How to Install TRD Supercharger on a Toyota Tundra (Part 1)

[VTECH671]

Wow, I can tell he'll be a good teacher.

[TheDwaZlote]

Is it possible to install it in Toyota LandCruiser 5.7 V8?

[FloridaSPL]

@TheDwaZlote

There isn't a kit specifically for it, but people have done it. I think the ECU is the issue.

[WHATTHECOOK1]

How much is that to install I have a

2009 tundra with the Trd package and hauling package also it's the 4 door im guessing crew cab i don't really no but I like the Supercharger I need to have it haha

[MrBwill808]

TRD fully copied URD's tacoma fuel upgrades lol

[ZImpresive]

Bet it gets terrible fuel economy, 550lbs of torque is impressive but same could be achieved with a Turbo Diesel Truck, Ford seems to get the message with their twin turbo V6 in their F-150's makes 420lbs of torque with regular unleaded fuel and 22mpg highway, hopely toyota considers a turbo truck.

[FloridaSPL]

@ZImpresive

Apples to Oranges my friend. However, most owners report the same or better mpg with the supercharger from the rated 18mpg.

[ZImpresive]

@FloridaSPL A turbo seems a better option, since it works from the exuast fumes and not from the cranckshaft, it recycles energy that be otherwise be lost. Only if there was somekind of clutch system on the supercharger do it'd only used when needed.

[artcam1]

@FloridaSPL Right you are. Not to mention diesels polute so much more. They are better than the older ones yes, but still not as clean as a gas engine. Not to mention the price of diesel is way more! 

[KyleCook6]

@artcam1 Diesels actually run cleaner than gas. Diesels to not pollute like gas does.

[artcam1]

@KyleCook6 Your full of diesel soot! Gas is always cleaner than diesel. Do some research. Even the cleanest diesels require urea (urine) injection just so that they can pass emissions. Gas engines do not need them.

If you not wash your car or truck for 2 weeks you see the black soot on the back.

[MySamisbest]

does the supercharger give the vehicle a higher tow capacity? Can I put it on a Chevrolet Suburban?

[FloridaSPL]

@MySamisbest

No and no.

[MySamisbest]

@FloridaSPL O crap what kind of SUV can I put it on? Can I even put it on a SUV?

[FloridaSPL]

@MySamisbest

This is a Toyota TRD supercharger built for Toyota vehicles. As the video description mentions, it can be installed on a Toyota Sequoia (which is a large SUV).

[manusreekumar1]

where can i get a super charger /turbo charger for my 1992 model ford laser gl 1.3 fi in india

[NOTy0urPUPPET]

hey guys, my tundra surges while Im driving and toyota says its normal, wtf??? Is there a fix for this? Im afraid it will cause me too have an accident and Im afraid too drive it. Any help PLEASE

[FloridaSPL]

@NOTy0urPUPPET

We're sorry to hear about the problems you're having. We can't diagnose your issue on the computer. We recommend that you take your vehicle to a different dealer and get the problem fixed soon.

[ProudfootHobbit]

LoL I'm waiting to see the next vid when he fits a Honda jet engine to the back of a Civic. That' oughta be good..... GET 'ER DONE!

[MrFniazi41]

Can I Install in Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8 vvt-i Pakistan Made

[FloridaSPL]

@MrFniazi41

No. However TRD may make another supercharger for that motor. Do some searching on the TRD website.

[FloridaSPL]

@bohemiachris

No. The 2000 Land Cruiser utilizes the 4.7 liter V8 (2UZ-FE) but this charger is for the 5.7 liter V8 (3UR-FE.)

[raheemcharles]

can u tell me where i can get a cheap turbo kit that can work on a nissan sunny b13

[FloridaSPL]

@raheemcharles

No idea. You'll have to do some research on the internet. Maybe try a Niassan web forum. 

[mapleleaf123456789]

me and my bud wanna fit one of these to my '99 chrysler lhs for the hell of it. Can this be done?

[FloridaSPL]

@mapleleaf123456789

Anything is possible. But if you do it, we want to see a video!

[superhawkn]

shiat this guy is good let him work my nissan

[RocknRollCoal]

What happens in you dont run 91 octane, and you run say 87 or 89? Please answer

[FloridaSPL]

@RocknRollCoal

The vehicle's engine computer will adjust the timing and injector pulse to run, but at a loss of fuel mileage and horsepower. Over a long period of time, engine damage may result.

