Re: Supercharger Kit for 2.7 VVTI
But why?
Rather sell and buy the V6?
If you think about it, the moment you install the supercharger, the secondhand value of your truck drops with at least 60%. Very few people will buy a vehicle with such extreme modifications.
Secondly, there are always teething problem with setups like this.
I would rather buy a standard V6, have enough power and even 4x4!
Search Alpine developments on the forum, IIRC someone lost a Prado motor after they tinkered with it?

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

You make it sound like an auto is bad?;)
The older V6's here available in manual, me think before 2009?
Please tell me your dislike in auto's, I personally enjoy auto's very much!

Re: Supercharger Kit for 2.7 VVTI
As long as i have the use of two legs and two arms, i'll drive a manual, but must say the V6 auto's are nice, well sorted and lively gearbox and the fuel consumption is much the same as the manual and no clutch problems
