General Supercharger Thread

Yeah, I’ve realized there is no point in trying to make it crazy fast as it will never be. I mainly just want to hang with the more modern performance trucks being offered from factory at this point. The best perk for me is the towing improvement. The stock pulley should have you around that 450whp range +/- 25 once tuned. Smaller pulleys with the necessary fuel mods and minor intake/exhaust mods should get you in the 530whp +/- 25 range I would say based on what we have seen around here depending on the truck and dyno.

 

You wont have to revert back. I jad the mag tune and overland tailor did my tune and I flash right on top of it.

 

Not sure what im at but no mods done other than boost ref my fuel rail and snivs 76mm and OTT tune

 

Where's the trophy from the race?????

 

My 1900 has probably 40k miles on it, and doesn't look like it was from an archaeological dig site. Plus Sniv's pulleys!

 

Thats filthy. Must of been rallying with the hood off for extra cooling. At least you get a throttle body to gut for @snivilous 94mm conversion. Haha

 

So just a heads up on the stock ECM calibration question I asked a while back. HP Tuners did update to Toyotas latest ECM calibration file before writing the tune to the ECM. Just for future reference if the question comes sup again.

 

I wish I was that fast, but I did finish which is a first, even if it was only 140 miles I'll take that as a victory

The supercharged 6.7 ran like an animal too without issue, which I'm proud about since I built it myself and this was the first race on it!

 

Holy FU@K. This SC is no joke. My Magnuson MP112 was a baby next to the 1900. Now I need rear posi, this one wheel wonder is a joke. Thanks @snivilous for the tuning.

 

Has anyone had an issue with a MAP sensor?

The one in the BMW first went to a max of 2.7 from 7.2, I replaced the hose (that was not leaking), now I'm getting 4x the amount needed to grenade the motor, it's running great & is no more powerful than when it was hitting under 8.

 

German problems

 

Normally I'd agree it is a BMW thing but I'm pretty sure this is 100% Innovate. lol

 

Innovate has the Map Sensor for the PSB-1 listed as a max boost of 43.5 psi. 43.8? You sir, took that gauge to 11...

My guess is it's a wiring short somewhere. Turn off the car, unplug the gauge and sensors, plug it all back in and see if there's a change?

 

The AFR portion is reading "properly" It is getting power from a fuse that is ignition on & grounded to the body. When I had the bad O2 sensor I read it could be a ground issue so moved it to the body.

 

What does it read with the engine off?

 

0.0

Like my ethanol in the Tree!

 

That's awesome you got control of that problem.

 

The Tree? yup, it seems "done" Hopefully I can get better than 13mpg too.

 

Haha and the 1900 is a baby to the 2650

 

The tvs1900 delivers low end torque quicker than the big brother...so I'm told. Maybe I need to head south and see who @reywcms hangs with. Haha

 

No torque over here especially with the dual 3” lol

 

Hit my in box a few days ago; Radium has a surge tank pump; you can size out the fuel cell based on needs/space:

Anyone regret supercharging their truck?
If you had it to do all over again, what would you do differently?

 

Have a built forged engine and transmission.
Or built that 59' f100 4wd...

 

this.

see, while you think 500whp is going to be enough...it won't be.

 

If the most truck I ever needed was a half ton then no, no regrets. Realizing now that I should probably have a 3/4 ton for towing I may have done things differently and got a bigger truck and then a used quick car for fun and tinkering. For right now the tundra is filling both roles ok I guess. It will definitely pull my trailer with more power than a gas 3/4, it’s more just the payload concerns.

 

I've had diesels before, don't have a need for them 90% of the time. Very happy with the choices you guy helped me make....like nobodyintexas I'm old and slow,still need to put on the 77.5 pulley

 

I would’ve skipped the maggy 1.9 and went straight to the Whipple I have now. And of course a built motor etc

 

This is my 2nd time down the SC road. First time, I was always chasing those few extra HP/TQ numbers. Adding headers, cat-back, 2nd inter-cooler, pulley, etc. It was a money pit. This time around I did the Maggie 1900 and that will pretty much be it. Maybe the AEM intake when it comes out, but nothing else. And the reason I even did a 1900 was the price. I picked up a brand new one for $5300, couldn't pass that deal up. I learned that speed cost money and it cost even more when you are trying to push a 6,000lb brick down the road. Like others have said, when you start to add them you start to also add problems which cost lots of money. If it where a dedicated hobby truck, then ok, but for a DD, to much money for me to throw at it. But damn if it doesn't put a smile on your face when you mesh the throttle.
