Tomorrow I start the install of my Supercharger and I have spent hours searching this site for info that may help.I'm installing it myself warranty isnt a issue with me.I have a injen cai intake on car already.I have read a few reports from 07 that said dont run it.gjpjr84 has claimed there has been an update to the TRD reflash and his car seems to pull better now.Since then a few have posted no problems with a cai and 9.5 lbs pully.Just wanted to actually hear from everyone that has this set up,how long they have had it and any problems.Bearing and seal problems we all know about not worried about that i'll replace them when the time comes.Thanks.

 

Running a supercharger with a CAI makes the engine run too lean to be safe. You should invest in a piggyback to the ECU if you wish to run the CAI with the s/c in order to tune it properly.

 

yeah theres another post just like this, and everyone says it will make you run lean, so i wouldnt do it lol

 

only a select few have the CAI with the S/C. I know RS1 (or something like that) has the CAI, jjos1 used to have the CAI, but now he has a turbo. Kikcaffine has a short ram style on his.

If you are gonna do it, get a A/F gauge to monitor your AFR's. There is nothing worse than having a blown engine because you didn't know you were running lean. That's what I'm waiting for before I install my intake.

 

Thanks for info.I'm ahead of you alredy have a wideband installing the same time as supercharger.

 

I decided to go with the stock modified air box.My injen is already out and on the bench rather be safe than sorry.I'll probably get a high performance air filter to put in it.

 

yeah kids.. decided id get on in this one.. sorry for the bad pix, but my hood was blocking all my light in the garage







bam! worlds most COMPLETE TRD setup period. LSD + clutch, S/C, rims, full suspension, trd intake+ exhaust, yada yada yada.. you name it, its on it.

 

wow! looks really really good.

 

God I want that engine cover!

 

nice V twin! thats a sweet bike for track. super smooth.

 

What I dont really understand is how the xB2 has them on and we can't. there new TRD ECU Flash must compensate for the extra A/F Ratio.

 

Thanks for the compliments!

 

Yet to this day NO ONE has proof that the intake makes your car run lean. I ran a CAI on my supercharger along time and had 0 problems.

 

i also have a short ram on my supercharger . runs fine

 

Exactly. Could someone explain to me how a cold air intake can make the car run lean?

If this was true, a completely stock tC with a CAI should run lean too right?

 

I've made several posts in several threads for over a year about my issues.

 

what happened. give me a summary

there's a couple other threads out there somewhere.

 

kk thanks.

so bascially its almost 50/50

 

Personally, I've only heard about 2 or 3 other people with similar issues, but I think it's with the way the MMW/Weapon-R s/c Intake is designed. Best bet is to get a wideband AFR gauge to monitor things if you really want to use an aftermarket intake.
