I may check this out: (read below from URD guys)

"We are looking for the first customer buy the URD 1GR Forced Induction System. What we need is a 05+ Tacoma with and automatic transmission. We prefer a 4x4 Double Cab for the extra weight.

We will need you to be willing to upgrade the valve body of your transmission by IPT so we don't brake the transmission right away.

The first customer should be on the central East Coast and willing to travel to the shop for installation and allow me access to the vehicle for at least a full day to calibrate the engine control system.

You will pay for the kit. What you get is to be the first to have the production kit and you get free installation and a custom calibration by myself.

We would like to do this within the next couple of weeks and we would like to do the install and calibration on a weekend.

Please only serious people and no BS folks just trying to pump me for info.

If you have a 05+ 4x4 Double Cab and are willing to do some traveling to get all this done let me know. We will decide who will be the best fit for our needs.

We have several prototype systems running, but all on manual transmission trucks so far and we would like to see how it performs on an automatic transmission before we start shipping these kits all around the world."

I have been contacted by URD and they would like to use my new Tacoma........what do I need to be aware of or concerned with?

I think it sounds cool, but I don't like the idea of you having to pay for everything youself.

Elhazzja

what kind of car you need?

Rich

URD wants to use my new truck (Tacoma) for a FI setup. I pay for the kit and they install/tune it for free. I just don't have a good feel for what I need to be concerned with and whether the parts they use are top-notch. From what little research I've seen; they make some pretty good parts. They are going to call me Sunday evening to discuss details and see if I'm willing to donate the truck for a week. I haven't discussed prices yet.

Rich

Yeah.........I'll be discussing costs on Sunday.

Elhazzja

sorry, well that would be interesting..........

Hey Rich URD is good people man. Since I bought my Xrunner I've been looking and looking. URD is the only company that makes parts for my truck. The main guy who is the one that probably contacted you one frequents the custom taco board is very helpful. They are soon to do a press release on an FI set-up for the Xrunner and you best believe I'm gonna be all over it. I say do it man and I'd love to catch a ride when you get back with it.

They do alot of test and tune development and all there numbers are whp. Xrunner should be laying down mid 300's to the the wheel with the FI set up on mild tune and boost. Go for it!

Rich

Thanks........I got the sense that they were ok from the forums also. I'm just not up to speed with Toyota products yet.

I have installed a few of there parts for a customer. I would recomend them to others. Only issue I had with there stuff, was the anodizing on one of there pulleys had to be machined off for a proper fit. They are easy to deal with.
