TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

That's an affirmative. Haven't replaced mine yet but will be in the near future.

 

i changed mine when things went south a few months back. it takes some time.

 

what else (other than the SC tension pulley) did you have to remove to replace the engines belt?

 

i think, that was it. i just had a big mess to deal with. broken belts. you should be fine. definately easier with two people.

 

Makes it easier to unbolt fan if I recall. Mine lasted 100k. Changed both belts when I replaced the water pump. SC belt started to crack at 25k.

 

I take the fan and shroud off whenever I gotta do pulley related stuff.

 

fan, tensioner pulley, support bracket to a/c compressor and that should be it IIRC.

 

Brilliant, thanks all!

 

aFe Twisted Steel headers. I know, I know. First set blew the guts out. aFe sent me a replacement pair. It would be a gamble to reinstall.
Has anyone with the S/C had long term success with these? Mine were <20K mi. The other failures that I have found were all running a S/C. I believe aFe is sourcing the cats from magnaflow. I have not found any info on whether or not they have tried to remedy.
It's killing me having new headers sitting on the shelf while I am back on the stock manifolds. Haven't found anyone to take them off my hands, not many modded Tacos in these parts.

 

Did you notice power gains with the headers?

 

I think so. It was not substantial, these have "hi-flow cats". But now I am going to be going from the 2.825" to a 2.6" pulley and want to get all I can. If I could sell them I would go for some long tubes.

 

Someone else had them, don’t think he was boosted. His lasted like 5k.......don’t remember his name

 

go long tube!

 

I've considered having tubes welded internal to the catalytic cavity in the failed set, but the cost would probably not justify the effort. aFe was easy to deal with. Not sure if that is the norm, or if they have had a plethora of returns on these?

 

if its not stock id put removable v-band clamps for easier replacements. i have long tubes and love em'

 

Who is planning on doing the lightened crank-pulley along with the SC pulley from NST? How does it work in with going smaller pulleys? Still trying to wrap my head around all the pulleys.

 

Anyone running JBA headers? Saw that they have some CA exempt setups and seems can run them without dealing with flack of non CA approved setups.

run longtubes brotha.
