Got a line on a 2nd gen supercharger for $800 and he's negotiable. Waiting to hear how many miles are on it. The rust on the pulley and silver plate on top raise concerns. Also the fact that it looks like it was ripped out of a car. (Cut lines) What do you guys think? What else would I need to do the install besides gaskets and the 7th injector kit?

Update! This is what I just got back from the seller: I believe around 140 thou. Im not sure of the last run part. I bought it to install but my ecu wont support it. As for rust pulley has some surface rust but that can be cleaned off with wire wheel. nose cone bearins seem tight. My mechanic said it was solid.

Here's your parts list, pilgrim! (download the PDF)

Tech Knowledgebase - Installation Manual for TRD 3.4L V6 Supercharger

Go to Page 2... That's the list. If it's on the list and you don't have it, that's what you're missing. If all he's got is what's in the picture, you're missing pretty much everything.

Edit... just so this doesn't come across like I'm being an ass, the main things you need are:

1. Dynamic Tensioner & Hardware (you can get this separately, online for $275-300)
2. Longer Alternator Belt, which drives the S/C (about $20 @ any Toyota Dealer)
3. 1-Way Check Valve (this is IMPORTANT to have, prob have to buy from Toyota Dealer)
4. Hardware to bolt the S/C to the intake manifold
5. TRD "O" Shaped Throttle Body Gasket (about $15 @ any Toyota Dealer)

I can see the support spacer for the S/C in the picture (Listed as Spacer, Manifold Support Bracket in the manual)

I can see the bracket for the throttle/transmission kickdown cables in the picture (Listed as Bracket, Accelerator and Transmission Cable in the manual)

You can re-use the gasket on the intake manifold when you install the S/C, assuming it isn't torn up. The gasket between the upper and lower intake runners is the same as the gasket between the lower intake runner and the intake manifold, you can use either one, so if one is torn up you can use the other.

The rest is an assortment of vacuum fittings, hoses, and hardware. Given enough time and determination, you could peice it all together based on the list in the install manual.

Last but not least, that thing looks pretty oily on the bottom of the nose cone. If that nose cone is leaking, you'll need to replace/rebuild it. Replacements are about $300 for a kit.

Awesome info! That's what I love about this forum! I think I'm just going to hold off on it. I know that the transmission valve body needs to be redone to handle the added power from the supercharger. I really don't want to get that much into it. Being that my 4Runner is about to be a trail only vehicle, I don't really need it. Many thanks though! Here's a link to the supercharger if anyone is interested: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/3150122459.html
 
recheck

So I checked it out, and the dude is a waste of time, I wanted to buy it, send it to be rebuilt, and basically have a new SC system on my 4runner for under 3K..but I will keep looking..
