TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Ha. The ME degree wants you to have cams. You see volumetric efficiency increasing. You know this is a good thing.

 

So the real question is why are you not buying cams?

 

My reasoning due to this website

 

I feel you. I want the cams badly but I don’t think I am going to be able to have the cash for them. Too many trips planned and also everyone in my family decided to have their birthdays in July and August lol.

 

Yeah im in the same boat. Strapped for cash. Id also be lying if i said i wasnt a little afraid of the cam install..

After seeing everyone install theirs, im sure i will have to get on board at some point, just not sure when. Pretty awesome theres a company out there offering a grind for our S/C'd 1GR though!

 

Yeah, I am also terrified of the install but my thinking was I would buy them and wait for the others installing theirs to work out the kinks and post the easiest way to do the cams and the valves which I am more worried about.

 

I am excited for all of these people getting anxious to get into their engines!

 

I wants to. I really does. But I don't know where to get the money.

I assembled my car from the block up including doing the valves and the cams. It's really not that hard.

 

Just spent $3k on the rear bumper for my 80. WTF was I thinking?

 

I think it’s easier when you are putting it together vs taking it apart while it’s already in the truck.
But I agree on the $$ part

 

Yikes! I hope you got a nice swingout for that price

 

I have the new valve gaskets, plenum gasket, spark plugs, and retard gears.... almost time to pull the covers off.

 

But if you put new valves in, you're removing the heads. So new valves can be done with the head on a bench. Bam, easy!

 

Canadian boost. Totally different.

 

I heard there is a way to do it with out taking the heads off. I don’t want to take the heads off because when those fuckers come off what’s to stop me from just doing springs?

 

Much like their Maple syrup.

 

But in other news my subwoofer enclosure is all assembled and ready to go in. I'm having a fitment issue at the seat which is currently hitting at the physical seat back material itself despite the plastic being off so I'm going to have to shift the bracket forward an inch or so.

 

Looks like this w/o the right-hand swing-out.

 

3k seems very expensive but it is awesome

 

They have all that cold air up there that boost loves, come down here to the desert and see how it is haha
