I’ve been researching superchargers for the 4.7L Toyota. The two main types are roots and twin-screw. Roots provide a lot of low-end torque, while twin-screw is more efficient at higher RPMs. Anyone have experience with either?

I recently installed a roots supercharger on my Tundra, and the power increase was noticeable right away! Installation was a bit tricky but totally worth it.

Roots or twin-screw, both have their merits! The real question is, how much power are you looking to add? I’ve heard roots can give you a serious boost across the board.

5

If you’re doing a lot of off-roading, roots might be your best bet for that low-end torque. Just make sure to consider your drivetrain’s compatibility before the install!

Awesome to hear it worked out for you! How was the tuning process after the install?

My buddy installed a twin-screw on his truck and he loves the efficiency. It’s surprising how much power you can squeeze out with the right setup. I’d consider this if you want better fuel economy too!

That’s an important point, Jimenez! How do twin-screw superchargers perform under high load conditions? Any reliability issues reported?

I’ve heard some mixed reviews about twin-screws in off-road situations. A few guys mentioned they can overheat under heavy use. What’s everyone’s experience?

The overheating can be a concern, but upgrading the cooling system could help. That said, proper tuning is crucial, especially for high-output setups.

Installation complexity does vary! Some superchargers are bolt-on while others require more extensive mods. Always check if it can work with your existing engine components.

I’m curious about how the engine’s internals hold up with these setups. Has anyone had to upgrade pistons or rods after supercharging?

So true! I would recommend doing a lot of research or consulting a pro before diving in.

Don’t be surprised if you blow your factory warranty after this install. It’s a gamble but one worth taking if you’re chasing power!

LOL, I guess no one worries about warranty after a few rides! But really, striking the right balance between power and reliability is key here.

Has anyone considered using a supercharger with aftermarket tuning software? It might help maximize your gains while keeping things stable.

Hey! If you’re looking to install a supercharger on your 4.7L Toyota, you’ll need some essential tools: socket set, torque wrench, and a good set of pliers. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s manual closely!

Great tips! I also recommend using a lift if you have access to one. It makes working under the vehicle so much easier and safer.

Don’t forget to upgrade your fuel system too! A supercharged engine demands more fuel, and stock fuel pumps might not cut it.
