General Supercharger Thread

No Lexus & LC 5.7 up to 15.

 

Hello I've tried scouring through as much data as possible before asking another redundant question thats been answered to death...

So I've got my 2016 Lexus LX 570 that is now supercharged using Harrop's S/C and was modified exactly as per Harrop's instructions. I've tried researching to death ANY tuner that is compatible with my year truck and the only 2 options are: VFTuner and D3Performance. With VFTuner I was required to ship my ecu out to their HQ to have them "unlock" my ecu so that it can be flashed over with their tuner. D3Performance offered a custom canned tune but again I would be required to send them my ecu too. I went with VFTuner since I found a reputable tuner in my area that will take on this task but there are 3 problems.

-First, my ecu was supposed to be shipped out 2 weeks ago but the rep I've been speaking to has gone AWOL and now I don't know if i'm SOL or what...
-Second, my tuner and I decided that while i'm getting tuned I might as well go stage-2 so I bought the Griptec 80mm pulley but I'm stuck on which injectors to go with. Deatchwerks 650cc, five-O 650cc, or Prospeed 750cc?
-Third, if for some reason my ecu has houdini'd itself and I am just SOL, I have heard that the TRD green s/c injectors are just plug and play? Couldn't find anything more than just rumors but would it be possible to keep my setup using the 85mm pulley and throw in those green injectors and be safe to run?

 

Stay away from the prospeed 750s the harness clips etc are not great and can be problematic.

 

Guess you guys can see why I asked about HPT & Lexus nau?

Lol

 

Have you tried posting on the HPT forum and see if anyone there has info on status of HPT availability?

 

Nope, the question was for eZKimChi

 

@mZiggy

 

Yup, chilly.

 

I addressed most of that in my email. But to the last point, the TRD greens are physically plug and play but you still need a tune for them. The injector settings are different than a stock tune, albeit Toyota offered (on Tundras) tunes for the TRD greens. Those tunes are specific to only certain Tundras though. Long story short, you may as well go with larger injectors since the difficulty of tuning for the TRDs is the same as any other injector.

 

Ill happily sell the maggy green injectors haha

 

I have mine too I'm down to the greens and the stock tans, after I sent Wyndded a third set I had laying around lol

 

And I turned my heat on yesterday...

 

I have the greens & stock, free to anyone wanting them.

 

@snivoulous Should be getting the 750's soon and fab up larger intake for TRD box. Got the rcf and adapter today. Debating to bore it or not. Will also grab a 2.2 hub assembly soon.
Man, should have used the search function for intake mods..saw it was discussed way back near page 165 or so. Going to copy Firmandans setup.

 

This thread is an absolute wealth of information, finding it is the challenge

 

Google is your friend, I've had to use it a ton for smarter searches in here.

 

haven't been keeping up here lately. Just wanted to add that Magnuson finally released the TVS1320 for the 1st gen Taco's, 4Runners, and Tundras. Tempted to get back into a 4runner if I can find a limited 2002 in good condition.

man...I loved my '96 4Runner. I would have certainly bolted that on.

 

Who says summer is over???

 

Egad!

 

Looks like a cold front is coming into AZ from the north, but is facing stiff resistance.

 

Lol

 

I'm afraid to know what kind of precipitation comes out of those afternoon t-storms.

 

Lol ahhahaha

 

It’s hard to say, but I believe those are cumulus clouds so you do the math.

 

99.99999999999% nada, Or.....

North Mexico is about to get a giant load of rain.

 

Boost season!!!!

 

Lesson for today (or last weekend), If you have a Canbus wideband and are going out for a datalog run, PLUG IN THE WIDEBAND before you go. I went out last weekend, did a few runs, logged it all, got home and found my log defaulted to one of the stock O2 sensors. YEAH, 12's at WOT in the log with 9.5-9.8 indicated. Going to try it again tonight after I fly home from Austin. Unless anything is overly wrong, I'm probably going to hold off on reflashing any changes for a week as we're driving from OR to TX starting Saturday. The couple folks that have bricked their ECU's have me a bit hesitant.
