Installed supercharger finally!!!!

OP, how many miles on your 05?

 

Nice, have fun with it! The TRD supercharger maxes out at 110MPH. Don't ask me how I found out.

I believe it's 0-60MPH in 6.6 secs?

 

I have 140,000 mi on it....oil change every 3,000 mi with mobile 1 just recently switched to penzoil ultra..

 

How much did the kit end up running everyone with them installed?

 

kit with install for me was 4500

 

Where did you buy the kit and where did you get it installed?

 

bought the kit from trdparts4you local toyota dealership did the install

 

Sounds reasonable to me. A supercharger is something I have had my eye on.

Although, I am looking to get some complimentary parts beforehand.

 

Was seriously thinking of trading my Taco in on a new diesel pickup - but now thinking of putting the S/C on my '09 to give it a little more "oomph" for pulling my 21' TT to my hunting lease. I really love the versatility of this "little" truck & it's O/R ability when called for. I don't really need it to be any faster - have the Shelby GT500 for that. Called my local dealer & they wanted $2K to install, guess they don't need the work with all the recall business lately? Having installed a full turbo kit on previous vehicles by myself, I can't see why a fully equipped, professional shop should take more than 1.5days for this install. Guess I'll just install myself - can't be that hard.
Anyone using the S/C Taco for towing? Wondering whether heat buildup is an issue in hot southern summers - or does the intercooler do a pretty good job?
Thx

 

The intercooler keeps the engine right at stock temps. Although my TRD radiator cap might be helping that too, not sure.

The excuses I got from all of my dealers was that they have either never done one or have done very few so they want more time. After the lowest price I got was $1.5k I just called a buddy and did it myself over a weekend.

If you have installed a turbo kit you shouldn't have a problem with the S/C. The instructions Toyota includes are very well detailed and if you can't figure something out smanz did a full photo write-up of the install. If you can take an engine apart down to the intake manifold, replace a radiator, and replace pulleys/belts you should have no problem doing this.
