TRD owners question.

[TRD303]

Gday all,

I own a 2008 TRD build 303.

My trip computer is showing very inaccurate fuel consumption and range readings.

Trip is showing 10.8/10.9L per 100km when actual is 18/19L per 100km.

I get around 330-350km to 65L.

Each time i refill the range on trip will read 565/580km.

I have been using the same servo,same bowser and traveling to the same destination/distance,at the same time of day.

I have reset the trip after 1 tank after 2,3 and so forth and does not seem to change ( always settles on 10.8/10.9l/100km ).

I'm thinking the trip computer or ecu (not sure how it works) has not been calibrated for the bigger injectors installed by TRD.

My question is: Is your TRD trip computer fuel consumption and range very inaccurate also?

Cheers.

Hey mate,

I also have a 2008 TRD

Rest assured my trip computer does exactly the same thing. I have no idea why. Doesn’t really bother me that much but it would be interesting to know the answer.

I get approx 420-450ks out of a full tank of BP Ultimate. That is loaded with tools full time

Hey,

Ahh..i think i may be on to something with the injector calibration thing.

Damn..i only carry a canopy most of the time..and always city driving (no hwy) wish i could get 400km from a tank

On a side note..i just serviced my supercharger,needle bearings etc, and needed to get a new silicone foam seal that goes around the intercooler..what a PITA that was! Very hard to find. If you ever need to service,try not to damage it.

Thanks for your reply mate.

Love my TRD

Cheers.

Most parts should still be available through Magnusson in the USA of their Aussie distributors. I wanted a new pulley for the crank as I wanted to build a new pulley for the air compressor drive. Was easy and cheap.

Hey mate,

I did contact Magnuson for the intercooler seal.

They asked what supercharger i owned,told them it was a TRD M90..had no contact after that. Should have said Magnuson MP90 maybe? Tried to contact again with no reply.

I did end up finding the silicone foam seal from a place in Sydney tho.

Cheers.

Bullet in QLD too. Try VCM in Melbourne as well.

[TRD303]

Tom from Bullet was very helpful.

Also Mace ,who supplied my needle bearings/oil were great to deal with.

Will checkout VCM.

Cheers HK.

Btw,do you have a TRD?

VCM are the Aussie distributor for Magnuson. It is where my kit came from.
