TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I am.

Really makes me want to lift my truck again.

 

All back together yet?

 

There is a guy in another thread getting his installed by them currently. Anxiously awaiting the outcome.

 

@Smokehouse ,

Different charger, but you really want to be in this thread.

 

whats the link for it. ive read through the thread before but i always find it by chance

Close enough.

 

I meant the link on the forum.

 

I’m been researching how they do while towing. Also waiting on the upcoming Tundra kit.

 

I did see that from another guy I know. My thought was about the skids. So you would have to use their skids? Seems more aligned for desert runners then other uses cases but I do like the beefiness and how it moves everything forward.

Ddi you get your JFR already? any issues with that as He has had issues with other reinforcements.

Yeah everything in that thread and coming to production from that build is awesome. I’m torn on doing their steering rack saver or doing a diy myself. Wouldn’t be hard, just need a little bit of lathe work, but then the ready made stuff makes life so much easier.

 

thanks

 

So i'm not too worried about that, but i do wonder how that hole on the drivers side would possibly affect the clutch pedal operation.

 

No, unfortunately it's going to be awhile. I'm installing a DK long travel kit at the same time. The coil overs were supposed to be a two week lead time, but that was 6 weeks ago and no end in sight. Also, I'm upgrading the CV's to the 934's through JD as well. Those are a couple more weeks out. So no, not close yet. Gives me time to tune the fiberglass and plan out a linked rear setup....

The skid is basic, but if you want to you can tie that into a front bash plate and home brew tranny skid. If you're committed to you current engine skid and that is a mount for the transmission skid, then you'll have a little adaptation to make. I've had my JFR installed for quite some time. no problems with the fitment, haven't tried to take it out, but I don't think there's any issues there.

I agree everything is awesome and it's making its way to market soooo incredibly fast (frighteningly fast.) I would do their rack in a heartbeat, and I really like the outer hiem gussets. I was always envisioning a 7/8" heim on the outside, not sure if that's a big consideration or not. I'd probably do if I could. The FJ rack is different enough that I'm going to have to take my rig down there when I get closer.

 

My guess is that you will be fine. My foot operated e-brake was unaffected.

 

Yeah, I am pretty interested in it. I like that it uses a 6 rib system and I much prefer the air to air intercooling system. Plus I am sure it sounds wicked.

 

Murph, you heading up the group buy effort?

 

No worries there for me. Tundra already has an 8 rib system. Everything I’ve read says roots or twin screw is better for towing/low end power. But if the Tundra procharger kit ends up being around the same price as the Tacoma kit then I’m interested.

 

How much different are these pro charger kits vs the URD centrifugals?
