Finally found one, swapped a TRD s/c into my 100

Took about six hours from start to finish. I need to put some pictures up but if you have instagram @ay_nako to see the whole thing!

Drove down to my friends place Friday night with the wife, 6AM up to his local dealership, by noon I was out romping on the car! sounds and feels amazing. As everyone says its how the LC should have felt stock. Drove about 600 miles already and of course not a chug, or mil / dtc on.


awesome feeling.



will put pictures up

Soooo jealous, congrats!

Congrats! I feel the same way in my S/C hundy. I love it but I am getting worried what will happen after 100k miles when I need a new supercharger or rebuilt one. My understanding is the company that rebuilds them is no longer fixing them.

I have been considering a second hundy and leaning to a 200 for this reason. I don't want to have to worry about my supercharger every 2-3 years.

Are there really no kits to rebuild yourself that are available? Seems like any shop that does serious work on superchargers could take care of it as well... Was there ever Toyota Tech material on the SC's?

Sweet! Excited to see your pictures. I've got a NIB unit (Tundra specific) that is on my to-do list.

Fwiw, there are still some great re-builders out there:

Scroll Down.

Spoke with them a few weeks ago and evidently the 4.7L kit is still very much in the works. Not sure how they will address the 03+ crowd, as the 5-speed appears to require some adjustments on the piggyback wiring vs. the 98-02. Nevertheless, encouraging especially if it happens.

Perhaps an S/C 100 > 200

Interesting as I bought my MAP ECU from them. I had a hell of a time finding someone to program it in Chicago. It took over close to 6 months for me to finally get the job finished as I had to use 2 separate shops, one to install the super charger and the other to program it. In the end a Super Charged hundy is my favorite vehicle over my bmws and my twin turbo V12 benz.

Although I am sort of itching for a super charged 200 now.

I heard that PSE Superchargers can rebuild the Toyota SC's