[ProudfootHobbit]

@RocknRollCoal "Detonation city" I would assume. The only difference in a higher octane makes is that the fuel is won't ignite so easily until it's the right time, it's additives in the gasoline to prevent engine knock or worse, that's all.

[Jeremandre]

Will this work on my Impala SS ?

[FloridaSPL]

@Jeremandre

Yes. But you'll have a hell of a time fitting it.

[SuperXxkiller45]

when i say some i mean a tiny portion of the engines power

[SuperXxkiller45]

thing is about all superchargers is that all superchargers use some of the of the engines power to drive itself

[getsugatenshou1993]

can i install TRD super charge on a land cruiser ?

[FloridaSPL]

@getsugatenshou1993

That's already been answered a few times in the comments. Please browse through them.

[strumem90]

Out if curiosity, I've installed the TRD charger on my '07 CM and I still off road with the truck.....if I off road my truck, would the TRD Rear Sway Bar kit give me less wheel travel or??? Just trying to see if it might not be worth my effort lol. Thanks!

[FloridaSPL]

@strumem90

Most likely yes. But if you disconnect your swaybar end-links when you're off-road then you will have no loss of suspension travel. The TRD sway bar is designed to make your truck handle better on asphalt, not in the mud.

[justinchaffin1013]

could you do a video on how to put a bolt on super charger not that big of a 1

[Jayrod4113]

i thought the truck was huge but your just small lol

[faisalabulaziz1]

what about ignition retard ?

and fuel inrichment to compensate for the new Air to fuel ratio ?

what about the maf sensor ,,,is it made to see boost ?

[FloridaSPL]

@faisalabulaziz1

The flash from Toyota takes care of all of this. Of course, you can't customize it though. There are companies who will reflash your ecm if you send it to them.

[xtremeroyal]

I want this mechanic to install my TRD S/C for my Xrunner.... to bad I live in Canada.

Can you do an install video for the 4L tacoma? Great video by the way! 

[xtremeroyal]

I want this mechanic to install my TRD S/C for my Xrunner.... to bad I live in Canada.

Can you do an install video for the 4L tacoma? Great video by the way!

[luckyamo15]

Oh how'd I'd love to work for Toyota..

[Jerome0710]

Dude looked like chuck lidell in the beggining

[testbooster]

@Jerome0710 good call he does look like him LOL

[sardarzadasadam]

@testbooster WTF

[RealLiveStuntin]

How do u install a 2nd alternator?

[FloridaSPL]

@RealLiveStuntin

Installing a second alternator usually requires building a custom bracket to hold it in place for the belt to route around the pulley.

[MrMUHAMMADFUCKEDAKID]

@FloridaSPL Great vid,,,lot covered!

[Skimmitar88]

Any idea's on how to isntall a Supercharger into a Acura Vigor '93

[FloridaSPL]

@Skimmitar88

Carefully :)

[johnnyutah801]

thanks for the reply bout the turbo kit for my 4.7 tundra

[pioneer411]

Hi, Can this kit fit to Lexus LX570? Cheers

[FloridaSPL]

@pioneer411

No. Toyota does not offer a supercharger kit for the Landcruiser/Lexus with the same engine.

[pioneer411]

@FloridaSPL

Thank you for the reply., so is that possible to using the same kit, and modify some mounting of intercooler maybe?

thank you

[FloridaSPL]

@pioneer411

Yes. If you search the internet, you will find someone in the middle east who claims to have installed the kit on a Lexus. There are pictures.

[PACODIGIORNO]

@FloridaSPL...ok I have a brilliant red truck like the one you are working on...it has all the trd accessories...big brakes, performance suspension, and trd exhaust! I am buying the supercharger for my truck but need to find a dealer with experience installing the system...I was planning on taking it to Longo Toyota even though it is 2 hours from my home...do you know of a dealership in California that has extensive experience installing this item? Thanks for your response!!!

[FloridaSPL]

@PACODIGIORNO

We would recommend that you call the dealer and ask to speak to the technician. Have a conversation about the install and get a feel for his confidence or if he's installed one before. If he's seen our video, then you're safe. (you'll know that he's internet savvy and was smart enough to look for tips and tricks to perform the job correctly.)

