3.5L Supercharger

Four guys at work have a 3rd gen including me and all the care about is that it looks bad ass.

All 3 of them didn't even know what the ECT button did till I told them. Just glad I'm the only 4x4 and person that uses it as a damn truck.

 

And a re gear.

 

I agree. A supercharger would be a nice bolt-on. Although I feel like it's already tuned for a turbo, lag and all.

 

Plumas County is exempt. Had a used car dealer tell me years ago had to certify my car every year or two, told him no. Moved on to another dealer.
I bought my truck for wood cutting and to make sure I could get to town after a snow storm. We don't have a reliable snow plow person to plow our private road.

Anyone have some guesstimates how much extra hp we could get on like 5 pounds of boost? What price point does this company usually have? Like 6k? I've never gone supercharger, only turbo. But I think I'm ready.

 

Rule of thumb is 10 HP per 1 psi of boost, so with 5 psi you would gain 50 HP.

 

Word of caution, I'd quiz the Magnuson guys well. I heard the Tacoma Chief Engineer say the new 3.5 liter may not tolerate superchargers well. Best

 

Nope, just you and NY, everyone else realizes strict emissions is too little too late

 

Any updates? Almost mid 2018...

 

Not yet, last checked with them in mid March and they replied that it was still in development. No timeline on release.

 

If you are worried about smogging it just trade it in and transfer blower from old taco to new taco. . .

 

Sub'd!

 

5 months no updates?

 

No, but there's a twin turbo kit in the works:

Twin turbos will be first to market and they'll be there far before anyone else

 

So I’m guessing it never came out?

 

No and most likely never will. Magnuson gave up

 

Did you mean released mid 2019?

 

Nope that's what they told me at the time. Guess it was just some BS. Several ppl have called recently and they get told it's in development with no timetable on release. I doubt they are doing anything at this point. Probably to many other projects requiring less R&D and with higher demand.

 

OVTune contacted Magnuson for a possible partnership of some sort but they brushed him off. Maybe once his Turbo Kit hits the market they will finally realize what he has been saying is true.
