General Supercharger Thread

THAT'S WHAT I SAID....!!!!

 

I would have at least put a temporary turn-down on that were it mine. I'd be embarrassed to bring something like that in for someone to work on.

 

These are the experiments we like others to try so we never do that...Yowza! I'd throw a downturn tip on for $40 and feel a little more confident I'll make it without summoning Ghostrider!

 

you should see the scored rear rotors

 

It's a supercharged Bunsen burner!

It's your real life Just Rolled In video clip.

 

I have dozens of pictures and videos of this kind of stuff.....I LOVE that website!

 

"At a low enough temperature everything is a solid..."

 

Solid offroad mentioned that with just the poly engine mounts and new oem transmission mounts would be good for most people. The trans poly mount he made for the Tacomas were popular for the offroad racing. My offroad is mostly gravel logging roads. Not sure on a hp rating and they do transmitt a little extra drive train vibs at idle and low rpm cruise. It did feel more planted with both engine trans mounts.

With the engine mounts I felt some vibration but not real noticeable and it performed well. Some rides will feel a bit more or maybe more perceived like @helidave had.
The transmission mounts does make it more solid. I noticed I could feel the starter cranking and the firing up of the engine, the Lexus coils do offer some extra oomph. The vibe were a little more felt on the floor but only at idle and driving under 10mph. Some may feel it more. I like it and as solid offroad said that most don't need the trans mount for daily driving.

 

Thanks! I have no idea how I missed the thread about all of these mounts, especially with the recent traffic. I'm all caught up over there, now. I have a few messages in with him about trying to secure both. Trans mount could probably wait, but I have a narrow window of opportunity to get the engine mounts done during the swap, so I'm hoping there are some in stock. Knowing I'm headed for the 600/600 club, if not nearing the 700/700, and recognizing all of that flex is on a single downpipe in my case, this just makes sense. Fingers crossed my truck chooses to be in the "barely noticeable" category.

 

I have Solid Ofraod motor mounts, I did not feel any negative difference, the truck feels more connected off the line at wot.

I also had new OEM trans mounts installed at the same time.

 

Wow! What gets me is there are so many clamp on connectors for an exhaust system even for O2 bugs. I thought I Mcgivered jerryrigged some crap in my day but...that "just rolled in" is crazy.

 

EVERY SINGLE DAY......Almost nothing amazes me anymore

 

As @e30cabrio said its not really perceptible. If I put my feet on the floorboard near the brake pedal I can feel it on startup and idle but it's light. Unless you got someone who gets in and says what did you do to your truck then you'll be good...

 

Man i need to get off my ass and get my injectors put in lol

 

Well, if you ask my wife, she'll respond with "what truck?" If it starts, it's a winning kind of day around this house.
