    I did this a few months ago to my 4Runner. Super simple mod but made all the difference in the world especially when upgrading my radiator to a champion, the struts are out of the way vs using the original prop. Working under the hood is great now plus you could use the prop if you had a limited clearance issue too or wanted to reminisce. Keep up the great content, I’m currently watching overseas and cannot wait to get home and have upgrades ready to install largely based on your channel.

    What kind of supercharger is this? What did it cost you?

    • @austinsoffroadgarage
      @austinsoffroadgarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TRD Eton SC. It was on the 4Runner when I bought it. Can buy refurbished one for a couple grand now days. Makes like 8lbs of boost with the pulley I have. Need more fuel.

      Any modifications need to be done to make one fit on a 2002 4Runner? I have one and have been doing a lot of work to it but have been looking into a supercharger but they’re all like over 3 grand. This one interests me

    • @austinsoffroadgarage
      @austinsoffroadgarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is the "1st Gen" style TRD made. This is a bolt on application. Stock makes about 5psi of boost.

      That’s not too bad. I’m having a hard time finding he housing and since mine is broken I was looking into getting myself a K&N
