TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I tried to just do a headunit, and there was so many wires I could hardly fit the headunit and had a lot of lost functions so I ended up returning it..

 

i understand your view. ive yet to have one problem with the whole system.

 

likely will be my choice if i ever get to installing my exhaust goods.

 

What’s the hold up

 

mostly time... and finding a good shot to do it that I feel will do a good job.
I have some
DT Headers Shorties
JFR (its a N/A one but will modify with a larger merge etc.)
BW Muffler
Then will see what happens in between with all those resonators, extra mufflers, and larger stereo discussions.

Def itching to get it all set up.

 

I’m very curious to see how mine will sound with the 3rd resonator.

 

I just joined the list with you. I have to do an entire replacement of my suspensions stuff. This stuff has been pending pretty heavily for the last few years and I've been putting it off for a while but I can't ignore it anymore.

- All upper control arms
- All lower control arms
- Modify the new lowers to accept the secondary shocks
- Axles

Luckily Dirt King is taking care of me as far as absorbing some of the heavy cost that a new set of arms usually goes for because of the fact that I purchased the original arms from them when I did, so I got them for a decent amount cheaper than they normally go for. Maybe if and when I get the old stuff off someone will want a set of Dirt King arms for dirt cheap and they would just need to replace the uniballs and maybe replace the bushings if they choose to and call it a day.

 

I’ll be selling my Dirt King boxed uppers pretty soon, within the next month.

 

Same. Mine are gen 1 so they won't be boxed though. I went with full ball joint units up and down on these new arms. I don't want to mess with Uniballs or Delta Joints anymore.

 

Same. My DK lowers are the ball joint unit. I want to rid myself of the uniball uppers. I bought nitrogear’s tubular uppers with moog ball joints.

 

Not dirt king but I need to sell my stock length Total Chaos Race Lowers with dual shock and my Total Chaos Uppers as well. Along with a Full King stock/bypass setup that is no longer on the truck.

 

Looks like everyone is jumping ship on Uniballs these days and you know what, I don't blame them one bit.

 

I'm glad I never went down the uniball path. Sealed, greasable ball joint FTW.

 

Especially in my area. Much harsher conditions that just eat them up within a year or 2

 

Not jumping ship on Uniball just went to longer control arms

I wouldn't mind at some point going to a sealed version JD Fab or Camburg have.

 

What about EMF conversion? That’s what I’ll do when my uniballs wear out.

 

do tell. not familiar with the short hand on EMF. but have my suspicions

 

If I had any significant real world use…..or the money to blow, I’d do the 2.5 JD Fab LT kit. In a heart beat.

 

I would have done that but already had my TC +2 kit. I did install the LCA pivot and a couple of other things, so in a way, I'm halfway there. His inner fenders and TC Howe kit are very temping as well.

 

EMF makes sealed / rebuildable Uniballs and Heim Joints.

I’ve looked into them for my Camburg kit, as well as TMR who makes the same kind of stuff.

Neither company seemed to have the correct 1.25” uniballs, only 1” for TC kits and others that use a smaller bearing.
Heim joints for my uppers wee close as they had 3/4”, but it was 16TPI not 12.

both companies were relatively unresponsive when I inquired about parts and the sizes I needed.

I need to do a full replacement of 8 uniballs & 4 Heims on like Camburg kit. Probably will order normal ones from Kartek
