More superchargers were put on tundras than on s. Do the math. I would run a supercharger with the stock pulley on a 4. All 4. DirtDawg said:. Click to expand I stand by my statement.
I spent almost an hour reading various stories on the internet relating to trd superchargers, while watching the latest episode of duck dynasty, which was the thing at the time. Now if only you could easily find the parts for the TRD kit I'd love to rock a supercharger. I'm a bit of a boost addict, some might say. Joined Nov 4, Messages 10, Location Colorado. All 2UZ 4.
For some reason unknown to the public, USA made rods did have issue. I've read of 1 japanese made rod breaking, it was reportedly over boosted. I've heard and read of many USA made rods breaking in stock engines.
I run it with the TRD CAI and the only time I through engine codes is doing doughnuts in the dirt, do to the fuel pump not being able to keep up. Haha ok I was about to say you should have done this before the purchase. Sir4taye likes this.

I can't speak from expierence, but the only con I can see is the extra stress you may be placing on the tranny? Pros: quicker, bragging rights, sounds great. And with a Borla exhaust like on the truck in the video above, so did the sound. The V8 had to be modified to keep up with emissions standards. One of these modifications included making it Ecompatible.
According to PickupTrucks. Do not know much about x pipe and h pipes. The flex-fuel Tundras have different fuel pumps, fuel system components, different spark plugs, and a different engine map.
The engine map can be re-programmed, the kit upgrades the fuel pump, but the spark plugs might be the issue. Kevin — I think Toyota is working on offering something that will replace the spark plugs and adjust for flex-fuel…at least I hope so. Thx, again. Tundra Headquarters I guess i just […]. I had no idea that would have been a problem or I would have traveled to another state and bought a non-FF version.
Please Admin… if you get any news on the solution for Flex engines… post it here. This is the only source I have found where this issue is being actively discussed. This entire setup will be very close to what I did on my H2. It made a huge difference in the 6. I purchased a sc for my Toyota Tundra 5.
The dealership told me that the sc runs optimal at 8 celsius and warmer with no restrictions. Can anybody help me out are give me an answer on what I should do? Eloy — I stand corrected. My mistake. We will see what happens seems like some SC owners were having cold weather issues as well. Wont be getting the update until the 14 of May I will let you know the outcome. After reading through all comments on this page, I am wondering if it is worth getting the dual exhaust output my truck has a dual input, single output system and some headers at the sametime the SC will be installed.
If so, there are so many brands of headers, what works best for the Tundra and what exhaust system can compete with the TRD exhaust at a responsible price with a sound that provides silence inside and just enough attention on the out?
It appears that the exhaust really has no impact except the sound and how much difference would the headers make? Finally, I am looking at getting into the whole truck show crowd and was looking for the best ways to get sponsors to fund this possible new hobby of mine…any advice would be helpful. As for sponsors, send us an email and we can get you some ideas. Supercharged output is impressive: TRD 5. Tundra Headquarters According to this, it weighs kg which is pounds without supercharger The N62 engine bmw […].
Read the comments above I noticed that a lot of you are getting pretty good fuel economy with your supercharged Tundras. I have had this setup since the truck had miles on it and it was all installed at the dealership. I towed a trailer with one 4-wheeler on it awhile back and got about 7 mpg pretty consistently on a mile trip! Any thoughts? Once again, please tell — are any modification on computer software fo? Could a supercharger really make that much of a difference?
If so, why does the literature say that it will improve your gas mileage slightly? Ego, from what I understand the dealership did when they installed mine, it did require a reflash of the computer with updated software….
As for your question about the 2wd Tundra being able to handle all that extra juice — absolutely. Every 5. Thank you, friends! So, we put extra load in bed or deflate tires or use wide slick tires or what? What can we really do? So, my case obviously is to get the software and make a use of it somehow..
Hey I just recently bought 09 TRD rock warrior. As for making sure the power stays on the pavement, drag slicks would work quite nicely.
Is there anything else I can do? Sorry for the last post. I would not have bought the flex fuel either had I known the SC sould not work. Sorry to hear about that Jim. I had one on my past silverado and ran it exclusively on E85 for several months of fillups and instead of mpg average driving, it dropped every fillup to only The cheaper E85 gas does not save you any money out of your pocket.
Sorry to get off the topic, rock on superchargers with your rocket engines — my 5. So I called the dealer where I purchased my truck and spoke with their head tech. I asked him the difference between the flex fuel engine and the normal 5. I also asked him why the TRD supercharger wouldnt work with the flex fuel. He said the difference between the flex fuel engines was non other than the injectors and hoses.
