Has it blown up yet?

[@CodyShell]

@@curtisjohnston6649 I've put around 20k miles on it with the SC, runs great!

[@LoudMercury]

Excited to see more videos on this keep up the good work Cody, and nice score~

[@poohonmyspace]

I just went through all your videos on this. EXTREMELY helpful. I just bought the hella rare Alpine kit from Classiccity. I'll be putting it on soon after I get it.

[@CodyShell]

Good luck on the install!! And let us know how it goes!

[@promxrippa]

Where could i find one for my 6vd1 in australia??

[@off-roadventures9398]

I need this in my life lol and a manual swap 😂

[@CodyShell]

Keep your eyes peeled, maybe someday! Haha

[@wesdodson9391]

My 01 Trooper (manual) seems to be way down on power and the check engine light is always on, I had to block off the EGR because it kept clogging, and it burns oil. It only has 90k miles on it. I’ve been trying to make it run properly but have had no luck. You got any pointers to make it run without emissions or to get it where it doesn’t puke into the EGR.

[@CodyShell]

Hmm... My trooper burned oil bad when i first got it too (it has a reman motor now). At the worst i was burning a quart every 90 miles. There really was no remedy I ever could come up with to make it better. The cause being the oil drain back holes in the pistons between the rings get clogged up and then the oil burns instead of draining back into the crankcase. the rememdy is to have bigger and additional holes drilled in the new pistons. I have had issues too when my trooper runs like a dog. I always check the IAC valve, MAF sensor, and all the little electrical connections. Ive had to clean the port where the IAC goes into the throttle body before. I'd also not reccomend cleaning the IAC valve with carb cleaner, because its filled with grease and has little rotating gears inside that move the plunger in and out, carb cleaner will disolve that grease and the IAC will fail even sooner. When my would run bad and have no power it would only occur at part-throttle under 2500 RPM, if i floored it or ran the engine above 3000rpm it would feel normal. This always ended up being a vacuum leak or the IAC valve. I'd check or replace that. I'd also recommend smoke-testing your engine to see if you have any vacuum leaks. I actually had a bad throttle body 2 years ago, it was losing vacuum from where the butterfly valve pivots. Is your MAF sensor clean and hooked up? How old are your O2 sensors? Last summer i tuned mine up, new O2 sensors, replaced the MAF, new IAC valve, cleaned the EGR and it ran great. Anyway, as far as getting it running better without emisisons, i'm not too sure. my EGR system has never given me any issues. I've had to clean and replace the EGR valve once but that's it. You can try adding an oil catch can to your PCV system. I put one on mine and it catches quite a bit of oil. This at least keeps the intake a little cleaner and less cruddy. I'd say an oil catch can would help keep the junk out of your EGR and intake. Ive heard of remedys on the oil drain back holes... park the truck on an angle (driver side higher than passenger). pull the spark plugs. then dump marvel mystery oil, ATF, seafoam, or whatever cleaner you want into each cylinder, let it sit overnight. When the piston is at the bottom of its stroke hopefully the cleaner can eat away at the crud built up in the rings... Then repeat the process with every cylinder. crank the motor over with the plug out to blow all the excess liquid out. I never tried this myself, but couldn't hurt. For me rotell 15w-40 synthetic diesel oil burnt the least. Every 3rd oil change or so I'd clean the intake with seafoam. Run an entire can of seafoam in the oil for the last 200-ish miles of my oil before changing it... honestly none of these things ever worked for me, but you can try. If you can try cleaning the cylinders out with the method above, then try running seafoam or a quart of ATF in your oil directly you might be able to get things a little cleaner. This was just a huge brain dump, hopefully some of it will help!

Hi Cody, What motor are you running, the 6vd1 SOHC or DOHC? Did you need to have an adapter plate made up or did it come with the car. Looking at doing something similar to a pair down-under.

[@CodyShell]

I have the DOHC 6VE1, 3.5. It's an aftermarket intake manifold that bolts to the V6 and the supercharger on top. It's made by a company called Alpine, and they're from South Africa I think. Someone told me they got in touch with Alpine and they would be able to manufacturer a new kit. Not sure if that's entirely true, my kit was used

[@luisa.7021]

Think a supercharger like this could work on my 3.2?

[@CodyShell]

I think if the 3.2 was 1998 or newer, yes. The kind with DOHC heads. But I'm not 100% sure

[@luisa.7021]

@@CodyShell ah I see. Mines a 97 SOHC. Oh well >_

[@sketchyfabco]

Tell about anything that had to be done to make the ECU work with it. For example bigger injectors, raised fuel pressure, sensor swaps, etc.

[@CodyShell]

Will do! So far the only thing I've had to do is replace my MAF sensor, my old one must not be able to perform under increased air flow (im guessing). Haven't had to touch the ECU at all

[@westellmodel]

Its pretty likely that your engine is running lean if you don't make any fuel changes

[@naterally2176]

@@westellmodel wouldnt the engine light turn on because the O2 sensors would run hot? which the ECU should richen the mix?

[@westellmodel]

@@naterally2176 Making that big of a change will be too much for an ecu to compensate for.

