I wanted to start this thread to discuss the supercharger URD (or others as may be available) is developing for the 5th generation 4runner/FJ Cruiser. I do not want this to turn into a debate on whether or not the stock motor has adequate power, we have a few threads talking about that already. :bash:
Based on my early readings I am at least interested in knowing more about the SCer. I think that I read that the stock fuel system will have to be upgraded and I am OK with that. My first concern is with the internals of the 4runner motor, are they strong enough to cope with the added stresses of forced induction? I mean with in reason of course, I am sure you can over boost the motor. I have owned a few turbo charged diesels and have had no problems with the motors, but a diesel motor with a stock TCer might not be the best comparison. I have read up on the work that URD does and have followed some of the early development, as info becomes available, and they seem to be concerned with producing a quality product.
Also, is the stock transmission OK to hold up to the added HP from this mod, or are upgrades needed there as well to support the SC?
Also I am sure there are questions about the price?... And can we get a big group buy discount? :cheers:
Re-reading this, it might sound like I am affiliated with this project, but I am not, just curious and want to open a discussion, so I can make an informed decision, when the time is right.
