TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Look at the pic that was posted.....did you do the added nipple under the cap like in the pic? Or does your just have an inlet and outlet?

 

These things are awesome! This one, along with a 170' tstat, did great things for my GT500.

+1 to all of this.

 

Das haut!

I think we are all forgetting that the Mustang blowers that these aftermarket upgrades are made for are built for a different theory of operation blower. Whipple and TVS blowers physically produce more heat so intercooling for those over a roots blower are much more critical to reduce charge temps, as twin screw design produces more heat than roots does.

 

Very true brotha. But cooler temps always produce more power. Like a slender girl jogging. She might not have to, but it's a nice sight.

 

I have the extra nipple. It’s for an overflow and I have a hose now that runs out behind the inner fender.

 

Mr. Scaramanga?

 

Hhmmm, wouldn’t you want that capped off and for it to be a closed system like it is now?

 

At 112° OAT Going up a mountain in a headwind with 5 psi boost for 5 to 10 mins I had 200° pre intercooler and 140° post intercooler temps. 60° delta is pretty good for our little intercooler.

 

My sensor is in the coolant tank.

 

I got the little port because the old one leaked and I thought maybe it needed an overflow. I remember swapping emails with Figg regarding that. Now I think it would be fine without it. It’s worked fine.

 

The figs can has a normal radiator cap right? So it needs the overflow port open to be able to allow high pressures to vent. The ford style cap that comes stock has both a pressure relief and a vacuum relief. I think we have the old style caps. Ford released a newer version that fixed a lot of the leaking issues that the first one had. Here’s a new versus old for those that care. I have not tried one these for the record, but might be nice to try.

 

I wonder if he has a sense of humor...

 

If you're referring to the white car maybe.

 

It is a normal cap. You can order the reservoir with and without the overflow.

 

Ok. Not faster than an M4. Holy crap. That thing can move.

 

My recent project which was mostly done two hours at a time when my kid was napping on weekends lol.

Battery relocation to back of rear passenger seat

Which led to relocating catch can (which I may tweak or move again), installation of a remote jumper station under hood, new larger aluminum intercooler reservior and higher flow pump and Roostfactor's pulley wrap mod.

 

And he has snow!

 

Yup, we had a huge dump a month ago already and then nice weather for three weeks and some snow started flying the last couple days. Drifting season!

 

Did you tie onto the original battery cables or replace them from the starter too?
