Just under 78,000. It is so worth it. Just spend the money, you'll thank me.

The brake upgrade I reference under my TRD post also makes a huge difference. Again, money well spent.

This is how the LC200 should have come from Toyota.

What did you drive before the 200? I only ask because the 5.7 almost doubles the power of the 4.7 and it's not that much heavier.

Personally, I think the 4.7 is enough to "move" the 100 but that's because I have faster cars.

Just wondering.

Previous daily was an AWD SS Trailblazer. Work vehicle was an H1 with stage 2 Duramax (500hp/900 ft-lbs). Garage vehicle is a Viper GTS ACR.

Currently, towing a heavily loaded trailer from Charleston, SC to Boise, ID and the supercharger is getting a workout. It was awesome in the mountains. Getting 11mpg but not bad for the load.

$8500 is a good price compare to Tundra TRD SC kit my dealer quote me around $7000 installed.

Out of curiosity, could you give some details as to what is needed to make this work on a 200? Thanks.

It was a good bit of fabrication, but primarily proper mounting of the intercooler, water hoses, pump, and reservoir plus the tuning.

lgop,

Any new mileage figures unloaded?

I saw you previously post 24mpg, but wondered if that was a typo.

That explains it. Enjoy!

Gas mileage is currently 21mpg with a mix of off road, city, and highway mileage.

I love my LC200 and the supercharger is impressive!

"Honey, I need a supercharger to help save on gas!"

Think she'll buy it?

 

[SparksParts]

It's worth a shot.

 

[mark71]

how much of the cost is parts and how much labor?

Yes Mark71, just tell her that your brake pads will last for 150.000 Miles!

Very nice!!! +1000 on the video....

TRD Sparks you sell the kit all set for the 200 series ?? Are there instructions for this included for the 200 series?

 

[bjowett]

Go to youtube and search supercharged Tundra... you'll get the idea.

We sell a kit that will work with the 200 series. You are going to have to do some fabrication but if you have someone good at that then you'll be fine.

ih8mud on the go!

The truck is strong and gas mileage was around 24mpg after filling up and driving around town.

The only issue I noticed is that the transmission is a bit slushy and it is more noticable due to the increased power, but IPT will be taking care of that next week.

Overall, I am very impressed and highly recommend the upgrade. The Land Cruiser no longer has to work to accelerate and it feels a lot smoother. Working with Jamie at Sparks was a pleasure and they took great care of me!

will this help you tranny?
