*Closed* 20% Off Supercharger Group Buy 2nd Gen 4.0 Engine

Hmm. Good to know. I'll tell them. Hopefully they looked. thanks

 

Does anyone have a picture of a URD TCAI installed with a supercharger? I took mine off before the install because I didn't think it would clear the intercooler. If you do have it, did you have to make any modifications?

 

I'll try and take some pictures this weekend. I had to cut about 2in off the top inlet pipe for it to fit properly. It's a tight fit but it works.

TRD supercharger

 

Argh! This fuel pump upgrade isn't as easy as I thought! Rant over, thanks for reading.. carry on! Lol!

 

Careful with that rubber hose. It can get pinched when you press down on the top plate. I took mine back out and modified the top of the bucket so the hose makes more of a straight run.

 

i haven't done mine yet.

what happen?

 

I averaged 16-17mpg on 87 octane before S/C. The BD says I'm averaging 12 now running 93 octane. On the interstate I get 15-16 tops. My driving really hasn't changed much. Just FYI.

 

Sounds similar to mine.

 

Nothing out of the ordinary I guess, it's just a lengthly process. all the hoses and clamps are in very tight areas. It took me an hour to get the breather hose off because the space was so limited around the wheel well. The instructions are not as in depth as the SC instructions. I'm thinking about buttoning everything up and having someone do it instead.

 

If you have any questions about it I'd be glad to help you out. I've had my pump out twice already.

 

Ditto - it was depressing watching the MPG on the Scangauge so I stopped watching it.

Anecdotally though, mileage is supposed to improve when towing - if I get a couple more MPG with the trailer and a little more oomph climbing the hills, I'll be happy.

Wait till you start wheeling goes down even more

 

Driving a supercharged Tacoma and talking about MPG is like eating a large pizza and trying to cut calories by washing it down with a Diet Coke.

 

Yeah - guess I'll have to add the jerry can option to that swing-out bumper I keep eyeing. It's only money, right?

 

Drove the fj to and from work today, 100 mile commute all together. It was freakin sweet! No downshifting up the hills and pulled like a freight train passing cars with heavy headwind to boot. My fj is a heavy pig too, winch bumper with steel skids and 305 Mtrs etc..

 

@jberry813 calls it fun coupons

 

Or trying to soak up the grease off the pizza with a napkin before you eat it lol

 

Did you have to fab a new bracket to hold the front piece?

 

Same here. My UG was reading 16.4 avg before install. It seems to have settled down at 15.0-15.1 right now, although I am on 255/80/17s so I'm not sure how much that has effect on the speedo/odo. If I wanted mpgs, I would buy a hybrid accord. Those things have just as good mpgs as a prius, and I wouldnt feel the need to drive it with a paper bag over my head.
On a lighter note, I finally got my ecu flashed correctly yesterday. No charge from Toyota for the troubles of having to go back and forth. Runs like a raped ape now (I expect to see the mpgs drop on my UG again). Now, just need to install gauges. Where are you guys tapping your power for the wideband from? I ordered an add a circuit, supposed to be here tomorrow. Trying to figure out if it would be easier to run all the cables together for the boost and afr through the firewall, or try to go under the passenger compartment under the driver seat for the afr and through the firewall for the boost. Any tips/pointers for wiring are greatly appreciated
