is it possible to hook one of these superchargers up with a missile switch to turn it on and off? I helped a mate install one on his 2.7L 2wd hilux years ago. We used the MR2 side mount style supercharger and hooked it up via a missile switch.
It was great, he got the round town economy and then when he wanted a 60% power increase flicked the switch and it was a weapon. Always wanted to do one in a 4x4... No reason the same setup wouldn't work with a 3.4 I guess... Totally different to this top mount blower though.
Awesome work Glen!2012 4dr JK wrangler, 3.5" AEV lift, AEV mags, 35" muddies, front/rear arb bars, tjm sliders, pioneer platform and some other goodies

Glen,
Thats the IAC alright, I will check my notes tonight and let you know which way to fit it.
The aim is to allow air to by-pass the throttle body butterfly at idle speed.
Prado2004, the scroll type of supercharger we are using doesn't allow for Mad Max switches however they do have an internal by-pass which reduces the parasitic load when on a trailing throttle. Down to about 1hp if I recall correctly, then you get that nice little whine as you push the fun pedal

Glen,
Definitely a good move to have the injectors cleaned properly at this stage of install.
As Rossy said it's a tight fit for the drive belt & tensioner.
The drive belt is one spare I ALWAYS carry (2 actually) because it is not normally available in Aust. I know Bullet carry them or you can order from the US.
An inline brake vacuum check valve will work well, my Prado had ABS & Traction so does not have a traditional brake booster so didn't even think of it.
Possibly you can source one from a wreckers of Repco.
Always fun doing mods I think I spent longer cleaning threads etc. and ancillary gear then actually fitting the blower.

I only have this one belt but 2 more are on order from USA
Regarding the valve - I had already tried Repco, they didn't really know what I was talking about and couldn't help. From Toyota they're $40 - $60 brand new. I picked one up from a brake shop for $24, and then shortly later visited a car wrecking yard and saw literally hundreds!! I know where to go next timeglen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90
