According to Magnussen there isn't much to rebuild in those things. They will rebuild for you and test for around $350. You might need new vacuum hoses and such but those are easy to get. Make sure the ecu on this will work in your year of Land Cruiser. I am pretty sure the TRD sc from a Tundra will not work in the Land Cruiser.
If you can get it they're fun to have. Not a ton of power but enough to go uphill with a loaded Land Cruiser on a trip.

Not a ton of power?
I thought these were in the +110/120 hp range. That would put the LC in the 350hp range for a non-VVTi. I'd say that's a bump.
I'd by happy with 300hp on a non-SC motor in the 4.7l

That's assuming we actually have 230hp stock but we don't. Looking at someone else's dyno numbers we have less than 200hp stock at the wheels.
I mean don't get me wrong, there's more power and it helps a lot but I think people expect a lot of power when they hear or see "supercharger" but I think Toyota/TRD want longevity instead of a lot of horsepower. I think we're only running 8psi of boost. I rarely have to floor it, Grapevine or Sonora Pass isn't a problem. It's the slowing in the downhill side of Sonora Pass we need to worry about ... But that's a different thread. Hehe

The way I understand it, the "power" readily manifests itself at high RPMs. Under normal driving conditions you are not going to feel like you have 100 extra ponies. That said, I still want one.

Paul, give me a SC first and then I'll tell ya if you need one. Eh?
And who doesn't think the LC has about 230hp stock. I've dyno'd my truck.

188hp stock at the wheels.

Either way you should try to get the sc. One of these days I will install the DT Headers and get a dyno run and see what it has.

I would jump on it (still might) but I have a lot of funds floating right now. Plus I just ordered a roof rack and light bar. I have the DT headers sitting in the garage and was going to order a full skid package before installing the headers. Timing is just about a month off on this one.

I'm trying to figure out why nearly every 4.7 SC I see used on Fleabay has a rusty pulley.
And the SC will work on both the Tundra and LC. It's the TRD piggyback ECU that was vehicle specific, but people have gotten around that using the Unichip ECU.

I think the UNIChip piggyback will support 9th or 9th/10th injector setups. Now getting this smogged might be a problem, not at the tail pipe but under the hood.
Nice!

Nate - I didn't bid. Timing isn't right. I love the irony of looking for nearly 2 years without finding one for sale and then when I'm not in position to buy I just stumble into one.
Oh and congrats.

They usually sell for ~$2k on Ebay, maybe as high as 3. Dunno why that one fetched so much, it's way more than it was new. There was one a month ago that the seller had very meticulously recreated the install kit with all new parts - all new hoses, screws, etc. It didn't sell at $3150.
I didn't bid on it, but only because I didn't want my better half to kill me. Glad someone else on here got it.
I talked with that seller about it, it was in much worse condition, and that owner had never installed it, he bought it to use on his lexus and "decided" otherwise, made me think he didn't have a working unit or any of the right pieces, he did later reassemble it using parts matched from a friend's unit, but something didn't settle right for me about that one.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would need to SC a 100?
Even pulling a trailer over the Sierra with mine fully loaded I've never run out of gas pedal.
I guess you could do a part time 4WD conversion and drift with one.

Doesn't everyone and their mother know this? No vehicles "advertised" at the crank HP is identical at the wheels. There is always going to be some kind of parasitic loss through the drive train and wheels.
And the "claimed" HP/TQ increase with the SC is obviously at the crank, and not at the wheels.
Rusty_TLC, for towing and most of your daily needs, re-gearing is a far better option. Having a supercharger on a vehicle like the 100 is more for the fun factor and extra power, IMO.

That's an ideal scenario for forced induction... Getting sea level or better performance at altitude. I could have used one grinding over Sonora Pass last fall.
