TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I tend to be fairly proud of having the worst fuel economy V6 in the province.

 

Got my URD pulley back from a color change prior to install. Can’t have that red! Haha I’m that childish when it comes to sports.

 

What size?

 

Looks blue! I can't tell if they masked the mounting surface off or not, but I offer you the following advise:

- Sand down the the mating surface by hand to make sure its free of overspray.
- Use a little bit or a lot of antsieze when you go to install it.
- If you ever think you're going to go to a diffrent pulley, then stop now and get a Smotth Flow setup.

I had that same pulley as well as a lot of others. Its works great, but when it comes time to remove it, its a real you know what. It does not come off without a serious fight and it will be ruined. Other than that, it looks awesome! Enjoy!

 

dont know what sports team but approve the blue, deff sand the inside and might have to heat up the pulley for install on the shaft.

 

I have recently went up a tad from 14.08 MPG to 14.36 MPG over the course of two fuel tanks, thereby extending my range out from 245 to 250 miles per tank before the light turns on (17.4 gallons consumed), which I have been incredibly pleased with and if I keep scoring the same mileage I would not mind at all.

@JustDSM I have been recently experiencing the stutter or pause at take off again though. Have you made any progress on tracking down what the cause for that could be? Should I send you a new overall log file?

All of this right here. So much all of this right here. Pro advice that cannot be reiterated anymore than what has been said.

 

Why Smooth Flow over URD's QC Pulley (besides price)?

I want to go 2.8" and not cut the snout...

 

I don’t think they realize quick chance. I like the blue way better than stock color. Will do mine soon. Did you powder coat?

 

The Blue is MightMouse, not me.

I'm still researching which route I'm going to go with.

 

Oops. I need readers.

 

Powder coat? Looks sharp

 

I get this stutter too. If I watch my wide band during it- it flares rich then lean before stabilizing.

 

I'm not a URD hater by any means, their products look and function well. I tend to gravitate towards the Smooth Flow option because they've been supporting the quick change pulleys in this platform for longer. I also think that subconsciously once you've done battle to remove one of those beautiful red pulleys it changes you. Also, when most of us were on the smaller pulley band wagon, smooth flow offered pretty much any size you wanted but URD was rolling out a couple of sizes. Other than that, there's really no issue installing any of the pulley options.

Cutting the snout is really not hard, don't fear it.

 

No progress has been made on this. It's not something I can currently access/work around unfortunately.

(EDIT) Send me a log however. Please just log the instance it happens and not a long log of you driving around please (/EDIT)

 

I know there's ways of dealing with the shavings, but by staying with the URD QC 2.8", I can always cut later. Well the SF 2.8" work without cutting?

 

Ok some off topic talk cuz ur guys are the shit. I wanna regear the tundra. Put some 5.29s in it. Maybe put a locker in the rear. I no nitro is the way to go. Anyone put these in their selfs? I’ve never done difs. I do a lot of towing lately and just bought a huge car hauler. Any input would help thanks all

 

I’ve done gears on side by sides in my past life as a mechanic. It is a pain in the butt and for a daily driver/ tow rig, this is one of few jobs I would pay a professional to do.

I know east coast gear supply does great work and they’ll do core swaps. That’s what I did for my truck.

 

Oh good call. I’d love to just do a core swap.

 

They’ll install the locker and everything as well and just send back whatever plumbing or wiring components you need to finish it up.

 

Do not need to cut until 2.7 and below.
