TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

100% I will. I sent something over for a fella on here a while ago. See how I go and if I get stuck I’ll yell out. Cheers for the offer.

 

I shipped you an ECU before and you shipped me some lights off eBay. I have some other NV4500/12V Cummins swaps. I think I may need some clutch pedal assemblies off some FZJ80s. They are plentiful there.

 

Ah that was you! Lol! Sorry man I couldn’t remember who it was.

 

Can you do me a favor and retake in my and see what the thread pitch is?

 

There would definitely be a couple things I may take off for my new truck. I aiming to keep most of it on there however to make it more appealing to a potential buyer.

 

There is somewhat of an art to not giving a fuck….

 

Wow

 

Roberto? Is that you?

 

Reinstalling the SAIS...boooooo!

 

I may be reinstalling the factory intake before selling too. If I still have my old thermostat, URD 170* thermostat and spacer will be coming off too. Likely have a pair of Red HPS Heater Hoses available. Will keep y'all posted on parts soon. No way am I tackling the DT LT Headers. f that noise. pia! Dealer didn't mention anything about wanting factory exhaust manifold installed, and I told them I had LT headers....granted I didn't tell them about the URD Sim lol

 

Just be careful, most dealers are required now for sellers to disclose any exhaust tampering. I am going through this with dodge.

 

I'll take that sim if you uninstall it.

 

We'll see on that one. I'm gonna leave them installed for now. If I remove them I'll definitely have to reinstall stock exhaust manifolds.

I do now have modified to work correctly Hewitt SAIS block off plates. Tuning required. $20 shipped

 

Alright gents! Update, bolt came out with ease once it had a nut welded to it. Brandin Stevens over at 4lo fab showed up to the house, shared a couple of Lonestar Light’s after successfully extracting that bolt with ease.

i did however strip my fan nuts trying to remove them to create space for him to work. That sucks but they are obviously still in place and not going anywhere so I’ll leave those for now until I get the truck running and can get it on a flat surface because it is on an incline in my driveway at the moment. Last photo is what is left of that lower idler pulley. Geez man. Shredded the lip of that thing once that bolt was sheered off

 

What's all this talk about selling?

I'm interested in your URD 170* thermostat and spacer, if you decide to sell it, @scootter82.

 

Nothing is set however I am looking. I am not doing this to take advantage of the sellers market. However, where my truck is at condition wise, if I were to get into a newer Tacoma for me the time is now.

 

Friends don't let friends cross-over to the (turd-gen) dark side...

 

Yeah I don’t know, we’ll see. If I do, I highly doubt I’ll boost it. Just regear it and tune it then leave it be.

 

I'm LOL @ "I highly doubt I’ll boost it. Just regear it and tune it then leave it be." IIRC, someone who looks a lot like you said similar things about minimal mods to his 2nd Gen...

Whoever buys your current ride will score a GREAT truck! (ALMOST makes me wish I was in the hunt.) I wish you all the best with whatever you decide.

 

I bought a JK Rubicon I'm rebuilding with EVO Pro Coilover kit and 37" tires. Lots of work going on with it atm. And I bought a 2200 lbs trailer to tow the jeep with. The Taco just won't cut it. So need to step up to a Tundra. Never wanted to sell it, but also don't want to ruin it towing.
