TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I shaved down the sides, moved my switches to the right, cut out the support between two switches then set it in there.
It's worked flawless for like 4 years now.

 

Hey guys, just off the top of your head, does anyone know if the nst alternator pulley with the step near the end is for tow package trucks?

 

Did you mount it in with screws or anything or some sort of adhesive?

 

Wont work for my plans either as my intake will eventually be where the battery currently sits.

 

Nope, it just sits in there snug. No fasteners or anything.

 

Whoa. 60* temp differential. That's nuts!!

Now that my system is restored back to working order, I'm really happy with the way the setup pulls now, and those power levels are bound to rise again later today after I get my tune back from Justin, so I can really see what this intake is capable of putting down.

Boost is down from 17.1 psi to 13.3 psi at WOT so that just goes to show me how bad the engine was suffering from the hotter intake air temperature charges inside the blower. It's wild how much these blowers benefit from the supplied IC setup.

 

I dont have answer to your question but you know your welcome for mod day!

Just throwing the offer out there.

 

Hey @BassAckwards there is no way of knowing until you pull out the pulley apparently. Supposedly ours come with the stepped but I believe there were two different manufacturer versions of our alternator so that ups the question mark factor a little more.

 

The video I shot was going East on I10 a bit past lake Havasu in the summer going uphill.
You can see the temp differential in action.

 

Thanks man!! Im definitely gonna try to make it once yall get all the details sorted out. Should be one for the books based on what ive read in here. Folks coming from all over it sounds like

 

Ahhh i see, alright thanks for the heads up

 

I also want to say publicly that @12TRDTacoma's y-pipe will be a one off custom unit so he will not be getting a standard JFR Y-pipe.
I say this because I feel it's of great importance to keep everyone's order in line.

Because his will be custom, everyone still keeps their spot in line and I can sleep at night knowing I'm not cheating anyone out of their spot in line.

 

So im assuming here, as heat increases pressure increases?

 

We need some deets! What kinda custom touches you putting on his? Im curious more than anything

 

Those are wild boost numbers. I have yet to see anything over 10.5 psi of boost with mine on the 2.5 pulley. I suspect boost numbers will drop even further with the Kelford cams installed. Need to get the "other car" back on the road before I tear into the truck tho.

 

I hit 13 psi with 2.3 pulley and full exhaust.
@12TRDTacoma's current exhaust is what is causing such high numbers.

 

Its a bit of a gamble but on my 2013 OR with tow package I needed the step not the flat. NST is under the impression that the flat is for all OR packages.

 

Basically making a fully custom y-pipe with his stock cats so he can be fast AND legal.

 

Thats what I want to discuss with you too. =)

 

In this case heat is an unwanted byproduct of the pressure rise.
Heat doesnt cause the pressure increase.
The pressure increase causes the heat.
