TRD supercharger

Thinking hard about it.

 

Do it.....do it

 

I just looked it up and it sounds really good! Too bad my DTs headers aren't equal length and I've read the U-Spec headers don't fit trucks with the coil bucket gusset. I'll see what I can do to try and match the y-pipe lengths a bit.

 

People have had them fit. I don't remember all of what the circumstances were. Some had said that the DTF or Bonzen engine mounts help prevent them from hitting.

 

I made my own solid mounts, so that may help. Anyone want to trade DT long tubes for URD U-Specs with cash on top on my side?

 

Try to make your y-pipe arms equal length from the collector.

 

Has anyone out there found oil in the inter-cooler of their TRD supercharger? This is what I found while removing my supercharger for maintenance. The vehicle was running fine and has never smoked. I could tell that oil had been leaking out from under the inter-cooler cover and was getting past the intake gasket. Is there a PCV valve somewhere on these when they have a supercharger?

 

Supercharged trucks still use the stock pcv location. 99% sure thats where that oil is coming from. Time to invest in a catch can!

Catch can helps, I still get oil in the intercooler.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to look into adding one.

 

Even with the catch can? How much? I was considering putting one on but if oil is still going to get in it kind of defeats the purpose

 

Different catch cans will having differening levels of success. (Baffled, chambered, neither.) As well as hose size in and out of it.

 

Tough to say how much. My catch can is the add one design and it catches a fair amount. There is always a thin layer of oil inside the intercooler. I notice I get oil out from the passenger side hose that connects just before the throttle body.

 

Interesting. I’ve read on here or xr underground that it’s best not to connect the passenger side hose to any catch cans. I suppose no matter how good the driverside can is, oil is going to get through. I think I will still get one just to help eliminate some of it.

 

Passenger side hose should be left alone, unless you have a turbo.

 

Rotor pack sounds like it’s got mashed up packing peanuts in it, like a flutter. This is with no oil in the nose cone makes the noise when the pulley is turned. Any ideas? The rotor pack does have some coating coming off, but not that loose!

 

Coupler or the bearings.......or both.....

 

Steigmeier or other place for a rebuild. Unless you can do it yourself.

 

New coupler, so the bearings in the rear of the Supercharger?

 

I’ll attempt it myself for sure.
