TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

M45 A series on smoothflow site

 

Don't ask me how I know

 

I wouldn't run a thinner pulley either. It opens the door for explosion under boost. And that would be ugly.

You can run a 69.5 with a JFR. It should absorb the half inch slack the longer belt has. Just don't try that on a RPM series belt. Not that they offer them in a 69.5 anyway.

 

what lengths does rpm offer?

 

you have one on the shelf.

 

did you need additional snout trim for a 2.3?

 

yore not at max rpm on the blower. douse it with mth to make you're air charge blance.

 

Yes. Have to grind the circumference down until the pulley fits. There is a snap ring holding a bearing dust shield in place. One metric c hair of thickness will surround the snap ring. Or alternatively, Athlaos chopped that section right off like a viking

 

no snatch ring?!? oh no. she might run wild. no good.

 

My Smoothflow pulleys with RIP Mod have been $50/ea, shipped. They are beautiful, naked aluminum (with NO LOGO) that can be run as-is, painted, or powder coated.

Don't waste time with email or wandering around the site. Just call Nate and tell him what you want. He'll invoice you and you'll have pulleys in your mailboxes within a few days of payment.

 

69 and 70.5 the 70.5 comes in 5 rib as default. 69 requires a belt rib removal.

 

It won't run wild. You just have to be careful is all. It's simply a dust shield but it's better to have it in place.

 

I've been quite good at cutting belts. just want to know I have the right one. just got my green belt ready to go now rpm is the new rage. shit.

 

I wish I had the money for a Paxton and internals to match. I'd love to spend lottery sized bucks making Maserati my sevrant.

 

This thing weighs almost nothing

 

servant. we are like minded in this respect .

2.3?

 

2.3.

 

I may do so as well if I end up with a spare and cant figure out the TRD flash on my own. =)

 

man you guys are nuts. there won't be a pulley soon a enough its getting so small. Here I am going back and forth on going straight to 2.5 or 2.8 from the 3.0 out of the gate and here you guys are going even smaller.

Cheers to you crazy folks.... (time will only tell..)

 

Since you guys re generally pretty helpful. I have some loud squeaking going on in the front left of my truck (suspension or brakes). I am pretty sure its brake related as when I lightly press the brakes it goes away. I am guessing a rock or some dust could be lodged in there causing a loud squeaking noise when the truck is moving. Anything else I should check? if its any CVs or bearings will be a good time to check.

I am getting ready to swap on some Wilwoods so timing works out.
