TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Imo a better investment would be the fmic (maybe with a pusher fan?)/internal heat exchanger and pump. You can try a coil method with ice or water to get similar results.

 

Yes a bigger intercooler would be awesome! Any ideas how to accomplish that? Plenum spacer?

 

That could be a solution but then you need to factor belt length, stretch, alignment, etc. I was thinking more along the lines modifing the casing like adding a step to accommodate the larger exchanger. Kinda like where you cut the oil pan on a rb26 and weld in a extension for more oil. Again just theory. Hood Will be the limiter in both cases.

 

I meant a spacer between sc and sc intercooler lid. It would increase plenum volume though. I haven't done any research to determine if the added plenum volume would negate performance.

 

i was thinking 3/4" aluminum stock miter cut in sections similar to the lid. weld them together, grind to exact size, and drill press holes. height could be the next convienient size radiator found.

 

That would seem to be an easier method.

 

Yup. A motorcycle radiator plumbed in series with a second pump. It's a smaller pump though, so I am considering upsizing the additional one.

 

Let's see what you got. Any pictures?

 

I'll have to dig through them when I get home. I think I took some when I first installed it.

 

No black Friday deals on CM or Spec.... maybe cyber monday?

 

Here ya go.

Just saying...

 

If it was a noticeable difference then go mad max style and cut a section of hood

 

I wont worry as much soon enough.

 

Sick. What kit did u get?

 

keep me posted on your settings.

 

Also interested in what youre gonna run @Roostfactor

when i had my 2.3 on, i used boost only to control the spray and had it start at 8lbs with full spray at 10lbs. UCon cuts about 15% fuel on the WOT adaptive

 

Kind of a Frankenstein kit. I am going to do some testing for them and us since I can monitor intercooler temps. If all goes well I MAY be able to provide a small ?? discount to the homies here.

Will do! I have the stage 3 controller and plan to control two stages with this controller. I currently have a #2, #3, and #5 nozzle.
I need to get my boost and afr hooked up to my HPtuner to be able to accurately test/tune the system but I am excited!
5 gallons of pure meth in metal container in hand ready to work!

 

Good to know, thanks!

 

I always thought #5 nozzle was too much spray. But I only used a boost controller. I never went over a #3 cause of the meth/water deposits at the throttle body. So how much better is the stage 3 vs stage two from snow. I like the stage 2 better cause it’s stealthier and not on the dash.
