TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Same. . . .

 

Exactly, what is right? I mean reading the factory sensors are seeing is what the tune responds too. But with the luck I have had with AFR guages and sensors. I did use the sensor that came with the guage though. The Bosch. I am going to put in the Denso that I ordered and did not work with Innovate guage and see what that sensor says in the AEM. It seemed to work great before it got really cold out. But has it ever worked great, and what is "actually" correct. Best I can do is use the uTune and watch the factory sensors and hope they are reading correctly.

 

Yep. This right here. Those Bosch AFR sensors are absolute trash.

 

Until I'm using ucon, which I probably will sometime I don't know. I do know my left and right banks are identical. Maybe put one denso in at a time and see what is.

 

My speedhut guage came with a Bosch sensor. Thought my AFRs were in the sweet spot back when I was on the 2.7 pulley. Once I got on a dyno, that sensor read AFRs almost 0.5 leaner. Wish I knew what sensor the dyno was using. Makes me want to see the difference with a Denso.

 

I will install the Denso and see if the readings off the uTune and the gauge get any closer together. Now I really hope the Denso sensor is still good since it was hooked up to the Innovate and worked for about 10 minutes and then was non detectable by the guage.

 

That's pretty weird. A functioning denso sensor quits shortly after connecting to that gauge? Doesnt sound good at all.

 

That's normal and also a common Innovate fallacy. They can't build a gauge to display your air fuel ratio correctly to save their lives. I've always trusted Denso brand, and it has to this day done me no wrong. Bosch and Innovate (more specifically the MTX-L) on the other hand...

I'm still running my AEM X gauge/Denso sensor combination after 2 years and it has yet to give me a glitch, ever.

 

I believe this needs to be the title of the thread. Or at least make it to the first post.

 

I approve of this message.

 

Then make it happen Mr OP. I’m a broke adult college student with a wedding to pay for and nothing constructive to contribute to this thread other than the occasional drunk shitpost.

And somewhere in the first few pages of this thread I challenged you to a race dammit. Come to northern AZ, I’ll prepare the track.

 

For both of our sakes I don't want to beat you. Please don't make me race you.

 

The track is ready when you are

 

I have a feeling the track is far from asphalt.

 

That was clearly stated in the original smack talk and he agreed. 1/4mile or so of 2-3’ whoops in cinders

 

I'm about 6k away in suspension for that. I fold.

 

My Truck may be faster on the pavement, even with my kings all around I still fold lol. I’ve seen this truck in the dirt and I don’t got shizz on it!

 

It would definitely be an interesting race that's for sure. Who wins, the dude with the LT, or the dude with the max effort MT and whinier blower?

 

It would be interesting. I’ve ran with even more LT guys, solo xlt and links with 5.29’s and 37’s and stock motor. He was dog slow to get going, but when I max out around 60-70, he can keep pulling.

Short track would favor you, long track me.

 

Yeah it would be interesting to see absolutely.

Of course all things put into perspective, nothing will be changing here until I get an engine cage as far as offroading goes. The truck is very capable but because it is my daily it is also hindered in its abilities for the time being because the core support bulkhead has been collapsing in on itself over the past couple of years.
