TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Lol ask myself all the time. I'm not OCD but rather not go wrong for lack of diligence. Gap was tiny, too close for comfort IMO. Pull it off now while it's out of the bay. Not sure how much metal will expand under the hood and then debris getting kicked up.

Any idea on price? Just wanted mine to look OE for emissions.

So anybody with a Stealth 2.7 they wanna sell

 

I'm not talking about your OCD or lack of it. I'm asking, why would you use those horrible press on stealth pulleys still when we have qwikchange hubs and our pleasure of pick of sizes?!

 

@12TRDTacoma mostly just the stock look for CA emissions. I'm not sure if that's something is still an issue for people

 

It's not.

I and many others have gotten smogged so many times with qwikchange pulleys. It's really not even a factor.

 

so, as i was in the garage today i found a set on brand new plugs, ihk22. i never installed them when i put the super charger on. so for you few guys that are due for plugs now..... free.

 

I know it's just technicality bs. I am about keeping it emissions friendly to the eye.. Upon searching smoothflow, I don't know which is 5-rib. Going to order on Monday or today if someone can confirm which to order on smoothflow.

 

You have to email him and let him know that you want a 5 rib kit for the 4.0L TRD supercharger.

 

Does the snout need to be trimmed to install the smoothflow qwikchange hub with a 2.7 pulley?

 

just call or email Nate. He was awesome. Sent mine within the same week of ordering.

 

Yes. The need to trim is based on the fact that the pulley itself is what would interfere with the blower material if not trimmed down, not the hub itself, so Pulleyboys or Smoothflow you would have to cut regardless because a 2.7 is the diameter it is regardless of brand.

 

So this happened over the weekend. Thanks @Roostfactor and @JustDSM.

So initial thought on the AFE Momentum GT. Fully respect the engineering and design time and costs, but the material could be better for the price point. I went with the pro-dry filter, and it is a beast, but the plastic used on the housing feels on the cheap side. Slightly louder than the stock intake, but not significant. Also, for the price point I should not be pulling fasteners off the stock setup to reuse in the new intake - petty stuff, but yeah.

Hopefully next weekend I will get a chance to do some logged pulls for comparison against stock.

 

Not sure if you're ever in orange county, but you can borrow my cutter if you don't have one

@12TRDTacoma @MightyMouseTom Nate got back on a Sunday! That's some good service!! Thanks for the suggestion

 

im actually a little jealous. I want to do the SAI delete but don’t have the ability to reflash my truck back to the 05-11.

 

JustDSM should be able to help you. I have it deleted on my 13

 

It can be done, and it has been done.

 

I know I’ve read all the threads lol. I want to just haven’t ventured there yet lol.

 

he’s awesome in direct messages on here. Just don’t want to be that public cheapie. He does great work by reputation! Just can’t reason the cost to get his help with ECU stuff when I still have a list of mods I want to finish before hand lol.

Just ordered parts to do the snout
Just getting ready to remove the SCer and do plugs, catch can and snout.
