I took today off to tune up my 4Runner.

This Morning:


Just a few little things...Iridium Plugs, a New Belt, a Tensioner, a Guage...and I replaced the intake.


With a SUPERCHARGER I finally put it in

This Afternoon:





I got it used fron NRGETIC99, Thanks man! The install was cake, I was dreading it for no reason. Very simple.

My initial reaction is positive, I notice improved power through the RPM band. Especially around 3500-4000 rpms, I do notice some low rpm, high gear detonation. I am hoping once the ECU learns about the boost it will even out.

I'll keep you posted!

 

Got a write-up on the install with some more pics or did you get it from somewhere I don't know about?

I need to do a tuneup like that!

Looks sweet.....thanks for making me severely jealous by the way!

 

Wow that looks awesome.

I wish my engine bay was that clean.........haha.

My tune up today was cleaning the TB

 

Indeed, very nice, JIM!

 

Jim,

I wonder if you'll need to reverse the ISR mod and put the deckplate back in, if you haven't already, to help with detonation?

 

Glad to hear the install went great! You have any sound clips? I've never heard a TRD supercharger in action :cry:

 

i bet that tuneup gave a power increase

 

It runs great! I was wondering about the ISR and the Deckplate too. But I am at 5,314 ft in Albuquerque so the air is pretty thin.

It's actually running too good, my clutch is slipping pretty bad when I am crusing at about 2k rpms in 3rd or 4th gear and I take it into boost:cry:

So I guess I will be tuning that up as well.

 

Jim,

Glad it worked out for you. It technically took you about 3 months to install :grin:

How do you like the whine ? Trust me, after about a month, you won't hear it but your passengers will !

I now feel a small part of me lives in NM

Enjoy...my V8 is working out very nicely but I cannot wait for decent muffler, an engine that sounds that good HAS to be heard.

So did you notice any power with your tune-up?


Did you S/C come with that sticker on the timing belt cover? Mine is a 2nd gen (bought it in nov 02) and it didn't have that!

 

Way to go , Jim! Glad you were able to get it in. But now its time for a new clutch, huh? Too much skinny pedal...

 

SLC, I got the sticker on Ebay. It came in a set of decals, there are 3 others that are die cut that sayTRD Supercharged, I haven't put them on yet.

 

Now I know why I didn't hear from you this weekend you were out vaporizing the asphalt....

I still have your muffler looks like you need it now.

 

Paul, When do you get off work today?

 

I hope to leave at 5:00 but I'm working on a yield issue so it may be later. I should know around 4:30 or so.

 

Give me a ring when you are heading home. If it works out tonight I can run over.

 

Will do.. I have your cell #.

 

SLC Punk,

Decals

 

I was thinking of picking up some of those stickers from that guy on ebay. How's the quality of them?
