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

I believe you'll need to specify gear ratio and tire size for each example to be comparable

 

That will no doubt effect the overall ratio.

 

Are MT's governed differently than AT's? My governor doesn't kick in until ~125mph

 

~2600 rpm 6th gear (auto) is the limiter unless it’s been modified in your tune.

Actual/indicated speed will vary based on gear ratio and tire diameter.

 

For YW tunes, limit gets raised

 

Question. Went to dyno this today just for pull numbers and couldn't get it to stay in gear (per the tech).pulled the abs fuses and kept downshifting. I don't know anything about dynos so I'm just reporting back to get a fix so I can go back to thw shop with answers. They btw mostly deal w corvettes and muscle cars....it was a first for them to have a taco there.

 

No way to keep the auto in a specific gear unless you have a gear lock tune.

 

you need gear lock, or you need to be high enough in rpm to prevent a downshift. May require rolling into the pull (gradual increase of throttle rather than just stomping it to prevent downshift).

When doing WOT pulls for testing for NA and FI, I give gear locked tunes for our testers, but for those that do not like using GL, they can get it without it, typically need to be around 2500+ rpm, almost 3k in some cases. Varies depending upon tune values set.

 

They did attempt to roll into it but it was not successful. I have no idea what a gear lock tune is, but I'm hitting the search button now. I have an idea, but don't want to assume. Haha

 

There's currently no graceful or pretty way to implement it really, but it can be done by tying it to a combination of ECT and S-mode. Hopefully the ability to implement it without tying up the ECT button eventually gets added into VFTuner.

 

Will give the gear lock (diff lock according to my search), pull abs fuses (50 and 30), s mode in 3rd, hold and turn off trac control for 5 seconds.
Anyone have suggestions on what boost gauge they like? I believe I read that I can use T connectors to get psi. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Gear lock and diff lock are two completely different things. The only way you can lock gears is with a tune, and I believe mZiggy is the only one with a SC tune as of now

 

Wow, this definitely changes things.

 

Thanks ALL!!

Both Cindy and URD got back to me today. Cindy said they are backed up on orders, as shown on the website, but provided a vendor that has one. At the same time URD got back to me that they have both the Maggy and Spec-u in stock and ready to ship. Order placed!! (URD) Seems that I may actually have some Boost in the near future!

 

Hello.. where are you guys tapping for the boost gauge vacuum line? Asking for a friend thanks in adv.

 

There’s a threaded port on the supercharger.

 

More specifically the threaded port is on the back of the lower intake provided by Magnuson. You may want to use an 90 degree elbow and have it point toward the driver side of the truck. The install instructions specifically call out where this port is at (Page 52 step 191).

 

For monitoring AFR, is there a slick setup that just reads from the ODB, or is it better to install an independent wideband system?

Suggestions for make and model?

 

From a few pages back in this thread, I went with another user's suggestion:

$279 Revel VLS 1TR1AA005R Air / Fuel Wideband Gauge 52mm, 10.0:1 to 20.0:1 AFR Digital OLED Display

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0744QBRKT?ie=UTF8

$159 Revel 1TR1AA001R Gauge (VLS 52mm 30inHg-45PSI Digital OLED Boost), 1 Pack

https://www.amazon.com/Revel-1TR1AA001R-Gauge-30inHg-45PSI-Digital/dp/B0744QSXFL/
https://urdusa.com/flexpod-gauge-mount-2016-tacoma/

I am very happy with this setup.

 

I think the wide-band O2 sensor is required to get the correct range of AFR whereas your current O2 sensors only monitor narrow range.
