TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

so just a pissy sensor probably yeah? Pending is intermittent?

 

Forgot I did this too a month or so ago.

 

I'm (mostly) satisfied with my Lotek 2-Pod Full Pillar. The color match is close enough. The biggest issue I had/have was/is fitment, that required a little Dremel work to optimize. IIRC, I had to tweak one of the gauge holes to seat the gauge and both mounting holes for the handle required adjustment. The gauges ended up fitting pretty well, but the handle will never be perfect.

Looks great! I'd like to do it with my UG. I sent the guy a message, but no response so far.

 

disconnect neg battery terminal for a little reset learning .

 

Send him another one. He took a couple from me to reply. He’s a busy guy

 

I'll give it a shot overnight.. lol

 

Just do what I do. Cheapie BT OBD2 connector and torque lite. Just reset trouble codes until the sensor quits or you quit.

 

its just 5 min. then a test of how long the ecu takes to decide.

 

Don’t you still have UCON? Just turn the ignition to on, puMp the accelerator pedal 5 times and start the car.

 

lol. I know.. this is what I've been doing so far. Just clearing it with Torque as it comes. lol

 

I like the idea I wonder how it works? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3928050373...tQC030BQXm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

 

That's cool! I didn't know there was some shortcut/ macro on the UCON. I'm usually cruising in 5th gear and it trips a MAF voltage or o2 sensor so I just complete the reset while driving. I haven't had Scott take a look at it since I was lazy. Been trying to put the short headers and new obd2 sensors on before I have him log on and scan it for further issues.. I also have a weird laggy obd2 response as well. Not sure if that's an URD issue but I haven't been able to run any OBD2 reader/gauges because it is that slow or laggy.

 

Pending is techie terminology for sometimes. It's sometimes causing a problem basically.

I don't know if he is running sims or regular sensors so I can't really say what's causing it.

 

The ucon augments the readings so I wouldn’t trust a reader as much as I would an independent gauge.

 

Darn. I was hoping to rely more on torque pro to reduce all the wiring. But I do have a bunch of dedicated gauges I can install from old race car stuff. I finally ordered a wiring/pod set up and will need to get to wiring.

 

I sent him a message and $$$. He returned the cash a few days later noting he’s tied up with some life event/move.

 

I didn't have fitment issues with mine, but I do agree that the color is off somewhat. But... it does become a little closer to match after a few weeks baking in the sun. There was a freshly painted smell on mine when I fisrt opened the shipping box, and a few days later when I did the install, so I think maybe the paint has to cure. So far none of my passengers have noticed the difference in color, at least they hadn't said anything to the matter.

Been waiting months for the trans fluid gauge to come back in stock...

 

I might try it out

 

Any particular reason why?

I think that product is a lot of fluff and not enough blow. Almost a dressed up ultragauge.

Feels like you'll need to tap for a few of those sensors. If you have to pay for labor, after all is said and done, you'll probably be better off monitoring through HP Tuner or even iDatalink Maestro.

Just my 2 pennies

 

Ya I was looking at this one https://www.justraceparts.com.au/car-multi-gauge-base-unit-sensor-package

looks like you can hook up to obd2 also then could have boost and afr trans temps also
