TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

He’s long bed. It’s the short bed that’s a pain in the butt. Removing the bed in a short bed is not helpful.

 

Good to hear this can be a one man operation. If my bed bolts break loose without much effort I will be going this route.

I did mess with those fuel lines as they enter the engine bay not too long ago. Trying to remember why but they were in the way while doing something else. Maybe a gorilla mitten'd them...

 

I hooked up a fuel pressure gauge in the engine bay and verified the fueling issue. Then hooked them up in front of the tank and tested again. Issue was not present there.
If you have access to a fuel pressure tester that would help you verify if its the pump or line.

 

This would probably turn into a bullet solenoids V2 group buy because it is overseas. It may be difficult to arrange just because of international logistics, but not impossible.

 

I think their price is a little high for something that isn’t 100% tacoma specific. If they were like 3k I could see mix and matching mag parts to make it work great. Logistics for a group buy would be interesting but we have proven it can be done!

 

I thought their kit was specifically tailored for the 4.0 2G Tacoma was it not?

 

My build is almost complete. I can hear that whine already


@Scott B. @JGRTRDTacoma

 

It’s for a single vvti LC70 which we don’t have in the states. So I mean as far as stuff fitting it should be mostly fine right, but there is a reason magnuson sells fit kits for different vehicles even though the blower itself bolts up to the engine. I cannot confirm that they have a tacoma specific kit.

 

I'M STILL CATCHING UP ON THIS, BUT DID WE NOTICE THAT THE BYPASS VALVE IS UP FRONT INSTEAD OF IN THE REAR OF THE S/C?!

 

I mean, their website specifically says 4.0 Toyota Tacoma.



now whether the website is right or not who knows but it is marketed for the Tacoma on their website

 

Where did you get that mint unit

 

Purdy!!

 

Was @Scott B. setup that got sold to @JGRTRDTacoma that then got sold to me. Absolutely zero miles on it. I've been smiling the whole time installing it. I went ahead and changed out the water pump, bypass hoses, Idler pullies, new serpentine belt, and upgraded to a CSF radiator with HPS silicone hoses and ZZ Performance intercooler pump. Still have the AEM fuel pump to install and of course the OTT S/C tune.

 

Got any gauges yet? I'd be curious to see what the OTT tune is over the stock TRD Tune as far as afr numbers

 

I have an AEM X-Series Wideband and boost gauge I still need to install. Patiently waiting for @906taco to drop his new y-pipe line as well. Def learning as I go. This forum has been a gold mine. I'll post afr once it's dialed in.

 

Y pipe is dropped!

Can my 05 ecu be tweaked other than TRD reflash?

 

We have full access to that calibration, yes.

 

I don’t know that the website shown is the company making the charger. It almost seems to me like they are importing them but I could be wrong.