TOP 10 I also liked to put in my ;)

[@Marcs-Adventures]

Hey Cody, That super charger knocked your mirror right off! LOL Your lucky, you got the newer blower nose cone. That is the quiet design one. I have the older one and it makes a ton of racket. That blower sure makes a difference doesn't it? Its like a totally different truck. When I drive Garrett's Trooper its like I am driving around in a go-kart power wise. :) Sorry Shifty!

[@CodyShell]

That's good to know about my blower nose! How can you tell mine is the newer kind? That's pretty interesting! Yeah, its a night and day difference, it really wakes it up. Especially since I have the 33s on my troop, it needs what ever help it can get!

[@Marcs-Adventures]

@@CodyShell The nose cone is smooth like a tube, the older version I have is a cast piece of aluminum with cooling fin line structure on the outside. I would like to replace it if i can find the other one. Check put the rebuild video that we did and you can see the difference. :) How much boost are you making?

[@CodyShell]

I will check it out! I'm actually not sure at all how much its making. I'm using the stock pulley for the kit, 4 inches I think? Which puts it around 4-5 lbs of boost? I think :P

[@zanefitch9343]

It’s so fast it blew the mirrors off! 😂

[@GridLineGo]

Music to our ears!!!

[@mehGyver]

My mirror glass came off, too. Nasty gooey crap that holds it on.

[@CodyShell]

yeah that stuff was gross! Kinda weird this was the one day it came off after owning my trooper for over 10 years! lol

[@bphillips06]

Where did you source the SC Kit ? I have 2002 that is in need of some more Tq. Hp due to towing a OVLD Camper set up . Nice work man . Nice Rig!

[@pennants12345]

do you know where i would be able to get the same supercharger kit with manifold? Thanks

[@CodyShell]

That's the tough part. I really don't know, I found my used kit from Classic City Overland. I would check with the Isuzu Trader facebook group, there may be some leads there. Otherwise this was very hard to come across. I almost came across it on accident, I saw classic city overland had a used unit for sale and i jumped right on it.

[@pennants12345]

@@CodyShell ok thank you Cody, ill buy yours if selling LoL.

[@Hibbard1986]

youll have to let me know how to fix that, i went to a junk yard and all the trooper mirrors are melting off.

[@off-roadventures9398]

Some marine grade silicone will fix that right up, it'll never come off again lol

[@aaronroby4905]

So how did and what supercharger did you use im interested looking to convert turbo to supercharger.

[@Mr5150Sarge]

Cody thanks for the great Trooper videos. I love my 99’ Trooper at 170k miles. What size tires are you running? I’m thinking of going up to 265/75R16’s on the stock rims. Thinking about a directional M/S tire this time. Thoughts?

[@CodyShell]

Thanks checking them out! I'm running 285/75R16s on the stock rims right now, basically 33s. I did have a set of 265s of my trooper for awhile, they were great! I know you can run the 265s without any lift, so thats a good deal. I had about an inch and a half of lift, maybe 2 inches with the 265s in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaq4d3uGopqBhpY

[@Mr5150Sarge]

@@CodyShell Thanks! Yeah I figured 265/75's were fairly safe with no lift on it. Love the videos, keep them coming! It's nice to see what my old reliable Trooper is capable of. Be nice to have the extra power you've got, but I'm happy.

[@bmo1221]

Good day mate I live in AUSTRALIA can you link me where you got your super charger from please

[@CodyShell]

It was used, i bought it from a guy who was actually selling two at the time. My best bet if you want one is to join the isuzu trader, and holden jackaroo isuzu4x4 facebook groups and wait till someone posts one for sale. There are a few still floating around out there!

[@Tims13ful]

What manifold did you use?

[@CodyShell]

It's a custom name intake manifold made by the company called Alpine developments

[@corywilliamsmith]

I want a super charger for mine

[@user-yv3vu1yb2k]

Is this the same v6 3.2 in the rodeo?

[@CodyShell]

It's not. The 3.5 is the same bore and longer stroke. Also has a dual overhead cams and a different intake manifold. I think for the most part they're pretty similar though

[@llblueli9080]

Can the supercharger work for my Isuzu 2.3L i want to make it into a sleeper

[@CodyShell]

Not this supercharger. this only works with the later model V6, the 3.2 or 3.5

[@sofianeboumahdi7388]

@@CodyShell how much cody can you build isuzu v6 600 horsepower

[@steffinmezger5301]

How did you tune it

[@CodyShell]

The stock 4.5 inch pulley that comes with this kit only creates a Max of 4.5 - 5 lbs of boost. With that little boost no tune is needed. The stock ECU and injectors can handle it, that's how mine is set up right now. I know once you go beyond 7 lbs of boost then you need to start tweaking things.

[@steffinmezger5301]

Cody Shell thanks for the info I was thinking about doing a small single rear mount turbo but I can find any info online about tuning the 3.2 I might just get a cheap eBay kit and see if I can keep it under 5 pounds of boost

[@CodyShell]

@@steffinmezger5301 some folks on the Isuzu Trader Facebook group might have since experience with turbos, I know I've seen them in 3.5s. Should be good! What year is your trooper? Is yours dohc?

[@steffinmezger5301]

Mine is actually a rodeo 2001

[@CodyShell]

@@steffinmezger5301 nice! You should look up overland_by_ebay on Instagram, he had a supercharged 3.2 rodeo. He's another good resource

How Many miles it you’re trooper have on it?

[@CodyShell]

230,000 on the clock right now, around 50,000 on the current engine