[sk863cuz]

could i put one on my 98 4runner?

[FloridaSPL]

@sk863cuz

You can't install the Tundra charger on your 4runner, but Toyota did make a supercharger for your truck. You'll have to pick one up used if you want one.

[johnnyutah801]

can i get a supercharger for a 2002 tunda 4.7...or what can i do to beef this bitch up?

[FloridaSPL]

@johnnyutah801

Toyota used to make a TRD supercharger kit for the Tundra with a 4.7, but now you'll have to find one used on the internet. STS makes a turbo kit though (Part# SBC-580124).

[goldencarMH]

This guys extreme

[sweetlikeADAM]

That guy's little.

[Ranger42]

Awesome technician...Too bad most aren't as conscientious as this guy is.

[poohtray]

No more DIY...Mexicans do this kind of work for me!

[funguy7979]

I would love to get a post '99/2000 model SC430, rip out the 4.3liter and drop in a 5.7liter tundra motor with the supercharger (if there is enough room under the room) and a 6speed manual transmission. Now that is a lexus SC that I would love to drive.

[ngocongdu11201991]

ight thank allot man

[ngocongdu11201991]

do you know toyota camry 07 v6 3.5L, do they have supercharger if you know help me out.. thank

[FloridaSPL]

@ngocongdu11201991

No. Toyota doesn't offer a supercharger for the GR series motors yet.

[omarspence]

@ngocongdu11201991 You can get a GR series supercharger from Tom's racing.

[NitroFantasy]

So i can get the kit from the dealership? And it runs about 6K for the kit?

[FloridaSPL]

@NitroFantasy

Yes, you get get it from the dealership. Pricing may vary, check with a dealership or online.

[VirkDS]

nice job i plan on doing this to my 5.7 just dont have the 6k lol but soon

[sphinxofthenewage]

pro install , pro tech, pro explination gj 

[FloridaSPL]

@sphinxofthenewage

Thank you! We've got more things to post from this Tundra. Stay tuned and subscribe!

[LWSParents]

This Guys cool. Hes stoked about hopping up a truck, but not overdoing it like a couple of the piss poor actors on the truck shows. I like how he dumbs stuff down w/o being condescending. Not to be a video critic, but nicely done. Keep up the good work.

[FloridaSPL]

@LWSParents

This is exactly what our goal is. We've got more on the way!

[tonytsui96]

I look at the Toyota site and the TRD supercharger is available on the Sequoia but not the Tundra.

[tcrock89]

@tonytsui96 That's weird... You'd think they would...

[tonytsui96]

i think that its still available because they both use the exact same 5.7 V8 engine. it probably just isnt showing up in the accessories for the tundra

[tcrock89]

@tonytsui96 Oh yeah, that's right! I'd bet if you went to a dealership they'd be able to get it done

[stealthcorvette]

damn thats alot of work

[fuzion231]

Is that chuck liddell' cousin!

[saik0pod]

Okay I bought a experiment car, 1993 Camry 4cyl. 2.2. It's A/T and I want to know where do I make space to add the supercharger

[FloridaSPL]

@saik0pod

Who needs air conditioning? Lose the AC compressor?

[dzonnyLV]

@saik0pod cut a hole in tha hood.

[ThaBR33D]

How much does this kit cost? I have looked on TRD official site but it only shows facts not how much it is or where to buy it..

[FloridaSPL]

@ThaBR33D

Ask your local dealer.  You'll need to utilize them for installation help anyway.

[quiksilver222322]

" if your truck has the tow package, you need to use the supplied oil cooler bypass hoses, but ours doesnt, so... its junk! " ::clank::

*wait, what?... it does?*

" damnit.. cut! "

[fj60driver]

you must not be a flat rate tech. too many extra steps.

[FloridaSPL]

@fj60driver

We did many things for the sake of the video...

[FJoeForty]

@fj60driver Toyota warranty work pays great, but factory accessories like this definitely have conservative labor times. Not my boss, nor the customers for that matter, have any concept of the miracles we perform in the shop every day, just to pull something better than a decent paycheck.

[brucekirk89]

I am trying to fit a SC to my 77 Honey Bee TRYING THAT IS lol

[youiable]

Can you put a super charger and a turbo?

