TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

did you have him install the 02 ports up front and rear? Looks like it. something I had asked him about while ago.

 

There's ways around it. Right now, it passes electronically and visually without removing any equipment. I just carry in the carb exemptions and carry out the certificate.. The worst is when you get the winning shop and they won't even check your car after they spotted a catch can.. that's silly! I would have opted for a turbo set up long ago if there weren't these annual shenanigans. Congrats on the new score though! Praise to the turbo gods. Please share some details when you get it.

Yes. Looks close enough to the stock location (with the driver side port a bit lower than stock) and the single rear for a wideband. If I did need it. Possibly could remove the rear sensors and use for dual wideband

Exhaust goodies up for grabs from @MeJBRO

URD SPEC U headers, URD Mark II y-pipe, and URD Mark III side exit exhaust.

 

This is a heck of a deal for someone local to seller.

 

I decided to look into a different shop for the next group buy of upgraded tensioner studs. The last shop for the last group buy had crappy communication and was slow, although they did a good job in the end.

Also hoping to find a shop that will do rolled threads. No guarantee on that, but I will do my best looking around. There's tons of machine shops and I'm sure someone would be excited to have our business.

If you know someone who needs a set, here's the link to the group buy. We're close to a critical number of participants.

hello Fellas,

Got a question first time installing a supercharger on my truck.
Haven't seen anything on "fuel pump" do I have to upgrade or is stock pump okay to run.

Thanks in advance!!

 

you don't have to but its one that everyone highly suggests. I ran mine for several years before I upgrade it. If your keeping the S/C fairly stock for now you will be fine but the Fuel Pump is a good thing to consider down the line but it should not hold up installing it.

 

Thank you Robert
What pump are you currently running now ?

 

I have an AEM 320 installed. Several have this or the 340 installed. The Walbrough 255 is also popular. Any one of them would work. We were not pushing 500+ or even 400+ (the majority of us) for anything more extreme. Page one should have this listed as well.

 

Sweet dude ill probably order the aem 320 since i have the bed off right now.

thank you for your time !

 

3rd Gen, right? I think you have 2 pumps, one high pressure?

 

2nd gen

 

Get the kit from URD. It all adds a serviceable external fuel filter. I run the walbro 255 in my supercharged and non supercharged truck. Has been in my supercharged truck for 10 years or so with no issues.

 

thank you ill look into it !

 

yah you cant go wrong with either. URD makes kids that make it easy. I picked up an aftermarket drop in that also had the same plug as the AEM pump so no splicing was needed. I lucked on that by chance.

 

I just brought URD fuel pump kit with AEM 320 pump plus 2.5 pulley for next upgrade...next step to replace the spark plugs, which one better for our truck?
I try the one on 1st page and it run into Amazon page and it said doesn't fit with our truck... some say choose NGK over denso one. Anyone has try it yet?

I read somewhere in here after all those mod done we can regear the diff. My question is... is it by regear the diff to help if we run with big wheels or help with the rpm getting lower when cruising because right now if I run 80mph my rpm at 3K,
Is it normal ?

 

You can re gear the truck whenever you want. Many of us including myself had that done before the S/C but not required in anyway. One thing to understand about page one are things that we have tested and tried but they wont say they fit if you look them up. Much of it is try at your own risk but most are tried and true in the group but opinions and suggestions have been removed or changed over the years.

Depending on what you're changing, sticking with the plugs that come with the S/C are just fine. I switched to the Ruth plugs but will prob go back to the OG plugs. I would prob only re gear if your running heaver larger tires and/or are heavier.

 

I have not re-geared and don't plan on it.

Light 32.1" skinny tires (~43lb) on 17x8" lightweight wheels (21lb). Rough guess is 700lbs over stock with camper, tool bag, supercharger (+60lbs I think), bigger aluminum skid, bedrug, fridge, AGM and a few other things.

 

Welp, guess I'm going to be the guinea pig (unless I missed someone else giving it a try). Order placed today, after talking to the shop here in Colorado that is the US authorized dealer. Not sure why the Tacoma S/C is cheaper than the FJ, 4Runner, and Tundra options.

 

yah its def not needed. my truck was a pig. 35's

Good question it is the single bs dual bbto and larger engines. Only thing I can think of.
