I bought a used TRD Supercharger from a guy for $1500, and i am missing a few things. I wanted to know if the parts i am missing will cause any problems.
-I am missing the new crank pulley bolt (why do i need this is it stronger, b/c it cost about $170 from TRD) Can i use the OEM one, what problems will i encounter?
-Missing fuel line from TRD. Do i need this new line, or can i use the old one? what problems will i run into
-the small filter (trumpet) for the TRD airbox i am planning on using my Injen to modify it to use it instead. I have heard this will not really cause any air/fuel mixture problems.
-lastly i am using the NST pulley 9.5 with TRD reflash and it is an automatic, i already bought the Auto TRD fit kit for the tranny dipstick
Thanks for your help.

 

also does ARP make a crank bolt that i can use instead of the trd one? if so does anyone have a part #
Thanks

 

I have the bolt never been used jus spares i got with my trd setup. If u want it Ill let it go for $100 free shipping email me sophat211@netzero if u want to make it happen.

 

I have pix of it fresh out the bag that came with supercharger u have email i can send pix?

 

you dont need any of that EXCEPT YOU NEED THE TRD REFLASH call zpi

 

I just bought a s/c missing parts also, I got the thermostat fuel line and crank bolt from trdsparks for 172.50 shipped the crank bolt from them was 90. I am also cutting my injen cai to fit because I didnt get the stock airbox.

 

just to be sure, you guys are saying i dont really need the crank bolt or the fuel line? I can just use my stock ones and be ok?
Thanks!

 

I would get the crank bolt it maybe be alot but if it snaps off in the crank that 90 won't seem like very much. As for the fuel line I'm not sure if it would get in the way of the charge pipe. The TRD reflash in a must.

 

Did you get the pretapped oil pan for the supercharger?

 

id get all those things to be safe, im sure they include it for a reason. from my understanding, the trd crank bolt is stronger than stock. according to the trd install manual, youre supposed to replace the factory fuel supply hose with the trd one (see page 17, section 6a). the airbox is taken care of since youre going with a cai, but ive read your car does run leaner with it and if anything were to happen to your car with the s/c, they'll find any reason to not cover warranty repairs if its not 100% stock. better safe than sorry - or if you have the time, im sure you can always swap it out before going to the shop. i dont own a supercharger, so i could be wrong - im just speaking based on research. good luck.

 

Well if you see me post I blew my motor on 5/12 then you know cai and 9.5 pulley don't work I would get a wideband to keep an eye on things though.

 

ok guys here is what i am going to do. I am going to run the gates belt for the 9.5 NST pulley. Use the TRD airbox just in case i run lean with the CAI, trd reflash, trd injectros, use the trd pretapped oil pan, i am am missing a few things the spark plugs, and the thermostat. Does anyone know ngk plug part # i can use, the densos are discountinued. also anyone know a thermostat i can buy locally from autozone, i can buy? part number would be great. I am not going to use the crank bolt, nor the fuel line. Does anyone think this will be a problem?

 

just did some research, it seems everyone is using the ik24's for plugs on the s/c are these ok? They are pregapped right, so you just drop them in?
Also what thermostat should i use? or should i just order one from TRD?
Thanks

 

not sure about the thermostat but the trd one is 71°C (160°F). maybe you can find a similar one. like i said, id replace them with trd, but let me know how the car runs with the stock fuel line and crank bolt.

 

just get the plugs and thermostate from the dealer. make the car run right.

 

lol. what he said ^

cool sig too.

 

thx for this post all!

 

Got my Denso Iridiums today just waiting for the Gates belt

 

good to hear. this will probably be a dumb question, but im too lazy to search. can you briefly explain to me what a gates belt is? i know the s/c comes with a serpentine belt. is this a replacement for this? thanks in advance.

 

The Gates belt is just a better brand of belt than most others, it won't slip with the 9.5 lb pulley.
