  • 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road – Harrop Supercharger & VF Tuner Tune

    2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road – Harrop Supercharger & VF Tuner Tune

     
    Clearly, Alex’s 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road is no stranger to the trails!  But the added weight of the extra gear, rooftop tent, and larger tires really started to show up in the driving experience, both on and off road.  Alex’s ideal solution was to not only add power, but to do so in a way that wouldn’t affect daily drivability, or reliability on the trails.  And it just so happens that’s exactly what our Stage-2 Harrop Supercharged package delivers for 2007-2021 Tundras!
     
     
     
    This package is configured around the beautifully designed Harrop Engineering TVS2650 supercharger… yep, the same supercharger rotor pack that comes factory equipped on the legendary 755hp 2019 Corvette ZR1 and 760hp 2020+ Ford Mustang Shelby GT500!  Strapping this supercharger to the Tundra’s 5.7L 3UR-FE engine results in not only a significant increase in horsepower, but also a serious increase in low-end torque delivery.  Exactly what a weighed down Tundra needs!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    While our Stage-1 package “leaves well enough alone” with just the supercharger, our Stage-2 package takes things up a notch!  Stage-2 additions include ZPE GripTec 80mm supercharger pulley to increase boost pressure, DeatschWerks 650cc fuel injectors to keep up, a custom tune on the dyno via VF Tuner, topped off with optional cooling modifications including VMP Performance supercharger coolant reservoir, CSF Radiators aluminum radiator, with Mishimoto Automotive dual 10.00″ electric fans moving air even at low speed.
     
    Once everything was installed by the shop by Jerzy, the Tundra made her way to the dyno to get a custom tune on the dyno via VF Tuner.  With normal 93 octane in the tank, and the TVS2650 delivering ~9psi, this Tundra’s output increased to 485.80whp & 512.17lbft!  That’s an increase of over 200hp & 200lbft at the wheels over stock!  Pretty incredible results for such a simple combination of parts.

  • 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER HELLCAT | STAGE-1 TO STAGE-2 STOCK SUPERCHARGER UPGRADE

    2016 DODGE CHALLENGER HELLCAT | STAGE-1 TO STAGE-2 STOCK SUPERCHARGER UPGRADE

    Greg brought in his 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat early last year for our Stage-1 Stock Supercharger Package. After getting used to that additional power, he decided to take it up another notch and pull the trigger on upgrading to Stage-2!
    With our performance packages, Stage-1 is a stepping stone to Stage-2 and up! All parts installed in the first round of work support what is done in Stage-2.
     
    Parts installed this time around:
     
    – Kong Performance Supercharger snout, housing and bearing plate 5-axis CNC porting service
    – Kong Performance 108mm Throttle Body
    – Stainless Works 3 inch mid-pipe with GESi G-Sport UHO Catalytic Converters
    – High Horse Performance, Inc. Crank Pinning Kit
    After Tim finished up the install in the shop, John strapped the Hellcat to the rollers so Vlad could perform a custom calibration. With the additional Stage-2 modifications, the output increased to 804.86whp and 692.42wtq!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  • 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec Makes 550whp On Pump Gas!

    1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec Makes 550whp On Pump Gas!

    The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R: it’s the thing of dreams for the Gran Turismo generation.  But as more have been circulating United States roads in recent years, the resounding sentiment seems to be, “huh, I kinda’ expected more…”  But here’s a quick reminder: these cars weigh in at over 3,400lbs, and typically produce only around 300whp in stock form on our dynos.  Sure, it was competitive for its time, but fast forward to 2022, and there are now several family cars that would pace it door-to-door from a dig.

     

     

    However, this problem has a rather simple solution: more horsepower!  And that’s what Sean brought us his gorgeous QM1 Cloud White 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec to have done.  But before we get into the build details, just look at how magnificently appointed this car is… NISMO Omori Spec LM GT4 wheels, NISMO aero package, even NISMO carbon fiber B-pillar garnishes.  The JDM fanboy in all of us is in love.

     

     

     

     

    And such a spectacularly iconic car needs power to match!  But Sean’s goals for this scope of work wasn’t to break any records, but rather, to “future proof” his setup so he can add more power down the road if (when) he gets the itch.  So, for this round of work, the goal was to make safe pump gas power.  Build details below:

     

    Engine

    • RB26DETT N1 engine block
    • OEM R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R long-snout crankshaft
    • CP Pistons 86mm 2618 forged pistons
    • Manley Performance Turbo Tuff connecting rods
    • ACL Race connecting rod and main bearings
    • Machine work and assembly by Mazworx
    • ARP fasteners throughout
    • Tomei 1.20mm thick cylinder head gasket
    • OEM Nissan N1 engine oil pump
    • OEM Nissan N1 water pump
    • OEM Nissan timing components with HKS timing belt
    • Nitto Performance cylinder head drain-back system
    • Tomei oil galley restrictor
    • Tomei PONCAM 262°/262° intake & exhaust camshafts
    • Tomei valve springs & retainers
    • All OEM Nissan gaskets and seals needed for assembly
     

    Fuel System

    • Injector Dynamics ID1050x fuel injectors
    • Walbro 450lph in-tank fuel pump
     
    Turbocharger System
    • Full-Race Motorsports top-mount twin-scroll T4 turbocharger manifold
    • BorgWarner S366 turbocharger
    • TiAL Sport MV-S wastegates
    • Full-Race Motorsports down-pipe
    • Custom fabricated aluminum 2.50″ hot-side intercooler piping with 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers
    • Custom fabricated aluminum 3.00″ cold-side intercooler piping with 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers
    • Custom fabricated aluminum 5.00″ air-intake system
    • Custom fabricated 304SS wastegate dump-tubes and down-pipe adapter
     
    Drivetrain
    • NISMO Super Coppermix twin-disc clutch assembly
     
    Engine Management
    • Haltech Platinum Pro stand-alone EMS with CAN WB02
    • Haltech ethanol content sensor (for future Flex Fuel calibration)
    • AEM Performance 3.5bar MAP sensor
    • AEM Performance 3-port electronic boost control solenoid
    • OEM GM intake air temperature sensor
    • Custom calibration by Vlad on 17psi
     
     
    The result is a setup that is overbuilt in the right areas, to not only make the power, but to do so with optimal drivability and long-term reliability.  Prime example, if you’ve never driven a NISMO Super Coppermix twin-disc clutch, then you don’t know how great a twin-disc clutch can drive!  And with that all said, here’s some documentation from this killer build!

    And the great thing is that this stock engine bay won’t appear dramatically different after all of this work!

     

     

    HP Tuners Smart Access cable being installed for the initial read prior to PCM unlocking…

     

     

    Supercharger off to porting!

     

     

    See the oil buildup in the intake ports?  This car is brand new, and it’s already accumulated that much!  This is why the J&L OSC air-oil separator is a strongly recommended option…

     

     

    The Kong Performance 108mm throttle body…

     

     

    Injector Dynamics ID1050x fuel injectors going in…

     

     

    The finished result!  Crazy to think the under-hood aesthetic is mostly stock appearing, but is packing 180hp extra…

     

     

     

    And the result?  With a stock baseline of 664.44whp & 648.66lbft, our Stage-2 package increases output to a blistering 847.45whp & 751.57lbft on 93 octane pump gas!  Peak gains of 183.01whp & 102.91lbft, all without compromising drivability or reliability.  Absolutely killer performance!
