Haters gonna hate
Most of the people I talk to seem pretty cool about it. Sport trucks will always get a bit of flak.- Phracker

Junkyard supercharged
Foam just fell off when I pulled the intercooler. It's been re-attached. Pulled the valve covers off and made sure that I had the timing right. Cleaned all gasket mounting surfaces and began to put everything back on. Did another compression test and got 182.5, 185 x4 and 190psi. My rings are...- Phracker

Junkyard supercharged
Sorry about the oil on the lens. I'd say a good 1/2 oz of oil was splashed about inside and in the intercooler fins. Ultrasonic cleaner pulled a noticeable amount of debris from the PCV valve. The hose is also fairly dry and has noticeable cracks on one end.- Phracker

Junkyard supercharged
Cylinder 2 has been running hot, but unsure if this was the case before the SC was installed. I've regapped my plugs to 0.030 and swapped the coils around in hopes that this would solve the issue. It's been 1500km since then and I'm still getting misfire codes. Pulled the SC off this week to...- Phracker

ACDelco or...RedLine MT
The major difference between GL-5 & GL-4 is the addition of EP additives. It's a double edge sword as I spoke to my Amsoil dealer and realized why my choice of fluid is a result of the last owner. Amsoil datasheet discloses that severe gear is a GL-5 lubricant. If your syncros are not shot...- Phracker

ACDelco or...RedLine MT
I had a nagging transmission when I first bought my Tacoma. With only 40K miles on it, I was surprised that the 2nd and 5th syncro had already started to fail. The truck was running Royal Purple and had a surprising amount wear suspended in the fluid when it was drained (Similar to 70's...- Phracker

XRU's Newest Boosted XR
Oil pressure is gold. Intercooler temp sounds interesting, but I think an E.G.T. would be more useful between the two. Fuel pressure might be another one to consider.- Phracker

XRU's Newest Boosted XR
Not sure if this helps, I see 10.25 WOT and 14.7 cruising. It's the Ucon and not the TRD reflash though.- Phracker

Junkyard supercharged
Have not done the fuel pump upgrade yet, but it is on the list. I know the smaller pulley will stress the system if it gets bolted on.- Phracker

Junkyard supercharged
Done! Supercharger is on the truck and I only had to build one part. I had essentially two fit kits, so I sold the complete kit and then used the money towards a tensioner bracket. The 2nd fit kit was just missing the hood support, so I crafted one out of 1/2" solid bar and an old power...- Phracker

Magnuson Super Charger?
Pulley is the same as the TRD. It's a Eaton MP90supercharger just with a special housing. The price is a bit surprising considering everything is the same as before. URD keeps products up to date, I think that's a sign of a good company.- Phracker

Boosting 2016 Tacoma ?
Doubtful, I think TRD allowing Magnuson to sell the kit under their name says it all. Diesels will make a comeback. As the industry standard changes to the new systems, the prices will begin to stabilize. The engine is the workhorse from buses to freight trucks, eventually the systems will...- Phracker

Wierd noise under cab
Maybe a bolt is not completely seated on the crossmember or transmission mount. Do you get just noise or a ton of vibration as well?- Phracker

Bolt ons
The whole mixing fuel for multi-point fuel injection is no better than electric superchargers or magnets on your fuel lines (anybody remember that gimmick?). Sorry, should have been more clear in my post. My thoughts were that by installing a spacer you are changing the length on your intake...- Phracker

Bolt ons
If the spacer is downstream of the throttlebody, the principle is the same. Porsche VairoRam is a good example of extending the length after the throttle body to a shared section (individual intake runners remain constant) can increase low end. The only extra the Germans do is add additional...- Phracker

Bolt ons
Shouldn't a longer intake result in shifting the torque curve toward the low end? You're increasing the runner length which should decrease the frequency of the pulses bouncing off the throttle body and returning back to the intake valves. Longer runners = better low end Shorter runners =...- Phracker
