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

Well I was going to buy a used ecu and try and get the trd flash but both dealer and gadget said a used ecu will not work... so I'll play with the afr for now and wait to hear if anyone has successfully installed a used ecu. The story continues.

 

Ok, got it. Saved all 20 different Tacoma TRD flashes too. Someone may need sometimes (just ask).

 

What's the ecu calibration id for 2007 trd flash? I'm just going to bite the bullet and see if this used ecu works. It's only 150$

 

Group buy on NEW ecu's? @TIM.TRDSparks

Now @FinnJ get over to the Mongoose thread.

Quite pricey. I think I don't need it, I have had the Techstream and Mini VCI cable a few years: http://m.uobdii.com/wholesale/mini-vci-for-toyota-tis-techstream-v500028-single-cable-2442.html

But for the reflash, I'm going to meet my friend in local Toyota dealer, I think they have better equipments for the flashing.

 

It depends:

 

It looks easy in youtube-video, even if immobilizer is included:

Many more videos about the same subject.

I don't think anyone needs a new one.

89661-04G61 replaces 89661-04G60, so those are exchangeable.

 

Hey guys. Ive been peeping in and out of this thread for a few months now, and still interested in getting a SC setup for my truck. Seems like you guys are running into a lot of reflash and afr issues. Is it still worth it to purchase one at this point?

 

Anybody have an issue with having to crank longer on cold starts before the engine fires? I'm having to crank 2-3x as long as stock.

 

I haven't experienced that. A couple of possibilities for long cranks are leaking injectors or a faulty fuel pump.

 

Save your self the 500 bucks and fuck bd. Get the trd dealer flash. At least there are piggy back computers that are compatible like ucon or unichip if you want options afterward. No one knows what bd does to the ecu..

 

Haven't seen that issue either.

 

Need the file for 2007 fj cruiser 4x4 auto trans

 

Thanks, Moody! Seems like you guys are trying to get around using the BD every way possible. Thanks again for the heads up!

 

Yep, that one was on my watch list. The 04G60 came with CAL ID 30480000. An updated calibration (30480100) was introduced to address a spark knock issue. The 04G61 was the new part introduced that comes already flashed with 30480100.

I would say yes, get the supercharger. BUT. Get the kit that comes without the Bully Dog. It's about $500 less. Install your supercharger and go to the dealer for the TRD flash. They charge about $100 to do it. You save $400 and a lot of potential issues.

^This is just my humble opinion, based on my own situation. There are many that have had NO ISSUES with the Bully Dog. So take what I say with a grain of salt.

Also, know that you're probably not just buying a supercharger kit. You'll probably want a wideband O2 sensor kit, AFR gauge, boost gauge, some sort of gauge pod, maybe a fuel pressure gauge, possibly a smaller pulley to increase the boost, upgraded fuel pump, maybe a higher flowing intake, headers, O2 simulators, y-pipe, exhaust.... It can potentially become a bit of a rabbit hole.

 

When your experience this.. is it after the truck has sat for a while? Once you get it started, if you turn it off and restart it do you still experience an extended crank time?

 

Good LORD, that's a lot of extras! Its not as simple as just dropping the SC in, reflash and call it a day? Of course, if I want even more boost I would def add all that.
