Toyota V6 Supercharger boosts 75HP question!!

[Hamburgerpimp]

I just bought a 3.4L V6 Toyota Tacoma. I can get this factory Supercharger for $800 less than the $2600 factory price. Is it worth the 75HP boost? I could get headers to boost another 15HP, as well. That would take a 190HP V6 to 280HP. This little Tacoma would fly!!

If you have the cash available, I'd go for it, the only thing I would be worried about is that w/ an empty bed, too much HP might be wasted spinning the tires, but that too would be fun

With that much added money, why don't you get something more powerful in the first place.

no, you really get about 40hp to the wheels with the TRD SC. I have a 00 4Runner and I'm saving up for the SC.... I'll get one someday. :frown: Add Edelbrock headers and a flowmaster 40 catback and maybe get 10hp.

If you have any questions visit the 4x4Wire Forums

75hp for $800?

Man, a few more HP and you've got the total of my little econobox...

YES, GET IT.

That's $1800, not $800

I don't like the Tundra look. So, that's why I bought a Tacoma. And I would never buy an American Truck. Can you imagine trying to resell your Ford when they're giving $4000 cash back on new ones at the dealership? It's happened to many people I know and they are honestly pissed.

It's actually $800.00 less than the $2600.00 factory price, which is still $1800.00 Phuz.

Hamburgerpimp, just out of curiosity, isn't your Tacoma built in the US?

I don't know, how do I tell?

 

[amnesiac]

Hey Hamburgerpimp, wanna get me a deal on the V8 Supercharger for my Tundra?
50% max increase in hp/torque...but at a cost of $4000

Yeah, I heard the boost on the Tundras are insane! The dealer below may be able to swing you a deal. And you save on Sales Tax if you live outside TX!

I'm not sure how you tell from a used car, but according to this URL: New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) your Tacoma was made in Fremont, CA.

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Hmm, engineered in Japan and made in the U.S. I think it said final assembly in California. Parts from Japan. Or, something like that.

I'm sure the engineering was in Japan, and from the link I posted "assembled" in CA, but what throws me off is this personally:

*Toyota vehicles and components are built using many U.S. parts.

found at the bottom of this URL: WONDERING WHERE TOYOTAS ARE BUILT?* . I suppose this is what a global ecenomy is all about Hamburgerpimp.

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Yep, sure is. I was just at Target tonight and EVERYTHING I picked up was made in China!

Supercharger = good. Power on demand

WTF happened? It looks like a tree fell down across the bed of your truck?

 

[d33pt]

This is what happened.. i'm getting paid $3000 for it.
