Taken off Concelli's site. Est price is around $4000, of course if you have connections with the dealer, you can get it much cheaper than that! This will work only on the Tundra/Sequoia V8 1UZ engines. From what I see so far, it is CA legal too!

Excellent... good to see they got it worked out. Last I knew there were concerns about how the Tundra would hold up to the extra power (I want to say the concern was with the tranny, but I don't remember for sure).

Mohamed

It was with the rear end actually. They say (and there is so much rumor about this) the rear differential was having a hard time handling the added torque with the supercharger, especially us guys with a limited slip differential.

jacksonpt

Ahh, thanks. I'm assuming that since they released the S/C, TRD engineers are pretty confident that the diff will hold up?

BTOWN4RUNNER

Damn, that has some bad a$$ horsepower. That would be sweet to do! I can't even imagine the gains you would get by doing this! Real nice, real expensive, but well worth the investment! :fireman:

• Provides fuel map and spark timing tables fine-tuned by TRD engineers to offer peak engine
performance.

So, does this mean there is a plug in or a replacement for the ECU? All that data is kept internally on the computer so i'm assuming it either comes with some kind of plug-in chip or the computer must have some kind of EPROM that can be flashed or something. I guess that rules out an 'at-home' install if it has to be flashed.

I'm a computer geek, this is the first thing that sounded 'off'.

Many people believe that Toyota will put the V-8 in the 4th gen 4R coming out in 2003. 4R + V-8 + TRD Supercharger...WOW!

Mohamed

I really don't know, sorry J. I am not really planning to install the S/C, I like my Tundra the way it is. It isn't meant to be a sports car. That's why I am thinking about a sports sedan in the near future. Still got my eye on the BMWers. My Tundra is plenty powerful for me and my towing needs, though.

Ron(Fla)

I was in to have my roof rack replaced and talked to the NC salesman I deal with. He said that the only thing he knew was that the body was going to change and it would have the V8.

He also said that the port would have the info in Aug and he had a contact that was going to give him a pix if I was interested and wanted a copy.

Does anybody know what this "TRD Engine Management System" is? Is it a plug in chip or something?:confused:

Just for kicks ... Has anyone ever tried to stuff one of these 4.7 V8's in a late model 3rd gen before?

Could it even be done? A 4.7 V8 with a TRD S/C stuffed into a 4Runner ... LOL ... the power would be crazy.

Mohamed

I took a look at the engine bay of a 3rd Gen runner and the V8 block, it's a serious cramp fit, but I guess anything is possible, the bay though would have to be banged the hell out of to make room for the block. But I look at other componets and wonder how they would fit like the steering components and such. I commend anyone that makes it fit.

Gene

I thought I heard my local dealership saying that the 4Runner is getting a brand new 4.0 V8 - not the same engine as the Sequia and Tundra. Anyone else hear this?

When I spoke with Matt, it's a V6 specked out to 4.0.
Basicaly a 3.4 bored 30 over.
It's suppose to be available in the Taco later, but not right away for the 2003s.

Not sure, but I don't see why that same one would not be available in the '03 Runner later.
Probably will be.

From motortrend---->> http://motortrend.com/future/index.html

2003 Toyota 4Runner: The all-new 4Runner shares its platform with the Lexus GX 470, growing significantly in size and offering more content. Expect a 240-hp V-6 to be standard, with a 235-hp V-8 optional.

Mohamed

That doesn't make sense, how is a V8 going to have less hp than a V6? Well obviously the choice would be a V6, less gas and more power.

I gotta admit those Toyota 3.4 V6, especially on Taco's are very torquey and if not powerful, especially when you free the exhaust on those things like my friend did. I can also tell you a stock Taco will woop my Tundra.

taco04

I think it would be close..I had a 99 tacoma and a 2000 tundra v8 and i sure miss the power of that v8. I love my 4runner but my tundra would definitely leave it and my old tacoma with a 3.4 in the dust..

Ron(Fla)

Sounds like the stock V6 will be standard with a SC'r available for the optional V8.

Beowulf

Is it really expensive to have an engine bored? Would you need all new components as well? What types of things would you have to change? Would you have to upgrade the rear end as well to compensate for the new power?

Here's a question, if you did have your 3.4 engine bored 30 over, would the TRD/Eaton Supercharger still work on it or is it designed only for 3.4L specs.?

Thanks
