TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I dont mean going turbo @snowsk8air2 I mean how their intakes are routed.

 

I'll keep you posted for sure man! Maybe next weekend (memorial day)

 

Oh gotcha. Either way I got it routed out more into the fender well behind the headlight. Still gets warm sitting and idling but seemed promising on my drive into work today for making a difference. We’ll see this afternoon when it warms up some more how temps look.

 

One of the reasons I have an intercooler in/out temp gauge.

I think it was @DocME that blew an engine due to failed intercooler pump.

 

Had an idea here. After you get your MAF turned back around; Get ahold of RKSport and order one of their hoods. It's got a functional hood scoop that brings air right over to that area. It looks mean too. If that's your thing.
Build a little airbox around the bottom of that filter and get it to seal up when the hood is down. My only concern is heavy rain working itself down into that air filter. But, then, your current setup stands to ingest a lot of water too. May be a non-issue.

 

More coffee fueled ideas. What’s the highest temps anyone with the ability to measure has seen in the intercooler system?

 

194 was about the usual norm for me beating the shit out of the blower and engine with the OE thermostat.

 

With the way that thing is ducted and the way all scooped hoods (minus cowl induction) have hood scoops set up to where they are set in the low pressure area of the body, water ingestion would be severely minimal and if anything that hood would serve more as a functional heat extractor rather than a potential water ingestor... Unless fording then all bets are off, as always.

This is my Davtron.

 

Where you located?

Plenty of good folks here I'm sure would be willing to help.

 

Looking at it in Google search pictures it appears like the sides protrude out some so you can mount it. How did you get that mounted in there? I like how it's a simple gauge with red, matches my AEM X gauge colors and while I really dig the Revel, it would throw off the dash gauge theme.

 

Interesting looking hood there. But for that price I’m getting a one piece fiberglass one.

 

I have a set of these for my race truck not yet installed but lots use them on track cars.

This could get crazy!
Mod, pool, bbq, guns, beverages!

 

IKR!

Wife has already been informed of the potential invasion.

 

I like this.

 

Flow switch. Wire it how ya like. Ig kill, idiot light, whatever.

Normally used to protect spa heaters. Should easily handle coolant and the temps we're talkin.

Here's another one that'd work. Mo money tho.

 

Approx 200° F pre intercooler
140°F post intercooler

 

You can make an equal length SS intake runner to match the Y-pipe

 

As do I. Have been seriously considering one for months. But, for me, with the intake I'm currently running, it'd be of no use. I'd originally planned to switch to an open top style intake and then integrate. But, I'm pretty happy with the TRD Taco/4R hybrid setup.
