General Supercharger Thread

Buahahaha, that's not slow at all!

 

New harness comes today.

won't be able to put it on till Monday.

Daughter is coming in from College & wants to take the boat out.

so much for MY priorities...

 

Do you have photos of this beautiful creation?

The guys in Middle East are pushing the limits.

Wait until they sent pic of covid strip test saying "sorry can't come home this weekend",and I thought she was pregnant, the mix emotions was more than I could take.

 

Ok supercharger gang so kicking the idea of wiring the intercooler pump to the switch pro. Then adding a 5 min post shutoff runtime. Think this will be helpful after long trail days or in general

 

No.

 

+1

 

Ok good talk lol now back to our regularly scheduled program. We did this back in the cobra and lightning days in between runs. Curious on the why not.

 

"It's not a turbo!" <in Arnold voice>

 

Would make sense In between passes at the drag strip but not beneficial otherwise.

 

Maybe if you had an electric fan that would also blow air across the intercooler during the cycle. Otherwise it’s just pumping hot coolant around without any airflow to facilitate any heat exchange.

 

Between runs there may be a benefit I suppose (trial and error would prove/disprove this), but in about any other scenario, what would you be trying to accomplish?

 

since my coolant pump is now working consistently - thx @Saltyhero13, @Silver17 , et al, - i will comment on intercoolage

@ 60mph on cruise i have a +22-25 degree rise in IAT*. was damn consistent right up until - you know when.

you Maggy folks are probably a tad higher than +22 due to the smaller SINGLE intercooler brick.

so...unless you are moving a sh1t ton of air over the coolant radiator, you won't accomplish diddly-skwat.




putting on my new harness in the morning.....will revert with details.



* if your intercooler pump is not on, your IAT will be about 160 degrees.

 

There we go I agree. I’ll just wire it into the switch pro to get rid of the relay and clean up some wiring I have in the area.

 

Video from the track, my truck and an A90 Supra. Don’t mind the gap between the supra and the truck too much, as according to the time slip he left an entire .7 seconds before I did (reaction time of .021 vs .713 seconds). He ran a 12.8@116, I did a 13.7@98.6. My best of 3 runs for the night was a 13.6@99.6. The whole experience now makes me want something like a Tacoma X-Runner to take to the track. The tundra is fun and surprises everyone, but it’s too important for other things I use it for to run it at the track often. I was warned by @Downytide and @ZPhilip that addiction may set in…

Badass!

 

Medy is good to go. 1500hp....

Just a small turbo on there lol

 

Definitely need to keep the kids away from that thing

 

New harness solved your problems I take it?

 

I cleaned up some wiring since the switch pro arrived. Wired the intercooler pump to it so far so good.

 

It's on..and I test drove it around the park.

no codes.

it's still running emission checks. see below

I'll take it for a longer test drive drive around lunch.

 

old one



new one

 

That SG3 is slick. Anyone want to buy my SG2?

 

No codes is good. Not liking the emission codes not clearing quickly. After putting in the new intake I had to unplug my battery for 20 mins to get stuff to run correctly and clear my emissions codes.

I followed the TB calibration procedure and the idle procedure. Not sure I did it entirely correctly but everything cleared up quickly and I barely wait for emissions.

For TB: On a push to start you power everything up before ignition and slowly press the accelerator pedal down fully three times. Then power off and fully power on.

For Rough idle: shut off accessories chock the truck and put it in drive after hitting operating temps. Let it run for two mins as the comp recalibrates.

 

X2

 

You'll love it.

 

I'm gonna try that TB procedure. can't hurt.

 

2nd test drive

no CEL's.

it runs as good as it ever did.

Taking it home will be the final test.

I tell you....having been away from the Tundra, the performance is awesome.

the square tired F350 was a slouch. I drove a 6.2 Denali 1500..it was squishy.

the Tundra is nicely snappy.


My emissions codes appear to be clearing slowly....I guess because I cleared a bunch of sh!t in the initial panic.

If I make it home, i'm golden.

I'm having our resident electrician test the harness..will report back.

 

All good

made it home

no codes

emission crap cleared

the bitch is back

got 18mpg on trip home….not bad