He could not give me an answer as to why it wouldnt work and said he would call me back. Well I got a call from him today. It seems the flex fuel engines with the supercharger installed in their tests were not passing emissions test. But he could not tell me why. I am thinking there is a larger difference between these engines then the hoses and injectors. I dont have any proof and if anyone has any input I am open ears.
I would never buy a tundra with E85 flexfuel option. Like I said, it does not pay and is worse for the engine as a whole and probably cannot get a supercharger for all you speed guys. I also have been doing some reading and the E85 flexfuel engines require or recommend oil changes every miles instead of the 5K recommended oil changes.
I just hope not too many tundra new models have the flexfuel option. I would be more then happy give up my flex fuel option and change out the injectors and fuel pump if it ment I would get a supercharger. If I wanted a car with good on fuel economy I would gotten a smart car. I hope Toyota can resolve this problem or at least offer the option for flex fuel owners to convert over so we can use the supercharger.
I will buy a 5. Does that hold true for the 77 as well? Tex — My opinion? First, the TBS is a gimmick. Not worth the funds. As for the rest, not a bad list. I think the headers are a great investment if you plan to add the supercharger. I like the life time filter never needs replacement, just wash it out in mild detergent and let air dry.
I suppose that you could make the aFe unit work, but the system is designed for the TRD supplied parts. I have an 08 sc tundra and love it! I am planning to get a , is the supercharger available for that truck? Mickey — That was an un-paid advertisement. The person that runs that site also runs a Tundra parts site.
I havent picked truck up yet do to ordering 22 inch wheels with nitto grappler tires The dealership has been excellent in both sales and service, spending all that money there probably helped also lol Will let you know what i think about it by monday, hopefully. Jeff — So, so jealous. Good for you man.
Send me as many pics as you can and it will be the first Tundra we feature. TRD package with supercharger. As for the truck, you can configure it on Toyota. The thing is retarded fast!!! Had it to mph in 4th gear at around rpms. I slowed down because of a turn. Highly recommend it if you can afford it. Am going to put on exhaust this next week. That should answer issues about the tranny. I have an 08 tundra 5. How can I get that back? Jason, any thoughts?
Scott — Two thoughts: 1 How much is a lot? I bought an 08 tundra a year and a half ago and when I punch the gas it hesitates for a couple seconds then goes and when im on the freeway and want to pass it revs up high but doesnt shift unless i let off a bit and then it shifts.
Other times when i floor it it has great response. I read another guy had this problem but his was a SC related problem, should I take mine in? A little clog in either would explain the slight loss in performance. Is there one better, who is it and why? Paul — The Unichip, as far as I know, is the only game in town for the Tundra. You can have Unichip tune it for your year, specific model, as well as any mods you add.
Adam — Did you buy the CAI from the dealership? If so, maybe they can take the parts back for a credit. Adam — Great! Do you want to shoot some video of you running the truck? Hey guys, just had a few? I plan on getting a tundra next year after I get back from good ol afganistan. I like but is the kit for all yrs? Based on that, your best run was good. The launch is the trick — a good launch can save a lot of time. All they sell here are FFV.
Is it just the fuel type that keeps these from working? If I just ran 91 Oct and not E85, would it be alright? Any way to run the supercharger on the Flex Fuel version? Anybody done it? Will follow up on the install when the SC gets here. Please let us know how everything goes. I have a 08 tundra ext. Looking forward to buying a regular cab tundra with TRD off road.
Would a unichip help and long tube headers with a magnaflow exhaust? Can anyone please help me on this? I live in Canada and I hear there maybe a problem with the cold weather, can you explain the problem and the solution thanks. If you live far enough North, it might not make sense. I have a tundra 5. I just bought a Tundra 5. I had a tundra 4. LOL The 4. Dealership had my Tundra for 2 days and had all the supercharger components installed, but the tech could not get the ecu reflash to work.
I have to wait till October for the new software to be developed as Toyota Canada figures the software should be available by then. Has anyone installed a charger on a ? This sucks as I was expecting to get the truck back tomorrow with a leveling kit and charger installed. Kind of bummed out of this situation as i paid for the charger up front already. Will be able to get a refund but my wife wants me to just forget about the charger…should I wait or should I just get other things such as some KMC wheels, 33 inch tires, cold air intake, etc?
