It’s been 3 years since I had the Yota Shop motor installed. I ended up getting an Gen 2 supercharger and the same time to replace the original, which cost about $2k. Almost half the price of the whole kit since it was already set up for an s/c. Only about about 15k miles on it. Zero issues...

Install ended up costing $2600 with them supplying very few parts and doing a couple of extra things for me. If anyone is ever in need of good mechanics in the Savannah Ga area, I have several to refer you to. I have zero regrets about the route I took. Yotashop and Superchargers online have...

It went right on. Only thing I think could have been an issue was the tensioner pulley it throttle cable bracket. Neither were, in my case.

Looking into power steering and brake flush intervals now. Thanks buddy.

I put a Yotashop reman 5vz-fe dressed Longblock and New Magnuson Supercharger in my 4Runner. I have been combing through the forums trying to piece together a maintenance schedule for my particular vehicle. I thought I’d share it with y’all to see if anyone has anything they would do differently...

Is there a part I will need to order replace the gray s/c with the black s/c?

It’s not coming with the kit. Only the blower itself.

Sorry for not being specific. 1999 4runner. Has a TRD 1st Gen (gray) Supercharger. Replacing with 2nd gen (black) S/c.

I ordered a 2nd gen s/c to replace my 1st gen. I’m under the impression that it should be a seamless swap. Anyone done this before. Will all the brackets/pulleys/belts be good to go?

I ended up contacting Yota1. Seem like super good dudes. I would trust them to rebuild a motor based off our dialogue. They did not have any cores available, so I ended up goin with Yotashop.

Update: Diagnosed Blown head gasket. Decided to pull the trigger on a Yotashop motor. Also purchased for install: Gasket set Radiator 6x injectors Engine Install Kit Knock sensor wire Total price was a whopping $6700. It's ridiculous, but cheaper than a new car and I had the money saved. I'd...

Great intel. Not new to me. Been driving from 193k-245k, no issues. I'm going to remount, fix when I need to. Thanks!

No, but I’ll look into them now.

I got my rig repainted and lost a couple of the roof rack screws. The screws/bolts that mount the rails directly to the roof. Anyone have a part number or source to get new ones? I hit up the local dealership and he indicated it wouldn’t be to easy to find. I’m following up this week but...

I mentioned the supercharger to them and they simply stated that it would not void the warranted as long as the pulley did not exceed the Toyota recommended 6lbs of boost.
