr starting to get more notice for the turbo outlook for 05-12 for the ecm adapter, too bad they don’t have anything for 13-15 yet. Be a little more fun to have a some more power out of this little motor.

Good to see some progress!

 

Now gentlemen please don’t quote me but, from what I understand Toyota changed vendors or something to that effect about the wiring harness to piggyback the Heltech to the Toyota ECU. Because originally I was going to supercharge a 5 lug 2015 Access Cab we had. But I was informed something about the wiring was different.
You need to contact Gab @ SNP to get the exact details.

 

I came across these headers from afe looks similar to LCE

 

I have a used LCE takin up space in my attic..............

 

Can confirm that the bad valve is unconfirmed. Said engine is still sitting in my shed untouched haha.

But I'd feel ok buying an engine like that for 1g

 

PM'ed

 

Replied...........

 

VT makes a roots blower for the 2tr, the use the same unit for mazda 3's did some research and alot of guys seem to use it with no issue autocrossing it as well. May be something to look into

Ive been eyeing this kit for over a year. Just havent pulled the trigger. I know alot of mazda guys run it. Also they supply alot to europe on the 2tr prados

 

Ah so i am not the only one, i have been waiting on someone here to test it out lol. Had seen prados with them as well, pretty tempting looks like an easy install bolt on blower
