hahaha, nice gotta love that sound...

Lastly this is what the SC is attached to. I gotta say Eddie from www.kinderhooktoyota.com hooked me up with the TRD SC, gave me a great deal, so if you guys ever want one give him a call.

biff, you have the v8, right?

Have you tested the acceleration times now? Like just estimate your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with a stop watch?

What are your impressions of the additional 120 hp? Was it worth it???

 

[Biff]

More than worth it. I haven't tested my times yet but its on my to do list. I figure I spent about $35 per hp I gained. good investment since I have to tow alot.

 

[peter78]

Very impressive. The V8 definately needed another 120 HP.:eek2:

Your running boards, are they normal or are they tubes? Have you considered a TRD transmission cooler? That is one bad ass 4Runner.:chnsw:

 

[Biff]

Thanks

I have Wagg Side tubes. Yes I considered it but TRD doesn't make a tranmission cooler for 03 V8 runner.

Rear bull bar

Hey Biff,

I saw in that overall picture of your 4Runner that you have what looks like a bull bar for your rear bumper. That looks really cool -- I've never seen one of those before.


Where'd ya get it? How much?

Thanks a lot!

PS. Congrats on the supercharger...I wish there was such a thing for the V6's, but I'll just have to wait for now I guess.

 

[Biff]

Thanks I got my rear bumper guard from Waag for $200

finally, SOMEONE has installed a supercharger on a 03 V8.

How much was the install? Did you get it done at the dealership to preserve the warranty??

Just curious, I've been "trying" to convince my fiancee about supercharging the 4Runner (it's both of ours, ugh), and she won't have a go for it until she sees that it won't cripple the car. . .

Install $600 at the dealership, and yes this preserves the warranty. Took me 6 months to convince my wife, so I know what you mean.

 

[ssmumich00]

WOW!

$3890 from the guy selling them on this forum from a dealership, and $600 for the install, that's nearly $4500 for 120hp!! That's about $37.5/hp, DARN CHEAP!!!



well, now I have the costs, hopefully after the new year, I can get this going. . .the only forseable problem i see is that I got a 4X2, which means I'll be spinning two tires instead of 4. .. ugh

I know thats what I thoght at first 4x2 is it worth it. Trust me its worth it.

I spent over $47/hp for my Borla Exhaust, this is a better investment.

Biff,

You gotta get some times on your 0-60 and 1/4mile. Even if you just do an estimate with a stopwatch...

CURIOUSITY IS KILLING THE CAT!!!

You said you took an FX from a stop light - even if it was just a FX35, they do 0-60 in about 6.8... and the FX45 at about 6.1...

Biff is your runner 4x2 or 4x4? If it's 4x4 - can you smoke the tires from a stand still?

I have a 4x2. I'll try doing a run this weekend, I'm curious as well.

 

[Supercharged]

i think it all depends on the gravel, some can and some cant at least that's how mine is

 

[ssmumich00]

since you're a 4X2 like me, do you have a lot of tire spin from the stop lights?? Do you turn the tsc on??

Biff - did you get to do any tests?