[FloridaSPL]

@youiable

It is possible. It's called twin-charging. Look it up!

[Invisiblepanda]

if i wanted a centrifugal supercharger for my ranger does anyone know how much it will run me?

[FloridaSPL]

@Invisiblepanda

We're not sure. Try search the web for some answers on that one.

[saik0pod]

um how much to add supercharger to my 07 IS350

[FloridaSPL]

@saik0pod

If you can source a TOMs kit from Japan it will set you back about $8k USD. But hey, you can afford it. You bought a Lexus.

[sonic911]

EASY AS PIE!!!....lol jk

[Tappedurassout]

so can i install ba superchargewr as long as i dont run e85?

[Tappedurassout]

buzz, i have a 2010 crewmax and am extremely interested in the trd sc. i have a flex fuel truck but do not run ethanol. i was told by the service manager that the only difference with the ff trucks are the fuel lines.

[FloridaSPL]

@Tappedurassout

I don't think you're going to like the answer, but Toyota doesn't offer a computer flash for your ECU. You need a non FF 5.7. Bummer, I know. Corn is not for engines, it's for Coca cola.

[Tappedurassout]

@FloridaSPL That does suck. Do you think it is a permanent thing? Because Diablo etc doesn't even have tuners for the 07+ 5.7's yet. Just wondering if there will be a separate tune for the FF ECU when they do come out.

[FloridaSPL]

@Tappedurassout

Yes. Unfortunately it's probably permanent. As for the tuners, wait for the economy to pick up.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

I didnt know Chuck Liddel worked on cars these days?

[manning55]

This works for the tacoma correct?

[FloridaSPL]

@manning55

Nope. But there is a kit available for the Tacoma. See your dealer for details.

[Motorfordtoyota]

@manning55 go to TRDUSA (dot) COM and check out the Tacoma kit.

[dflores315]

is that a broke back chuck lidell

[77ROLLS77]

that supercharger is tiny , and the truck is like soo small , lol joke , its america and everything has to be a 1000 x the normal size ( including the people )

[FATLACE420]

So theres, two parts of this video... so it takes 12 minutes to install a supercharger??

rofl

[sarzamineiran]

Why install it ourselves and do a shit job. Just give it to the skilled technicians at the Toyota dealership :D

[jmorgan118]

I did an install today and found no need to remove the hood. the supercharger hoist bracket hadn't came in yet so a co-worker and I dropped it in by hand.

[Kulawendin]

Why do new vehicles have to be so complicated to work with?

[mi777ke777]

excellent video work...lots of great tips...

[varnishvarnish]

pull that sucker out and sell it on ebay. lulz

[Iriatv]

he sayed drain cock

[lostagne]

hm.. do they have theese that would fit a camry 2.2l 92" ? 5s-fe

[improvisewitme]

I drive a 09 Tacoma double cab. I am on the fence about buying a TRD Supercharger. But after seeing this video, I think I'd be willing to drive from California to Where ever Buzz Thompson is located to have him install the Supercharger for me!

[MNel86]

5.7 V8 that you need to put premium gas in, this thing would be a money pit.

[CBeerzy]

You guys should do the TRD laser hahaha

[semitones]

This guy is a meathead, no way should you work on the fuel system without first removing the fuel pump relay/fuse and cranking the engine over a couple of times to relieve the system of pressure.

[sndd0138]

chuck liddell?

[fuckiraq12]

chuck liddell!!!

[FloridaSPL]

It is!

[SCOOBSTER101]

@FloridaSPL What's the name of the dealership that's installing this kit

[FloridaSPL]

@SCOOBSTER101

Buzz installed this at Wesley Chapel Toyota. He doesn't work there anymore however.

[lowmax64]

Seems simple.

[BruceCountyFinest]

Intake Flow accelerator...........Wow Does the Flux capacitor come with it to??

[FloridaSPL]

Yes, but if you hit that button it makes the Hadron Collider look like a teething ring.

[redskate55]

hi... how much HP will the trd supercharger will give if install on toyota landcrusier 2008 v6 manual gear ??

[thegunsmith88]

does ur truck have to be a TRD or is that just what the super charger is called?

[FloridaSPL]

Your truck doesn't have to be TRD. TRD is just Toyota's in-house tuning/performance shop so to speak.

