High Performance 4.0 V6 Motor?

So basic understanding of the English language is lost on you. Fair enough, we all cant get it.

 

WTF happened in here?

 

Someone I rubbed the wrong way in another forum wants to have a flame war. It was actually a promising conversation making good points for other members to possibly learn from until now.

It is now thread jacked.

 

Remind me to harass you next time you say something that you imply an application or instruction and someone is too ignorant to understand this concept being presented.

Nothing out there is truly and is rarely ever "bolt-on" it's the nature of modifications. Bolt-on as a statement means that someone has a part designed for a certain application with a set of instructions (usually easily followed), some saying "Bolt-on and go" means following the instructions provided and once that is completed you're ready to "go"

Please Refrain from more nonsense in this thread.

 

My apologies to OP for taking part in the thread jack, I will withhold from posts now until it is relevant to the thread.

 

The theduck911 and whippersnapper mentioned, the reflash is the easiest and safest method for most. If you have your dealership install your s/c, and know nothing other than you are trying a s/c installed on your vehicle, they will do the reflash. No questions asked.

Only if you know of other tuning methods or options, would you ask not to have it flashed.

The TRD reflash is a very safe tune, and hands free....even works up to 9 psi, and quite well.

TRD s/c only comes with ~6 psi out of the box.

 

oh yea thats it

Last one I promise

 

Whats the farthest one has been pushed?

 

This was my 1st gen S/C on my 99'
pushed it to about 7psi.



But the 3.4 is a different animal.

The 4.0 TRD s/c is a better designed s/c IMO.

 

Piggy backs work....some what, but not well on the Tacoma. In-line EMS' such as the X-1(no longer developed) or UCON(new product and very nice), work much much better than a piggy back. Lots more control over engine functions, and usually, in these two cases, very easy to use for the end user.

I have a standalone. Not bragging, just saying the first ProEFI Pro128 on a 1GR Tacoma. Loads of features, and control over everything. Since it, the file exists for all others who want to use it, as well a plug n play harness availability.


The point to keep in mind however, is that as an EMS moves up in control-ability, so does the price. As such, it is easy to see why so many go for the reflash at $75-90, versus my full standalone at $3200. And I haven't even purchased all of the available sensors.

 

If you plan on boosting to 9psi on the reflash, you must contact myself, or theduck911. Prior to installing extra boost.

 

That depends. Pre Snakebite or Snakebite? Refine the question more please.

I agree. Plus, I don't think the 3.4 came with an intercooler.

 

Bingo!

I live my dreams of boost vicariously through your build thread.

Hey whats a rough estimate on the factory compression ratio?

 

10:1 until the '12 1GRs in the FJ. Which have the dual VVTi, and 10.5:1

 

I have no clue what that means but it sounds important.

Doesn't the s/c or turbo affect the compression?

 

No, it's based on bore, stroke and clearance volume. It's the ratio of combustion chamber's largest and smallest capacity.

Torspd has aftermarket pistons and I think it bumped his compression up to 11:1 (not 100% on that).

 

Actually bumped mine down to 9.2:1. The first set of forged pistons that i had were by JE, and 9.5:1.

Lower means that you can handle higher cylinder pressures from the added boost, with less risk of detonation.
