TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

And once you put exhaust cam gears in is it safe to run the redline to 6200? Or does it even make power up that high?

 

Fuel to the fire... l’m liking the looks of this rabbit hole.

 

Don't really know. There is one guy with an X-Runner whom has mirrored my build. His is making over 700 whp with twin turbo.

 

Look in my N/A Dyno thread. With the proper supporting mods, it does. These heads flow very well. Even with OEM cams.

Only N/A, is it "safe" to run that RPM on a stock engine. It is harder on the rods though. MUST have a great tune.

Mine is plenty capable of that RPM. Current cams pick up more HP at the last 1k of the range. Without the VVT-I, it is just a dog down low though. Swapping back for "testing purposes". I know for a fact, it will make the big bore Goldylocks block even look less impressive. With that one, I very quickly made a Hellcat owner shocked, as my truck, with 350 lbs giddy passenger, pulled away.

 

The two weak points oh my stroker engine, are the 11 mm head studs, and the block itself. Component strength alone,the block is built for 2000 horsepower.

 

Ok. I’m in. But damnit, do I play with the 80 first? Bad @Torspd! Is the 700 hp guy running an auto?

 

How dare someone build a 700 hp and be an auto! X-runners are all manuals!

 

Well, I’m not converting. 750 better be stronger than I think it is.

 

Regardless, the tranny needs to be stout for that kind of power to the wheels

 

He's running a built T56 Magnum. Which is literally next on my truck's list.

 

Oh I get that.

You guys saw all this come together on the xrunner forum. The 4wd guys are behind. I love haulin ass in a lifted Tacoma with big wheels/tires.

The guy in the bmw today just didn’t have what it takes to keep up with a Tacoma loaded with mulch.

 

With the Raybestos upgraded clutch packs, the 750 transmission can hold between 600-700.

 

That’s the claim. But has anyone tested it on a tacoma yet? So are you still running a twin disc clutch @Torspd

 

@Lucario Runner is, with the valve body upgrade. He knows his stuff. As far as testing it though, I cannot say.

Yes sir, I am still. Rated for 1K.

 

Cams and some original 1UZ fatty connecting rods would be cool. Can’t help but feel it would be a waste of time without some twin turbo setup though. Don’t have the time for that kind of fab time.

 

Well 15K isn’t too bad for a 1GR-FE compared to most brand new crate engines handling 1k hp. Of course if you buy one fast enough.

I think I'll just have to be happy with the little power gains I can make here and there safety on my stock engine and SC. For $15k.... I could buy a whole other vehicle!
So I'll just keep modding this one and every night pray, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot boost; courage to boost the Tacoma I can; and wisdom to find the funds."

 

And I only say that because I can't afford it. lol If I had the cash available, a shop with a lift, and a sweet 1000hp crate engine.... then I would pray, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot mod; courage to chop and weld and cage and wheel and cannibalize the Tacoma I can; and wisdom to know when to stop."

 

It’s how I see things too. Rather have a land cruiser in my driveway than have maybe an extra 100 hp.
