Oh wow that's not bad at all, I thought the lift and larger tires would drop it down to around 14 or so... are you still using the stock gear ratios?

Yep, stock 4.10 gear ratio.

It's the "Sport Edition" badge. Only came on the '02's.

Speaking of which, one of them is peeling. I need a new set.

Project SUPER TUNE-UP!

|July 30, 2011|

Well, I guess its time to let you all in on a little secret. I got a supercharger!


I received this today:

I also just ordered this:

URD 7th injector kit.
Underdog Racing Development




And this...
Genuine Black faced TRD Boost gauge with single pod. Yes I looked at Lotek pods, but I want to keep the A-pillar handle and only want one gauge.
Boost Gauge Assembly PTR37-35020



This is gonna be fun!

You've been having fun since I left your place this morning. COOL!!!

Thanks for the help with the Tranny Cooler!!!!

I got a new Koyo Radiator last week so Ripcord helped me install a TRD Tranny Cooler in series with my new radiator.

I'm going to have to get a sign made for your Garage...

I want one so badddd!!!!!!

 

[City_Rider]

So jealous!

Supercharger is getting closer to the top of my list - stoked to see one on your 'Runner!

Hey Ripcord - You got me motivated so I ordered a Scangauge II last night so I can see how effective running the Tranny Cooler in series is...

I don't think anyone would recommend running an auxiliary cooler in series with the stock one... The whole point to adding a trans cooler is to separate the transmission fluid from the coolant.

If you're concerned about operating temperature just buy a bigger cooler?

I hope you didnt pay more than 150 shipped. I can send you the link after work, its a good deal.

Not unless you have a new Radiator. I just put in a brand new Koyo Radiator the day before. I would not do this with my old OEM radiator.

 

[4-Ripcord]

And in New Mexico, its ok to do. But up where you are in canada, yeah dont put them on series.

 

[Hepar]

Awesome purchase! Looks like it's in great condition too. You're making me regret my decision to pass on one!

I don't like you anymore Rip. J/K congrats!
