Magnuson Supercharger install and modifications

Okay - but you still have to get the electronics on with engine off. Must be a way to do that. I am of no help cause I am AT and had .vft prior. Hopefully someone can help - maybe @OpelGT he is MT.

 

If that is the issue, you’d set the key to the ACC position (and not turn fully for the starter).

 

I did try that already

 

screwed. can't be fixed. Expensive paper weight. Probably so simple but so unobvious. Oh well better get some duct tape. Instructions must be flawed.

 

lol I’ll call magnuson tomorrow the reader is probably defective thanks for the help

 

look in your Regional Section and see if anyone with .vft is near by - they can help you - id your ECU and get the software / drivers set up.

 

you may have skipped the part where you need to register your flasher.

 

I did send the email out just waiting to get register code

 

Well that’s why it doesn’t work yet.
You need that registry file.

 

Are you guys getting your top end speed unlocked with OVtune?

 

The magnuson tune is still governed at about 113mph like stock.

 

I feel your pain brother. Literally. Get well soon.

I cannot scrutinize your quote enough. You would be surprised how off you when you are guessing on the tune. Wideband information in the data logging is absolutely ESSENTIAL.

I see you guys have been checking out the 2nd gen thread.

Do not perform the FPR mod unless you have data logging available for it, it will change the fueling noticably.

The restrictor jet removal is IMO an absolute must!

You need to ensure that the plug you mentioned is the correct heat range to the ones you guys currently run A. And B. You need to make sure that the thread pitch, reach, etc is identical to you guys' plugs before you install.

All of this is very true.

Oo boy! It looks like a heavy flow restriction at # 1 and one at #3 as well. Port as needed and bank with more power.

 

I've got an extra Mishimoto OCC for sale if anyone wants/needs it. Box hasn't even been opened. Asking $95 shipped.

Here's the link for the product listing: https://www.mishimoto.com/aluminum-...7nIL7vIzcAuWX3jaeMKToPI0dFc7FBqIaAlslEALw_wcB

This can is large lol you'll be able to go a very very long time before really needing to empty it, unless you've got some insane blow-by issues. Lol pictures shown below of my engine bay, zoomed in on one to show it better.

 

It seems like the "OVTune was just as good" comments have subsided. Anxious to hear anyone that has towed with an automatic/Magnuson.

 

Do you still have it?

 

Yeah

 

Just a little FYI before anyone wastes their money you cannot FPR mod a Gen3 Tacoma.

 

waiting for my camper (2076 dry wt) to arrive soon. Will let you know how it tows here 6000-11,500 ft with AT - based on typical driving now I'd say it will do just fine. Certainly has the power and drives (AT) very nice.

 

did your SC arrive? Gotta be excited for it after all the delay. I'll be checking my USPS box for my CARB Cert to come this week. Been averaging 20mpg combined here in the city - but I'm easy on the skinny pedal and still breaking it in slowly.

 

I’ll take it
