this is different, theres a big debate on www.texasracingscene.com whether it's worth it or not. some guy has it done to his LS1 F-body.

there ya go

It costs the same as the TRD supercharger. By the looks of it...I would go with the supercharger. It looks like it is kind of pieced together. Also, their dyno run shows the Tundra 4.7 putting out 136 Hp at 4285 rpms. There couldn't possible be that much drivetrain loss could there? With the Turbo it puts out 192 hp at 4900 rpms. 0-60 in stock form is 12 seconds...you gotta be kidding me.

its not even on a real dyno, performance was measured with a G-tech performance meter, and we know how accurate those can be

 

[wes 03]

ya, after really researching it, when it comes time for me to get a turbo, if that is ever, i will get a custom install. that kit is not a kit taht i would use and trust.

but i really dont think ill need one, i think my tundra can tow pretty well stock

Turbocharged with a 10.49 in the 1/8 and 16.06 in the 1/4?!?!?!

I'll raise the BS flag on these guys! That's slower than my stock truck!

i bought one

Hey I bought one of these kits and installed it myself. I upgraded to a Garret gt35R TURBO . I really dont know how much power I am Making but I can beat c5 corvettes up to 100 mph after that I hit my governor. I too have a g-tech and my numbers were very different. 0-60 was 5.1 seconds and 1/4 mile was 13.2 at 105. When i get some $ i wil have it dynoed. my truck is stock everywhere else. I do all of this with only 4psi of boost. I plan to go to 8 psi but only after I get some more mods. for now I am glad i dint buy the TRD. I have heard lots of problems . This kit only voids my intake and exhaust warrenty I already took it by my dealership and asked , since there are no mods to the engine physically the muffler and the air box is all you have to remove. This is a darn good deal. Speak to Rick at sts and he will send you to a local dealer for a lower price . I paid 3600 fo mine plus I upgraded to the gt35r for only 300 buck more. I wll try to post pics once I learn . :tu: :tu:

4 psi and you can hang with vettes when a TRD S/C at 6 psi wont come close

Email your pics to [email protected] and I'll post 'em up for you

Pretty outragous claims....pics would be decent.

More Info

Hi,
I.m new to this site. I've been testing trucks for the past two months, Nissan, Ford and today the Tundra. I thought all of them had something lacking in the power department. I did however like the Tundra. I understand there is a Supercharger and a Turbo for it? I'm not much of a MOD guy, just looking for something to give it some decent acceleration. I would prefer to keep it all under warranty and not pay a whole lot ($2-3,000). CXan someone educate me on the basics of theses two options?

 

[DevinSixtySeven]

the all-around best place to check that stuff out in general is www.howstuffworks.com , no kidding, i'm completely serious. for specific information related to tundras, there's only the one post (below) regarding a turbo installed on a tundra here...but lots of threads on the TRD supercharger, just search for "supercharger".

for what it sounds like you're after tho, look in to headers first...

Pics would be great. Could you describe the difficulty of the install and the tools needed?

 

[maracucho]

no not really

4 psi and you can hang with vettes when a TRD S/C at 6 psi wont come close

6psi from a supercharger is very different than let say for example a garret gt35r turbo. The trd supercharger @ 6 psi flows max 450 cfm when a gt35 r flows 950 cfm. the trd supercharger cant support 800 hp the gt35r can. this is why I upgraded. The turbo uses waste gases for driving the impeller and the trd uses parasitic energy ( belts). so when you get 6 psi from the trd you actually took power away from your truck to get power lets say 45 % over stock,turbos like a big gt35r dont steel power they scavenge it from wasted exhaust and in return give power like 80% over stock. the boost is much cooler and more dense than the supercharger, which actually overheats the air with no way to cool it. I have video of the vette race. i will post it soon. I din't beat him but he could not pull away from me. anyone in houston can email me and i will let them see the kit. the install took me about 9 hours because i refuse to follow directions but if you read the color picture manual it should take you no longer than 6 hours. draw back to the kit is you will love it so much that you wont be able to keep your foot off the gas . otherwise i have seen better gas milage on the hwy when not racing.

Hard for normal engines to breath at 4300 ft

Those G-tech performance charts at STS showing before & after Turbo are telling an important story. Normally aspirated engines have a hard time "breathing" at 4,300 ft elevation. UTAH is where STS offices are, so of course they offer 0-60 MPH and HP / TORQUE charts for that altitude.

The charts show a 36% increase in peak torque, very nice. A 20% reduction in 0-60 MPH elapsed time.

That same Turbo truck from the charts will kick serious butt at sea level, when it has relatively dense air to work with (= bigger boost). Yes, it will need some serious octane gas to do it, but that goes for any hi-perf engine. So think about this before raising the BS flag very high. I think this turbo stuff is for real, and a great alternate (or addition) to other hi-perf mods. For now I am waiting for my S&S Headers to arrive (2 more weeks?).

point made, id watch your drive line though if you havent already, if your gtech is remotely accurate, youre making 350-380 to the ground as a guesstimate. doubling your boost will make 400+ and i dont know if the stock driveline can handle the abuse. also how do you pass emissions??
