I finally got my Supercharger, and had it installed today. Took the dealership 5 hours.

My endless hours on ebay have paid off!

HERE

is the an auction from the guy I purchased from, he has some contact at TRD I figure, since I told him the year of my truck and got the proper kit. which is -626 for the 04 4runner. And the guy is honest, and was a great ebayer! I give him props.

Its alot different, it seems the tranny cant keep up with the shift points, and on a stretch of hwy I always take, (I slow down to 80km/h and punch it to the end i usually hit 140km/h, now with the charger it hit over 180km/h) So it works pretty good...

From a start, it goes REALLY good... Im happy with my purchase, I have to figure a good way to disable the VSC and TRAC, since If I hit it going around a corner the TRAC kicks on.

So you just brought the unit you got off ebay to your dealer and they had no problem installing it? Thats awesome, I would love to get the supercharger just for kicks but I dont think I can justify spending the money....I wish it was half the price then I would jump all over it
 
Pretty much.. I recieved it, called the dealer and droped it off the same day I recieved it... They took the truck at 1pm, and I got it back just after 6pm. I also got a oil change...

They charged me for 5 hours of labour.

so how does it effect the engine. does it wear it down faster what are the drawbacks?

he actually works for a place called Auto Aves, they sell the cars that are reposessed and stuff. he said he has a buddy that could get it for me and install it.
 
Congrats!

How does it sound? Is it much louder when it is making pressure?
I had a 1997 limited with a supercharger. Just trying to get a feel on how loud it can be or if there is a differance between the two models. (I kinda like the sound it grows on you after awhile)
Would like to get one for my 2003 limited V8.

Thanks
 
Its a little louder then the v6 version, but alot quieter at idle... WOT it sounds louder then the V6... ill see if i can record a sample when its a nice day.

Do you have access to a dyno so you could get some numbers? I'd love to see exactly what kind of increase you are getting out of that setup.

P.S. Oh, and congrats!:D
 
I will have Dyno sheets for before and after the UNICHIP, since I have ordered it, and one of my buddies became a dealer for them so we will hit the Dyno with a Wideband to do some tunin

Excellent! Can't wait to see the results.

George.:D
 
Well Fedex was nice enough to drop off the UNICHIP, to my buddy.. Just gotta book some Dyno time..

BTW, if you have a supercharger, listen to TRD, do not use a cold air intake, I tried it today pulled my plugs, and its running REAL lean...

The SC cost 4000 dollars but the dame Dealers I have to deal with will not allow me to buy from an outside supplier and have them install it, they want me to buy their SC which is identical but they want 6000 dollars and then with labor they want a total of 7500.

I tried to deal with them, I said I would pay them 5500 in cash, no cc so then they get everything and still they said no deal, I even told them where to buy the SC for 4000 dollars and still no deal, I don't understand why they are so anal about the price.

Im now looking into Dealers outside NY cause Im not paying an extra 2500 cause thats how they feel, I should do it myself