Do not want an exhaust as my wife has hated the drone from my previous vehicles. What else is there I can do? Thinking of bushwhacker flares though. Will update you guys regarding the charger situation after I pick up the truck as the charger should be removed by tomorrow. Also, is there a difference between the SC flash between the Canadian and American ecru programs? Maybe I need to talk to another dealership on an install as this is only the second sc they have done at this dealership and they said another dealership was having trouble recently with the software as well and had to remove the sc after installing it completely was Toyota Canadas response.
Let us know how it goes, and sorry you have to go through this in the first place. I like your idea of talking to another dealership — maybe call someone at TRDSparks. They sell a lot of superchargers and might have a better answer.
Picked up my truck today but the tech who worked on my vehicle was not working today. Decided to wait till October to put on the SC. Apparently the software updates for Toyota Canada is currently different than the American software and it will take time for Toyota Canada to okay the update for the SC and the expected okay will happen before the end of October. I do not see why they would be blowing smoke up my butt and lose the sale of a SC.
It is from Montana and I am bringing it to eastern Canada. What programming could be different. I know my Tundra sure hauls the mail. Its cold in northern Montana too, so I would think the programing would be the same. I am very confused. Enjoy your rocket sled! Will the transfer case and front CV shafts take the abuse of the supercharged power?
And if a CV shaft broke would it be covered under the power train warranty? It is only a 1 year warranty on the charger if it is installed by someone other than Toyota. The remaining factory powertrain warranty should cover any transfer case and CV parts. As for whether or not the truck can handle the power, absolutely. It was specifically designed with this modification in mind. But where in Canada? As for changing your exhaust I strongly suggest the flowmaster dual out kit.
It sounds great under acceleration with the windows down, Is fairly quiet windows up, and has no drone during highway driving. Basically it sounds good outside the truck and is still quiet enough in the cab. Perfect balance. But if the t-case is warrantied why not find out. You could make up alot of time out of the hole. The 60ft time would be awesome.
I bet it would shave if not a whole but at least half a second off the quarter mile time from a 2wd version. And secondly I would be running slicks….. Crazy, but true:. My suggestion would be to never do something that might damage your truck on purpose because Toyota might find out. Forgot I mentioned it to you. Hi guys, for info my 07 tundra ent. When PickupTrucks. Anyone have any problems with the check engine light coming on after hard acceleration with traction control off.
Loss of power, vibration etc. Shut vehicle off and check engine light went away. Should I have dealer check if a code was set? Will there ever make a TRD supercharger for a 5. Just curious. Dear Toyota salesmen, Your a liar, You didnt know what you were talking about when you handed me the brochure for the TRD supercharger for the Tundra with the flex fuel motor.
Does anybody know of another way to get any extra horsepower besides air intakes and exhaust? For you guys thinking about getting a super charger on a flex fuel…. Thanks again you dumb shit salesman!!
Computers save codes even after the problem is fixed, until the memory is cleared by the diagnostic tool. In ref. I have another question maybe someone can answer. Paul — Glad to hear that the dealer is aware of the code. It runs smooth and virtually sounds and drives like stock except the tranny holds gears a little longer in the D mode and a bit of the whine from the SC can be heard. Definitely alot easier to pass on the highway and well worth the wait.
FutureOwner — It depends on the truck. Some guys on the other forums are running I recently purchased a Tundra Crewmax with the 5. Jsson: I am thinking of putting a superchrger on my Tundra and realistically what can I expect on my fuel mileage and increase or decrease driving it at 60?
Also I live in a cold climaate and what effect will that have on my engine realistically. Thanks: TAB. The other thing to remember is that, if the Unichip tuner were to set a check engine light, etc.
Any updates on reflash for supercharger?? Im dieing to install one on my rock warrior. Recently purchased an 07 and am loving it. One beef however…. In all my years of working on cars and trucks both light and heavy I cannot recall ever seeing a vehicle that tough to change the oil in.
Took and hour just to find the oil filter. DB — I hear that. Geterdone — If you add a single tanke of 89 octane, nothing bad will happen. The engine computer will detect the difference. However, if you feed a supercharged Tundra a steady diet of 89 octane fuel you could eventually cause engine damage due to pre-detonation. My Tundra produced a correct HP and around torque. Cant wait to run at LV Speedway June 22nd.
Borla exhaust, cat backs, but no headers, yet. I feel the Borla must of raised the HP over what is expected via Toyota info. But torque was down but thats ok this smooth power is a blast! Havent had any races yet but a newer Duramax with chip and exhaust wants to run me but only offered a C note.
I said make it 5 bills and will run…. So, I had a supercharger installed on my new tundra miles. The tech said it was ready to go but when he tried to start it, it backfired and fouled all the plugs. Last I heard they were removing the entire engine to figure out what happened.
