You beat me to it :cursin:

:lol:

 

Just read that over at CT.... should be interesting.

 

AWESOME thanks for the info.

I assume you get to keep your warranty IF you have it installed at the dealer? Does anyone know how the warranty thing worked w/the older tacomas and installing supercharges? I'd like to install it myself and retain warranty if possible...

 

By the time this thing comes out, My 36k mile warranty will be almost over anyway. But If you have the extended 100k mile warranty, then I would certainly let the dealership install it.

 

My 36K mile warranty expired the other day, but I went to the dealer at 35,995 miles and had them take a list of all the problems I got. There's going to be a Toyota Rep coming to the dealer on the 18th to look it over and authorized the repairs.


Oh and the supercharger is covered under the 60K mile powertrain warranty.

 

If I can get to over 300 hp for less than $3000 I'd say, SIGN ME UP!!

 

Man I hope this is for real and not some April Fools Joke...and comes out soon!

 

Now I just need to unload the one sitting in my dining room and hope this one is for real....

I’m not buying it. Picture was too crappy, even for a camera phone. TRD link was no good, how convenient. And I also think that power rating sounded low for this motor and proposed boost.
That being said, I'm calling :bullshit2

Well, it is April 1st...

yeah your not putting that much boost on a 10:1 with stock internals. I call BS too. :disappoin

 

true... with 9lbs of boost I was throwing down 373 WHP on a 3.2L V6.. I call BS as well with that displacment.

 

Yeah...the "damned blurry camera phone pic" gives it away...as well as the phantom link...

wnedsmas April fools

 

It sounds reasonable especially if they tried it before and blew up a motor already. But I'll believe it when I see it on the market otherwise it's all hear say for now.

 

Yea I call shens...that is NOT our 1GR-FE motor in that pic. 1st there is no Long Oil Filler neck in that pic and it would easily be visible even in a crappy pic like that. 2nd I don't see the upsidedown mounted Oil Filter and Oil Catch. I call shenanagans on this pic hardcore...

 

hmmm.... pay 3k for a blower, pay for 91 octain, get shittier miledge, put more wear on the drivetrain, worry about buying more parts to make the thing work better (fuel upgrades, ect). all to get a whopping 60hp at 13lbs of boost??!

uhhh... no thanks, ill keep it stock.

 

I never even thought of April Fools...I didnt think anyone even did any of that stuff anymore.
Oh well I was wondering why 12-13psi that was WAY high

Yeah most OEM type apps use like 6psi

What he said------------no thanks oh....and April Fools

 

what fun is that to keep something stock.

A lot more fun than tearing down and rebuilding an engine because you blew it up. :lol:

 

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...mine hasnt seem to blow up yet and its not stock..if you get a TRD blower if you blow it up it will be covered under warranty still since you have the TRD charger and not some other aftermarket.

its only under waranty if you have a dealer install it. and what the dealer is charging for labor nowadays, plan on shelling out some big bucks for that on top of your 3k bill for the SC. the blower (if it ever comes out) will more than likely be using a 6lb pulley, and with a roots type blower, you arent going to get too much power out of it. if you mod anything else to get more power (smaller pulley, fuel mods, ect) you void the waranty, and even if you get through the waranty period unscathed, the blower WILL put more stress on everything. rings, pistons, rods, bearings, trans ect. so rebuilds will come more frequent than a engine without a blower. no brainer there.

besides, making a truck fast is like trying to make a 4cyl car fast... you can do it, but there are a ton of other vehicles that will go faster for less $$$.

i agree, it is kinda high for an engine with a 10:1 compression.

is this some fvckin april fool bullshit? because if it is , that shit really ain't that funny.

 

Yep it was an April fools joke
