TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I cant answer that without guessing.... so i wont.

I highly reccomend a wideband regardless tho. You have no idea how the truck is running in realtime. Bullydog tune has been all over the place and even the trd tune isnt perfect. Trd tune USUALLY leaves ppl rich which may cost hp, but is safer. Without a proper gauge tho, well as you seem to understand your flying blind.

 

But until I get a wide band sensor, it’s better to run on boost referenced because it should run richer instead of leaner, which means is safer, right?

 

Lesser of 2 evils.

If u have cats, they wont be happy if overly rich.

 

I plan to have both.

 

Too rich will wash the cylinders walls of lubrication and too lean engine goes !
That's why Mr. Customs said lesser of two evils.

 

Did the stage 3 URD right after the blower, now I am spec U heavy flywheel and stage 2, I also deleted the "clutch fluid accumulator" and did the URD sleeve repair at 5k

That sucks, and what it appears to be.. i am 15

That is my hope for the future, was planning on UCON for a long time, but I think OV is more promising at this point.

 

Why did you change clutches

 

For those of you who had their wideband fail, what were the symptoms?

 

Pinned at 14.7 i need a new one and it will be my 3rd one

 

Was not happy with the chatter and jerky lockup on the stage 3, went to a stage 2.

Next time I am going to go with another brand, the 2nd URD came with a competition clutch sticker. I have never liked that company. That and both URD clutches had really poor powder coat job's. They claim improved clamping and higher lift, but side by side with the OEM pressure plate it looks identical just with a flakey powder coat job.

I would have gone with the centerforce, but they don't have a clutch set that is specific and I did not want the gamble.

The URD pressure plate, in adition to flaking powder coat I had to clean the bolt holes out because they were not clearanced to work with the bolts. On first install I did not look close enough and it torqued down without seating all the way.

 

Also, the heavy flywheel looked great except I could not find any evidence of balancing. I have not noticed a problem, but it bugs my brain.

Pretty machined 42lb chunk of steel, no drill marks or any evidence I could see of a balance job. I put it on anyway because of how much it cost, and needed to get on the road.

 

On my 3rd. I tried a different one. One that is on the first page. It works but not as responsive as the original.

 

Stock pressure plate at 6, great shape just could not hold the powerstock disk


Totally unrelated, brackets I made for my bed
And the bed, please ignore the mess lol

 

Hm thanks. Mine is "floating" - it'll move from 10.x to 11.x and a bit higher and then back down. Maybe it's a symptom of belt slippage, but as I'm minutes away from replacing the belt, I'll know more in a few hours.

 

Which brands? My Innovate displayed "E".

 

PLX with Speed Hut gauge.

Denso sensors, aem gauge

 

Thanks.

Mine are not so fancy. I measure the water temp in the surge bottle and the hose .

Yes the clutch reservoir is shared with the brakes.

 

Denso wideband AFR sensors for the gauges over Bosch AFR sensors ALL DAY LONG. That's all I'm going to say.
