SUPERCHARGE OR NOT

2014 1794 edition. 57000 miles. It supercharging worth the money?

 

Worth the money? Please elaborate.

Welcome, gang!

 

Absolutely worth it !

 

All those that are N/A have no say here

s/c is Jedi level fun

all grown ass men should have at least one s/c in the stable

just get it. $12k and your life will be immeasurably better

 

I think it’s worth it. I wouldn’t want to be without it at this point. The tundra wouldn’t excite me to drive the same anymore without boost. I’d be onto something else by now like a 3/4 ton….Oh wow, I just realized buying a supercharger is actually saving me money! There’s a $500 off sale on Harrops right now….

 

All depends on what you deem worth it.

I do not have one, yet. But I am thinking late next year. Just haven't decided on when yet.

If it's in your budget and time frame, why not?

 

Listen to these guys they are the reason I'm putting one on...if you say 12000 real fast it just rolls off your tongue

 

You keep saying that, makes me want to do that to my 4.6!!

 

Honestly, and shockingly, I'm not turned off by the initial cost. It's the 93 octane cost that I'm worried about. Sort of like buying a BMW or Benz. The maintenance costs are what ppl don't think about but it's why they trade them in before 60k miles.

 

Fill with mid-grade. It’ll be fine. Or fill with 93 at Costco.

But yes, a SC is def worth it. NO RAGRETS!

 

It’s worth it so worth it I did twice lol

 

And you pay more for gas than I do

 

I burn 93 in mine since day 1,it's not a daily driver but fill-up is tough

 

Do it! I got in the game 3 years ago on my 2015 when it had 50k on the clock (had the truck since new). I only have 60k on it now, but it's so much fun!! The only downside is that you will shit your pants the first time you drive it. That and longevity of the vehicle.

 

Don’t worry about longevity

we have mongrels that have >200k of hard miles of s/c’d life

a proper tune is the key

Low afr’s, @WOT, is the key

 

BTW, Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Awesome to hear! I should probably get a proper re-tune since mountain adventures are ahead.

 

Cross over to the Dark Side.

Feel the power..............

 

Join us in boost this is the way.

 

eh..at $.30/gal delta...that's only about $390 a year. heck. I spend more than that supersizing my what-a-meal.

 

I think it'll be worth it
I've had a brand new TRD supercharger for my RCSB in a box for years now. Just need a fit kit that I couldn't get during COVID and haven't really tried since.
I would like to be a SC member sooner than later.

 

What kind of warranty do you get for 12k?

 

You get Smiles per Mile...I tented my windows so they will probably say it caused excessive wear on the window motors

 

Warranties are for 3rd gens.

 

I can't believe you just said that...not the 3rd gen

I have had mine on my '13 Limited Sequoia since April, I sourced the parts used/aftermarket for about 7k & did the labor. I love it!




This is in 108 degree weather, I got over 10 before it went over 90.

 

Your answer wins.

I award you 1000 internet credits.

Genius answer.

 

I had a dealership install mine. They warrantied the install for a year, and Magnuson warrantied the parts for 3 years. Who knows how they would have actually worked out if something happened during that time....

 

Lots of these parts (Intercooler, intercooler pump, airbox, hoses) can be had for much less. The IC from Frozen & airbox from superchargersonline.com are less & better. FYI
