It is true if you install the TRD Supercharger you cannot have an aftermarket intake?

 

For example the Weapon R Intake

 

Yup! The TRD Supercharger will come with it's own intake.

 

if i have installed already the weapon r, i need to put again the OEM air box?

 

can somebody explain me why? i will be a step back, right?

 

Cuz thats where the sc goes. U can resell ur intake anyway. Everyone wants it.

 

put in basic terms, not necessarily a very technical explanation... the supercharger is basically a big pump that will increase the force of air entering the engine. for this reason, the typical cold air, or other intakes are not really necessary, nor will the fit, since the supercharger will change the intake path. supercharger and turbo kits usually come with their own intakes designed for those applications. this will probably be the case with the TRD supercharger.

 

Keep the CAI! It can be adapted with minor modification to the intake pipe with a 90 degree coupler or two, and will prove useful. The supercharger isn't fed off hot gases like a turbo, so the cooler the air going to the blower, the cooler the air coming out! Another upgrade that can be added is the water to air intercooler like the ones the Vortech kits come with.

 

yeah man... vortec has some pretty vicious intercoolers that seem to gain a real decent amount of horsepower, they also had a few different types of bov that i saw on the site.
