The 3.4L TRD Supercharger Thread

I am looking at a used supercharger locally here in Sacramento unknown exact mileage $1400 does this sound reasonable?

To comment on the videos, that just confirms everything about superchargers vs turbos that's been out for years. The belt driven supercharger will get more usable power instantly, even at lower RPM's below 3000. A turbo will always create more top-end power but struggle to compare until you've got enough exhaust flow at higher RPMs to spin the turbo.

I think for a SUV like a 4Runner though, the supercharger is much more applicable. Instant power in any circumstance. But if you're looking to race a 4Runner (does anyone do that?) then a turbo will win every time.

Can someone implement a parallel or turbo system in series. Smaller one for low rpm then transition to a larger turbo for higher rpm.

Twin-charged vehicles exist, a supercharger to get things rolling and then a turbo that kicks in on the high end. But it's a lot of work and engineering for not a whole lot of improvement.

Variable geometry turbos hugely decrease lag over the older tech stuff. I'm planning on using a GTC1549VZ on this build, and it reportedly spools right at idle, and hits full boost at 1,800 rpm. That's pretty damn quick if you ask me.

That's not bad at all. How much does something like that cost though?

Dude I feel like I need to get one of these from you but what year cables are these for?..

Any 3rd gens. Specifically for superchargers obviously. It's for auto or can be used for manual but one side won't be used.
Smaller left one is for throttle and larger right one is for trans kick down.

2 weeks later, still waiting on Snow Performance to get back to me on a warranty claim. Had the controller blow up on me during install. They sure were quick to sell it to me but not so quick to get back to me about a replacement...

I just want to drive my 4Runner like it's supposed to be driven :( Keeping it out of boost with a 2.1" pulley at sea level isn't much fun.
 
Ok, the SC started making a new noise this week. I really can't put off the rebuild any longer. I'd attempt it myself but it honestly scares me when it comes to getting the rotors retimed correctly and getting the rear bearings out seams near impossible without special tools. (Gen 2)

Who has sent theirs out for a rebuild and where did you send it? Does anyone do it for less than $700?

I thought there was a link in this thread for a shop that did it for under $500 but I can't seem to find it.

Any help or recommendations for quality shops is much appreciated.
