General Supercharger Thread

I’m jumping in late here… I had NAT Speed Wilmington tune my truck. They ended up needing to put a fuel pump in after fail on the dyno. Not happy with workmanship.. I’m running duel demon pumps and put them back in at my dealership. I got their plan for my desired outcome.. so I’m building it ahead and having them tune it. I’m just so fortunate to work at/with a Toyota dealership that has people that understand performance. They put my new ipt trans in last week and will do the rest in another couple weeks and I’ll be getting it tuned to 700+ rwhp in nov.

 

I looked for it and it’s no longer available.
That was what I was hoping to do.

 

Matt and Dan absolutely rule. I'm sure Viktor does as well but haven't dealt with him. Dealt with Matt and Dan a LOT.


EDIT: Matt was the ONE person that was able to diagnose my blown cats when no one else could figure out what was going on. Mine seemed to be possibly blown before even the supercharger/tuning. It was immediately noticed on one of the first street runs needed for tuning.

 

That conflicts with what they told me about 2 weeks ago. Said I could go to the 77.5mm pulley safely if, and only if, I wasn't upgrading intake or exhaust since the combo of those would put me over the "safe" power limits of a stock engine.

 

77.5 wasn't a thing, only the 75mm was at the time. Nothing was ever mentioned about "safe power levels" to me regarding it. They kept pin pointing needing better flowing exhaust.

 

Good to know. Thanks for sharing this info.

 

Anyone had weird MAF readings at cruise? Last week I started seeing at a steady cruise controlled speed (70-80) the gauge would go from the 14 or so it has been married to down to high 8's mid 9's.

I sent Sniv logs, he suggested it was weird & to post here.

Outside horrific MPGs (which had never been above 15 freeway & 13 city, now I am getting 10/13 when I behave.

At the same time (almost) I went from stock 20's to 295/70/18s as an aside

The truck runs like it is on fire, no complaints there & if it's just the price of mods so be it.

Also, no smells, truck is garaged (Sniv said maybe blasted cats which I would think would cause a stink)

Thanks

 

Finally able to see my boost. Woo. Pulley on too.

 

So....I won an auction today for a 2005 GX 470 w/150k miles on it for $5800 (7300 after fees and taxes).

Tundra is at the dealership today, hopefully gets the starting issue sorted and then sold.

After it does, looking at throwing a Harrop on the GX. Just gotta do some research on compatibilites

Congratulations!


Do you figure the panel needs to go or it can be pulled?

 

wont really know until i get my hands on it. But I'm going the cheap repair route on this one, unlike my salvage JK build.

 

You are daring. . wish you the best for the Tundra and now the Lexus.
The Lexus is wrecked or has that been fixed?

 

Thanks
Lexus was from a salvage auction, so it has that damage. But I since it's just corner bumper/liftgate stuff, I can basically do no repairs and get the title swapped to Rebuilt from Salvage. The cheapest 2005 GX470 in the country atm is $9k with 250k+ miles.
Also I got a new job starting in Nov, with JPMorgan as Data Center Engineer!

 

^^^^ Good On Ya!!!! Prices are up all over the place!!! On everything!!!

 

Don't like to double post but just letting everyone know National Speed has Bricked my ecu

 

Fuckers better grovel the next time you walk in the door....

 

That is unacceptable!

 

Unbelievable

 

WTF??? & what are they doing about it?

Just wow.

 

They said they are having one overnighted but they are using a 3rd party to program it,that way if anything happens later they can get the blame....

 

Just got a call from the dealership about the Tundra. They are saying it's the Fuel Pump codes coming up for them and it needs replacing. So word of warning, if you revert from S/C back to stock, don't leave the 450 LPH fuel pump in there...

 

Crazy

Tow home & drop the tank or pay the dealer?

 

Funny you would say that his comment to me was they have spent a lot of money trying to make it right

 

Anyone have input?

 

I know. I asked if they could just move the truck to the parking lot and let me do it lol. Looks about $375 for the fuel pump/basket from Toyota. He said 6 hrs for labor at $179. So roughly $1500 total. But he also said my truck qualifies for a new Rack and Pinion under a recall.

 

Thieves! I can do it in 46 minutes on jackstands.

Lol

 

How about not breaking it in the first place????

 

Are they trying to lay a guilt trip on you?

 

Any air leaks after maf? How are the fuel trims? They could show a leak. If air leak could be trying to compensate for added air. I had rich readings and I had to replace my Afr gauge sensor. Try spraying maf cleaner on your o2 sensors. Hmmm

 

I got a basket with 325lph pump. I could send your way.
