TRD s/c install ??
TRD s/c install ??
I got a 2010 tc just got the TRD s/c and was going to attempt the install with t gf dad and wanted some info on things I might run into along the way or any pointers from experienced people.
When changing fuel injectors do I need anything beside the injector?
Removing the oil pan whats the easest way to go about it
what size belt do i need for the stock s/c pulley?
Thanks for any help you

only way to check is to open em up but if they were replaced with the same exact brand then hard to tell. If they were the rebuild kit from kik then they will look differ.
If there isn't a reciept from the purchase/install of them....I would probably replace them with ceramic bearings just to be safe. If they go out on you...well...it will be pretty inconvenient.
Just my .02, but I'm a big "preventative maintenance" guy.
Best of luck with the install!

Make sure you have a fuel line removal tool. You can get it at most auto parts stores. As for the bearings, receipts are about all you can go by if they are oem spec bearings. If they are ceramic they would look different like someone already mentioned.
Also, don't forget to shim the s/c drive pulley so that the belt sits evenly on the idler pulleys.

It's really easy to do if you take your time and not rush it and have all the tools needed Me and my friend installed it in 4 hours. The instructions make you jump around to different things it gets kinda confusing Studying it will help
Just change the fuel injectors make sure the rings are good.
Oil pan you'll need a new gasket and it's easy to take off with a good flat head Screw driver or any tool that u can get in there
And don't drive it with out a flashed ecu if you dont have one make sure you check with a dealer near u. I seen some of your threads you said you were in brocton area?? Check Copland Toyota last time I called they said no to me they couldn't do it. So I had to get a used flashed ecu...but there is one that still does it it's far Thoo Bristol Toyota scion.
Just letting you know
Check your bearings be4 hand just incase I put mine in trusting the person that sold it to me and now I hear a bearing jumping around inside my blower..and I only put 500 miles
And gompka has the upgraded shafts I think he said this was his last group buy I would pick one up cuz if your shaft fails it's going to cost alot I already checked a couple of shops.
Just my 2 cents.
If you want to see how it's set up in person I can show you mine maybe it will help u out.or give you an idea
I'm in newbedford
Good luck.

I used both gasket and sealant my gasket came with the sealant so I just added it just incase lol.
And the tool is for the fuel line it's good to have. I didn't use one tho I don't have one I installed mine real late. When I realized I needed it lol.
I used 2 flat head screwdrivers and it came off nice. Got to becarefull when doing it with screwdrivers thoo

Ight So I got to get the gasket and sealant, fuel tool not mandatory but helpful. Did you have to drain the coolant to change the thermostat? I just bought a no name thermostat for 09 tC should fit 2010 you think?
Yea you need to drain the coolant be 4 u install the thermostat or install anything. drain it in a clean bucket so u can reuse it buy extra tho just incase you need it after the install and yea the thermostat should be good.
And change your oil and filter. What kinda oil u use now??
tool will probably be good for you and easier.
