TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Np, its exactly what i did to be honest.

 

I just used a smaller size, because what is coming from the FPR, what is coming from the boost port, and what is coming from the gauge are all different size hoses needed for mine. So I just used one size for all of it, even if it is a tight fit.

 

the gauge port is super small! much much smaller than the port on the SC. I dont know how I am going to reduce the hose size

 

Just run one singular size like I did. Make the hoses fit by spraying a little lubricant in them. Lol.

 

Ill get pictures later. I was planning on doing that, but the port on the gauge is like 3mm, and the SC is 10mm, for example..

 

Yep. It's freaking stupid, but that is the best way to run that.

Get the size fangered out, then get a reducer, or T reducer type deal in the link

 

@fatfurious2

Assorted reducers ive accumilated over time...

Notice the orange cap on 1 of em?
Thats my original boost port cap (factory).... it fits perfect on the 1/4" side of that reducer
Zoom in on bottom pic, u can see the size imprinted on the reducer

 

thank you! Now I need to get to Napa

Or, now that i walked into my cold ass garage, moved truck, popped hood.... heres my connections.....not boost referenced, but the Tee allows me to boost reference in seconds as shown in my video i posted somewhere recently. I just gotta swap a cap and the intake line.

Now, i cant recall where exactly i got this Tee. I pologize

Maybe it was a lowes special now that i think of it and compression fitting. I dunno, i had 2 diff boost gauges and a line/compression stock i hoarded over time....crap

 

no worries! I got a Tee with the gauge. And I have some hosing from something else. This was my plan, but the hosing that comes with the gauge, and the Tee do not work together. Go figure!

 

Hope it all works out. I slept like shit so, sorry if anythings unclear.
Anyone whos been here long enough is prolly used to my jibberish

 

Hooked up the boost port to the FPR. Going to see if that helps with my 5th gear sub 2krpm occasional knock. Wideband getting welded in next week or so. Truck seems to run rich AF on the UCON tune.

 

Subbed

 

Gunna run richer with boost reference too.

 

Couple things. What sort of octane you running, next, OE or aftermarket fuel pump, and finally, how many miles on your plugs? IKH 22 or 24?

 

Oh lawd! Another SC thread to sub to.

 

Another?! You mean the ONLY SC thread to subscribe to!

 

Sooo... I jailbroke my old iPhone and it's set up on a DIY bracket similar to where the cops have their laptops and all that jazz. Using the torque app to monitor temps and whatnot.

Can I somehow relocate the boost gauge and wideband AFR readings to it? Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to use the torque app for tuning, just monitoring after tuning is already done. Honestly cannot for the life of me stand the look of the extra gauges no matter where you put those fuggers

 

I wonder if my little 2.7 supercharger has a restricter jet.
