Magnuson Supercharger Mega Thread for 16+ Tacoma - Unboxing, Install DIY, Dyno Video

I like mine too

 

Yours looks super nice. Mine is more for people who need glasses but refuse to wear them.

I can't quite tell, what guages are you running there?

 

Can you get a boost gauge without removing the supercharger?

 

Boost, trans temp, oil pressure.

 

Hey all, I have a potentially dumb question, but would rather be safe than sorry.

Now that the SC is installed on my 3rd Gen, I can’t hear it at all. I haven’t noticed any SC whine with windows up or down. Is this normal? Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer it to be quiet, but wasn’t sure if this is the same experience as others have, or if potentially not hearing anything means it’s not running correctly?

Again, probably a dumb question since I definitely feel the extra power and torque while driving it, but hey, you never know!

 

I can't hear mine either.

 

Same. Helps me keep my foot out of it

 

Awesome thanks for the input!

Super happy with this thing! Super charger + 5.29 + OTT, the truck can now climb up into the rocky mountains at 65-75 MPH while holding 6th gear. And highway cruising is an absolutely breeze. Can’t wait to get some longer roads trips with this thing to see how the long distance MPGs hold up. Might be my right foot playing tricks on me, but cruising on the highway yesterday I was getting 20-21 MPG where previously I would get 18-19.

 

were you going downhill lol

 

lol not particularly, just a normal stretch of highway I drive pretty frequently. To be fair, I was trying to see what kind of fuel efficiency I could get, so maybe not a true apples to apples comparison. Wasn’t really driving any slower than usual though.

 

Not much for flat ground around me but my trucks usually about 16mpg per tank. What size tires?

 

Magnuson released a statement about this a few years ago, saying that the classic supercharger whine is actually a sign of inefficiency and that their new blower design is much more efficient and therefore quieter.

YMMV

 

Still seeing the same or a bump in mpgs?

I've been contemplating a maggy. I'm rocking 5.29s on 265/65r16 and will be making the switch to 33s this spring. My mpgs didn't really change overall with the 5.29s and I see 15-16 average (15-16 in the flats, 16-18 in the mountains), and I see better in some situations, but I'm worried a maggy is going to tank economy from an already mediocre number. I head to the mountains a few times a year, with either a 2k lb squaredrop camper in tow or with a RTT and overland weight. The lack of power unless screaming at 4.5k rpm is starting to get old.

It's either maggy the taco or switch to a Gladi diesel. I can deal with having good power but mediocre mpgs, but having poor power and mediocre mpgs is just not sitting well with me. I would love the power and economy of the Gladi, but the Jeep reliability has me hesitant.

 

I haven't noticed any penalty on mpgs since adding the maggy. I have put in around 8k miles so far and got the OTT tune on it and this thing is transformed IMO. I regeared to 488's and run 33s, and my rig is just a pavement princess so I don't offroad or do any mountain climbing or anything. HWY driving and around town.

Is anyone running a lightweight crank pulley? I reached out to them and they said that the pulley should have the keyway necessary for the maggy pulley to mate together. It would be nice to offset some of the additional rotating mass.

 

controversial mod. without the dampener in stock pulley its said thay harmonic vibrations can damage the engine. with that being said many people including me have ran them for nearly 10 years with no issues.

 

I had the LCE version on my 1st gen and never had a problem, but it was N/A. Not sure if a spinny boi exasperates things

 

Wish there was a fluidampr option for our trucks

 

Exactly what I researched when I saw the post above. I have one on my Subaru with a built IAG block. Looks like there wasn’t enough demand: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fluidampr-group-buy.802800/

 

If anyone on this forum is looking to buy a cheap brand new in box super charger……. Check this out….
