TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

It’s a good point,

Don’t cancel your order yet. Since @12TRDTacoma was just there putting his tensioner on, he has a better idea of how it should fit.

 

I may. I need to slow it down on the mods though. I've spent about 1k a month for the past few months.

 

Another footnote, the Steeda should not require additional spacing of the idler pulley, as the base of the unit is still stock thickness, unlike mine which was 1/8" thicker overall since the Thump unit is a fully designed billet piece.

As always, check for proper spacing before running the setup. Mount the new unit and eyeball the lineup of the crank pulley and tensioner idler pulley. We are crossing into custom territory here and proper fitment is never guaranteed.

 

When you get to $1k/month for 24 months is when you need to start thinking about seeing someone to talk about your problem. So I’d say you’re good.

 

I was just thinking that’s probably where I am. The first step is acknowledging that you have a problem. Or something.

 

I've had my truck since xmas. Mod budget exceeds rent and grocery expenditures.

 

I didn’t add it up, but I can estimate and it’s probably more than that.

 

It's like calculating my former beer budget. Some math is best not known.

 

Is it wrong that I work as a dealer tech, but still go to Discount Tire to get tires fixed?

 

Nope. Is it wrong that stores dont stock maf sensors, yes.

 

But I bet they have a fully stocked shelf of MAF cleaner.

 

Tried that. If anything things got worse. Yes, I was gentle and followed directions. Damn.

 

Just order one from rockauto. They have lots of choices.

 

@o0opackersfano0o if this chart is to be believed it looks like the GM sensor has a different resistance/temp relationship than the Toyota.

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. Trying to find a screw in toyota iat. Or maybe even a yamaha one. I would think that would be the best bet

 

Fascinating stuff. Sounds like a great mod actually. Would this be installed after the intercooler?

 

Perhaps a Lexus or scion one??? Idk if they separate them like that but it’s all Toyota

 

Well shit...

Selling some stuff if anyone is interested. CAI, AFR gauge, etc

 

Denso only. Anything short is a gamble in quality and you dont want to gamble when you are boosted.
