TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

that makes two of us. i was just suggesting ideas of different sorts for page 1.

 

Just for fun. Thermal image after several hard pulls on 2.6 pulley at 57 degrees ambient. The truck did have a couple min to cool the SC in urban driving before I could take a reading.

 

im interested seeing thermals while driving.

 

I’ll let you ride on the front to take the photo.

 

Makes for a sweet decal....

 

Anyone wanna do my maths!? I need to quiet these valves.

 

We need a bigger intercooler, that puppy is heatsoaked!! Wonder what a pic with water/meth looks like for comparison.

 

That would be a pretty sweet hood ornament.

 

That's past my pay grade man. Lol. I'm sorry, I got nothing for you here.

@White lightning boosted as a good ornament holding a thermometer while his hair is flipping around in the wind? Hell yeah! Where can I buy one?

 

We should get little dashboard White Lightning Jesus figurines made like that. Hair straight back holding a header in the air or something.

 

If I'm reading your numbers right; It looks like your intakes are loose. Exhaust is mostly good. Unfortunately all of the buckets you're pulling out won't be useable elsewhere.

 

maybe a camshaft in one hand and a bottle of methanol in the other. trd devil horn t-shirt..

 

heat soak happens when you stop and park. ive done very hard runs, stop and check the s/c. its cool to the touch. in a few minutes its warms up from the motor.

 

Yep and that makes sense also. Motor heat transfer to the SC is bound to cause a lot of heatsoak due to the fact that the engine is a giant consistently running convection oven.

 

these blowers are very efficient when kept within their means. sure, we push them. but its rare we hold boost for more than a minute. they run cooler with a spray i hear.

 

Should I be aiming for
.15 to .20 range? not .15 to .39
&
.29 to .34 range? not .29 to .39

 

i think a cool print for a shirt.

 

I'm just using the charts.

.20 mm is the middle of the allowable range on the intake.

.34mm is the middle of the allowable range in the exhaust.

I wanted to ask. Did you get the same gaps for each pair of valves? Like Cyl #1 intakes both measure .30mm and have the same buckets? etc...

 

I measured each gap using feeler gauges. Then removed the cams. Checked which buckets were there and marked them on the paper. Then I measured each bucket as I removed them and marked the buckets with the measurement I had.

I started doing some moving around on paper to try and get them all within tolerance. Not done yet. But the direction I was headed while I wait for buckets.

 

The buckets you need are the numbers I wrote in red.
I posted the part numbers below that.
Double the quantities if in fact each pair of valves has the same gap and bucket.
