    Supercharger or not?

    Exactly. The 1-2 shift harshness would cause at minimum, the belt to jump, at most, the tensioner to break. I have some pictures Of the carnage I will locate and share. JDM quickly told me that they had seen that before, and it was pretty much specific to the 13’s. The 14’s ended up using a...

    Supercharger or not?

    Everyone has their own perspective. I appreciate that. I build in some margin of safety. If I purely use the paper blend requirements for 90 to 93, $300 gets me to 110 complete fills of a 34 gallon tank at .09c/gallon. Personally, I am willing and it makes sense to me to pay the slight premium...

    Supercharger or not?

    Thanks for sharing. Fortunately, the issue resolved with the tune.

    Supercharger or not?

    My truck is inching towards 125k miles, all with a Roush Stage II. Right around 100k miles, I moved to Alaska. 90 octane is premium which left me with a decision to make. De-tune the truck, which would leave with less than optimal timing advance and possibly pulley up for less boost. That didn’t...

    So Long GEN 1 guys/gals

    124k of “factory” Roush Stage II mileage. Everything is good less some broken belt tensioners on the Roush tune. Since the VMP, all good.

    Decent Road tire recommendations

    Currently, I have 37x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They wear well. They look nice. On road manners nice and quiet tire at that. They were atrocious in snow and ice. When I bought the tires, I lived in Cincinnati. I now live in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. The hard rubber compound and lack of...

    The supercharger itself? Nothing. The lubricant in the blower is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. Speaking with an Eaton rep at one point a while back, he told me 200k, unless it was being overdriven by xx percent (I don’t recall the figure) or if there was an high level of belt tension...

    Dreaded 6.2 misfire

    Yet another example of a reason to include 5.4L in this section title and 6.2L in the other. I made the same mistake until someone pointed out to me I should have posted in the 6.2L forum.

    POSS GEN 1 Owner Roush stage 2

    Removed the idler next to the power steering pump. Went through three of these carnage events before the tune and idler pulley removal.

    POSS GEN 1 Owner Roush stage 2

    I’ve driven mine on several long drives with no issues. For peace of mind, you could keep a spare serpentine belt on hand. These TVS blowers are extremely reliable. If you see a failure, it will likely be the belt (typically can hear it coming, but also can keep on top with a visual inspection)...

    POSS GEN 1 Owner Roush stage 2

    2013 Roush here. 122k, 5w30 with frequent oil changes. Also, I went with a VMP tune and eliminated one of the idler pulleys that is in the 2013 kit configuration. If I was in 4wd, upon 1st to 2nd shift, it would either 1) jump the belt or 2) break the belt tensioner arm in half. After several...

    Delineate between 5.4 and 6.2 in forum section titles

    Just a thought/suggestion. It appears each section was intended for its own engine.

    Delineate between 5.4 and 6.2 in forum section titles

    Just a suggestion. People (including myself until corrected) seem to be confused about this. Thanks

    Procharger + Elite Engineering E2-X Help

    It may be helpful for a admin or moderator to add 5.4L to this section and 6.2L to the other. Just a suggestion.

    2013 Roush Stage II. 122k. Going strong!

    Performance Build in process

    Sounds about right on the drivetrain loss on these trucks. Mine is right at 25% loss based on where I believe the truck is at flywheel horsepower. (630-640). Killer engine build Cody!

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    As to why, it was a great deal from a family member. I had a 2005 4Runner that was rock solid for 300k before selling. Had two MKIV Supra Turbo’s and an MKIII (nice car, poor engine...head gasket and rod and journal bearing issues from the factory). The Raptor has been solid. Intermittent...

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Oh, and I forgot to add this, but the Sequoia uses about 2.5 quarts every 5000 miles. That is ~5x more that my 6.2 does (and it’s forced induction!). I typically lose approximately .5 to .75 every 5000.

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Great info FordTechOne. On a related note, my wife has a 2012 Sequoia and I have a 2013 Roush Raptor Stage II. It’s been supercharged (TVS2300) since day one and has 121,000 miles at present. The last ~20,000 have been at 9-10psi and likely near 650 hp versus the original 590 hp. I don’t abuse...

    2013 SVT Roush

    Also, if you do happen to get a Stage I (vs II), I would highly recommend retrofitting it to the Stage II, which is as simple as a tune, pulley and belt change. Some of the vendors sell it or an iteration of it as a kit. I had a friend with a Stage I (525hp/535 trq) I bought the Stage II...
