Supercharger for 3rd Gen Tacoma?

Does anyone know if you can get a Supercharger for 3rd Gen Tacoma?

 

Nope, nothing available right now.

 

Tons of talk about it here:

$6,500 for the blower, $1,500 for the install, blown V6 and crying about it on TW, priceless!

 

I’m looking forward to it, as both the 3.5L and the 6 spd auto have proven bulletproof. People don’t like ‘em, but they can’t kill ‘em. We are going to see if they can be killed soon.

 

Too rich for me, there was and blower for a gen2 on Craigslist in Portland last week for $2,000 so that’s a much more reasonable price. Mine will have to stay stock until I win the lottery.

 

IMO if Toyota decides to get on board and service it then it'll be more attractive to people who are considering it. It wasn't so long ago that you can order a 2nd Gen Taco and get the Magnuson supercharger as a dealer installed option post purchase. Too bad the price is so damn steep at $6,500; but with that being said there is intrinsic value in that price tag IF Toyota will service it...Big IF. My fingers are crossed but not holding my breath.
I'm already salivating over the thought of running 285s without having to regear the rear end and have all that power and low end torque just like a Raptor.

 

Is there much servicing on a supercharger? They are pretty simple devices.

 

I meant service as in servicing it under the existing power train warranty.

 

You still won't have the power of a raptor

 

You still won’t have spent half of what a Raptor cost either.

 

U can get a raptor for 60 new So yea truck and 8k is more than half Plus the raptor has so much more tech

 

LOL seriously? Not a chance. You should be able to buy a 3rd party warranty, essentially an insurance policy, but no chance whatsoever that Toyota will warranty an aftermarket FI setup.

If you’re thinking about the 2nd Gen S/C, it’s a completely different arrangement. They had Magnuson(?) make the S/C kit for them, branded as Toyota, meaning Toyota has full control over the product.

Lastly, yes, you’re well over half price of a Raptor to do a FI Taco. I contemplated exactly this. My 2018 TRD OR was $36k loaded; a similar spec’ed 4 door Raptor is $70k but also offers a lot more. Throw the $6.5k super charger and even a basic suspension setup to get somewhat close to the Raptor and you’re looking at $45k assuming no tires, self install, no LT, no other significant mods. $45k —> $70k is a big jump, no doubt, but we’re talking a FS LT truck w factory warranty, a lot more tech, factory TT, and 35’s.

 

Raptor rolls on 35’s? Learned something today.

 

You’ll still need to re-gear. It’ll be cheaper than a blower and more effective than an under-geared truck with more power.
