The 1FZ supercharger kit is no more.

[Ting]

Just called Champion Toyota and bought the last one on the shelf! Thanks go out to Cdan for pointing out that the kit was discontinued, I wasn't really planning to buy one yet, but figured I should jump on it if I was ever going to want one.

Ken... I know you asked me before, and I am sure you will enjoy it. Keep us updated.......

Or you can resell it for $4000.

I guess that Head Gasket I was planning moved from the "Important Mod" category to the "OCD Preventative Maintenance" category. I wonder how that will affect my motivation to do it.....

CDan -

Will the serpentine belt still be available for awhile?

What about other replacement parts?

 

[cruiserdan]

I'm sure the belt will be. Other stuff has been spotty all along.

 

[landtank]

some how in 5 years I think there will be more "my SC might be blown" threads then HG ones.

This is a bummer of a reality check.....

For whatever it's worth, there was one listed in the parts f/s section here on 'mud. Brand new in box. Guy was asking $2850. I called him about it before I bought mine, he said he was having second thoughts about parting with it. I don't think he's aware that it's discontinued, he just wasn't sure if he really wanted to let it go or not. If anyone here really, really wants one you might try calling him.

These blower kits from oz are supposed to be ok .Ive only checked them out on diesels .

 

[landtank]

I'm sure URD will jump on this. They have a SC for the V8.

 

[landtank]

who knows, maybe a 7th injector model will be out after all the inventory on the shelf is depleted.

I had a call on Friday for a supercharger so I popped into Dealer Daily and there were none out there and the "status code" was a big fat "D".........

Meaning discontinued. It was fun while it lasted.

Ack! I was going to buy two of them this summer.

 

[NeverFinis]

bummer..I was set to buy one as well...

 

[Tentsontop]

Ka ingaru ite ingaru ote moa Given a choice, I'd rather have a turbo, but I'm happy with mine as it is.

 

[fj80psi]

There is always.......http://www.spiralmax.com/sm_photo.htm Ha Ha. We pulled a "turbonado" from a customers car last month. Supercharge any car $49.95

Ok...So I started to panic...Well not really but my plan (way down the road) was to supercharge my LX. Mostly due to where I live, the need for towing power, and 'cuz Romer has a supercharger

Anyway, I shot off numerous emails to folks that sell these with only one confirmation that they are discontinued? Couple places (Man-a-fre for one) said they hadn't heard that the supercharger had been discontinued but that it would cheaper to order the item locally.

So, I shot off a request to my local Toyota dealer inquiring about purchasing a kit and they came back with a price of $3880 + tax, none in stock, 3-4 days to get one, and it must be prepaid. So I replied that the reason I was interested in finding one "in stock" is that it was reported that the item was discontinued...

Here is the parts guy's response:

I'm glad you mentioned that, I called TRD to find out for sure, and they told me they are still avail, but are on backorder with no ETA. The ones that you have probably heard that are discontinued are for the 1998 to current LX450's (I assume he meant LX470s here) and Landcruisers, Toyota has never been able to fix a problem with the 4.7L V-8 superchargers at all, so they have been disctned for quite a while. They gave me a phone number to check periodicaly the availability, if you want it-1.800-688-5912.
​

So...Is it possible that the 4.5L TRD Supercharger is not in fact discontinued after all?

CDan, what say you??

 

[cruiserdan]

TMS USA has assigned a "staus code" of "D" which means discontinued. TMS and TRD do not always communicate too well with each other. The way I read it is that TMS has decided to drop it. TRD is still in talks with a vendor to see about getting some critical pieces re-cast. I imagine that TMS has not communicated to TRD that they have chosen to drop the product. When they get around to it they will.

If that dealer attempts to order a kit his order will get kicked back with a comment "DD, Manufacture discontinued".

I did a google search and found a few on line at various Toyota parts places new. Here is one http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/default.php?cPath=53_61&osCsid=66957434ebd1ecf97a136487e4746d46

If you really want one get er done.

Those would probably show up in Dan's search, if they were in stock. They may just have it available for order on their site and then drop ship it from the nearest Toyota parts warehouse. I bet if you order you'll get a back order notice.
