TRD Supercharger Awesome!

Hey everyone, just wanted to provide basic feedback from a new owner of a TRD supercharger on a 14 Access Cab Manual Offroad 4.0. I've had it for 2 days and it keeps on getting more responsive/ powerful. What a pleasure to drive, and its so much fun. I love the quick acceleration, and the sound. It kicks ass around the corners when you floor it...lol! That's it for now... but my recommendation thus far is: find a way to go buy one.

 

So jealous, really I am. Enjoy in good health, I bet it is a riot with a manual transmission.

 

Dude, Im halfway saved up for it now. I gotta stick as well, how high do you get the rpm's in first gear?

 

What can one expect to shell out including proper installation for the supercharger? Is there a price difference for manual vs automatic? I wouldn't want to spend more than I should, but at the same time I wouldn't want to be cheap and get hosed.

X2. TRDparts4u is selling the SC for $4,290 at the moment.

 

...I've been pondering the sc on a new '15, but not sure I'm down with the sound. Would love some opinions. Seems like the URD style would be much better in the sound dept, but would Blow the warranty.

 

welcome to the club man!! its a blast, first mod I had done.

 

Hmmm that's too bad.

I hear the trd sound on YouTube and whatever, but its hard to tell how it really sounds. I don't want it to be an annoying pig squeek every time I leave a red light!

 

I am seriously considering the S/C for my X-Runner.

Fun enough to drive now, another 70ish HP would make it even moar funner.

 

Just out of curiosity, what is the impact of the supercharger on the mileage?

 

Nil.

If you drive it conservatively you'll gain a ½ or 1 MPG.

If you're in it all the time you'll lose 1 or 2 MPG.

It's noisy. It's not that noisy. I think after the blower breaks in, it quiets up a bit.

 

Gadget is still working on it and you're right, it is the plug harness he's having issues with since Toyota doesn't like to share the specs of the plugs. When it will be addressed? only Gadget will know for sure.

 

I would love for them to figure it out, give us some other options.

 

I called URD a while back and asked why. The answer I got was Toyota isnt releasing the engine mapping anymore.

 

I hate you. Have fun kicking ass, Brotha! That is a must have truck, for sure. TW bail bond thread coming next...

 

On the list...
