The 3.4L TRD Supercharger Thread

IF a dealership doesn't have one, I read somewhere that you can use certain PCV valves... I don't recall what make and model pcv valve, but a little searching on this forum or yota tech should work. Good luck

My dealership was the first place I went. Showed them the installation directions from the S/C, which has a picture but know part#!! They did their best...parts guy spent 30+ minutes looking for it, but finally gave up. They advised if I get them a part# they'd be happy to order for me.

I then went to NAPA...who found me a PVC one way valve, but due to it having such a large hose ends...they wanted $30!!

Thank you Sir for your response and help! Much appreciated!!

I ordered mine from Camelback, but you ca get it here also...

TRD Replacement Check Valve - One Way (3.4 V6 S/C) PTR26-35042

I think that somewhere in the beginning of this thread, someone mentions that you can also use a PCV from a certain Isuzu model (not sure which one though).

Sir...you are my Hero!! That's exactly what I needed...Thank You Sir!! And to top it off, I got it for a whooping $6 bucks!!! Can you believe it...something that's made by "Toyota" for a S/C and also has those crazy expensive 3 little initials on it, "TRD"!!!! Wow...I'm still just in amazement!! Not to mention...it was for sale by itself. You know how normally items for our S/C's are packaged in "kits" so you have to by 10 items to get the one you need. Then the other 9 items...you, nor anyone else will ever need...frustrating!!

Anyway...thank you very much for all your help sir!!

I make 6-7 stock, you may want to get your rotor pack recoated.

is there any other problems as to what it might be? loose hose? bad connection? bad gasket? i really dont want it to be the SC, i dont have time nore money to pull it off and have it sent in to be re coated right now. damn!

Double-check your boost lines and make sure none of the t-fittings are leaking or anything like that. Might even just be a leak in the hose for the gauge.

What elevation are you at? I'm no physicist, but air is thinner at higher elevations so in theory the same mass of air at 7000 feet would be less pressure than at sea level.

Won't affect the boost pressure at all, the absolute pressure is different so tuning will have to change, but boost will not change.

I would check what game said as well as your bypass valve, the bladders in them tend to get dry and crack which causes a boost leak. Other than that there is no other culprit. Unless you really really botched the install on the gasket that should be good.

The rotors being worn will not cause any issues unless the rotor pack bearings are shot. If that is the case you would have to have it sent out and be rebuilt, but there would be no reason to recoat them other that. Unless it was getting loud or is loud I wouldn't mess with it.

Here is my newly bought used dynamic tensioner bolt set next to a brand new one. They are a little bit different. Mine is longer. Is this going to be an issue during install? Also, the the dynamic tensioners ware out? If they do how can I check my used one is still good?

You'll be fine... See the discolouration at the bottom of the old bolt? That's how far the old one went in, but I know that the threaded hole it goes in is much deeper than that. Also you will probably need a tap to clean out the threads... Previous posts should have the correct tap size.
 
Is the valve supposed to have the stop screw all the way in?

Nipple come out of the super charger into a T fitting.

One runs to my 7th injector another to another T fitting that splits off and goes to my FPR and my boost gauge.

Boost gauge is soft rubber hose connection into a hard line

Yeah my super charger is super quiet as far a ticks knocks or tapping is concerned. I'm going over all my lines now to see what might be wrong.

Knicks knocks and taping is really not good a low grumble isn't good either. A steady buzz is normal.

None of that with mine [emoji106]

I just finished taping all the connections with electrical tape to try and seal it a little better and maybe get a more accurate reading.


EDIT: something has to be wrong. when i accelorate it will build boost to 3-3.5 psi (currently my max) then suddenly fall off (urd gauge) and my 7th injector will quite spraying. i can replete this constantly. im trying to figure out whats wrong...

IAC valve direction

SC install instructions helpfully suggest "black end towards throttle body".

This IAC valve they sent me has no black end.

I assume the airflow wants to be away from the IAC, so that it has vacuum assist and doesn't get unwanted boost pressure. If that's mistaken, would someone please correct me before I have this thing entirely back together? It would be much appreciated.

As you blow into the line. Air moves through it. If I does. The end with your lips goes on the throttle body side. The end that has air coming out goes on the supercharger side.


Essentially vacuum is pulled from the motor. But when it undergoes boost you don't want it blowing air into the throttle body.


So suck air into the motor not blowing out. Got it?



I looked into That yesterday.
