TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Bet you their core support doesn't rip itself apart...

 

Looks like they won't be using the power steering pump, and obviously no a/c compressor.

Digging the turbo choice!

 

Assuming it's a full track build, the popular thing these days is installing an electrical pump so they can turn on and off with a switch and change placement.

 

It's a full track build for certain. I was thinking through post, how much more room for turbos there is with that setup.

 

I always hope they would 3d scan the exhaust manifolds for reproduction so we can use it in future builds! Of course we would want to keep PS and AC, maybe someone could build a top mounted turbo setup.

 

Who's build is that? I really dig their simple core support design. Of course the rest looks awesome as well!

 

Remember this.. Wonder how similar they are yet with 3D you can round off the edges@Torspd

Ken or Dai.....one of them Forumla Drift dudes. 100% legit. Racecar program type budget. Would love to hear about the Toda Racing cams..

 

Shout out to @Murphinator for the spark plug video. I changed the plugs and did an oil change yesterday. Plugs were around 28k. Not sure if I would have even attempted t change the plugs without removing the SC if not for the video.

This bad boy did the trick:





(yes, there are 1/2” drive size extensions/swivel in there. Gotta use what ya got! Haha)

passenger side took all of 10 min, driver took me an hour but it all worked. Also think the front driver was probably the worst, and I figured the rear dvr would have been.

 

Fancy Sparkplug socket ya got there...

That 2nd pic needs more blue pills..

 

What video

 

Page 1

 

I thinks its like 6"ish, has a swivel built in which was nice.

Amazon: CARBYNE Spark Plug Socket - 5/8-inch 6" Magnetic Swivel

 

About 2/3 the way down pg 1

 

The front driver gave me problems until I removed one of the swivels. If I remember correctly the first two plugs can be done with the single swivel and the rear needed both. Still faster than pulling the blower off

 

I need to revisit this for reasons of both myself and for @TodayWasTHeDaY who is thinking about converting to an Efan setup as well.

By getting this little jewel we can still run the Lingenfelter fan controller correct? I don't remember seeing much more info after we had a brief conversation about it.

The only thing that pisses me off about the controller is the lack of AC trigger thing.

 

I'm currently doing the e-fan conversion as well, my only hang-up right now is the mounting solution of the e-fan housing to the factory shroud. @MESO had the best mounting solution but apparently no longer available. I'm think of using two 1/2" OD round spacers at each leg (7) to attach to the shroud

I've chosen the Lingenfelter PWM for the controller, I think it's the most viable option that's currently available.

I've separated the e-fan "round" portion of the housing from the rest shroud that it came with...

I already own the efan and don't need to mount it as that's already been dealt with. Granted, I'm not terribly happy with the mounting but it's good for what it is at the moment. The current issue I and others have been having as well is with the AC trigger.

 

Supercharged bros - have any of you ran into this issue ?
