TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Yeah, except this one is all BMW. It is a Z4 with different badges and front bumper. Even coming out the BMW plant. BMW wanted hybrid technology so they made a deal. Toyota would give them hybrid technology if BMW built them a sports car for 3 years. Lots of manufactures strike deals and work together, but this is just not right to take the heritage of the Supra nameplate and put it on someone else's car. At least work together and have a mix of the two companies like the BRZ/FTS/86. Or like Toyota did with the new Yaris iA, give it a new badging. The iA is a Mazda 2, but they don't call it a Toyota Levin!

 

Just looked at pictures. Two of the same.

Imagine if Ford and GM did that with the Mustang and Camaro......

 

My mind was not blown. Last real car they themselves made that was awesome was the lfa. Now that was an badazz car.

 

No, it's just dirty and doesnt pool or flow well.

Any coatings on metal like zinc plating creates havoc and sometimes hazardous fumes.

 

So whats the consensus on Denso part # to replace the bosch (from @12TRDTacoma 's linked list)? Are Denso sensors 234-5116 and 234-5137 the same sensor but with different lengths of wiring?
Looking at replacing my bosch as well.

 

glad im not the only one who thinks it. its a new look e85 z4 coupe is all. and fugly at that imo

 

Can it keep up with the GTR? If that 90’s Japanese sports car rivalry is already off to a bad start then I see no point in the Supra. Even if Toyota made the Supra half the price of the GTR I still see no point. All I see is a new platform that they’ll put a “L” badge on and charge double for it.

 

Check my link. I state the desired one which works best based off our cab configuration without having too much slack left over to tie up if running it to the end of the Y pipe.

The difference is ultimately price, and wiring length. The one which I recommend from what I recall correctly was the cheaper and most length desirable option of the rest of the bunch.

It requires breaking a tiny tang inside the connector but that is easy if you have a set of needle nose pliers or even a small flathead screwdriver.

That’s what happens when you get old and have to squint your eyes. “Perfect”

 

Need that old man emoji, with the beard and the cane.

 

Today, that shall be me.

 

Hey guys would like to introduce myself and hopefully get some answers or responses on what I’m trying to do! I have a 4x4 trd sport w/ trd supercharger and intake/ exhaust. What’s the most affordable and reliable way to get it to 400-450hp? Most important I plan on doing a 2.5 or 2.7 pully and a 7th injector. Then I was thinking also upgrading Fuel System, Thermo, MAF, blow our valve and maybe some other important stuff? If I go to a tuner after doing these installs would he be able to give me the same or better tune than the stage 2 piggyback ecu? Also open to changing over to e85 or e30/91 tuning and adding eventually doing long tube headers. Realistically I’m trying to get my best boost for my buck. I’m ready to pull the trigger really soon if I feel confident I’m on the right set up.

Thanks!

 

This should be interesting haha

I think after the 400’s you have to start swapping internals so you’re not throwing rods out the bottom, etc.

I’m no expert at that level though, there should be plenty to chime in

 

400+ I'd worry about internals no?

 

Someone owes someone coke

 

“Samsies” haha

 

This is just getting weird now . . .
