TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Yah there is one now. That came out after the CSF. Seems to be built well. I may have considered that if it was available at the time.

 

If keeping thr mechanical fan was wanted, a single electric pusher fan for just a portion of the A/C condenser, could be viable. Wired into the MG CLT relay. To come on when the A/C is activated.

Otherwise, the one electric fan setup that @Roostfactor did, or two like @DocME did. I have two fans. However, one kicks on with the coolant temp. The other I have wired to come on the the cab fan is turned to any Fan speed position. So it effectively gives me instant cold A/C.

 

If I go e fan I would go the twin fan route as described

 

thanks guys. I like that idea of adding the single pusher @TOR. I may try that option first paired with that Mishimoto Rad.

 

Pusher def sounds like Nice idea too. Works great on the trans cooler.

 

Is there more write up on the setup? Electrical diagrams give me a headache. Or some more to help understand the setup? The extra fam for A/C is a great idea. =]

 

Hey I got I had my oem radiator as well. It had low miles before I put in the CSF.

 

I'm liking the specs of the Mishimoto Rad.. and I see they have some universal cooler and Trans cooler options including Trans cooler with E fan combo.. Need to get in there and see what will fit. On paper a Mishi Rad and that Trans cooler with E fan setup sounds like it should help out nicely. Only other thing I'd like to add is another pusher fan, like on the condenser like you said @Torspd, or just anywhere I can fit. I know I'm going to be limited on space for a lot of this stuff for sure.

 

Interested to see what you do. As it airs now right side is trans cooler/fan and left is open right now so a fan could be used for half.

Not sure why I never thought to add another fan there.

 

A more simplified schematic. This is the controller I went with. I used a timing relay for the A/C signal from the wire going to the fan clutch. This looks more complicated than it is. By the time you wire one fan to the engine temp and another to the a/c switch, this will put you ahead of the game. Plus the fans are only as loud as they NEED to be be to maintain a temperature.

 

This is a great video explaining why you want this high freq controller. Worth a watch:

You know, every time this topic reoccurs, I have to come back and quote your prior endeavors. There are many ways to accomplish a given task, but your method with the HF Controller for such large fans is the most refined and proper method.

 

I think if I tracked mine, something could be said for using the more simplistic relay approach. For any amount of street driving, I really like the PWM approach

 

I wonder if you remove all the SAI stuff.... Does the pump still cycle?

 

i meant to tie my switched power to the foglight relay assembly to prevent this. havent made time yet though.

 

yes. s/c pump. did you mean sai?

 

Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the purge valve installed in the correct location par the installation manual from Magnuson. It says to bolt it on the filler neck, but I had installed the blower before installing the purge valve and it seems like it doesn't want to fit. The connector seems to be hitting the valve cover, and bolting everything down is a no-go. I ended up zip-tieing it to a fuel line with a shorter hose to the blower, anyone happens to have a picture of their purge valve installed on their supercharger so I get a better idea of how it's supposed to go, it'd be much appreciated thank you in advance!

 

Thanks for the picture, my bracket looks a bit different, going to look through my extra bag of parts if I have that bracket. Your orientation looks different from the installation manual but looks easier to orientate, because the connector plug not facing the valve cover.
