More Horsepower Needed

When I bought it it was at 13.4 so I wiped the memory by pulling the battery. Seems the truck is set at 15.3 street and 18 highway. I will take it on a 300 mile journey Saturday and really test the MPG with all the upgrades.

Is there any easier way to clear the historic MPG on the display?

 

I have wanted one for years. They can even show the beginning of problems if numbers change. It is like having your own track in your vehicle.
I believe we should get a stock T4R & test it.
Add an intake & test it.
Exhaust & test it.
On & on until we find the point of diminishing returns without a supercharger or nitrous.
We would all have to run test with similar tires in the same temperature range.
I would help pay & participate. We have a TRD intake & stock sized Duratracs.

 

I have a different intake I might install which i

I want 250K on this vehicle. Upgrading now should save me money later

 

Who doesn't want more HP? I need more so I made a post. I want MPG and HP without compromise. I bought this 4Runner and I will get the results! Just follow me

 

I’m very happy with the supercharger from magnuson. Well worth the money.

 

What compromises do you speak of? I don't want to completely kill the warranty yet.

 

I also feel the power is plentiful. I have a permanent tent on top and carry a lot inside, probably around 500lbs daily. The other day I had three of us in the cab with all our riding gear, tools, and towing three dirt bikes. I punched it getting on the freeway and the 4.0 just took off, plenty of power, got up to 70mph before entering the highway. Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I would have a supercharger, but I would probably spend the $6K on another dirt bike before that.

 

Lol

 

There it is, the stupidest thing I’ve seen all day.

 

There will always be someone interested in the snake oil. If not, they wouldn't keep selling it.

 

I just took it on a 5 hour drive on the highway mostly...it needs more power. I'm only speaking of the TRD Pro though. I have maybe added 300lbs with accessories and off-road tools. The T4R struggles under 2-2.5K RPM. Average about 19.5 mpg highway

 

I've noticed that but I think it's due to my foot.

 

It will the the stupidest or the greatest. You don't know if you don't try. No regrets! I'll let you know if it's a fail

 

I guess it really depends on your driving habits, and what you're used to.

I have 3-400# of tools, recovery gear, etc in mine at all times. I have no problem getting up to 100 MPH when I need to get around a group of slow drivers.

If you think it NEEDS more power, you probably bought the wrong truck.

 

Man talk about a power increase. I've been deadheading a 6x10 enclosed cargo trailer from MT. to So. CA. and returning with 3~4,000# of accumulated "treasures" for the past year. When I unhook after the 1,200 mi. trip, it's an instant power boost.
Been building some ripped right leg stomp on the go pedal muscles.

 

Found out I needed an alignment. Added almost 2 MPG with the front end needing about .45 degree of adjustment overall. Cost me $144 for a 3 year unlimited deal at Goodyear.

 

Using the DISP button on the steering wheel, toggle to the MPG display. Hold the DISP button down for about 5 or 10 seconds and it will reset the calculated MPG.

 

How much louder is the truck with the Y pipe?

 

With a Magnaflow muffler its not bad imo. Low frequency growl increased w a little bit of drone, and high rpms sound great. But, this is also a subjective opinion that varies quite a bit from one person to the next.
I now have mud tires, so they drown out everything.
