TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Well, during the depths of winter here in Northern Canada, on the 2.825" pulley I was getting an extra 2psi... which means I might get another... 4psi now?! Good thing the intake charge is -30 degrees when that's happening.

 

Crazy basterd huh.

What did he have going on with it? What sort of power or times or both was he throwing down?

 

He traded his soul to the devil for good times. He was running only the 2.7 pulley, bolt-ons, lightly ported blower with E85 when he ran 12.7 and clocked 3.7 0-60. My best so far is 5.2 0-60 and I'm near maxed out in terms of parts to throw at it and out of modding ideas, I've still yet to toss in the meth kit and the 76mm throttle body tho.

 

I remember this vaguely. If he took full advantage of the 4x4 for an excellent launch, I could see that being possible. I thought he was running a Rotrex blower though.

 

He went Urd mk3 afterwards, the rotrex c38-91 to be exact, which I had as well. It brought his 0-60 up to 4.4 I believe, he then blew something or other and sold his truck for a 370z.

 

Aswerty on YouTube.

Started with the TRD, then later did the URD kit.

 

Ha. When you consider mods to make our trucks that fast, the 370z is half the price and twice as fast I suppose.

 

Disintegrated a rod at the drag strip, with the TRD blower.

 

I saw him before then. Yeah but URD doesn't count because this is all based upon the TRD supercharger and comparing something like twin screw, or centrifugal vs roots is like comparing apples, to oranges, to tomatoes. The base engine might be the same, but the method of boost development is very different across all boards in those instances.

 

But can it also go off-roading, climb over minuscule curb stops, and and Forge through flood waters?

 

Right, partially caused by too high a rev limit iirc?
He sold the truck with a reman engine with the mk3 kit on.

 

Or survive a zombie apocalypse..we all know it's gonna happen. Which vehicle would you rather be in, you choose.

 

Correct.

 

Dear God haha

The APRx1 e85 tune was/is nasty for the TRD blower and a 6200 redline. With a built forged internals sleeved engine it could top out at 7K. Does Deathshadow have the top 40-90 to this day for TRD blowers?

 

SUPER WERTY on YouTube I believe. Watched his video's year and years ago.

 

0-60 is hard to do with a 6 speed cuz of junk tranny. I’ll try to get mine next year. I love the 30-100 pulls

 

Speaking of which, this arrived today. I am going to need to reduce the sleeve that came with it down as accommodates double bearings just fine but with the inner sleeve of the tensioner arm already in place I need to cut down the supplies sleeve in half. Shouldn't be difficult to do. You can see the huge size difference between 3" OD and 2" OD pulleys in these pictures.

 

The NST TRD overdrive pulley set was a kit that included a new fan pulley and smaller tension pulley otherwise nothing would fit. I agree the quick change pulley is the way to go. But a much lighter overdrive pulley for our TRD blowers is nice
