General Supercharger Thread

As I understand it, yes.

 

Thanks to @PolishedTRD for seeing I let google search screw me with the wrong gauge, crisis averted, more $ paid, correct gauge ordered.

 

Does anyone happen to have a how-to resource for replacing the pully shaft bearings in a TVS1900?

 

I can't find the specific time stamp, but this Tacoma rebuild video series goes into detail about replacing the bearings. Should be a similar process. Will need a press.

Thanks, Scott! As far a replacing the snout shaft bearings... looks to be almost opposite of what the SCOL guy mentioned for the tundra TV1900 ... he was saying the shaft/bearings are pressed inwards (towards the s/c housing). Regardless, you're right - some sort of press is going to be needed... hopefully I can find a kind soul local to me with one

 

First drive with the coils, the truck feels amazing, I don't know if the coils are making it better (seems better) but it ain't making it worse, no codes in a 25 mile each way trip to retrieve glasses and an Apple Airtag we left in the Prius we traded in.

This happened:

 

Nice! Need to fill up? Haha. Hard to explain but it does seem better with the coils.

 

Welp, time to start the search of them these coils than!

 

LOL same- the rockauto site seems like good pricing but I'm always leery of the parts lol.

 

What does anyone think of the aftermarket coils than trying to find oem that people want to overprice?

 

OEM or die...in this case...until "others" have vetted the aftermarket versions

 

Mentioned this earlier. Aftermarket coils are always junk in many platforms. OEM FTW

 

All sensors, even "quality" brands have been problematic, on the BMW I tried several Bosch 02 sensors, the damn car kept throwing codes, I had to get the almost 4x more (45 vs 200) sensors from BMW made by Siemens.

The airflow meter, made by Mahle from all sources would not run right, Siemens was OEM in the day, NLA, Had to find a good used one on FB Maretplace.

 

I have had good experience not getting knock offs from RA, don't ask about customer service, it does not exist. You literally cannot speak to a person.

 

It would be beneficial if we had a coil comparison test. I know @Jowett mentioned the 8ARFTS had some info but I couldn't find anything more than the 2.0 turbo engine stuff.

 

What I figured. Sad the way people over price stuff esp on sleezbay

 

Welp, I just acquired x8 OEM Coils from two venders on eBay... I'll add these to the "get done before winter" list! Thanks everyone!

 

Damn yall some big spenders

 

HPTune just ripped me off 24.46 (plus some % of the 249.99 they took for Protune).

At the end of the transaction 24.46 for shipping was added after I submitted payment. How much does that teeny Pro cable weigh/space does it occupy does it actually cost to ship? 0lbs, 0.11 sq feet 4.00???



Wow.

 

Hurts less the more you do it lol

 

Yeah the shipping charge is a total ripoff!

 

I was going to get new stock coils but they were $600-700. Got those 8arfts for about $150.

 

I suspect that you will be rather disappointed in the size to cost-to-ship (what you're charged) ratio.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why a a supercharger for a Ford is $3k, but we get bent over for $8k.

Riddle me that Batman.

 

they sell more ford kits than tundra kits plain and simple. Anything for the tundras seems more even suspension wise.

 

Economies of scale.

 

Yeah if I could find any for around that price, hopefully less. Not when im seeing 1 for 50 or higher lol

 

This is true.

But when it comes to finding a used set up, those prices are still "crack smoker" high.

I already know I'm paying the long dollar, it's just annoying.

 

Cause fords are cheap and toyotas are good, duh.

 

I went on a 2k mile trip 4th of July weekend. The whole time going from S.FLa to AL, I pretty much stayed out of boost or very little. When I was in AL, I had kid in his Silverado with mufflers rev it when he passed by. I wasn't having it. So I opened her up. Needless to say I am at around 9.5-10, it was also night time. When I flew by him, I could see the fuel coming out of the exhaust. Kinda looked like a diesel. Ever since I went to boost reference it went rich. Been meaning to data log and get @snivilous to re-tune. I have noticed a difference from when I was at 10.5-11.
