Magnuson Supercharger Mega Thread for 16+ Tacoma - Unboxing, Install DIY, Dyno Video

The CARB approval is only for 2016-2020.

 

Well that sucks.. I have the 2021 Pro

 

They were selling them to California customers before the CARB approval came, or just say yours is a 2020 or older...and there's a pretty good chance CARB will extended to the 2021's long before you're due for smog in 8 years

 

just watched a video about the 19 ranger getting 312hp at the wheels with a tune. just a tune. thats it. and its a 2.4l.

I have to spend 8 thousand dollars to get anywhere close to that. quite the frustration.

 

The ranger is a factory turbo engine which makes that super easy to do. Pretty much any factory FI engine can see large power increases for cheap by turning up the boost.

 

Anyone have an idea of the total cost involved with this? Interested and willing to piss off the wife..

 

Self install vs a shop 7k to about 10k

 

Sorry man but this is a nonsense comment and here’s why… The ranger is turbocharged from the factory. So obviously a tune, downpipes and exhaust is all that’s needed to get significantly more power.

The Tacoma was not turbocharged nor supercharged from the factory. You need to purchase the hardware for forced induction and it’s going to cost big bucks regardless of the kit, (Magnuson, URD, OV tune turbos). The difference in price between those kits, (aside from availability issues), comes down to installation, maintenance, support, and fit and finish. They are all going to put down roughly the same amount of power as the limiting factor for forced induction on this platform is fuel. As of right now we don’t have an aftermarket fuel solution.

 

Bingo!

 

How is it a nonsense comment? They have a point. Toyota snoozed a generation too long with forced induction.

Yet I opened my wallet wide and still like my 2018 Taco. With that being said I am very tempted to jump to an oem FI truck.

 

Good point. Agree 100% that they are a generation late with the turbo tundra. I don’t think that was the OP’s point however…

 

Some of us may argue that the Tacoma is a generation late for FI as well.

Toyota WAS way out front of the competition with turbo'd vehicles as far back as the late 80s. The 2JZGTE is legendary for strength and reliability and was launched in 1991.

 

I need some help have 18 supercharge tacoma magnesum truck throwing codes 355,353,351 had checked at Toyota garage they said tune was causing codes any suggestions maybe retune only have mag tune that came with supercharger thanks

 

Also they told me they couldn’t do it I’m new to this forem

 

First off, can you verify that you got the right tune file from magnuson? did they give you a tune for *YOUR* ECU ID?

You mentioned a Toyota garage, did you do the install and flash yourself? If so I recommend flashing back to stock, reset all learned values, start the truck and let it idle for few (maybe up to temp, maybe less, but don't drive it). Then re-flash the magnuson tune and reset learned values again then see if it comes back.

 

Those are ignition coil codes. 351 references cylinder 1 specifically. Try swapping it to another and seeing if the code follows.

If I remember correctly, cylinder 1 is the front-most on passenger side. I've got a piston diagram somewhere... Lol

Solid advice.

 

The garage that installed the supercharger tuned it I have the hard drive that came with it it’s ran fine for a while I don’t know what happened

 

Your correct 1,3,5 on passenger side checked all coils today going to try what you mentioned

 

And thanks I’m 63 and a little slow getting up to par on the site my truck being down is killing me
