TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

i doubt they would return it with a rib missing. how could i prove its not a correct length?

 

The parts store has no damn clue how many ribs are supposed to come on a belt. Especially if you bought it from O'Reilly Or Vatozone. Those guys are first class morons working the counter.

 

Where you get this bracket from?

 

Holley/ Flowmaster

I don't want to speak of it too much yet because I don't have a clear photo of what it looks like to share with you all, and I also do not know if it will work, though I see no reason as to why it wouldn't.

I also am not too sure everyone would be able to obtain it as I did unless they bought the intake kit and nobody wants to do that for the obvious reason of cost.

 

i bought mine at rock auto.
i have the spaceship mount for an airbox.

 

Oh hell, even more the reason why they would never know. I bought mine from Napa at the time. They just so happened to have one on hand and I was like, "no way, really?!" Internally when they said they had it in stock.

 

In terms of the Tacoma Yes it should be the same. It is not for the Dual VVTi 4runner that you would need to run the TRD setup that @12TRDTacoma is talking about. This uses a different MAF and harness. I thought about ordering this harness as well. The only possible would be making a plug and play harness possibly but does run the risk if your in CA for them questioning it being modded.

 

I thought they were both 5 pin plugs from the diagram, if so couldn't you switch a couple wires in the middle but keep the ends? Or switch a couple of the wire/pin locations?
The picture I looked at online looked like they were both the same 5 pin connector?

 

that I am unsure. I mainly know as of now that they are diff MAF and diff connectors. Could possibly just be the pins. You could even swap you OEM if thats the case.

 

cover everything in loom and tape to get by. FTM!

 

They are definitely NOT the same connectors and the pin sizes are much larger on the Tacoma variant over the newer plug style.

You will have to switch all of the wires to the new harness style if you want it to work.

Just peel back the OE wire loom, do your work and then once done unpeel it and restore it to as it was. If you want to go the extra mile, tape the end. All done!

 

my thoughts, solder then hide like oem.

 

I just got my AEM drop in panel filter today and took it for a brief run. Max effort showed me some 42.1 lbs./ min (or 318.27 grams/ sec.) @ WOT, of course that was just glancing at my gauge after one run.

I'll have to do several runs as the URD intake setup showed me at one point after multiple runs a max effort of about 43.7 lbs. min. (or 330.36 grams/ sec) @ WOT but considering the initial findings and the fact that the carbon trap is in place, NOT BAD for an OE style intake!!

Previous MAF max readings @ WOT with an OE replacement style Wix style filter after multiple runs showed me 40.9 lbs. min. (or 309.18 grams/ sec.) for reference, so there is definitely an immediate notable advantage in running a drop in high flow panel filter just in MAF readings. Pep has showed a small increase as well when driving spirited as well so that tells me it is indeed not placebo and there are indeed airflow advantages to be had by switching from a standard OE style filter to a high flow style drop in.

@JustDSM I'll have a log for you in the next few hours.

 

great data sir! i need to contact @JustDSM for some tuning support as well.
how many of you guys have your truck rev limit bounce multiple times before upshifting? reason i NEVER do wot runs.

 

Mine doesn't really bounce often, but I run the OE rev limits and I feel more than safe at 5700 RPM max.

 

The transmission is slow to respond to shifts. Increasing the output of the engine will raise the rate of RPM gain. This increase in rate causes the RPM to reach the rev limiter before the transmission shift point (scheduled for a earlier RPM) has time to do it's thing.

Easily fixed by slightly raising the engine rev limit or lowering the commanded shift point."

If you guys have issues, please take a moment to contact me and we'll schedule some time to address issues. If you don't contact me, I'm just going off the assumption all is well and you're happy with things as is.

 

Be sure to also have both ptfe hose and ptfe fittings. There is a difference. More info in my build thread.

Always have to use the best. Lessen the chances of issues.

 

Did you get the 1/2 NPT form the filter or are you running 350 version with 8 AN? that seemed to be the only fittings in radium

 

The daily uses the 1/2 npt and the race truck uses the 8an.

 

Any reason between the 2? If I went this route I would like to grab all from Radium but no 1/2 NPT. I was checking out your setup.
