Magnusson Supercharger....NOT WORTH IT!!

Yep, OTT making big gains with both 90mm (red) and 87mm (blue) pulley. Combine that with superb shift logic and other OTT fixes, and you’ll have a different truck.

 

Toyota most likely installed larger injectors and corrected valve timing.

The Magnusson tune is hot trash going with the yotawerx tune will make a huge improvement from off idle to redline. Its not a cheap tune and I waited awhile to get it because of that but it was 100% worth it. I have the stock 90mm pulley and for what i do with the truck has plenty of power. They do make a 87mm pulley that will up the boost to about 10psi and yotawerx makes a tune for that as well.

 

I have zero interest in a hotrodded tacoma

 

Please explain your Friday statement

 

Is an LS swap a "bolt on"?

 

All good, dont spend the money and you wont ever feel the rush of driving a tacoma that has the power it should have come with from the factory to begin with

 

Bet it still won't outrun a stock Ranger

 

If my tacoma was still stock id take that bet knowing im gonna come up on cash. Ive driven a stock ranger.

 

Anything can outrun a Ranger

 

Not to the service dept...thats for sure

 

Bingo. If I wanted performance over reliability, I would be driving something with an Eco-Boost right now. But seeing as I would prefer not to finance a vehicle longer than it will even last, here I am!

 

I don't get the point, anyway. The 3.5 is not meant to be a performance engine nor is the truck a performance vehicle.

It's like slapping a supercharger on a camry.

 

The point is to not be passed in the slow lane by the whoopty car and big rigs. I can keep up with the flow of traffic with my taco which has a gfc camper and gear inside.

 

Well for the cost of the truck plus the $~$10 Magnusson unit you could have just bought a better truck to begin with

 

Name a single mid size truck with v8 power that has the same reliability and resale as a Toyota Tacoma. Ill wait.

 

I looked and couldnt find one even offered with a V8

 

Hey, hey, hey…Don’t tarnish the Camry motor like that lol. The 2gr-fe, which the fks is based on, came in the camry AND the Lotus Evora. The current fks in the camry makes over 300hp stock too.

 

tldr, but I'ma guess you were one of those guys that just made a post saying "what mod should I do next" and just ordered whatever everyone said without any research

Edit: Who the hell told you installing a supercharger was "affordable"? a $10k mod on a $40k truck? Seems a bit out of proportion. Yet another case of "more money than sense".

 

Seems like OP slap on a supercharger with no supporting mods.
