TRD supercharger availability update

It's possible but the routing of the intercooler water lines may require some creative thinking. The hardest parts to find for the S/C are the injectors and since you have those you should be ok.

 

Pretty sure the FJ SC radiator has different mount points and/or tube outlet/inlet locations. Someone on here did it and had to get stuff rewelded on it to make it work.

 

A few people on here have made the FJ kits work. They are buried somewhere in the 137 pages of this thread.

anyone bite the bullet on the overpriced Magnusson sc with the bully crap tuner? figure if no one buys it they'll lower the price...

 

Magnuson was the producer of the TRD S/C, Toyota just rebranded 'em

 

I know.... just figured the price would drop without the TRD paint job... if I got a new engine id go with URD because sc tune and install is lower than this crap, and then youd need a tune bc bully dog doesn't cut it...

 

Not just a tune, but a complete re-flash

 

Well, dealer says the FJ kit on Tacoma install isn't an issue, AND they claim to be able to source the handful of parts that are missing from the fit kit. I'm not sure if that means the have more parts "available" then they're letting on but I'm not going to stare a gift horse in the mouth. I'm hammering this naturally aspirated engine way too hard doing things I like to do in the mountains when it's my turn to drive a handful of people and their gear. After this, full cab and topper Prinsu methinks.

 

thought with the UCON you can skip the reflash, as you could program the injectors and fuel pump to properly fuel your truck? With the bully dog you can properly nuke your engine bay

 

Oh yeah, I read that wrong. No reflash necessary with the UCON

 

they come with the SCs.....

 

but itd be 4 centuries befor I can afford it... but maybe not with my new job and a full time working summer....

 

yeah, for a tune im debating UConn, or just urd maf cal... and I plan to cash up in the summer without a 100 mile daily commute

 

"This product will be in stock on Tuesday 01 March, 2016."

The kit includes a hand held ECU re-programmer to flash a new calibration file into the stock ECU to support the supercharger.

This Magnuson supercharger kit fits the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma with the 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 Engine.

The system is the same overal kit that was previously marketed under the TRD Brand name with minor exceptions.

The kit contains all the same parts as the former TRD kit, injectors, fuel pump, all the hoses, hardware, belt drive and so on.

Question for the guys with the supercharger installed. Do you hear coolant bubbling when you shut down the truck? It sounds like it's the left side of the engine bay where the supercharger coolant reservoir is. I hear it anytime my truck is warm and I shut it off. Bubbles for about 10 seconds or so.

 

....mine don't.

 

Yea I hear it every so often if I listen really close. The coolant pump usually runs for a few seconds after shut down and you can sometimes hear the coolant bubbling. More of a gurgle than anything

 

I hear the pump run but that kicks in after its shut off for about 10 min. I wil try to get a video. It just blup blup blup blup blup. Maybe I need to add some to the reservoir? The factory coolant reservoir is where it should be.

 

Mine has done it ever since I fixed the leak on the outlet of the reservoir for the heat exchanger. I have checked the fluid level multiple times and have added a little but makes no difference and fluid level hasn't been going down either. Everytime I shut it down bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop.
