A supercharger on a high compression motor isn’t really worth it better off with a different motor they should of put a small v8 from factory anyways but the 3.5 is a good overbuilt motor and will last a long time
I’m ever so pissed that Tacoma never gets a v8 option. It would steal sales from the tundra and that is the only reason. With a updated v8 it would pull better mpg also. A corvette gets amazing mpg because that motor don’t need much to get it moving. Same applies to this. A taco with a v8 would be a near perfect truck.
You guys are WAY off the mark. Toyota will never put a V8 in the Tacoma because of what it would do to the Tundra sales. 😂 Sheesh! Do yer own research fellas!
Since you're still in break in mode, when you get to the 2nd part of this story, can you tell us how you got past the rev-limiter issue. When I put the 529 gears on mine, it revs and pulls so fast it hits the redline and cuts fuel to the engine. Please let us know. Thanks, oh and to Jeff h... just the gear change alone made mine feel like my tundra. I tested pulling over 10000 lbs on my uncle's trailer, and it had zero problems doing it. Of course it's not set up to pull that much wait, so I won't do that, but it pulled it with ease. I can definitely tell you with a supercharger and the gear change, that thing is more than a V8. Just because the horsepower numbers are lower, doesn't mean it translates to less power or speed
Totally worth it if you're dead set on keeping the truck for a while, especially if you ditch the stock tune for a proper one. You will never wanna go back to N/A. 91 Octane costs an extra 10-12 bucks for a full tank at the pump (chump change).
@@martincortez4956toyota doesn't care about that. The tundra has never been a major player. It does just good enough to not be on the hot seat. The Tacoma is their bread and butter. They put more tech in the Tacoma than the tundra. The tacoma is the f150 of the mid size truck world. Toyota would end production of the tundra way before they ever pull the plug on the Tacoma.
All to make less power than an F150 Ecoboost on 87 octane. What a sleeper 😂 And with the dog shit gearing in the transmission, those 5.29’s barely even give it shorter overall gear ratios than an F150 with 3.55’s in the axles Toyota people live in their own little world.
I won’t mind more speed but hey it’s a Toyota to add to that also a Tacoma For Gods sake fun things are problematic and don’t last long You want your Tacoma to last for ever Leave it alone
Being an owner of a gen 3 tacoma, I really have to say that the v6 in this truck is really dreadful. In order to get it to be useful you have to drop 10k and are stuck using 91 octane going forward which is insane to me. Im gonna be that guy and say toyota should have just taken the 2jz motor, updated it, and made it the standard engine in the tacoma. If you're a casual driver that does tow/haul this engine is ok but even still, it merges slower than molasses in January. Very reliable though.
Probably very close to this supercharger or procharger kit and install. Both this magnuson supercharger as well as procharger both cost around $7500.00 for the parts. The labor is said to be $150 hours, and the job takes a solid 10 hours to complete, regardless of which supercharger you use. So you're looking at close to $10,000 when you factor in everything.
Too all these clueless people worried about HP just remember that toyota was never known for "speed" exactly, but reliability. TOYOTA never makes overpowered vehicles as a normal everyday vehicle. Reason being is for "RELIABILITY" engine will have more wear and tear with fast moving parts, this is why toyota vehicles can hit 300,000 miles and more!
I cant believe people are paying for these upgrades! the supercharger kit alone is about 8.5k then tac on the gears and labor to put it all in your probably looking at 14k easily and all that for roughly 60hp and even shittier gas mileage lol. at that point just ls swap the thing. it would probably end up cheaper, you get way more power and better gas mileage.
I believe you can get it done thru most toyota dealers. Toyota worked with magnesun to develop it, afterall. If done by a certified toyota technician, it will be covered under warranty.
@@Eastsidegeorgiaboy nope. Toyota dropped the TRD Supercharger program in 2015. If you are lucky you may have an individual dealer that goes out of their way to certify techs and deals/installs Magnuson superhargers. Very rare.
NEVER worth the money, 2GR was not built for boost. If you really want “power”, built 1GR swap and turbo. The 1GR was overbuilt and has much better compression for both supercharger and turbo
What's the real 0-60 time ? Don't care how it feels, don't care how it sounds, let's see some real world hands on from a dead stop. 0-60 and Quarter mile time ?
5.5 to 6 seconds simply due to weight. The power is awesome from a roll, however. Downsize the pulley (2.5") with appropriate fuel mods and you will gap alot of new sports cars.
Yeah for only an additional $12k on top of the outrageous $35+k that truck goes for !! Of course this price is for manual windows and no stereo equipped model !!! Smh
No stereo and manual windows?! Wtf are you talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Sr has power everything and definitely comes with a radio. The only thing you miss is the few extra screens on the gauge cluster and possibly the turn signals in the mirrors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This ain’t 1980 where you had to option everything 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Crazy, still less power than a stock Ecoboost with the same displacement. Slap a tune on the Ecoboost and goodbye Tacoma. I'm not a Ford guy at all but I'm amazed with the Ecoboost and how to this day it still has no equal.
Yeah. Honestly for the cost to power gain is just not worth it at all IMO. Its certainly an improvement but its still not great. The 3.5 is a reliable motor but beyond that its just not a great powerplant for these trucks and never was.
I've owned a 16 tacoma auto and a 17 manual. The manual was AMAZING compared to the auto. I since traded for a 20 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost and yeah, there's just no comparison...the 2.7 is better in EVERY single way.
Unfair really to compare a naturally aspirated engine design and aftermarket parts to a full OEM developed forced induction engine. Ecoboosts are great, but when talking about gains for a Tacoma owner there are only so many options to improve power if you want/need it.
@@ALMX5DP so I compared an aftermarket boosted 3.5 to a stock boosted 3.5, anyone would think aftermarket would be more powerful. The rest of your comment is irrelevant.
The Magnuson unit is reliable as hell because it is low boost. You'll just be driving around a slow stock truck when you could have had boost all that time!
That was never the problem. They shut down the TRD Supercharger program because it wasn't as profitable anymore. There are still individual dealerships that work directly with Magnuson to offer them.
No it doesn't. The new hybrid only makes more torque, but its a hybrid...those are gay with batteries that degrade overtime. A tuned 2nd/3rd gen will outrun the new iForceMax Tacos. That is before header/exhaust mods (huge gains) and before you start playing with smaller pulleys.
If you wanted power you needed to build a tundra. That 4.0 v6 is trash for horsepower. It’s just not built for it . 3URFE in the other hand it’s amazing.
I'm sure people have 3UR swapped their Tacomas as well. But this is a kit that nearly anyone can tackle in their garage to get a good boost of power on their already owned and loved Tacoma.
This customer isn't in NC currently, and his truck has actually been modified substantially more since this filming of this episode. Must be another white Taco, with what sounds like a bad driver.
@@scottishd0g87 You are right one time a Tacoma kept up with me but I had a fully loaded trailer in the back with about 1500 pounds even the Tacoma guy gave me a 👍 lol

Can’t wait to re-gear mine 💪🤙🫡
Mine is so sluggish with the 33s!
Get a regear. The stock tune will not let you go faster than 80ish mph with 5.29 gears and 33's. Need an aftermarket tune to stop the governor.
And to think, it only takes almost $10K to get there!
and you're permanently stuck w/ 91 or 93 oct. just get a full-size at that point, it's ridiculous lol.
They could have waited for the next generation
