TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I spoke to my buddy who’s a master welder and car builder. He’s gonna weld in another vibrant resonator after my muffler, under the bed. He’s also gonna route a tailpipe out the back.

 

Does anyone here have experience with Quantum fuel pumps? My Fuel pump is going out. I am loosing pressure at high load. Currently running an after market fuel pump assembly for a V-8 4-runner, it stated it was 255lph.

 

I would use some sort of light film of silicone paste or lubricant (hell even general motor oil would work on the outside cage so it goes in a little easier. It's not absolutely mandatory, but it will help move things along a little easier.

I wouldn't run anti seize personally, but that's just me.

 

let us know the results and your impressions once done!

 

Bad day boys. Had some fun getting off the highway. Burning the tires and lost control. Hit a curb and telephone pole. I’m am emotion wreck right now. I’m fine and never even crossed my mind if I was ok. Just care about the truck. I feel like you guys understand the most. I would rather be hurting right now then the truck. It took way more of a beating then I thought. Still
IN Tears tonight. Praying it can be fixed.

 

Sorry to hear this friend. Glad you're good. The truck did it's job to protect you.

 

Glaaaad you're OK. That's what matters. With enough motivation, the truck can be fixed.

 

oh

shit. im speechless. i feel for you. so glad youre ok. the truck can be ok soon.

 

Man that sucks and I understand your frame of mind completely but you're ok and that's the most important thing.

Keep your chin up and realize it always could've been worse

 

Glad you are not physically hurt.... The damage is hard to swallow but in the end, things could have been much worse. We empathize and mourn with you.

 

Dislike, but I'm happy to hear that you are okay. These possessions, all fixable, all replaceable. You are not my friend, just know that.

I'm hoping she'll be back to life soon.

 

Oh shit Tony! I feel for you man…….and I know how your feeling right now. Obviously glad your not hurt. One way or another things will work out.

 

Oh man, I hate this.

 

Glad you’re ok man. With enough motivation the truck can be fixed.

 

Damn glad your okay, Tony. Now time fo that T56 when you rebuild it better than ever.

 

Definitely glad you’re okay. At least you didn’t hit the engine side!!

 

Sorry to see mate. Be sure to have yourself checked out.

 

Very sorry to see this, but also glad you made it out without injury. Try and keep your head up, like others have said, with enough determination, the truck can be fixed.

 

Damn....sorry to see this. Hoping for a positive outcome!

But also looking at the pictures of the damage I would be expecting it to get totaled out. Just try not to set high expectations that it will get fixed because that could be a hard let down. Just looking at how the door lines aren't aligned. And can't tell if there's rear cab damage or if that's just door damage.

Glad you aren't hurt! that's the main thing!

 

Sorry to hear this. Sucks. I understand how you feel, gut checked. I had a similar situation on the beach in Mexico (not kidding) where the truck took a ton of damage but thankfully survived and none of my family was hurt. Took a lot of work to bring it back, and it still isn't completely done, but it is better than it was as upgrades in the process are always going to happen. I was so disgusted I had to park it for more than 2 months before even investigating the extent of the damage.

From my experience, I'd suggest you step away for a bit as well. Don't dive into it right away. But when you do get into it, disassembly and list making stage, perhaps you can start a thread of things that you need to get. My guess is that people will be happy and willing to donate to your cause, often times paying the shipping on top of it just to get it to you, or meeting up with you at common events to hand off goods. It is obvious that many of the parts you will need are somewhat harder to find and maybe not even available new at any price. But this community has a wide reach, and crowd sourcing your parts and quite possibly some funding for your parts might take it way further than you think.

The best thing that happened to me regarding the resurrection of the truck was finding an old school shop that had a legit laser guided frame table and super experienced and friendly owner. Turns out my frame was quite tweaked, but I got it straightened, plated, reinforced better and was able to make a ton of the upgrades that I had been wanting to do since the truck had to be torn down so far for repairs, building it back up differently was basically free. He let me work on the truck and use his shop/tools, and his employees did certain things and I did certain things. (as example I put on high clearance wrap around rear bumper, I cut the bedsides to fit, they installed, etc. It worked out really well. Best wishes for the same sort of recovery for you.
