General Supercharger Thread.

That doesn't sound obnoxious at all. Sounds good in the cabin.

 

Well the transmission has only about 2k miles on it haha. I do plan on putting the IPT valve body in it though.

 

You will not stop smiling. I've owned quite a few fast and cool vehicles but for some reason this Tundra is just my favorite ever. Being able to travel anywhere with my whole family in the truck and still be fast is just fun. Clearly you can build a waaayyy faster truck for the same price but nobody ever expects a tundra to be quick so its fun to see peoples faces when you blow by them.

 

This is the best part.

 

I can't get dragy to work but when I put the hammer down I'm going 80 waaay too soon.

lol

 

For some reason lately it takes a while for the dragy to aquire satellite’s. I turn mine on and drive around for about 10 min before i try and do a pull with it. Make sure its showing a speed while cruising around to verify it has good gps signal then come to a stop, hit reset, and let her rip!

 

I noticed that and put the magnet in the sunroof panel that covers it so it's just under the glass. It's practicallly on the roof.

Lol

 

I duct tape mine to the dash lol

 

Mine sticks right to the Rago dash plate on the center of the dashboard, but the AZ heat took a toll on the Dragy and warped the plastic a bit during last summers heat. Lesson learned, I can't leave it there all the time. Now it resides in the center console tray when not in use.

 

Yea I leave it in the center console normally, the duct tape was a good lazy option to mount it

 

I am sure it was fine but I was not thrilled with the gap so did this.

 

106k miles, looking good still.

 

Why did you open it up?

 

Leaky valve cover gasket. Had the noticable smoke coming from rear of engine, and obvious leak in same area when I finally checked it out. Replacing all the gaskets and pcv bits. Also the spark plugs were toast

 

So it looks like the leak was actually coming from this sensor in the back, but sob it's hard to get to. Any tips @e30cabrio ?

 

I am awarding 1250 internet credits to this post

a fine summation of the awesomeness of a blown tundra

I would have a hard time trying to find a replacement to this noble steed

 

What sensor is it? I'd bet there is a specialized tool to access it.

 

Pops is working on the rig. Fun fact the Prospeed TB adaptor doesn’t fit the whipple. The whipple adapter is very nice has a bell end for smooth flow transition into the blower.

Guess @snivilous we will need some plates made haha. Rcf tb vs stock pic added. So we have a new tb Prospeed adapter for sale if anyone’s needing one lol

 

Race truck problems!

 

Well hopefully we can figure out the LS 102mm tb. Would much rather do that

 

I got it off finally after a few videos. Just need to replace the o ring in it. It's the exhaust camshaft sensor

 

@reywcms How far off is the bolt pattern? Or is it just rotated?

 

Bolt pattern not sure but the plate itself is wayy too small. The outside of the Prospeed plate fits inside of the whipple 102 inlet basically lol

 

Dremel!

 

Lol the issue is the prospeed is too small. The inlet for the whipple is larger than the whole plate lol

 

This is what I installed. There are different versions. It is definitely more tame, if you want to look into it.

Old man got the maggy box in. He’s gotta do a little tweaking and order other clamps but works for now.

 

Still have not pulled the trigger on a Supercharger, hows the Whipple working out?

 

He likes it much better than the maggy. I’ll have mine here soon and give more feedback between the two as well.

He noticed a much better mid range on the whipple on top of the other efficiencies over the roots.

 

If you need pictures or suggestions let me know. I was just about to post a more detailed post of the build, I'll do that here shortly.
