General Supercharger Thread

Sick!! Yea those gauge locations are clean!

 

That's my favorite gauge location now! Nice work on the truck!

 

Thanks, Toby. Next time I'll make reservations at Marroccos. We'll pick you up on the way.

 

Nice work! If he wants the gauges angled towards hime the angle rings work well. I've used them on my afr gauge in the dash and on the fuel pressure gauge at the brake controller. Makes for a little better view angle while driving.

 

Installed some eye candy ‘while I was in there’. Did I waste my money? Wouldn’t be the first time

I’m SOOOO close to getting the blower back on there! Belt drive and coolant crossover next… So far I’ve only got one bolt that I can’t figure out where it goes

 

Only if you wanted to go to a 7 inch crank pulley....

 

Things great- noticed a significant difference when I had mine in.

 

No plans at this time. Still eyeballing the 3.0 party pulley though..

 

Reminds me I need to order that lol

 

I feel like i've fell back in love with the truck again. The supercharger really makes it like a whole new truck.

Its really torquey, almost too much for just daily driving around town. Kinda feels like when you would have tow haul mode on and taking off at a stoplight and you poke the throttle a little too hard and it lurches. Can that be tuned out?
I gave it a little more beans today than i did yesterday....kinda working up to WOT. Going from a roll and punching it, it downshifts just fine and hauls-ass. I did try putting it in manual mode in 3rd and gave it the beans and when i tried to shift it into 4th it kinda didn't really want to shift until i left off. Just having it in drive it seems to shift fine.

I went ahead and ordered a barb kit in different sizes. I hate the idea needing to check if those fittings are leaking each time i drive it.....i'll just bypass it.

 

I can't find the reference but I've read a few times to not be accelerating when manually shifting. You should let off the throttle.

 

Congrats!

On my 2020 I've aggressively muted the pedal response with an Hike It XS throttle controller (ECO/Off-road mode) with mixed results. I know some of the earlier Tundras have a very aggressive pedal profile so this may not entirely solve this. Can't say I recommend any of the throttle controllers capable of muting the pedal since they can potentially trigger limp mode.

 

I felt the same way about how torquey that thing is. Like @Saltyhero13 I had the throttle response tamed down to my liking via custom tuning. Drives like a smooth almost stock truck when puttering, but gets on it when you feed it a bit more pedal. I thought I was the only one that didn’t like feeling like the truck was gonna rip my face off with 1/8 pedal…

 

Toyota sure has messed with the pedal tuning. Stock my '07 was decent, then they had the pedal recall and it would chirp the tires when going over speed bumps. Got 1 more factory retune and it settled out.

I've kept that same response in HPT thru the present. I can pop it in tow/haul if I want it more spicy

 

I definitely wont do that again.

I remember reading about torque management they implimented on 2.5gens or something like that. Supper touchy throttle on the early tundras.

That definitely seems like the driving experience i'm looking for. tame until you dont want it to be.

 

Toby goes to lunch. Some anxious moments for me.

 

Custom tuning can have the throttle sensitivity adjusted. I have mine changed to be able to manage the power steady over big hits offroading. Give it the beans already
