TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I’m running the URD stealth pulley. What do you recommend? 2.85

 

i reccomend a 2.5 pulley.

 

Lol, right! I haven’t done too many upgrades, just the fuel system. Maybe in the future now that I’m out of warranty

 

Alright fellas! Dropped off the hose at HPS today. Had a little chat with Gerald, and he showed me around the facility. They got some cool stuff goin on in there.

He's going to scan the hose and send out the file to the manufacturer, somewhere in Europe. Then about 1.5 months, he will take my truck for a test fit. He did mention a group buy for both upper and lowers could happen. I also mentioned that it would be great if he could modify the design for a simpler fit. Perhaps making the horizontal part, before the 90 deg bend, longer and drop it right into the radiator.

If anyone has a better design, let me know.

 

great news man!

 

It's the ONLY belt which works well for our setups. For some reason any other belts seem to get too stressed which leads to early cracking on them even in the 3.0 OE pulley setup.

Very nice man! I would love to see a much different design for the lower hose on our trucks. I feel like it has been horribly made and you can tell it was an afterthought in comparison to all the other hoses. A silicone, properly made design specifically made for our application would be the most ideal thing here and the end all solution.

 

@12TRDTacoma , or anybody, when you have time, can you take a picture of the lower radiator hose in your engine bay? So I can send it to Gerald as a reference, compared to my OEM hose?

 

nice! I could only imagine 529hp in the truck. Does it feel like 529 hp?

 

I sure can. Although I have a giant bar in the way, so I may not be able to get the best picture for you. I'll try to get it for you and send you what I got regardless though.

 

oh yes! that would be rad. I almost bought the upper/lower the other day but felt there may be a GB in the horizon.

 

It wont be for a few more months tho.

 

ah well damn. But not likes its not NEEDED. Only thought was when I drain and install what better time to spend more money and swap to HPS ha. Get me that hose.

 

Man, Ive got 6 gallons of coolant for all the hose swapping I did. Im glad its coming to an end, once HPS makes us a good product.

 

that will be me too I’m sure. I figure I’ll just swap the fluid.

 

So, You never worked on a BMW then.
Safety, safety, safety, efficiency, more power.

 

All I read in that sentence was,

"So, You never worked on a BMW then.

Junk, junk, junk, garbage, more junk."

 

Evenin gents. Does anyone in here know what terminal ends i would need to install a new throttle body female connector? The clip broke off on mine today.

Found the connector itself, but not sure what i need to install the wires into the new connector. Also need to figure out the little insulators that go around the wires in the plugs

Connector: 90980-12651

 

If I’m reading this right all you need to do is press on retainer clips and remove wires from old connector. This can be done with a paperclip or a small pick tool. The wires slide out pretty easily. Plug in same slot as the old connector. If your wires are all mixed up and don’t know the order I can check my wiring book when I get home.

 

Bought the gates K080702HD for the supercharger and sliced off 3 ribs... installed it, did a couple pulls then this happened

 

I have a spare engine harness that I used in part to make my bench flashing harness. I have the full throttle body connector. Would you like it along with the pigtails?
