i have a 3.4 tacoma w/o a sc, and am wondering if the supra MAF is someting that would benifit me. From what i have read while searching is that it increases flow, what i want to know is how much it would help, how much it costs, and could i install it myself???

I searched over @ TTORA and found this:
Supra MAF search

I read a few others, and the general consensus is no, it only helps with SC engines. Hope this helps....

Thats the not the answer i was hoping for, but at least now i have an answer, thanks, too bad though i wanted to get something for the truck, but its hard to think of things after having it 4 years that wont cost thousands or i dont already have.

I hear ya...when I first read your post, I thought, "Oh, cool, a new cheap mod!" (well, relatively), so I was pretty disappointed too when I read that it really doesn't do anything.

Heed to the voices in your head... "Save The Pennies" "Save The Pennies" "Save The Pennies"

There's no cheap mod to get you past where you are in terms of HP. But like we've talked about, once you get to S/C land - you'll be able to spend a TON of pennies!

always thinking about what to buy, but what i need to do is s/c

Yeup!

And then we get to talk you into all sorts of toys!

So true. I think Mark and I went down similar paths to try and get more power...although I changed my gearing (4.10 to 4.30). You're going to have to trust us on this one. Save for the SC'r and mods.

(It took me 3 years before I wised up).

Hey HUTCSHTACO, I have my S/C for sale in the classifieds if you want it! Make me an offer :-)

How necisary is the tranny work if i s/c and do urd fuel mods, only have 48k miles

Very necessary.

I drove a Taco running 300CHP (at least) without a VB upgrade and I cringed on the 1 - 2 shift at WOT.

Cut corners now, pay for it later.

HUTCHSTACO

thats what i was worried about

midiwall

Oh, you mean like "Hey Mark, why did you replace your tranny on Sunday???".

My recommnedation all along to folks has been to a) do the fuel mods, b) do the VB upgrade. If you can't afford to do either, then don't put on the supercharger.

I paid for not having done the VB upgrade.


But yes... I will help you swap your tranny when the time comes. I've done it once, and ain't a pro of course, but I'm confident that I could now help someone else out.
