Super Charger Problems - TundraTalk.net

problemsolver33616 · 05-22-2008, 08:17 PM

I have a 2000 Tundra standard cab long bed.
I recently had purchased a used supercharger on eBay.
I put the supercharger on myself but ran into problems with all of the hoses that had to be changed around.
Ened up having to have it towed into a dealership to have it finished. I have ran it for over 500 miles so the computer should have had enough time to adjust to the supercharger. I have a K&N Freash air intake with a new filter.
Here is the problem, I have to have to slowly push down on the gas pedal. I can not take off fast or when I am out on the highway I can not mash down on the peddle.
I have to do so slowly or the motor wants to jump around like it is losing power for a few seconds.
The dealership I went to does not seem to have much experience with the TRD supercharger and I am in a bind.
Also called the TRD hotline and the guy goes.
Maybe it's the cat-converter or a lose belt!
NO!
That was not the problem.
Anybody out there that actually knows something about these?

Could use the help
Thanks

It allows this thread to get thrown back to the top of the first thread page. What's the word on the CM/DC trade?

Sounds like you're not getting enough fuel. You can't just slap a supercharger on and expect it to work without moding your fuel delivery and doing some major re-tuning. Also, the flash on your factory ECU isn't set-up for, or capable of adjusting to, a supercharger.

I supercharged my last truck and had to add a boost fuel pump and a seperate fuel line to two additional fuel injectors. I also added a piggy-back ECU specifically set-up to handle fuel management and timing for the supercharger.

I stumbled on this forum through a search. It has been a long time since you posted, have you found resolution to your problem? I wanted to ask if you in fact did also install the piggyback Electronics that TRD supplied with every Supercharger. I too purchased a used TRD Supercharger on Ebay and have thoroughly enjoyed the totally revamped character of my 2000 Tundra. The piggyback electronics monitors the vacuum sensing valve and adjusts the fuel supply as required for vacuum and boost. With the complete TRD Kit it works excellent.

Thanks for the info, I will look into that. A while ago I got feed up with the problem. Took it back again to the dealership. They found out that two of my sparkplugs had hair line cracks in them. Must have happened a short time after the supercharger was put on. They went ahead and changed all of the plugs and put new wires on.
Truck runs great now! I am going to put on the 7th injector this coming year. I am going to buy through
Underdog Racing Development. They have some nice stuff if you have not already been to their site I would suggest you check it out.
