TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I know the 3G isn't the cup of tea for the folks here, but I thought I'd drop this here and let folks know that with this under our belt, we're moving on to additional platforms.

That would be insane for us in Cali!

 

anything involving carb is a huge undertaking, congrats on the expansion

 

I siliconed and sealed around the vent hose, going to see if that indeed was where my .010" pinhole is escaping

My 90 day smog timer has started so as soon as I can get rid of this annoying intermittent p0456 code I can do that and get tuned

 

Absolutely massive news! Huge thank you and congratulations for that. I don't have a 3G but that is seriously awesome to see!

 

super cool @JustDSM now we just need some 2nd gen love!

 

Excellent work!!

 

Installed a RIPP Superchargers catch can tonight! It is made to bolt up near the radiator, but running the lines along the firewall of my FJ made more sense! On my other supercharged cars, I had both valve covers routed to the catch can (and even vented for my high boost), but I’ll see how this goes on the PCV side only!

Magnuson Supercharger Sticker to argue it’s the supercharger oil

 

Local guy a selling a complete unit, say it has everything needed for install, right down to the instructions as well.

what do you guys think? Looks complete? I need to replace the belt he says…came off of a truck with 59,000km.

 

What's the sell price?

 

Asking $6500cad, about $4700usd.

 

Buying used is always a little sketchy… but that looks more complete than the used TRD that I bought. Has all the main parts from what I remember on install.
Price is a bit high.

 

Inflation sucks.

 

Trd branded tax as well. If it was a plain maggy it would probably be a little bit cheaper. Most important thing is that the injectors are included so Id say it's a good deal, just needs a rebuild.

 

I’ll counter with a question. Is it worth it to you for the asking price plus $1500 if you need a rebuild, replacement parts, new coolant pump, random stuff?

What about plus $2k? (I’m just throwing four numbers, but this is thinking about if the rotors are bad and would need replaced). You have no idea what condition it is in unless disassembled.

 

Pretty high imo. For reference, i got my kit new from a guy that never installed it or even opened the boxes for $5000 and he paid shipping. I paid the paypal fees, so about $5200 shipped. Not bad for what they cost now.

 

At what temperature should I start worrying about coolant getting too hot? I have only gotten to 190 when I'm really getting on it

 

190deg F is perfectly fine

 

Right on just trying to think preventative maintenance in regards to a bigger pump/radiator for when the summer kicks on later

Thanks buddy working on one annoying smog code then I'll get that squared away and get you to tune me up

 

I've went as high as 212 under severe heat and duty conditions. You're good.
