Supercharged 4Runner with Jardine Exhaust

My supercharged 96 4Runner finally gets a worthy exhaust system. I have a pretty extensive list of mods, but have always ran the stock exhaust system with a cherry bomb installed for some reason. It sounded good, but was too loud and the supercharged engine was not breathing to its full potential due to the restrictive stock piping. The Jardine / Doug Thorley 2.5" O.D. system is mandrel-bent and an excellent bang for the buck. It's not too loud and it really improved power in both the low and high ranges of the power band. I am not sure why the video switches me to RHD at one point, but it doesn't really cause any problems so I left it in place. High-speed passes were done on a deserted road. My guess is that I have about 270HP at the crank.

that sounds about right. cuz the old Hilux Pickups my dad had were both 5 speed manuals, but our 4Runner and most other things I see with it are 4spd automatic.

Wiki answers says Sport Rallye, 5-speed...but I think this designation has lost much of its original meaning over the years; now it's just a "cool" badge or power package that the sales guy can convince you to buy so he makes his quota for the month.

my old 4Runner had SR5 printed on the back, so did my dads '84 Hilyux Pickup. most toyota trucks have it, do u know what SR5 means?

nope, its a 4Runner, sorry it's actually not a limited, just SR5 (5spd 5VZ)

Sounds good! Just remember, high octane fuel or not, the stock fuel pump cannot sustain the needed psi at the fuel rails under sustained WOT runs. But it should be fine if you just romp on it once in a while. Are you talking about a Limited Tacoma? The 4Runner's didn't come in a 5-speed Limited, unless you mean the auto tranny's clutch pack...

man nice truck! i've been rocking my uncles 2001 limited with a 5VZ and TRD S/C for about a month now, i don't think he has anymods really, S/C and K&N CAI is all, but the thing flies! I noticed you talk about fuel mods, i run it on 94 octane and it's great, i can really feel the top end (as i beat on it once a day usually..) but now the clutch is starting to go.. ooops! :P

Yeah, we call that the "deckplate mod." You simply cut a circular hole in the front of the airbox and install a marine deckplate in its place. You can plug the hole for water crossing or whatever. It's good for 5WHP on the dyno - I've seen the dyno graph. I have this with my supercharger. Another less evasive way to get power is to pull the fender snorkel completely off and remove the sharp 90-degree elbow. That's called the "elbow mod."

all I did was cut a hole in my airbox, my 4runner sounds badass

It's pretty evident when your windows are down and a lane ends if someone is trying to prevent you from merging.

wow,did you ever think that they were not racing you? They probably didn't waste their time.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
