they are awfully quick to raise their prices... it was $2700 few weeks ago, now it's $3000.

I wasn't going to spend 2700 instead I was going to get a used one, nevertheless this sucks.

I never saw it, but I was told a distant cousin of mine put a LS1 in a 1st. Gen 4Runner. That could be fun!

This is the route I was going to take before I started my build. It would be a hell of a lot of power with just a few mods for that vehicle.
Someone already stuffed one into a 2wd 3rd gen, and it looked fairly straightforward if you are good at fabrication. The biggest hurdle I saw was trying to find a way to adapt a transfer case to the Getrag transmission, as there are no bolt holes on the tailshaft housing. You could use a 1jz bellhousing to adapt to the R154, but then it would limit how much hp you could put to it. The MKiv 6 speed is stupid strong.
I'm sure if you had someone that was good with cad and had access to a 4 axis cnc mill you could make a custom tailshaft housing.

I wouldnt trust them for anything that sees bumps or offroad. It may be fine onroad if you support the turbo better but still wouldnt trust it offroad. There is a reason why my up-pipe is .1/4 wall and braced to multiple locations.

Yikes, they are disappearing fast! Looks like there wasn't very many to begin with, and the new is probably driving up sales real quick to snap up the last few new ones that exist.
Looks like the era of supercharging our 4Runners is coming to an end very quickly.

Even after I support and reweld it? But I do see your point. Just for grins people are launching 600+whp AWD cars with slicks on these ebay style cheap manifolds with not to many issues. Its almost like hitting a rock when wheeling. Enough where my 400+whp car could turn on windshield wipers, left blinker and my toggle switches. LOL. Its pretty rough on the manifold. Granted a good flex pipe on the exhaust also helps a lot.

LCE Performance has been selling them for years.
I might have to pull the trigger now. I've been looking for years to get a used 3RZ SC. I guess thats what credit cards are for! LOL

I know myself and two other people I know purchased SCs yesterday... Wasn't in the plan for at least a year, but things changed yesterday.
The bulletin from Toyota said no SCs but replacement parts for 10 years... we will see. I know the dealer I talked to yesterday knew about the discontinue but they still had some unanswered questions. More details to come I am sure.

But if they don't support them or if the support costs go up then maybe demand will go down. Hard to say but I think for the next 2-3 years prices will be higher. After that who knows as we get closer to that support agreement.
I myself 'purchased' one yesturday and then got a notice from the dealer that they are on backorder. I called them and the guy had no idea about them being discontinued.He told me if they can't get one they would cancel my order. Time will tell if I have a supercharger or not.

Been installing them like crazy the last couple weeks. I work with TRD a lot and the cancellation of the program has been in the works for a while.

since you work in the program, can you tell us if the service parts will still be available such as replacement nose cones and dynamic tensioners?
