TRD supercharger for the 04 DC

[JDMRICE]

Hi,

I've done some search on the discussion forum trying to find out if the TRD supercharger is available for the 04 DC...
here is what I found out..
previous - 02 supercharger is different than 03 because injectors and computers are different..
however, I don't know if the 03 supercharger will fit the 04.. (I saw one auction on ebay selling the 03 supercharger and in the description, it stated that it won't work on the 04 model ??? )

anyways, I am just trying to clear things up and see if you guys have any updated info on this matter..
if you guys can provide a place to purchase or the part # will be great..

thanks again

Richard

I'm positive there's an S/C for the 04'. Trailer Boats magazine tested a supercharged (dealer installed) Double Cab in the Feb. 2004 issue.

You are correct, a 2003 doesn't fit on a 2004. I believe the last three #'s for the D/C 2004 kit is 622. My dealer made that mistake and I had to wait an extra week for the correct unit to be shipped from California. It almost killed me to wait but boy was it worth the wait. Between the S/C, the headers, and the dual exhaust (all TRD) this thing is a missle, What a hoot to drive. Take the plunge! Mike

thank you guys for clear things up...

but do you guys know what's the difference?..I am just curious...because I thought it's suppose to be the same motor..?? why make difference s/c kit??

and Michael, what kind of header and exhaust do you have?...thanks

Richard

The difference from year to year is the fuel mapping...The exhaust emmisions get stricter. Also there are differences in the connectors that they use between componentry. I have a 2000 LTD, and the charger I got was for the 2003. They are swapping out the harware,Piggyback ECU and a few other things that I'm not up on.The Tech at TRD told me each kit is specific to the year of truck.2000-2002 are the same, and the 2003 and 2004 each have thier own specific part#

My system is TRD front to back. TRD headers and TRD dual exhaust. I'm not sure what the difference between the two S/C's are but they had the 2003 bolted on to my engine and when they went to plug in electrical connections they realized they had a problem, My service manager said that TRD changes the pin locations in the connections just about every year. He said that if he took the time he could splice it together but he decided to do the right thing. I hope this helps to answer your question. Mike

There is no difference in the s/c itself...but the piggy back ECU and how it's programmed makes the thing fast or a slug....depending on the fuel air ratio's and shift points. They have been detuning them since they first came out. It's as if the early ones came with more aggressive mapping, then they realized that the things were too fast.

[JDMRICE]

too fast huh...isn't that the point of getting the s/c ??

anyways..it's a fact that throwing a s/c without changing the injectors and maps is kinda dangerous...and we only have 91 octant...

let's throw in some 100 ot. race fuel and turn up the boost

I have been on the fence about getting a supercharger rolled into the cost of my new 2004 Tundra DC SR5 4Wd. I plan on keeping the truck for around seven years and I am worried about the life of the Supercharger. Do you guys think the Supercharger/Engine will be good for 175,000 miles. Also, will the system hold quality as far as resale. Just wondering. I think adding a supercharger to the 2004 DC Tundra will make it one bad a$$ truck from a H.P. and a towing standpoint. Not to mention, you will be able to get a Unichip Plug N Play to add even more H.P. and torque here in the near future.

i must vent and this seems like a good thread to do it on. what in the F#!K is wrong with trd ? i mean there is no positive info anywhere on there products and there applications - dont leave me web page links showing trd products cause ive seen them all - its just that every trd page is diffrent and never has up to date info on them - ever try to buy level 2 trd parts ? haaaaa dont even try to buy level 3 trd sport parts from japan on line its a JOKE!
befor i bought my 03 tundra i researched for 2 years, yes 2 years ! , on what vehicle to buy keeping it mostly stock and having the fastest 4x4 that was still reliable daily driver. i looked at sti's and evo's and settled on the tundra mostly because it was alot safer in case of a wreck ( full frame ) .. guess i should have researched more because i missed how much of a joke TRD is and how toyota dealerships (99% of them) are complete a$$holes to the public/customers due to what i see as product sells itself so we (sales/service) can be lazy,ignorant,waste of human life, pos !
i went to a Mitsh. dealer looking at an evo and the sales guy told me everything about the car - im talking down to the lobe of the camshaft- he also stated 2 of there service guys drag built up evos and hold state record for 1/4 mile..... ever find a toyota dealer like that ? for gods sake my toyota dealer does not even know what trd makes... they need to look up parts and make phone calls for a freakin trd oil filter application ! im so sick of toyota and trd that i made them purchase there 7yr./100,000 mi. warr. back from me at full price. guess what - i got my $1100.00 check in the mail after fighting with them and now im still fighting with my dealer to pay me back my $70.00 of tax i paid for the warr. ! go to a ford svt site or a subaru sti/wrx site or any other performance site and compare it with TRD its sad.
most of you already know all about what im saying here and i think if we have 20,000+ members in this club we should ban together and make a statement that we want to see improvment on the whole from toyota and trd because i know they lost a customer with me unless serious changes are made- what a joke ! oh ya one more rant - go to toyotas web site and try to build your own tundra haaaaaaaaaaaaaa i thought japan new how to build things better than usa- try building a corp. wab page that works to start Toyota !

Wow man tell us what you you really think!

I hate to say it but you are right on some points . My dealer has no clue about this truck. I have to tell them what to do. Of course my dealer doesn't know any thing about TRD, I've bought more stuff from Carsons. As far as TRD web site you are absolutly right , I have no clue what they really sell. I'm not any computer genuis but I can find my way around. But due to the poor web sites I spent an hour yesterday trying to find a TRD drop in air filter for my 4runner without luck. They are missing out on a lot of business, oh well their loss

I'm up that way all time snowboarding. I would love to actually see a supercharger in person . Maybe I'll get talked into buying one
If I knew I could have had it installed new and financed I'd have got it without hesitation . Matt

Apparently the 2004 V8 S/C has come down in price. I spoke to a dealer in Edmonton today and was told it was a few thousand Canadian less in cost. Get this....the v8 charger(for my 2000) is $9200.00 plus 7% GST plus install plus boost guage. The install is 8 hours at dealer shop rate of 86.00/hr.... Total cost out the door for my 2000 would have been 10,800.00 Canadian. For the 2004, they said a few grand less. Thank god I found one online....
