I had to change this ac idler pulley. It started to make some noise on the way home from Arkansas. Much better. I'll change the other idler next time I'll take the battery out.

Must be an Arkansas thing, Dustin and I both had problems with the tensioner while we were down there in June.

Prolly the amount of mud and water we went through.

Well yesterday was a huge day for the lx. Thanks to @2fpower @Robkc @kc_chevota helping me out. Here is my quick review of the supercharger. Around town yes there is a difference on the highway there is substantial difference in be able to pass people go up hills etc. the engine ran around 186 to 194 all the way. It almost feels like you have unlimited amount of power compare to what I had before. I did not push it at all I think I did see 3psi once. I do have to adjust the kick down cable to make it down shift. But the power. I can't say enought about the. It is absolutely worth the investment. Here are a few pics

Fully assembled.

The kick down cable you mention is just a throutle reference that controls rail pressure. I would tighten it up for firmer quicker shifts. you can advance the throutle position sensor to move the shift map to have it down shift a little sooner

You will have to educate me on that. Only shift point I would like to move is when I'm in overdrive around 70ish. Thanks for the help @cjmoon

Whats your tire and gear setup Sammy ?

 

[2fpower]

35 and none.

Superchargers really make up the additional power you need to not have to regear. Several people that I have sold SC to have the same comment. I look at gearing as a $3k hit. SC are about $4,500. Seems like a better investment to me to have all that additional power; however, I may be biased.

What @2fpower said. You have to drive it to see. It is hard to explain

unfortunately there's no way to adjust just one gear shift. TPS is about the only input that will affect shift points (all at once together)

are you trying to make it hold the gear or down shift quicker? the FSM has an adjustment procedure for stock set point. then play with it just a bit on each side. it will make the trans lag behind or make is aggressive on shift and hold gears longer.

My goal is for the trans to down shift quicker when I step on the gas. So the adjustment should be similar to the power button..... ok I'll drive it for a bit before adjusting things and then give it a shot. Thanks for the input @cjmoon

Mine does much the same on not downshifting; however, it seems to be accelerating all the time, meaning, going up a hill, the car is continually accelerating, not bogging down and needing to downshift to give that extra boost of power.

I have gotten used to it and it seems normal now.

Went out with a few guys to Fulton on New Year's Day. Had a blast. My buddy unfortunately granted his rear diff. On a positive note only took little over an hour to take it out.

It was my buddies Lexus gx470. I'm not sure if we can fit a 9.5 under there. I think he has 3 options. A later model 4Runner axle swap. Solid pinion spacer and gears or a locker. Will see he is talking to east coast gear supply in the am
