TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Oh yeah! Sign me up!

 

Interesting! First one with both I assume?

 

Makes me wish I had snagged a set. I pretty had it licked but backed out due to my onslaught and unknown combo. Curious to see how this goes. Maybe we can get another run for all us cam gear guys.

This is deep.

 

What are people's favorite ways to monitor engine/transmission temps in real time? The bluetooth attached one for smartphones sounds rather unobtrusive.

 

If you have an aftermarket double-din radio with iDatalink capability, a Maestro module is pretty neat.

 

My Saturday project

 

I've steered away from that since I have the full JBL factory audio setup. Sure looks like a nice kit, though.

 

In between thunder storms washing. Always looks so pretty clean.

 

Damn that thing is SO clean.

 

It’s possible to replace the radio and retain JBL but I get not wanting to mess with that. Here are a few other solutions that I know of:

Scangauge
Ultrgauge
Carista
OBDLink
DashLink II
PLX Kiwi

 

This is the same as what I am doing through an Alpine headunit.

 

Nice!! How are those camshafts treating you. Have you broken that engine in enough yet to up that rev limiter?

 

I've been running an Alpine ILX-207, but lately I've been eyeing that ILX-F309.

 

After some cruising around today, I’m stoked on the 4.10 diff! Perfect for my mall crawler setup with 285 tires. It provides a nice improvement in acceleration and an acceptable highway RPM. I originally planned to do 4.30, but I think that would’ve made the highway RPM higher than I’d like.

I still need to swap the front diff, but I ran out of time for this weekend.

 

So pretty! I have always loved the x-runner. Wish they still made them.

 

I still like my ultragauge mount from @BenCC
Especially, the new revision that allows easy access to the Menu/Arrow buttons on the back.

Line of sight to the digital reading(s) isn't ideal but the factory looking integration into the overhead console is what appeals to me.

The idatalink/maestro method discussed by @loginfailed is the best IMHO, but I didnt have a compatible head unit and didnt want to upgrade.

 

That is pretty slick though always available even compared to the radio.

I swapped I’m an android head unit and it connects to my BT OBD reader. Was debating on the ultra in a similar manner

 

Anyone know the stock steering axle and driver axle weight?
