TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Can do!!!

No I'm running a 2.3. It always lights my face up when I step on it.

 

so is it advised to run the jfr belt wrap with an rpm belt and 2.3? did you remove the hub to do further griding with your 2.3?

 

I didn't remove the hub I just did some angled cutting with the Dremel at the very edge of my snout. It turned out good and hasn't caused me any issues since.

I advise running an RPM belt and the Roush tensioner with a 2.3 setup. I don't advise an wrap mods unless you are running the oversized OE length 70.5" 5 rib RPM belt.

 

maybe i misunderstood. thought rpm didnt offer the correct length for a 2.5 or 2.3.

 

I’ll soon be running the JFR belt wrap mod with a stock belt size and a 2.7.

 

The RPM belt does not come in a 69.5" length which is the most ideal for a 2.5, but it does come in a 69" length which is perfect for the 2.3 pulley. You would have to cut off a rib, however.

 

hmmm.... guess im committed.

 

ha I mean the exhaust piping but man im still going back and forth on the 2.5 pulley.

 

following along it makes sense and why I was curious if the TRD was needed if you can swap it out or just lay the tune over it as you noted. Since I have the BD Mag tune on my already or go the route of techstream or second ECU to get the same result in the end.

 

Im running a 2.3 with the rpm belt and no wrap mods.. didnt have to remove the hub to grind it down further. I used a dremel as well like @12TRDTacoma and just took a little off at a time until the 2.3 fit good. I didnt want to remove the c-clip/dust seal thing, so i took my time

 

my main concern was metal shavings getting on the seal and shaft damaging things.

 

YA DO IT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE...

 

No issues here.. i didnt even cover up anything before trimming, just cleaned up the shavings afterwards

 

So you didn’t wrap up your shaft?

 

No sir, went straight for the massaging

 

Good idea. I think I will do the same. 2.3 is ordered, methanol injection kit on hand, billet fuel rails and most of supporting parts are ready to go.

 

This is good advice for all the youngins coming in here. Just go straight to the action. You’ll be alright.

 

Nice! Which water/meth kit did you go with?

Glad to see others jumping on board with the 2.3. TBH, i been kinda scared to drive the truck lol. Worried 12lbs of boost might be too much.. then again im paranoid since ive had issues in the past

 

same. i want to buy rods when im ready. dont want a five figure oops.

 

Honestly the 2.7 pulley and TRD tune runs so smooth not sure I need more
