General Supercharger Thread

Yep I’ll probably move to this. We used to run this all the time.

 

4700+ miles on my last trip to MI.....
changed the oil when I got home and now for some street time.
I can't verify the engine is quieter but it seems like it..

 

Been reading some on using 10w. With heat and shear can act like a 5w. Oil type is a slippery slope...

 

That's why I don't recommend stuff like that to anyone. To each his/her own. Or see your owners manual.

 

Exactly! Posting what we use or do should be researched before one trys it out.

 

I was going to use Canadian bacon grease but did research & went with Mobil 1.

 

Ha. Just like some using DEX3 instead of WS. Someone does it and says they ruined their transmission based on a post.
Experimenting with the Lexus 8arfts coils and other mods were a test to find out, at our own risk, if any benefits were there. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't...

 

Only one way to find out

 

Lol, oh my that's tempting. That's how much I sold it for, I wonder why he's selling it.

 

I dreamed of this being my replacement after seeing the ad!

 

I asked the seller and he said he has to go to his country, can’t take her.

But who knows what the real reason is.

 

Tell him you'll buy it back, less taxes since you've already paid those once.

 

I sent him message, we shall see.

 

I made him an offer, but he said no. I told him go luck with the sale.

 

That sucks. Fingers crossed he comes back to the table. Otherwise, oh well. Your new rig is pretty darn sweet.

 

Let us know when you are ready to give it another offer.

We can have the hive shoot him a ton of stupid low ball offers for a bit and then you can swing in and swoop it up!

(i definitely haven't done this in the past)

 

Wish me luck! Fellas!

 

Take your time, double check everything and you will be fine.

 

I'm bowing in your general direction and casting mega-good ju-ju.

 

You got this!

 

The coolest puzzle you've ever completed! You got this! Ensure your hose connections are all tight and take breaks!

 

Easy peasy!

 

Dig in!

 

About 2hrs in.

Those clips on the back of the manifold were a bitch. All 275lbs of me were laying on top of the engine to try to get my dirty dick-beaters back there. Pry bar got em off

 

Catch can it now and possibly replace the PCV valve while it's easy!

 

I don't reinstall those, they're next to useless anyway and make it an absolute bitch as you found out to remove the blower in the future.

 

Fuck these oil cooler hard lines. What a bitch.

 

I'm going to swing by Toyota and grab a pcv during a lunch break.

What's the verdict on reusing the plenum gaskets?

 

For the price, I bought new ones. I also bought the water pipe gaskets also.

 

I think the instructions say to reuse them; mine were reused and were fine. However, doing it myself, I would opt to replace them 'while I'm in there'. I also did the water pump because it had 200k miles on it but certainly not necessary. I had just replaced the serpentine belt idler and tensioners as well else they would be on the list.

How much more of your money would you like us to spend?
