TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

hmm what would be the benefit of adding this compared to the supplied one?

 

ah ok I was thinking it was heavy and all good to hear it was the opposite. Im waiting for my other car to get back so I can dive in. Those cam gears sound intimidating but not impossible.

 

ha welcome! I saw on recently where they made a bracket that mounted tot he brace of the front bumper to the lift facing out. As long as its low enough you should be good. I need to figure that out as well.

 

NEVER Thought to mount it even lower. I have a Warn Zeon and Pelfrey good to know it fits although different winch

 

nice, how long was the install? I see you went smaller pulley any other fun go fast goodies while you were at it?

 

To all my homies on here. This is a really stupid question and I must had skimmed over that specific part of the instructions when I was doing it, but is there a bracket that helps you adapt one of the factory mounting locations on the air cleaner assembly to the supercharger itself?

There are two mounting locations to hold the assembly down and the one I am referring to is the one closest to the engine coolant overflow reservoir.

 

Not yet, I wanted to see how shifts felt with the 2.7 before deciding on any trans mods. Other goodies will have to wait until my CC stops smoldering. It was a big install weekend so its hard to gauge just the SC install, but 12-15 hours total.

My pump interfered with the winch initially, so I had to fab up a quick little mount to keep it out of the way, but below the grill line.

 

Benefit of adding figs or one of my design is bigger capacity, Better hose fittings so less likely it to leak and aesthetics

 

Out of the two bolts, one is rear bay driver side that bolts directly through into the SC body itself. The second one, which Inbelieve you are referring, is front passenger side closest to the overflow tank. There IS a small 1-1.5” flat bar bracket that shifts the mounting location further towards the passenger side. The stock air cleaner bolts onto the bracket and the bracket bolts onto the number 1 bank valve cover. Pictures below reflect both mounting points.

 

I feel like I overlooked this fact or it was legitimately never in the instructions... I have the flat bar but I could never figure out where it went or what it was used for. I appreciate it zipp! Thank you!

On the flat bar part where the blower is moved out to though do you have to thread a new nut on the bottom though?

 

Yes, M6 nut goes on the bottom of the bracket. Step 237-243, PG 64-65 in the instructions.

 

You are MVP for that. Thank you very much Zipp. You just like many others here are the MVP.

Just one more thing I can not have to worry about during reassembly for smog time in August.

 

Those are the wheels I want too. I have a set of FN Konig Counteer Offroads 16x8's in anodized bronze. Had to take them off and get 17's to clear the 5th gen T4R brake upgrade. So Icon Alloys Compressions in bronze now with a matching spare. And so want Countersteer X's! Miss having light wheels.

 

A day late, Happy birthday boost brother. Hope you had yourself a great day!

 

Sure did!! Thanks man

 

Yup at the crank

 

Lol
I measure from the spine sooo.......

 

Not supercharger related. But I have no one else to talk to or vent except my boostered friends here.

Developed some bad clunking in my suspension. Ghuu. I really don't feel like fixing that right now. I'm going to take it to someone to get diagnosed so I know exactly what the problem is before I buy parts, since I have a really bad record with diagnosing suspension noise. I already have some new dampers and a stiffening kit that I designed myself, so that's good at least.
