I'm all for Supercharger - more partical - more affordable.

I'm sure they'll Turbo it though... Nissan and Nismo are known for their excellent turbos. I don't know how well this engine will handle it however. It'll be interesting non-the-less.

 

SCs cost just as much as turbos. I'm not sure what you mean by partical. Also, any boost being run on turbos wouldn't exceed whatever the 9-10 psi that SCs would be running, so engine life between the two wouldn't be different (hopefully, both long).

 

According to the nissan dealer here, that disclaimer is on most of the nissan vehicles manuals including the pathfinder!

Turbo pathfinder???? I think NOT!!!!!

 

Will the Supercharger even be worth the money? I have never put an after market Supercharger or turbo on a car and was wondering if it will be a nightmare to maintain. Also what are the chances that the engine will blow up with a supercharger compared to a turbo?

 

TRD does make a supercharger for the Solara V6, Tacoma/4runner V6, and T100 I4 and they are all covered under warranty. I also believe the Tundra has a S/C option too.

 

Is it worth the money? Well that depends on you. You're going to have to maintain both or you'll run into problems. Chances are, both a SC or a TC developed for are cars will run no more than 10psi. The engine doesn't know the difference so there's no one that safer than the other. It's a common misconception that SC's are very reliable and turbos are not. They're both reliable if you maintain them. They both will give you a serious headache if you don't.
