I know there is alot about trd superchargers here but none really answer the question "What is the bear minimum to run a 2nd Gen tacoma S/C without ruining your engine." It know the fuel supply runs to lean. I've got a 1999 tacoma standard with the 3.4L and bought a used S/C (black). I don't want to spend to much more, what is needed to just bolt it on and go with out busting big bucks on a 7th or URD fuel kit? can i just get IK22 plugs and like a albro 190 LPH fuel pump or something simple? What would you recomend is the cheapest, yet still reliable route?
Your help would be greatly appriciated,
Jeff

You can run it stock, i was in a 01' with blower, intake and exhaust this weekend (thats all) and it went like stink... but you get more power with a tune.

I think a 150 lb black bear is the bare minimum.

yes you can run it w/o mods but the reason they came up with the piggy back 7th injector and walbro 190 larger injectors is because people who ran them hard had issues. The bottom line to me is larger injectors, fuel pump and a basic piggy back to modify the amount of fuel. I debate what I feel is minimum for myself and don't plan to run the snot out of it and still come up with that list plus an a/f meter. I am in the process of parts gathering myself piggy back and s/c are all thats left and piggyback is soon . If you go easy you can piece by piece the additions but what fun is going easy?

I've been running IK22 Denso plugs, redline water wetter, and a 160 degree thermostat for a while with no ill effects. a tranny cooler is also highly reccomended if you have an automatic.

Dude go to URD.com they have a kit with 318cc injectors, new fuel pump, management system. Also if you have an automatic tranny you will need the trans upgrade provided by LevelTen.com. If you do not have this mod you will eventually ruin your tranny. URD also has a 2.2 pulley that will increase PSI but you have an even better chance of detonating your engine. Moral of the story is that, putting a supercharger on a stock engine is a bad idea.The use of a supercharger is to cram more air in to every cylinder shot, so how are you going all that air out. Answer headers/exhaust. You are looking a probably $2500 worth of parts, but if you really love your truck I would not I repeat not install just the supercharger alone. Some people might say that all those parts are excess but I will assure the reliability of your truck will diminish more rapidly.

P.S. You might want to get your comprssion cheacked just in case.
