TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Rotors ship out from high speed lab next week!
Got my big fuel pump installed as well as TRD ecu. Thanks @JustDSM. Truck not happy on stock airflow right now as to be expected. And no I'm not driving around. Just pulling from bay to bay to work on it.

 

@JustDSM helped me with my TRD tune that is needed here in Cali. Just got another ECU flashed by him specific to mods and it is significantly improved over the Toyota tune.

 

Nice, I'll probably go that route too, I put off getting the tune since I had to smog last week.

Meanwhile my conversion is almost done waiting on rear driveshaft to be done this week

 

I have this as well.

 

Does it work decent for install? There must be a measure of brute force required? It worked great for removal.

 

for cam swaps it takes much more oomph to compress siffer than stock springs. the correct tool is important.

 

Yeah, there's no mechanical advantage to this tool. Requires gripping and pushing down really hard.

 

if it doesnt have a lever bar its nearly impossible to assemble. hulk strength needed but you need finess too.

 

That's what I figured. I could probably rig up something that holds the tool and gives the leverage needed.

 

Anyone know the torque for the supercharger nose assembly?
Oil quantity for it?
I can't find the info

 

My heads were off during the installation. So yes, I had an advantage in that sense, for the Oomph.

 

just performed maintenance last week.
6oz, but fluid started running out at 5oz. Read others had the same experience.
Torqued by feel. Recommend torque wrench. The aluminum seems exceptionally soft.
I need to buy some torque wrenches.

 

not sure I captured right specs but maybe 20 ft/lbs from this doc ?? http://www.grandprix.net/upgrades/magnuson.html

 

Thanks for the reply. I already got it back together. I use universal bolt specs. I did 23nm. Truck is running good with no rattling noise at start up now.

 

nice, I keep debating on going down that rabbit hole. Good news my rear axle and all or most of the critical parts have now arrived Hoping its driveable and back on the road next month.

What else has been going on down here? Miss any good ess?

 

Mine was a full 2wd to 4wd conversion so it made things easier going with the FJ tcase. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to fill the transmission fluid lol
I did the get the front torqued and dropped back on the ground now though!

 

Nice that would make things easier for sure.

 

Pretty nice component I received today. Very nicely machined and arrived in perfect shape.

 

what is this sorcery?
