TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

They're both aftermarket, but stock size. Don't be a hater, it's the only pic I have. Guy on MUD is going for some serious boost with new ECM, etc. on the 1FZ.

 

1FZ is the diamond in the rough. Even LS guys know this....

 

Can't wait til I have the bucks for an engine build!

 

Blow yours up and I bet you find a way.

 

Hey, has everybody been checking the coolant flow in your reservoir tanks....to make sure the pump is working??

 

I did about a year after the dealership installed my s/c and found out that it wasn't. They never put the fuse in the holder. So I didn't have that going for about a year and the dealership got an earful of complaints and a complaint to corporate Toyota

 

I have many times. Then I got the leak and I did it more often.

 

I always hear it randomly turn on whenever I am checking the truck or doing some work to it. Sometimes makes me jump a little when you don't expect it and it kicks on.

 

The motor spinning is not a safe way to ensure the coolant is flowing.

 

This man knows this well.

 

sadly

 

Yeah I was just curious if anyone else has had it pop up

 

How do you check to see if it is flowing? Just open up the reservoir to see if there is fluid moving around?

 

That works for me, it should swirl vigorously.

 

Not good. Yet pump is running

I can hear it flowing through the lines.

I also open it up to check the level every now and again cause of the minor leaks with the plastic reservior and see the swirling if it happens to kick on

 

I've notice that a few hours after turning the truck off the s/c coolant pump comes on, I think cause it is connected to the same circuit that the evap pump is on, so went the the pump in the canister goes on for the test, the s/c pump goes on.
Not sure if for a specific reason or just a coincidence?

 

I don’t understand what’s the purpose, probably nothing.

I took the power for the IC pump from elsewhere.

 

anyone still in contact with Scott per UCON stuff? Had a question for him just to get another opinion. feel free to shoot me a PM if you either wonna give me the info or pass on 1 question for me (more or less to just verify something). Thanks!