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@thegunsmith88 TED is toyota racing development and ur car just has to be well a toyota

[2403328]

how much would all the equipment cost? how many hours does toyota say it would take to do?

[FloridaSPL]

The kit is around 7k. The labor is around $900. Call your dealer for actual pricing.

[technineriderTEH]

haha guy looks pissed off while he narrates good vid! im curious though do you need to do a exhaust upgrade becuase of the boost from supercharger? wouldn't want to blow the gaskets?

[stubbs4434]

How much HP did it have before the supercharger?

[FloridaSPL]

The 5.7L engine is 381 hp and 401 lb·ft.

[ElliottHawkins1]

wtf at 1.48 he looks like a midget next to that truc

[FloridaSPL]

Lol. Tundras are big trucks.

[Bankukhan]

Hi, this is a nice video!!! but car install a supercharger to any car, suv and pickup?

thank you for the video.

[MrSpartan1204]

Would it be completely different with a tacoma same year? Might be a stupid question, but I'm just learning.

[5959512]

I think that the platform is perfect for a supercharger because of the power to weight ratio and short wheel base. Plus toyota reliability, just because its a small cheap car doest mean its a peice of shit . Every car made by toyota is going to have similar build quality, as its the same company.The engine in the yaris is the gas engine from the $20k prius.the only reason i wouldnt do it is because its kind of ugly, i just bought it as a cheap car for college, ill save my cash and by a GTO

[FloridaSPL]

Agreed. But frankly it would be cooler to spank a GTO in a Yaris than to drive a car people know is fast like a 6.0 GTO.

[Battlemaster00]

@5959512 you would need to get a 3rd party aftermarket supercharger, as TRD makes none for the Yaris. They do sell a CAI for it, though.

[5959512]

yea that is kind of a shitty idea sorry i asked

[FloridaSPL]

I hope that is sarcasm. You can supercharge your lawnmower if you want. Don't listen to the nay-sayers. Do it!

[5959512]

I thought your supposed to beef up internals with super/turbochargers. I have a yaris and I was thinking of putting one in myself to save money. Does having an auto trans make that a bad idea.

[FloridaSPL]

This kit is designed by Toyota to be safe with the stock engine. If we were to add more boost or a shot of methanol/nitrous we would need to beef up the internals. Auto trans has no bearing on the supercharger/turbo. But if you're not running a kit designed for your car, you'll need to have it professionally tuned on a dyno.

[BXNYC0BMX]

you want to supercharge a yaris? A FUCKING YARIS!??!!? lmao its not worth it man...

[pacificloon]

This guy is awesome. He really knows what he is talking about. He brings a lot of intensity to the subject. Thanks for the video.

[TheEddiebx]

"pull that sucker out and sell it on e-bay". lol....im happy to see this guy hyped up for a demo. makes me wanna do things to my car...most demos r bland...

[IzlanK]

Damn American people got cool voices!

[Miguelcoolio]

what happens if u run it with less than 91 fuel

[FloridaSPL]

The engine computer will retard the timing and it will lose power. The check engine light will come on, and it will run like poo.

[ironmaiden441]

wood u b able 2 make a vid of u installing a walkinshaw supercharger in a hsv (holden special vehicle) gts. that wood b great. nice vid btw

[FloridaSPL]

Unfortunately, no. I wish we could make a vid for every vehicle that people ask for. But i's not possible.

[TheReapersSon]

Hi! Where did you learn to do all this?

[FloridaSPL]

Buzz is an ASE certified master mechanic.

[DAEHOIDAR111]

Wow definately not a job for just anyone, too bad all techs are not created equal. Id love to have you drop on ein my FJ! Great Video man!

PS What does Toyota charge for that install??

[mustangified]

probably an arm and a leg. you might also need to sell your liver (at least 1/2), and a kidney.

[FloridaSPL]

It is about 9 hours of labor.

[3DUARDO57]

what do superchargers do for gas mileage?

[FloridaSPL]

Theoretically, more horsepower will give you better fuel economy. But most of the time, you end up using the vertical pedal on the right more often. So it's all about how you drive.

[hehu123]

hey vary nice video about the supercharger. i like to know if you can make a video about the 2005-2008 corolla 1.8L 1ZZ-FE engine TRD supercharger. man i got a lot of people who would pay to watch that video and myself.
