Then again I'm a data nerd and not having that info would make me nervous every time I hit high RPMs...

It's a valid question. I was curious if anyone knows of even a single issue. I'm not aware of even one. Maybe there are some issues. If there are problems I'd be all for looking at the tune. But you can't change it anyway, so I'm not really sure what you'd do with the info if you had it.

At the end of the day, they can only develop a tune based on the development mule(s) that they had at the time. There's a 97-99% chance, maybe higher, that their tune is going to be just fine on your ride in all conditions. As long as you dont deviate from the hardware they tested with, nothing goes wrong with your fuel pump (recall) or injectors, you live at a 'normal' altitude and temperature, can find the right octane and dont get too much or too little ethanol in your mix etc.
The point that got me wondering/concerned though, was one company apparently using a 7th injector and one not. That tells me that someone was seeing AFRs leaning out and/or pushing injector duty cycles past 100% or dangerously close in certain conditions. They certainly didn't add that complexity and some extra cost for no reason, and you dont usually see massive overhead on stock fuel injectors since it impacts the ability to sip fuel while idling smoothly. I had to use Mustang Cobra injectors for my 2.0L motor to run E85, it was a ***** to get them to open for a short enough period to get it to not stumble at idle.
|
Thanks for not tearing into this noob too badly! I had actually considered the altitude as URD is practically sea level MD, where I'm in OH is about 800ft. I figure that's not a big enough change, but my regular runs down to the Blue Ridge put me up to 2500ft at some points. Dragging a heavy vacation load (3000lbs boat/trailer, plus a dozen guns in hard-side cases, plus 10k rds of ammo, plus a week's worth of clothes) for vacation up some 8% grades on a 95F day and 90% RH that's got to be a significant difference. It's the lack of power there which drove me to the SC in the first place.
I did notice that the URD kit included both a replacement fuel pump and 7th injector setup. I attributed the higher kit cost partly to this, though figured the requirement for additional fuel was driven by a higher boost level. More air needs more fuel right? I never got around to the wide-band O2 or boost gauge (got de-reailed by possibility of converting to MAP over MAF), but would certainly be interested in a comparison between the two kits.

From what I understand the impellers on the OEM fuel pumps were soaked in a chemical agent too long. That left the impellers porous, able to absorb gasoline, and which compromised their structural integrity. Which means the impeller can break, or at best the holes allow fuel to flow through the impeller blades reducing output capacity. Replacing the pump with the correction may improve the flow over what it was, but is not the same as replacing the pump with something which has a higher fuel flow. I know URD has pump kits, and you can request any of those pumps with your SC kit for an upcharge.
IIRC the OEM is a 230L/hr pump, and the standard with the URD kit is the 255L/hr pump.

Ok thanks for that info. I didn’t know exactly why there was a recall. I’m wondering if my dealership will drop an aftermarket kit in while they have they tank down. Lol
I have a pretty good relationship with them but not sure they will take me up on that.

So after all this you still don't understand. I never said one thing about anyone's tune. I discussed other components that can fail and cause a catastrophic failure on a blown engine. Electrical system; pumps; fuel pump driver modules; injectors, just to name a few.
For all dumb shit we (and likely you) spend out money on - wheels, tires, light bars, bumpers, winches, etc. - are you really raising your hand and saying $250 for a wideband is money ill spent?

Ha, a noob blows his motor by leaning it out to hell and then asks about AFRs, not the other way around.
Where the hell are you going on vacation? Beirut?
Yea, more air = more fuel, boosted motors tend to run richer for a few reasons, safety, cooling effect of vapor, etc. When the injectors run out of room (Injector duty cycle) the motor leans out as RPMs increase due the the smaller and smaller time window to inject that fuel into each cylinder. Boost gauges are useful AFR gauges are more useful, in terms of diagnostics, IMO. What you can do with that info depends on the ECM access and your own knowledge and skills.
I'm super curious how two companies arrived at very different results on fueling needs. Does the URD kit use a bigger blower/more power than the Magnuson one? Maggies are well known units and in my experience is a good company, so it's a bit strange they took a set of data and said "Yup, we good" and URD took a similar set of data and said "Crap, add more fuel" with a fuel pump AND an injector. (Full disclosure, I think a 7th injector is a pretty half assed way to approach that issue) No reason to add the complexity and cost if it's not required.

The URD is a bigger blower and I’m 99% certain it pushes more boost. The Magnuson is a 1.3L blower. I think the URD is around 8psi and the Magnuson is around 6psi. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong on the URD info.

Do you monitor your diff temps? Periodically check the preload on your pinion bearings? Your internal transmission oil pressure? The oil film thickness in your U joints? Why not?
The same reason you don't measure those is the same reason it's not worth the effort to install a wide band sensor - the probability of a failure x the cost of the failure < $250. It's not a close call. If 1 in 20 engines was failing due to fuel lean out - everyone would know. The rational choice is not to install one unless you're doing a custom tune. No one without aftermarket ECU is doing a custom tune. If you're running a custom turbo setup or maybe the whipple from URD - and then wanting to push the limits of power, sure. It probably makes sense. Running a Mag supercharger - unless there's evidence suggesting that there's a problem, there's no value in the information it provides.

How much quicker is the car with the Sc?
Night and day?

It’s makes a big difference. No more downshifting on hills while on the interstate. Tons more passing power. It’s so much easier to drive. Gets up to speed effortlessly. It’s a nice addition to have. Makes driving the 4runner so much more enjoyable.

Do you need to use premium fuel after installing the SC? Thinking of adding one of these

Exactly. And spend money to have your 4runner sniffed on the dyno to make sure its running correct. Lean means BOOM!!!!

Does anyone recommend a higher flow fuel pump after they installed the Magnuson blower. I’ve got a 2014 so I need to have my fuel tank dropped per the recall. I was thinking since they will have it dropped to just go ahead and buy the 255 fuel pump from URD and have them put that in. Any recommendations on this?
