TRD supercharger

Yea thats on my list as well. Mostly cosmetic IMO but I like the way it cleans up the engine bay as well

 

I just looked at the two clutches you recommend....I keep seeing/reading that the throw out bearing should be upgraded....the urd clutch gives you the opportunity to buy/upgrade it at a cheaper price if you buy it with a urd clutch....looking at the SPEC clutch it doesn't say anything about upgrading the throw out bearing.....I've never worked on a clutch so it's gonna be new to me. Should the throw out bearing be upgraded regardless of what clutch you put in???

 

Yes. Upgrade the throw out bearing regardless of what clutch. It is a known weak point Toyota just wont fix.

 

I agree I don't think it helps direct air I smiply wanted it for he fact that it cleans up that gap very nicely.

Also that's not a logo on there I sticker slapped it with a sticker her sends with

 

I'm curious if Bulletproof will make one without the opening for the hood latch. Hmm...

 

How will your hood ratchet then

 

I think Tor has fiberglass with hood pins or some such. Positive on the glass, but not about how he secures it.

 

Ahhh that makes sense then

 

That is the easy part. How will I support the hood though, since the prop will be covered? Hmmmm. (Hood stuts aren't supposed to be used with fiber glass hoods.)

Aerocatch = Win

 

I thought you had an AFR gauge? Do you not?

 

Might be time to install them and see what is going on....soot is definitely rich.

 

Since the fuel gauge is installed, might as well hook it up temporarily at least. To see where it is. It might be fine. Could just be that the reflash is really rich.

 

Most likely, but doesn't rule anything out. When Torspd was running turbo with the stock ecu he was 'rollin coal' as it was super rich (maxed out the scale on the aem gauge) However I would request a day vid or have a buddy drive behind you to determine the color and thickness of the smoke to help in diagnosing the issue. However is the driveability? How are the fluid levels?

 

I've always modulated the throttle while watching the afr when I rlly need to move out. Well, maybe it took a couple weeks to train myself to do that instead of mashing the gas.

 

Well, he's got me on ignore anyways, but Christian if you ever got around to installing your URD 2.85 pulley instead of whining about it, it does help bring your AFR up. Mine never dips down below 10.5 these days, at full WOT it usually does a quick dip to the mid 10s and then sits around 11-11.5. But I guess you can't check your AFR anyways...

 

What are you getting for mpg with the 2.85?

 

Shitty, since I'm on the throttle so much. Look, guys, your MPG isn't hurt by the supercharger, its hurt by putting your foot to the floor.

 

^^^ Plain and simple. With great power comes great responsibility. Or so I was told.

 

@Torspd IIRC Someone checked and found their is slim to no parasitic drag off the SC, so you would get normal power and MPG numbers as long as you stayed in a vacuum and out of boost.

Shit I got on it yesterday and watched my gas gauge drop from like 1/3 to just about 1/4 tank! But that was pulling hard from a dead stop and then pegging out on a straght away
