Magnuson SC build list… Recs needed!

Light weight wheels and tires would help too.

 

Hahaha, touchè

 

Just the 4Runner TRDs with 265/70/17s

 

So… I pussed out. Between building a new house due to the floods in Florida and tricking out the boat last year I think spending $17k on the dream build is a little gluttonous.

HOWEVER… I am going to do everything leading to SC to see how contented I am with that and then circle back to the SC after I finish the house. This should run about $4k. Hoping to get slightly under 300hp/320trq with this. Will get a dyno done after install and tune (eta 5/31; proof is in the puddin’ as they say ya dig).

Anyone think a new pump for the radiator is worthwhile?

Anywho, have the SC list for the future so we’ll see how long before I get bored

 

Edited your list. Not trying to be a piece here but a lot of this stuff doesn't really matter. Saving some $$$ and take your lady to a nice dinner.. NA is going to peak out somewhere in the 250 range.

 

My setup makes me want a X runner. 35s with 488s is quick but the drivetrain hates it.

 

You and me both...

 

My wife eats well. I’ll tag you when I dyno brother.

(I may be eating my words—not uncommon)

 

How do you like your 4.88 and 35’s? Auto or manual??

 

Wasn't a dig, most of those mods have been tested for efficacy. Great thread to read through here:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/1gr-fe-single-vvti-dyno-testing-by-ott.759616/

 

Auto, turns 2600 rpm at 70mph. Can't floor it from a stop or it tries to roast the tires and the back end bounces around. In the rain with the locker the truck is borderline dangerous.

 

Overall happy though? And that sounds dangerously fun lol

 

Yes very happy, I would never recommend anything other than 4.88s. 430s/456 are a waste in my opinion. 300 rpm difference isn't going to change anything short or long term.

 

it’s all good as I said anticipate going through with the SC at some point in which case these wouldn’t be throwaways but rather accretive to overall power.

Anyhow, my Taco also has “that dog in him” (very low KCLV, detonation, a rabid family of possums) so I’ll be sure to dyno regardless to serve as another data point.

 

Have you done a current or baseline yet?

 

5.29's are fairly common where I am.

 

That will be the flow: pre-nebulous-HP-adding upgrades, post-nebulous-HP-adding upgrades, then Magnusson (going this way as desire the low end power more)

 

It’s super fun now with the supercharger on 35’s, let alone regeared. Think I’m going to go with 4.88’s, hoping by fall.

 

Truck problems the FJ just lifts a wheel.

Same 35s on 4.88, it's ok but I could go 4.56 and still be happy.
