TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

So they are just modding the position with a spacer instead of rotating the body? That means they'll sit taller off the valve cover and possibly have more conflicts? Thinking about the supercharger side...

 

I think the spacer makes it so it is angled for clearance. I’d take the word “spacer” lightly. I believe yes, it is technically a spacer per say but it shouldn’t really raise the height very much. Or......maybe they never took the blower into consideration and they are gonna be long as fuck. ....idk.

 

Guess you really won't be able to change spark plugs with blower still installed. It's already a tight fit to get the coils in/out on the driver's side.

 

Stock coils... easy....

 

All of you guys are high. I run the Ripp coils and have had zero issues with removing them even with the blower installed when doing spark plugs. It's really not a big deal and actually it's easier with the Ripps because of how the boots are flexible instead of rigid like the OE ones are.

 

Maybe so, we want to get "Ripped" like you!


There's a joke in there somewhere...

 

I am also running the ripp packs not designed for this motor with no complaints.

 

Yeah just get high on a can of this when you install the coils. You'll be good.

 

Might wanna talk to a doctor about that

 

Anyone running the gesi high flow cats?
After putting on a set with shorties I have cat efficiency faults for both banks.
Is there special tuning required?
The retailer said they can't do anything for me.

 

The sensitivity of the system so tight. You have a couple of options. If you’re tuned, you can go that route. If not it’s up the Sims

 

I ran the vibrant GESI hi flows for forced induction on my DT shorties with no problems. No tuning required

 

I got the GESI G-sport 50025 less than a week I get this surprise. So much for EPA approved.

 

Sure you don't have exhaust leaks?

 

I have replaced the gaskets at the y-pipe and it still came back. The doughnut at the cat back is new, but I see water leaking during cold starts. that one is well after the cats and the secondary o2 sensors though.

 

Just run low profile spark plug anti foulers of the stainless steel variety. I have them installed in both of mine and my light of the CE disappeared forever despite my one failure.

Make sure you get that leak addressed unless you don't care. If it is post downstream o2 then no harm no foul. Otherwise you are good to go.

 

@12TRDTacoma yes the leak is down streak after the secondary cats.
I'll look into the anti foulers.

 

I got a set of four accidentally thinking they would only be sold as one. I can send you the link for them if you want. Just make sure you get the low profile, after all, we live where we live.

 

Sounds good.

 

yah def curious of fitment then ill order away.
