TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Yeah I made a bracket but literally have zero room between the frame tank and Atlas, I already rubbed a hole in the first filter mounted here lol, wiggled into the path of the tcase flange. Used a hose clamp and a shit ton of zip ties to put it further away from the flange, but now is even closer to the exhaust, under the hood would be waaaaay better, if possible.

 

Could run the fuel filter from the overseas fj cruiser

 

Where is that one located?

 

Engine our driverside I believe

Cool, I wonder how hard it is to get filters

 

Shouldn't be that difficult. I bought something from the uae Middle East area and it arrived in like two days and was cheaper shipped then any dealer stateside.

 

Magnuson released to market their new/larger blower for the Tundras. Looking forward to the release of the new 3.4l for older tacos and 4runner!

only now if they would do a 2nd gen version.

 

Interesting, looks to have some special fittings and likely would not bolt right up. Ill see if I can find a diagram and see what else would be involved, thanks for sharing.

 

Picking up a TRD blower this weekend with 129k miles, prolly no maintenance history. Should I preventivaly pull it apart and rebuild, or just change the oil in it and see how she does?

 

I’d pull it apart.
I bought a “just rebuild” TRD one about a year and a half ago and took the nose off to change the oil / put a solid coupler in it… ends up the whole thing needed a rebuild. new bearings and the actually rotors were toast. Didn’t end up saving a more than maybe $500 on a brand new one.

 

Thats disheartening

 

Yep, I wouldn’t buy a used one unless it was CHEAP or guaranteed that was rebuilt by a reputable source and has paperwork/documentation.

If no documentation, budget in a rebuilt to the purchase price, plus shipping. It’s probably not much more to buy a new one. And if you’re doing that, I think there are several in here that would just recommend a pro charger these days with current ability to tune with HP Tuners.

 

Im getting an engine as well with 133k miles. Suoercharger was installed by dealer at 5k miles. Yes, its relatively cheap.

 

With 129k on the blower, I would definitely assume it needs a rebuild.

 

Im cool with bearings and the coupler, what are the odds of rotor damage?

 

But, at the end of the day, I ended up with a factory TRD blower, that I know will be good for many years to come. 2.8 inch pully and a solid coupler for free.

 

When I pull this thing apart, if there is rotor wear will it be obvious? Is there a tolerance to be measured between the rotors?
