TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

thanks @Gadget@URD for unscatched pulley. installations was smooth as butter , It was raining all day, did installation under tent.

 

If a dealer can do an ecu update they can do the TRD calibration. Mine did it for $125

 

Your IFS skid is scratched a little in that one spot there.

 

What size did you go with? Stealth pulley is obviously doing it's job lol

 

2.85

aluminum, lol. thats not the only thing scratched, slider and mid skid took a lot of beating too

 

Ha!

Hell, my IFS skid is reinforced 1/4” steel and its rubbing the diff.

I have a good pic somewhere of a buddy of mine’s old aluminum T-case skid bent around a big rock.

 

Nice, have you upgraded your clutch pressure plate yet since you've added the blower?

 

If anyone has a problem with getting a supercharger trd flash it is under the accessory tab in tis. A lot of dealers can’t find it. And a lot of dealers are dumb lol. You can still get it. And if someone needs it you can ship me your ecu. I can flash it and ship it back to you.

 

Ahhh gotcha. Thought you might be a little closer (there’s still room for a few cool peeps if you choose to relocate). And totally get you on the truck becoming a trailer queen. I won’t be able to get a tow vehicle for a few years so I still need to be able to drive mine on the road. Gonna start on a cage soon and then can’t wait to drive the truck 2k miles to the rubicon and back lol.

 

still stock clutch, and pressure plate. planning to get urd when it start slipping. still good so far, only thing i dont like about oem clutch is the high grab point.

 

We all start there...

There’s a Canadian on here that has a sub-2” pulley.

 

Meant to tell everyone I talked to the original owner and my truck still has the stock clutch in it. It has 132k and been boosted for about 7k now I think.

 

Nice.

I would move out there right now if I could.

Life...

Both of my Parents are sick. My Wife’s Mom is 85. We aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Well, we will most likely be in PA in a year or so. That’s almost a lateral move though.

2017 we arrived in Moab after dark. I opened up the RTT in the morning to see the sun rising over the mountains. I said to my Wife “Karen, look at this. Why don’t we live here?” And that was only the damned camp ground.

 

Are you talking about the plastic clip in the SC snout? I just grabbed a couple of body clips from the auto parts store. Didn't even measure. It was right on the money.

 

Question for everyone. I know for the 2.7” pulley it’s recommended to run the 70” belt with the issue being you have to cut ribs. I am not really comfortable doing that so I am wondering if anyone has any feedback on that. Should I go to the 69.5” belt? Stay stock? Maybe the rousch tensioner is required if I want to do the stock pulley. I am open to feedback. Thanks everyone

 

DO NOT go 69.5 with ththe Rousch tensioner or 69.5. Its too small and you will stress the pulley bearings, the tensioner, and you will also have a bitch of a time putting on the belt with the fan still on, if you put the belt on then put the fan on with the Rousch tensioner you will strike the fan clutch.

 

I was super sketched out about cutting a belt when I wanted to run a gates racing belt in factory length. But I did it and have since cut 3 more. Just get a new razor, a buddy and have them hokdbtgr belt and you cut a length and move/rotate the belt at the same time never lifting the razor and it works great. Step into the Danger Zone!

 

But but what happens if I think I did it right then put it on the truck and it explodes? THEN WHAT?
But seriously haha there has to be another way! I’ve never tried it but I guess I could buy a cheap belt to test on maybe.

 

Is that Rousch tensioner the same size as the stock unit??

 

Shit is gettin’ real. Wife is asleep while I drink and play mechanic. Best valentine gift ever.
