TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Summit makes a plethora of these in different shapes and sizes, and many for cheaper prices. MM quality is iffy at best in my experience.

 

I'm a little shocked: 1) that you are selling the setup 2) there isn't a whole lot of other talk here about it

Did I miss something? @Murphinator didn't you just break a lower stud or was that someone else?? why part out?

 

No worries sir, I still have my setup! Indeed I did break a lower stud but that’s all fixed now. That is a spare supercharger I purchased a while ago, since I was spending so much time ordering stuff from SCOL I figured may as well buy the stuff to make it a full kit and sell it.

 

Whew.... didn't want to ask and hear that you were parting out and selling for a Ranger or Tundra, etc..

 

As much as my truck can be a love/hate relationship, I think I am just going to focus on upgrades vs getting a new vehicle. The new taco seats are nice but too much BS and they are smoking some good stuff with their pricing haha.

 

THIS is a nice piece! I'm gonna have to add this to page 1 here when I get a chance.

I really need to know who their plug is for sure because all these new vehicle prices are being priced out by someone who is on some really good stuff.

 

Must be on that HB pack if you know what I mean..

also if it’s not already on the front page but may be worthy,
The stock tensioner is a gates 38274. Bonus is the idler pulley it comes with is a direct replacement to the large smooth pulley with 6203 bearing.

 

Is that an older magnuson nose drive before they had their name cast on them? I noticed it didn’t have a TRD or Magnuson logo. I like how clean that looks

 

that expansion tank looks all too familiar but nice looking piece.

 

nice catch I had not noticed that.

 

Whoa you are right, I never even noticed that.

Looks like AFE is trying their hand at high output coils.

 

So whos going to bitye? only 20% more power than RIPPS 40% HA AFE usually has good stuff. Hard to say they are not coming from the same place.

 

I don’t think we need more power in our ignition coils to be honest I’d rather put that $$$ towards new denso coils.

 

After trying my hand on some RIPP's for a while I finally conceded after my misfire issue that they caused and have to say that there is no greater output and reliability to be had than in stock units.

 

I wonder if there should be a section on page 1 for AVOID/NOT RECOMMENDED.

 

AMEN

 

Yah when I have an issue ill pull them out and I will likely put the stocks back in. I have backup RIPs in case.

 

That's not a bad idea. There is some major updating I need to do to page 1 involving new mods discovered by some of you that I haven't gotten the chance to do because either I forgot about it or I just straight up haven't had a chance to do it yet.

The avoid not recommended section is not a bad idea at all.

 

Alignment problem with SCOL pulley:

Working on the truck today installing the SCOL “upgraded” pulleys as described in @Murphinator ’s post: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ricks-and-mods.518932/page-2504#post-29676685

While doing this, I kept in the back of my mind Murphinator’s recent catastrophic stud failure.

Here’s what I found regarding the upper ribbed pulley (#1 in pic below)


After taking the original pulley off, I noticed that the inner collar didn’t seem to be at the same depth. Realizing the bearing thickness is different, I decided to line them up on something flat (the wife’s granite countertop hehe). As expected, the groove points didn’t line up, so I shimmed with some paper:



Now that I knew the pulley grooves were level to each other, I put the collar into one, and then into another. You can probably see in the pics below how off it is:




I’d say it has to be a 1/16 to 3/32 difference . This would essentially thrust the “new” pulley outward. Perhaps this wouldn’t have a great effect on pulleys that were far apart, but given the close distance between the grooved #1 pulley and the grooved supercharger pulley, this can’t be good, and I’m not surprised if it would throw a belt like this.

Luckily for me, my original pulleys aren’t in bad shape, so they are going back on. I guess I’ll look into buying an original set if I can find them.
