Re: trd supercharger

Rossy you can be sure that there will be a few interested in the outcome.
Not just the power change but the full sprectrum, drivability, economy etc

Good luck and I look forward to hearing your comments

Rossy, a good thread to gather some photo's and post a report please, to my knowledge not done before with anyone on here anyhow.

Re: trd supercharger

Hey Rossy,

I don't know anyone that has fitted one to a Prado, but I do know of a few people that have fitted them to similar models. There is a guy on A4WDA forums, coincidently named Rossi, who fitted a TRD charger to a 3.4L V6 Hilux, and another bloke Nemisis, who just fitted one to a 4Runner running the 1UZ Lexus V8(non TRD charger /w intercooler).

Be sure to keep us posted on how you go.

Cheers.

Re: trd supercharger

Hey guys
Im interested in fitting a TRD supercharger to my 5vz aswell!
I was just wanting to know how much the upgrade would cost?
And my cars got LPG, Is it still compatable?
cheers and good luck with the fitting. Keep us posted!

Re: trd supercharger

weput on a trd BULLET charger 2 yrs ago they set up the computer/charger for towing/economy for us gives awesome towing ability-like a mack truck and great economy when not towing drivability is much better- torque throughout the rev range no longer narrow like the stock engine . Has only the first boost pulley(6psi) so its not a bitumen melter but does have VERY long legs (200kph plus) Ours was before 7th injector but i added water injection in case of any detonation . cost -7500 plus which was cheaper than car/engine change. Ours is daily driver/touring-towing so we needed reliabilty for outback/desert travel, seems to be so far(done approx 50000) Our 2001 3.4 has from new never had a cat or oxygen sensor and needed 98 fuel or would drown itself in fuel using 91 due to high timing before charger was added , so Tom at Bullet gave us 2 programs (tunings) to run 98 or 91-problem solved.

Re: trd supercharger

Re: trd supercharger

Hi Rossy,
Congrats on a sucessful install !
The dyno results are excellent, more torque at the wheels than standard flywheel output and not far off in power also.

It will be good to see the install pics and what you think of the overall improvement in drivabilty and how the fuel economy has been affected.

Looking forward to your next post.

Lee

Re: trd supercharger

Re: trd supercharger

It's looking good, I wouldn't mind having that power and torque available... What was the final cost for the upgrade? Any problems with install? What is consumption like without towing, highway, city?

Re: trd supercharger

pictures look good rossi, i'd post some too if i could figure it out. hope you have a good run with the setup like we have,the grunt is awesome. don't forget to use fueldoctor occasianly though--hogleg

Re: trd supercharger

jeepster to answer your question i have not tested city/highway fuel consumption yet but it looks promissing i paided $2250.00 for the complete supergharger kit. but the 7th injecter ecu would not fit because mine is an early model parado.i had a piggyback ecu fitted & tuned by chiptorque cost $1500.00+$200.00to dyno it

Re: trd supercharger

Thanks Rossy. I have a 98, so it would probably be the same with the 7th injector as yours. The extra power and torque will be nice, but will have to wait a while.
