TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

a 3rd gen reference perhaps.

 

way too long man.

 

Good info there. Also another thing to note for people who still have cats on their trucks. I believe high zinc oils can damage the cats over time.

if you are using oil other than amsoil then i would suggest using 10w-30 if you are where it gets hot. 10w-30 holds up better than 5w-30 in hotter climates. If you use amsoil I would select which ever winter weight you think it necessary for your climate.

I think I have nailed in the best way for me to drive to my new job. If what I think is right then I have increased my mpg by about .6.. I did this by shifting out of OD going up the steep hill to work.
Once I confirm this over a few tanks of gas, when I switch to 0w-30 I can record if there os a measurable difference in mpg.

 

I'll be glad once this is all over.. and then back to finding a reputable shop... although.. after this.. I can take care of everything else. Just wanted to find a good Dyno shop.

 

when you pick the truck up let them know you have 3 or 4 dozen friends capaple of leaving online reviews.

 

Welp, finished the cam gears and FIC injectors tonight. Put a new foam seal on the intercooler and realized how shitty the adhesive is on it. I used The Right Stuff and RTVed it to the intercooler. It started and runs, but now I need to plug in all the injector data and offset to make it right with the 650s..

Also, after installing URD long tubes last weekend I noticed I lost a nut on the passenger side. I replaced it and checked the others and had quite a few loose. Just a reminder to retorque for anyone recently installing them.

 

i found a few of mine loose. side note- check the o2 block plugs. mine almost fell out.

 

For real. I've mentioned the Cult that is TW a few times to him. Regarding the information I've gathered, tips, mods, tunes provided, etc. Was thinking that was part of the reason for him scrambling to fix it.. lol

 

Last night on the way home the car directly behind me got slammed into. I feel bad for the guy but I’m glad it wasn’t me because I would have been pissed

Should I put the video on YouTube? Maybe his insurance will find it.

They’d also see my full throttle videos

 

Do you just randomly record when you drive? I’m just curious

 

Soon I’ll have a 4 dash cam special for all these idiots out here.

 

In fact, after last night I might even put my old front camera in the back. For dual channel just for the back. Make it 5 dash cams.

 

Also here’s my new intake

 

You can start a new reality tv show.....

 

I can see it now...”on this episode of stupid drivers of San Francisco”

Seriously though. I never even considered side cameras until this time I was stopped at a red in gridlocked traffic when this guy to my left just started turning into me to make a right turn. Completely oblivious that I was directly next to him. Neither of my cameras would have caught that.

Stupid. Stupid everywhere.

 

I saw that out here really recently actually. Stupid ass people. The guy tried to throw himself into a lane where there was literally a car next to him. Like not even blindspot, just blatant.

That's why I drive like dick these days. It's not personal, its just defense of myself and my property.

 

That's how I drive too. They say great offence is a great defense so I'm often blatantly aggressive while usually knowing what the other dumbasses on the road are going to do before they do it.

 

I don’t ever get told I’m a dick but people are giving me the finger all the time on the road, so maybe I am.

 

Can’t even do anything about it. People stop so close to you nowadays. Can’t even back up if I wanted to.

 

I just don't look at other drivers because if I did I'm sure I'd be getting the finger and getting shit talked all the time.

I usually know what folks are going to do long before they do it as well. It's the art of drivers premonition. It's a really really good talent to have in today's age of driving considering how many stupid people are out there.
