TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Spacing out the idlers is a band-aid. You're still misaligned with the crank pulley. You need to press the hub on further. See my posts in the quick change pulley thread and group buy thread.

 

Will definitely take another look in there. Thanks for the heads up man!

Thank you good sir! Will definitely be doing this tonight

 

In my case the belt was riding all the idlers fine, I spaced out the one idler as an insurance policy because I didn't like the belt contact pattern which was more towards the edge than the middle, which theoretically could wear out the bearing early due to improper side load (as minimal as it was). I had the same thing going on with all my other previous blower pullies also which showed due to the previous markings on the idler, so this was something that needed to be done which I didn't notice until I did the qwikchange simply because I was being particularly careful since this was new and unexplored territory on our trucks.

I have had zero issues since I've had the setup and I've been running it for a very long time.

 

We've already seen quite a few inconsistencies with the Pulley Boys setup. Rob's hub may have been different from the four that I've installed.

The important things are that the belt lines up as close as possible to where it was with the stock pulley, and that you machine the snout back enough to clear the smaller pulley.

In the case of the ones that I've done; .175" beyond the tip of the blower shaft resulted in pretty much perfect belt alignment.

 

Thanks for posting, i was just about to ask for a couple pics. Getting ready to push mine on the rest of the way

 

Pic I saved from here

 

I must had just gotten really lucky with mine to not have to monkey with it too much.

 

I want the pulley boyz 2.6! Might have a convenient 2.7 buy though. Decision decision.

 

Cost vs benefit analysis required.

 

Benefit - cost = fuck it
(B-C=FI)

 

Spoken like a professor genius.

 

Damn. That was some PHD shit right there.

My mind has been enlightened.

 

Professor questionable decision is probably more accurate.

 

Just accept the complement!

 

Lol thank you Roost! Can do will do!

 

I'm thinking like @Biscuits. My biggest issue is finding help that has time. Guy that was supposed to help install headers only has 7 fingers and 2 thumbs now. So, hes out.

 

Whoa WTH?

 

He cut his middle finger off at work. I told him to grow a pair. Not like he cant still work a socket wrench
