Upgraded studs for TRD/Magnuson Supercharger tensioner

I haven't. Tacoma getting a turbo but most likely will install on the 4runner.

 

I have not. I have less than 10k miles on the supercharger at this point. Figured I'll replace the studs at the next major service.

 

I haven’t yet either. I’m still a ways away from replacing spark plugs, nose oil change, etc and that’s when I was planning on installing them.

That time continues to get pushed out as I have a cheap EV as my “daily”, so I put maybe 150 miles per month on the truck now.

 

After getting water/methanol working again, the truck runs great.

Had my issues, after the first test pull the truck got super ornery and would stall immediately after starting it and ran terribly. I was stuck in a left hand turning lane and it sounded terrible too, like I'd blown the supercharger or something. Some redneck offered to help me push my truck out of the intersection. But I started it up a few times and it ran fine. So I reset the engine computer and all was good after that. My truck just likes to scare me sometimes.

Also fixed a leak on the water/meth system in a strip mall parking lot. No rednecks were around that time. After that, things all seemed good. One small leak after redoing the lines isn't bad at all.

Anyways I'm running great. Strong, good throttle response, easy to rev match when downshifting.





Raised the tablet mount and put some bracing on it. I spared no expense on that, let me tell you. Oh well. One has to give oneself gifts.

 

That was supposed to be in my build thread. Oops

 

do the shorter threads go on pulley or block side? I’m assuming pulley side but I can’t remember

Nevermind the slot is on longer thread side

 

Shorter threads are supposed to go into the block. So you can snug the unthreaded part of the shaft right up to it.

 

Snug, not ugga-dugga, correct?

 

Right!

 

Loctite never hurt anyone either....

 

This reminded me, I've been running mine now since May. Went back in last week to take off the tensioner, the studs were still nicely seated and tight. No thread lock. I know one person had an issue though. So not a bad idea as a layer of safety.

 

Late to the party here….are you still doing the one off sets for the fashionably late crowd?

 

I would be happy to! I'll send you a DM for details.

 

Awesome ! Thanks!

 

Hey everyone,

Bumping this thread - the machine shop is making me ONE last set, so first person who messages and says they want it can have it for $300 CAD shipped (great deal for the US folks because of the exchange rate!). They will make more, however it will be a minimum of 15 buyers for a group buy.

For those still interested, please let me know if you'd like a set, and once we get enough interested guys I'll start up a group buy again.

 

Christmas come early! If they are not spoken for yet, I’ll take them! Thanks!

 

Absolutely! I will send private message.

 

Final sets mailed out.

Anyone who finds this, let me know your level of interest and I will rig up another group buy! We would need a minimum of 15 people.

 

I would like a set. If anyone does not need theirs anymore, I would be happy to buy them off of you. I’m am interested in the group buy as well. Thank you!

 

I'll put you down as interested in a future group buy!
