TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I don’t know this. And now that you bring up head gaskets, has anyone had an issue in here? There’s a bunch of us pushing 10 psi now.

Also, I guess the x-runner forum is just dead? Are we the last hope of supercharged Tacoma’s?

 

Give that boost gauge a workout.

 

I guess everyone on Facebook xrunner group. I stay off the Facebook crap. I have a small group of xrunner guys around new England I hang out with. One trd supercharger with 2.8 pulley and the other is fully built motor sleeved and all with urd blower.

 

$110 overnight for $80 worth of parts later....Game on!!

 

Anybody know if a 2010 ECU flashed with a TRD SC tune will work in a 2014? I am tempted to just keep my N/A ECU and buy an extra ECU, but not sure what I need to check for interoperability.

I will find out Monday if I was able to shame my local dealer. I sat down with the service manager and senior master tech. They warned me they don’t install SCs, I said no problem. They said they won’t accept liability after they flash the ECU, no problem. They were afraid that I may not pass state inspection for other states I don’t even live in, I acknowledged their concern and said no problem. We shall see...

 

I think the plugs might be different. Plus, the 14 has SAI and the 10 does not.

 

Thank you. I completely forgot about SAI. I can’t wait for SAI delete options.

 

The '05-'06 have a known HG failure issue. Toyota made an update. I've blown both. Lol.


Here and FB. FB is just dumb though.

 

Lead time gripe, legitimate, and people jumping in telling everyone to get refunds before they are the next Pelfrybuilt. I have a close personal connection with them and I tried to reassure them that they are safe.

 

2008 WTF!!

 

So what boost we’re you at when they blew? 50-100 today was very nice. 10 psi without just hammering it.

 

Unfortunately, ECUs vary by year, model, engine, transmission, etc, so I'm skeptical it would work.

Sounds like a lot of double-talk from the dealer. Mine also said they wouldn't warranty the S/C tune. Almost two years later, I've had ZERO problems. Unless they screw-up the flash, which seems pretty difficult since Techstream will only install the year-, model-, engine-, transmission-specific tune over a correctly identified baseline tune (also specific to the year, model, engine, transmission, etc.), I don't see much to go wrong.

 

That is an overhyped failure. The only Taco that was 05/06 that I have ever seen with a blown head gasket (it was incredibly mild at that) was on one that had some 341,000+ miles. Most other cars don't even make it to 200K before the gaskets blow or the engine/ tranny takes a dump on them. I'd say that is pretty solid performance out of an engine as a whole.

 

10+ psi turbo. GT35. Tad too much timing.

 

I sent a rod through the oil pan of a 454. No boost required.

 

Anyone know if there is any desired orientation of the j-extensions for the rear o2's?

 

You want the o2 sensor to face at a downward angle to prevent condensation buildup.

 

Gotcha. Makes sense.

 

Just like this......

 

Well, almost.
