TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I bought boost juice. Dont. Blue washer fluid with 2- 12oz bottles of heet gas dryer is the same. DONT USE ANY OTHER COLOR WASHER FLUID. This makes 50/50 like boost juice. Straight blue is 30/70, totally fine as well. Just slightly less octane.

 

I'm not the only one @Torspd

 

Mainly throttle response also more wot powah. For you NOOB if you rock crawl and or do slow/technical stuff it might not be what you want. On/off throttle is more sensitive to input. A 70mm may be perfect for your needs.
I got mine cheap and may have other plans to enlarge the rest of the intake so I can take full advantage of the larger tb.

 

Ah, that makes sense. Well, if you sell your 70, let me know

 

"May" have other plans...

I like where this is going

 

Shhh. They'll hear you.....

 

Im going to a metal warehouse today. I want to look at big pipe

 

I only have stock and 76mm.

 

I've been in a mental warehouse forever!

 

Well, THAT’s inconvenient.

 

Question- whats the point of a fuel pressure gauge? You either have stock (insufficient) or aftermarket (plenty). It seems like a needless expense. Thanks

 

I think you are talking stock or aftermarket fuel pump. Both will supply the same pressure because it's the fpr that determines fp, not the pump. BUT, if the fuel demand (injectors) exceed the output of the stock pump then fp will drop. When that happens less fuel is injected and you run lean.
Even with a higher capacity pump over time the filter can start getting clogged restricting flow. Fuel pressure gauge is just insurance to make sure you can see what's going on with fp and you can catch it if it starts to drop under high fuel demand situations.

 

Every gauge is useful in some way. Look at this engine instrument cluster from a C-130. Each engine has it's own set of gauges. 4 engines wither each engines gauge set displayed vertically.

I know its comparing apples to oranges but the point is you can never have too many data points to troubleshoot potential problems.

 

Yes, i meant pump. I see, a check on the fuel filter and injectors. I thought having an afr gauge would do the same info. Fuel gauge is more specific. Thanks

 

Point well made on gauges sir. If only my cockpit had that kinda room.

 

This is why military avionics guys/gals hate life

 

I got fuel pressure gauge because I did the fpr mod and it’s running boost reference now. And I wanna keep track of it at wot.

 

That makes sense.
Also if someone got an adjustable fpr it would come in real handy.

 

I literally do not know of anyone else with an adjustable fpr, besides myself.

 

Maybe not here, but what about in XRU?
