06 trd supercharger, changed s/c pulley to nst 9.5 and zpi crank pulley, have a
noise in supercharger at 8000 miles and is not covered because of changing the
pulley (plastic tamper cap). Its still running just noisy at low rpm,s

 

^^^from what it sounds, the longer you run it like that the more expensive it will be to fix, low RPM or not.

 

I'm most likely going to have ProMotion Tuning put the supercharger pulley on since James had a Mercury Cougar with similar Vortech supercharger. He's pretty experienced with those type of systems.

I've had my supercharger for just over a year and have over 30k miles on the ODO, over 15k supercharged and still no problems.

 

did a dealership install yours?
if so how much was it total?

 

Im not real happy with mine,
The power upgrade is ok but really gets good with the bpv and mmw header, now tommorow I am putting on NST crank and NST s/c pulleys on. If I can get that dang bolt off!!!!!!!!!! Screw it I am going to call a shop, I have no impact tools.
I also got my header coated by jet-hot with their best coat 2000.

My s/c is noisy as hell; I even went to full synthetic 10w30,
Also my car never starts on the first try ____es me off. and now I got all this crap on ther I cant just go to dealer, they still have my damn stock injectors, everytime i call they say we will call back and then they never do.

 

Just curious what your mileage is? I am getting close to 14k, and still no problems.

 

my mileage on my car is around 20000; ive had the s/c probably about 2-3000 miles. sometimes its loud and sometimes its not that loud, still works good though, on the starting I ordered the denso iridium Ik24. hope they help me. Its not all that bad; its just annoying to me.

 

I've been reading this thread and many others but I am a little confused...

I have little interest in the trd S/C for very far away future plans.

Approximately, what is the most hp an auto tC can achieve while STAYING under Toyota's warranty which is I think up to 60k miles.

A 25% increase doesn't look like that much of an increase for $3k+. or is it? But then that also includes the warranty...

So confusing... i'll probably just end up staying stock. It's not like I race too much (if any) anyways.

 

I had a friend who is a mechanic at the toyota delership in Springfield IL. and they did it for free because I was the 1st S/C they put on a TC all I had to pay for was the S/C

 

yeah im wondering that too?...also do you think having a supercharger on a automatic 07 TC do any good?

 

ive got 30,000 miles on mine, had it installed with an alphawerks header(mucho heat) and the only prob ive had so far is a busted mount(installer's fault, warrenty covered). i love it, but after saying this it's prolly gonna explode or something tomarrow. o, im runnin 9.5psi too

 

The thing that scares me is what will happen when the warranty runs out. It's very pricy to fix or replace the s/c, seeing how you have to swap the entire main essembly for any little problem with the housing.

 

actually not really anymore, we know most if not all the part numbers and such to get replacement parts and, in some cases, better replacement parts.

 

i know its not needed with the s/c, but if they had made the s/c to work with the TRD cai, i would get it. I like my cai a lot lol.

 

Wow, you're saying your intake is what's stopping you from going F/I.... That's a lot of love.

 

ya well i like the under hood "bling" know what i mean?

getting the s/c id have to get the fugly stock airbox, then your ar basically looks stock even tho u got a s/c

 

this supercharger looks like it has some kind of adaption for a cai or is it just me??

 

It's an Injen, the good thing about that one and the K&N is location of the sensor is out of the way of any cut needed to conect it to the s/c hose.

 

guess mines too close, it would look awsome tho imo

 

Trust me, when I had the s/c, I was looking for some bling with a CAI..... You know, a s/c looks a lot for prettier under the hood then any intake will, just my opinion
