TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

THANK YOU!

Bling bling factor is not worth it on a California vehicle, and the OE fuel rails are good until a ridiculously high amount of HP.

 

Yah that’s what I have gathered from everyone’s input

 

get everything assembled. fuel rails are top dog show pieces. youre not missing out.

 

Figured as much. Key phrase is get it all assembled. May tackle it myself if I can’t get in with my brothers shop soon

 

If I go with the 2.5 pulley I have and run 650 injectors is the updated fuel pump a must? I do have an AEM 320 I plan install but mainly looking at options. I am limited on time so I need to plan out what is a nice to have vs must have. Waiting on the FIC injectors and a HP tuner that that I scored from @DocME

Either go 3.0 stock SC pulley, 2.8 or 2.5 depending on what mods I can get done initially.

 

aem makes a great fuel pump. it should be one of your first mods. then any pulley will be great. smaller the better of course!

 

Yup fuel pump should be the first thing you do, even more so if running larger injectors. Might as well get some fancy rails while your in there

 

When I run out of things to do I’ll bling the fuel system. Already got the AEM so it’s going on. Given installing it’s a bit more involved was weighing order of I need to prioritize. I figured the pump would be better first so that confirms thatZ

 

I have them. Welded my stock cats to them. They work. Been installed for roughly 30k. No issues with them so far. I’m not crazy about the alignment of the primary with the exhaust port on the two rear most cylinders tho. It’s kinda off a bit. I also found them to be about 3/4” too short when I initially installed them. Had to extend them a bit. Easy fix for me, but might be an issue for those paying someone else to install them.

Pic was taken after I’d fit up and tacked it all together. I took them home afterwards and welded it all up. Welding stainless properly requires filling the tube with an inert gas to prevent sugaring of the weld.

 

id like to see a jfr y-pipe option with factoy cats used. only a matter of time as i see him including our cali brothers.

 

+1 for sarcasm font!

 

I saw this. Was leaving Thursday night and spotted a turd gen with hptuners graphics. Hood was up, so, I got nosey. Owner chatted me up for a bit. He works for Rogue. Spoke to Harrop the next day. They hesitantly admitted that they’re currently developing this blower for the 1gr. But, no promise date. Tvs1900. Improved manifolding and intercooling. I haven’t fact checked this yet, but, I was told that the blower was capable of 500 hp airflow. Quick change pulley out of the box, cool. I see this blower in my truck in the future.

 

That’ll be nasty!!! That’s pretty cool that you got to see it.

 

Maggy version. Hptuners doing the tuning for both Harrop and Magnuson.




$6500!

I chatted them up too. The $6500 is an “estimate”.

 

Spoke to these guys too.

 

Much want

 

Fancy lights for early 2nd gens. Spec-D tuning

 

It would appear that we are in the golden age of tuning of these trucks. I actually forgot about this. SEMA is fuckin nuts. SO MUCH to see

 

That be the one to have out of the two.

 

Cool shit!!
