My new 01 trd solara

[AChumacher]

if its stock and he didnt touch it, its probably @ 4psi, which is roughly like 180whp...190 torque...

thanks Dawgz. what i was getting at was the psi. you could try flushing out all the fluids. and get your injectors cleaned. there could be back pressure on the engine.

[Dawgz]

and if it came from factory with the trd sc...and it has 40k on the engine, that means the sc does too, its time for an change of oil on that sc.

[Dawgz]

if its doing it when youre idling it might be one of the belts... have them checked out.

Could also be the tensioner.

No solara came from the factory supercharged. Maybe dealer installed but definately not from the factory.

Does the pulley assembly come with the dynamic tensioner? There is a water pump housing stud that needs to be trimmed to clear the pulley plate/assembly during a supercharger install. maybe it's still too long and is rubbing against the pulley plate/tensioner...

If the SC didn't come with a tensioner then this is the Kazumi model which is the first pulley plate assembly packaged with the SC when it first came out around 1/2001. The dynamic tensioner didn't come out until a year later... Just some random crap in my head that is not even related to the topic... lol

Hey Guys, It took me some time but I finally got a soundbyte on film. Any Ideas on how to upload it to the site? My main concern is when the engine is idling it sounds kind of tractor-like. I don't know if this is what happens on older toyotas or what. I Haven't been noticing any ringing in the past week. So I need an opinion on the idling issue. It sounds like a tractor or maybe like something is a little loose.
Anyway I need to know first how I upload the mpeg movie to the site.
Thanks for your help![/img]

whats the horsepower and torque on the dyno test?

if its stock and he didnt touch it, its probably @ 4psi, which is roughly like 180whp...190 torque...

A bit less then a stock Gen 2

gen 2's dyno at 180ish


u guys also have the added advantage of a bigger engine, vvti, and a slightly newer "mechanical" technology

[Eye8Pussies]

actually, only the cali spec ones put down around 180whp....as we found out on my solara lol

a fed spec would put down around 190

I'd say check the tensioner. I had a tensioner ball bearing go really bad and it produced a ringing...nasty indeed! However, I would perform all suggestions from the fellas recording what you notice after each step. If you just bought it, you might still have chance to get rid of it if things are going sour.
