Supercharger on Tundra - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

base341 · 09-05-2004, 09:58 AM

I'm new to this forum and did a search but could't find what I'm looking for.
I've got an '02 Tundra and am thinking about adding a trd supercharger. I'd like to get feedback from people who've added this after owning one for a while.
How much power does it really add?
I'm doing this because I need more power to tow with. Will it add more low end torque as well?
Every tech I talk to seems to give me a different story.
Thanks in advance
Tom

Anyone?

Which engine do you have? If it's the V8, look at this.

I've got the 4.7 v8.
From the looks of that it dosen't do much.

well the factory 4.7l comes with 245hp i believe and with the supercharger its goes to like 335hp. seems like that would make an impressionable difference to me. ive put the s/c on the v6 tacoma and there was a very large increase, i would say that the s/c for the 4.7l should yield the same results. i dont know however about the fuel system and whether it can supply the supercharged engine with what it needs. anyone know of an s/c 4.7l leaning out?

The 2UZ-FE S/C has been put on "hold" by TRD. I have driven all the Toyota Trucks with Superchargers on them. (I own the 4 Cylinder 3-RZ Tacoma S/C).

The I-Force runs pretty well with the Supercharger. It comes complete with an electronic interface that wires into the ECU. This controls and adapts many things, most noticably: the transmission. It changes the shift points, and actually shifts smoother at WOT than stock.

You can still find superchargers even after they have been discontinued/put on "hold". The best advice I can offer you if you are going to S/C your truck, is to install the TRD headers and exhaust. It will probably operate well with the cold air intake in conjunction. (Although the 2.4, 2.7, and 3.4 S/C's throw a lean code when combined with the intake.)

This blower (4.7) is probably the coolest out of the Toyota Trucks (it sorta sounds like a spaceship or something when it is winding up)

Nice truck, Thanks for the info. I just talked to the dealer the other day and they said the same thing about the S/C being on hold. Hopefully that will change sometime soon. For now I'm going to add the stainless trd exhaust.
