TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

only use I had with the bully dog tuner was the carb sticker Magnuson gives you if you have the kit with the tune.

 

better than me. im trying

 

not going to lie, it took me about 5 minutes or so to figure you your post.

 

One of us needs to get a Tundra and go over there and show them how to mod properly!

Anyhow, one side done. You can only see two studs but the two you CAN see are shiny AF!

 

haha good times

 

Damn I thought mine was sometimes bad. I’ve seen as low as 11 but it’s usually 12-14 and can squeeze 16/17 if I take a long trip and keep it under 70.

 

Yah there ya to be something up. Last summer took a trip out to Co and was getting 14 or so maybe 15. Normally getting 11-12. right before I started getting closer to 10 and my plugs were shot when I pulled them. TB and MAF needed a cleaning but didn’t expect this drop so somethings off just not sure what. Truck seems to drive ok.

did install a gauntlet of stuff. one thing was adjusting the bypass valve. it seems to be fine vaccine and boost are there. No drops except a few parts similar to otter folks. if it’s off adjustment would that cause this? not sure.

I need to get my AFR to get a better read. But the truck is drinking gas like no other. I don’t see any gas leak or smell gas. No crazy sounds or backfiring etc.

 

you got tuned by @JustDSM right? He should be be able to look at your data logs to see if something’s up there. If you changed the injectors and didn’t tune, that would be a problem.

 

ETCG has a decent article on fuel mileage with a long list of things to look for.

Just waiting for hp tuners to release the 2019. I’m excited. Running Long tubes with no cats. Airaid intake. Can’t supercharger it tho. Pretty sure the wife would kill me.

 

Pic I took the other day. Love it.

 

try and volenteer your truck for prototype modeling for s/c fitting. possible discounts??

 

She’s been a good little pulley but it might be time to retire her, she’s getting a little old and wrinkly!

 

He has been helping me with the tune. Has several version on it already. No AFR yet so some of it was just the evil genius at work. The FIC and FJ intake was in prep for the smaller pulley but partially thought is maybe that is the current bottle neck.

Will be swapping the fuel pump and AFR here soon enough. I was antsy to get it started.

I am running a similar tune to others so something else has to be up.

 

Vacuum test your boost bypass valve.

If that's okay disconnect the hose from the fuel pressure regulator and smell it, see if it smells like fuel. If it does, there's your winner.

 

They already got supercharged out there. Just can’t have 2 supercharged vehicles lol. I’d love to tho. Harrop makes the 2650 kit for the tundra.

 

it is a beast with it.

 

We can't have that sort of negativity around here.

Get out.

 

I think its 170°

Pics suck but the thermostat is mounted to top of passenger side frame.
Its below the a/c line.

Cooler is mounted to the radiator support from the top.
Factory cooler and routing through the radiator are deleted.

 

You're a madman!
