URD V6 4.0L Supercharger

I spoke with Bryan at URD yesterday about their two supercharger kits for the 4.0L V6 motors.

URD 4.0 S/C Kit

He didn't mention whether they planned on making a kit specific to the 4Runner or not. But, he did tell me that if I was willing to perform some cutting and "fitting" work on the intake piping myself, or knew of a shop that could do it for me, the kit they advertise for the FJ Cruiser will fit the V6 4Runners. He told me that they would provide everything else needed in the install.

He did say that he had sold one kit to a 4Runner owner. So, if that owner is here, speak up now, I'd love to hear from you.

This came to my attention at a point where I had finally decided that I was going to build my own Roots-based blower setup...I still may just to keep costs down, so who knows. For what it's worth though, there is a shop now that claims to have a kit compatible with the V6.

I know there are more V6 owners here besides me that want more power.....He said 90whp @ 5.5psi was the gain on the FJ....

Nice leg work jdub24!!! I'm sure this news will make many V6 owners happy, I know I am. I'll be keeping an eye on this kit and anyone who installs it on their 4Runner. Unfortunately I paid good money on an extended warranty and I don't want to jeapordize that by buying and installing this kit. As soon as that expires though, it's free game!!!! :biggrin2:
 
I'm definitely interested! Been waiting too long for TRD to come out w/their SC. It really blows that a bunch of these custom fabrication shops are only developing performance products for the Taco & FJ, but none for the 4R. What gives? I've contacted JBA to inquire about the headers they make for the taco & fj, but they said they have no interest whatsoever in developing one for the 4R! How hard or different can it be? Fitment issue? :mad:

No problem....I know I've been looking into forced induction since I bought this thing for my wife 2 years ago. It didn't help that I was driving a modded Mitsu Evo w/25psi every day....

Now that the Evo is gone, and the 4Runner is my daily driver, my desire for boost has increased exponentially. I've been researching what's needed to put together my own turbo kit vs. supercharger kit since March. I've decided to do my own Roots blower kit since those are the simplest/cheapest to install. I know the Roots kit won't make the same amount of power that a Rotrex kit will make, but it will be easier to fabricate my own kit with the Roots blower.

I'm debating now....The URD kit is more $$$ than my estimates for my own kit, but it will come with a warranty, and the Rotrex will make more power than the Roots will.....I'm confused, but excited. It's been way too long waiting for these options.

Plus, with that wicked TRD Xrunner concept out there, it may finally be on the horizon for TRD to release a S/C kit for the 4.0 V6. However, I would NEVER hold my breath waiting for that to happen....TRD would probably release one for the FJ &/or the Taco, but overlook the 4R.

Check out this link to my other TOY(ota)...Click Me....I've been working on this beast since May. It's been hogging my time and $$, so I haven't been on this forum in a while. This car is also for sale now, if anyone is interested, PM me.....FYI, there is one updated half-pic of my 4R on the first page of that link. You can see the blacked out headlights and the bubble of the scoop from the sport hood I've added since I last updated my 4R gallery here.

There is a guy on the fjcruisers forum who had this put in; his rig is incredible... there are several pictures of it over there. He's now at about 380hp and he says his FJ is now faster than his M3... and this thing is lifted and has very aggressive tires. It looks sweet, check it out.
