TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I like how your shooting your clean XRunner and then you jolt your camera to the Tundra like "Whoa"! LOL

By the way what size lift and tires on the Tundy? @oOopackersfanoOo

 

3” all around with 295/65r20 toyo mts

 

I'm about to drop mine! 2021 Platinum. Have the SOS Performance 2/4" sua drop kit. Front and rear trd sway bars, rear helper bags, and coach builder shackles. Getting suspension knocked out before I start on engine (supercharger!) Mods

 

got all my springs and retainer clips in by noon yesterday.....now just waiting another week for it to be done.waiting patiently-ish.

 

Well crap. That's what I was doing. I'll give it another go tomorrow but I think this neuropathy in my fingers is not helping.

 

You have to squeeze a little harder than normal with the clips at the tank. You may want to get a set of pliers with a bend at the end of them. That should squeeze them enough for you to be able to pull the lines off. They look like this.

 

Best place to buy the Ruth sparkplugs LFER7BHX?

 

rock auto?

 

good call I always forget about RA.

 

Napa my dude. They can usually get them same day too. RA is a great option as well. They are typically a little cheaper.

 

Ditto on Napa. They just had a 20% sale that ended 5/20. But purchase online, pick up locally. Faster than RA.

 

just ordered from RA. I don't need them right away so a few days wont hurt. Getting ready to put my RIPP packs in with @SUMOTNK

 

eh well too late and got a couple weeks before I need them.

 

Ok guy's!
Let me pick your brains for a second.
Is it a good idea to installed a second cooler in line to drop the temperature of the intercooler even more?

id say factory really does well for the duration of hard and mild needs of our application. basically not the bottleneck of efficincy in our deal.
but.... ive on many occassions overdone things for theory/ego/testing. so id love to see before and after #s! in that id say if you can afford to try go for it! also- if you find a supreme mounting system that offers great flow for either stock or modified front sections please share.

 

I'd be interested to know what the pressure drop is across that full setup and whether the pump would keep up. If it does keep up, you'd probably drop a few more degrees. You'd want to do some tests before and after to see if it helps. Looking at innercooler fluid temps and air inlet temps at the supercharger. Something like the Davitron that @Roostfactor did would be ideal.

 

My plan was to mounted in the vented section under the bumper. Supplying straight from the pump and from that cooler to the one infront of the radiator from there to the intercooler.

 

if it gets coolant temps at or better than stock you will have bragging rights man. pics and know how are great! please post!

 

Let me know if there are any tricks to the middle and rear driver side packs

 

With your idea, it would benefit from that mentioned front direct air flow or panels to direct air flow toward the cooler. Two inline cooler seems redundant if one does it correctly. The space should allow for one larger but if it doesn't because of a winch or accessory up front then two might work. And as others mentioned, possible pump or 2nd inline pump upgrade. If you have hit the dyno, you can see the delta between the issue of heat soak after the 2nd to 4th consecutive run. I don't have hard data on how it effects real world driving but on the dyno it's pretty apparent. Get air flow moving. So if you're goal is crawling or something where the air flow in front won't benefit you, better just to keep it simple. If you're planning to go fast, a 2nd or larger 1st intercooler sounds good to me.
