TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Nice thank you

 

I have the snout cutter.

 

You're welcome. There are other options for quick change pulleys too but I don't have personal experience on fitment of anything other than the URD 2.8.

Also, you should chat with @JustDSM. I had him flash an ecu and ship it to me so I didn't have to deal with getting the tune locally and I can revert back to stock...not that going back to stock is likely to happen.

 

I will be in touch about this as well and ecu in a few weeks.

Supercharged guys are a friendly and helpful bunch.

 

Looks like @JustDSM may be able to hook you up. If not, suggest posting in the Supercharger owners loan/ buy/ sell/ thread.

 

this is the best thread on the forum with the best people.

 

Seeing that quickly, no gatekeeping.

 

I have the regular stealth 2.8 from URD I didn’t have to cut anything. I believe it is only for 2.7 and below.

 

I have 120K on mine. and it sounds nothing like that

 

Yes! I used my eyeballs and actually read urd's site and they say everything under the 2.8 pulley requires snout cutting. Less money I have to spend to make 60hp!

 

As I said lol, mine was ROACHED.
good as new now though. Putting close to 8psi and howling like a cat.

 

2.8 pulley definitely worth it !
That and cam gears made a these things work like you expect them to for the $

 

Sucks I cant just slap this on my 225k 05 motor. Going to freshen up the 133k engine im getting as well as rebuild charger and swap engine in.

 

I will be robbing my mighty cam gears from my 05 engine when I do the swap

 

Picking everything up sunday morning from my buddy, i will post obligatory pics when its in my garage.

Im excited to have the extra power of course, a huge plus that its an OE TRD unit, but its more of a dream to have built my bone stock prerunner to 4x4, then long travel, and now the pinnacle, supercharged. My wife didnt even put up a fight she knows how much I want it.

 

Nice! On the snout cutter it’s for below 2.8 as mentioned. I would cut it now if you even are considering smaller less hassle later on. You’ll like the S/C it’s no race truck but it wakes up the 4.0 for sure.

 

Got her home, looks like 2.8 pulley already installed? Measure from inside ribs. Back side has no room to go any smaller.

 

Could be a stealth 2.8 but looks like the OG pulley. Is that dirt in the middle or a broken bolt? That’s going to be a pain.

 

Just some mud.

 

So not gonna lie, sounds like rocks when spun by hand. Pulled it all apart and nothing looks bad so far, rear of rotors have some touch marks, no metal in oil, oil was clean. Noise was from rear where needle bearings are, by finger they feel ok, need to bring home inside bearing puller to remove. Im guess rear bearings are worn and causing back of rotors to barely touch maybe?

He said it always pulled hard before he wrecked it, i trust him.
