TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

@TheFang this is the next flywheel i'll be buying. It's aluminum but has steel friction material so you dont have to pull the flywheel off to get it resurfaced, just replace the steel plates. I checked and they come in a kit for like 80 bucks.

I may just have to update page 1 with this info, that's very useful for all of us. Thanks man!

Damn, tech sure has come a VERY long way since the days I installed my Fidanza flywheel on my 1994 3000GT.

 

Depends on application for flywheel, if you wanna go fast and all then lighter. But if you wanna tow or rock crawl or do the trail stuff then id go with stock flywheel.

 

But how about that rear end? New axles/ Diff or just wait for that to go? Have ECGS build you something? Or maybe it's not much of a worry with stock sized tires. Unless you go all out on the LS?

 

I’m not sure yet. It might be a many year project. With a 3 and 1 year old at home it’s hard to find time to do anything. But I’m thinking if I do it. Build it right for all the horse powers. Would love to twin turbo and throw a Ford 9” in the rear or something.

 

I might have one with a stage 3 urd clutch...

 

Honestly
I dunno what I want. I feel embarrassed like I’m a woman lol. I was to ls swap but no it’s a lot of work and a lot of money. But I no building a 1gr is a lot of money and still won’t make $500hp. But I no it will all bolt in. Brian crower quoted me $1800 for pistons and rods. They best they have. But if I parted out my engine after I fix it. And all the mods I could start the fund of the ls. I just don’t no.

 

LS ftw. Way better than the 1gr. The t56 is a terrible shifting transmission though. Notchy as could be. Hands down the worst manual ive driven. Motor itself though is great. It puts a smile on my face everytime i hear it start up. Dont have to downshift a lot of the times because it actually has the torque to pull through the gear.

 

Have you ever drove a 6 speed tacoma? Lol. Almost like my cousins 6 speed f350.

 

Agreed, definitely info worthy of the pg 1

Would you be willing to part with just the flywheel?

Build it while its out, throw the s/c back on with the snake bite mod, and then get yourself a bigger turbo for the top end. Thats my plan when my motor blows

 

If I ls swap. Everything for sale lol.

 

I have not

 

If I keep 1gr. I’m gonna do pistons and rods. With head studs. And Probly get cams and valve springs. So it can rev more and take some more boost. And do as much port work as I can.

 

The reality is for me, I dont have the time to do an ls swap. Ill have a way easier time just droppin this 1gr right back in. Convenience is worth alot here

 

Ya that’s what I’m debating on. I can keep the motor on the stand at work. And have the winter to do what I want.

 

I'll be interested depending on price for the supercharger. I'm waiting till November to buy a supercharger if I get new.

 

Boy, this sounds more confusing than a gender reveal party.

The issue with the notchy shifting was actually the shifter and it's long unconfident throws into the gearbox. As soon as you switched over to a Hurst or B&M short throw shifter it was like Christmas in the Goats.

You know, and here I was thinking all of this time that you had a blower already, it sounds like you are prepping and stockpiling parts though. You'll like the blower after you throw all the mods on, I promise.

 

Yeah no the taco is still n/a but will be boosted in December. The 4runner on the other hand will be going turbo. For tx2k trolling.

 

How exciting! We lost a few members in the fold who are still around due to blown engines, but we have gained a few in the process.
