4Runner/Tacoma Procharger

[jdm-v35]

I have owned a couple prochargers on my g35 previously and the bad thing is they are extremely loud. Just imagine driving a 4runner with the sound of a jet engine filled with marbles.

They can make good power, but as others have said it is mostly high end rpm power. Probably not well suited to this application unless you are trying to drag race. Also you need to change the oil in them pretty often and it must be with their proprietary oil, and the seals can blow pretty quickly so maintenance is expensive.

They do offer the helical geared version as an option, but yeah I know what you mean. Some people dig the noise, but on a daily driver in city traffic, it would get annoying.

My problem with this setup is that I have dual batteries in the factory locations, which happens to be where the ProCharger and and intercooler pipe run. That's a no-go for me.

Somebody build a super or turbocharger setup that builds boost from 900 rpm to 3000 rpm, and accommodate a winch bumper with winch, intercooler, and dual batteries, and I'd be all over. The URD is the only one that comes close, with the price penalty and possible some time spent dyno tuning.... an LS swap is in the same price range.

They're a couple hours from me, I've pondered asking them to build me a kit for my V8.

Definitely want but with my dual battery setup that's a no go. I could reroute the accessory battery to the rear compartment since it's a sealed dry cell battery. Probably mount it in a sealed NHRA battery box to protect the terminals from accidental contacts. Hmmmmmm.......

Anybody bite the bullet on this kit yet??


I really want to hear first hand how the install went, and first impressions

Centrifugal SC on a 4runner?

A steep, linear powerband comes to mind with not much under the curve. Am I wrong for immediately picturing a race car with peaky HP at the upper end with not much down low?

anyone install this kit yet?

I was really intrigued with this kit until I saw what size blower they picked... it is oddly huge for a kit based on a stock motor... I feel like they could have picked something smaller that would have spooled way faster, but maybe they chased a peak number for advertising purposes...

Last time I inquired about this kit, they hadn't shipped a single one yet... I don't think the kit was actually finished...

Interesting yea. I know they are shipping/installing them... they put one on a 2016 4R just yesterday (not mine) and i know of atleast 1 guy on instagram that did their beta test program and has it installed already.

keeping my eyes peeled for a review to pop up on here sometime!

You are spot on. I had a P1SC on my Mustang and that's a perfect description of how it will work on a low torque engine. It takes RPM. A positive displacement like the Maggie is what these trucks need.

I’m going to be going this route as I already have a 1000whp procharged mustang that I can’t get enough of. The whistle and jet like sound they produce is music to the ears of any real car guy. A PD blower would be best for a truck when towing and needing more torque down low, but the procharger makes linear power and still is way more responsive throughout the entire power band not just wide-open throttle or upper RPMs. I was on the fence between the Whipple and procharger but I like the fact that there’s less moving parts with the procharger not having a pump for liquid to air intercooling etc. I’ll be pulling the trigger within the next month so I’ll keep everyone posted.

I am very interested.

What I would like to know is if our transmissions will hold up to this.

If they make 50% more power as apposed to the other options at 30%, that could put us at 405hp and 417ftlb. Can the a750f hold up to that?

There was a mentioning that A750F torque capacity is 368 Ft-Lbs

And it was in the older smaller v8 land cruisers from 2003 to 2007

 

[HorsepowerJunkie]

The Ecu tune should increase clamping force (line pressure) for the clutches in the tranny which would be the failing point when making more torque. These are relatively lower power levels in the scheme of things so I would think it should be all good. I’ll find out haha

Update?

 

[M_RED]

Bump for an update??

Bump for an update??

Some lady on FB claimed that she had one and it was developed on her Runner because hubby works at Procharger but of course no videos and dyno chart.

Anyone install one yet?

im on the fence about this or the magnuson. lots of good info on here, again im leaning towards the magnuson.
