TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

@TodayWasTHeDaY this can definitely happen. Some sensors need a ground, and they get it through contact with the engine where they screw in.

 

So, does anyone in here want to get some fuel rails? Another group buy is set for March 1 and we need two more people to get into the lower cost zone.

wierd, I didn't get any notification of this tag. Yes, I can dig stuff out of my box if you fellas still need it?

 

lexus puts electric fans on at the factory. with a good set up reliability shouldnt be an issue.

 

Yes you are right, but it comes at a cost. Maybe one day

 

Look up what @Roostfactor did for an electric fan setup, modded into his OEM shroud. It should be in the CSF Radiator thread.

 

Can they be bought with the intentions of using the TRD 455’s?

 

What are all the hoses that they would produce for us.....I’ve only skimmed over some of this hose talk that’s been had

 

To summarize...and correct me if I'm wrong...

I think HPS already makes the upper radiator hose for us since the NA and blower is the same.

But we are inquiring whether HPS can make a lower radiator hose for the trd blower guys/gals as another option versus the ($130) one that comes with the kit. (HPS already has the lower hose for NA)

The lower hose that comes with the blower kit still needs to be trimmed. Therefore the advantage of a HPS version would be that its silicon, hopefully cheaper, doesn't need to be trimmed.......and pretty colors.

Peeps found an existing hose (Ford Mustang) that would possibly work as the lower radiator hose that we need and have passed that info to HPS.

 

Also looking for a cheaper aftermarket replacement less than $130 in any case the lower hose takes a crap.

 

On another note, superchargersonline called me back and said the lower hose is backordered from Magnuson, with no eta. So I'm SOL.

 

Makes sense. I had the red ones but didn’t install them because I ended up finding out the lower one wouldn’t work.

 

Maybe see if a local parts store stocks that mustang hose and just see if it works? That would confirm it for us, and you wouldn’t have to wait for magnuson.

 

Bling Bling!!

 

Sucks. I called RLHudson earlier and waited online for "Tucker". It went to a voicemail and I left a message, but no call back just yet. I told them that I found a part that seemed to be retrofitted and had their part number on it, but trying to get more info on its original design and fit.

Will follow up as I hear anything.

 

What's the benefit of running these fuel rails over stock?

 

Bling factor. Can fit FIC custom injectors. Again more bling. Custom color also.

 

I understand one would need to use a simple washer-like spacer about the size of a nickel for each injector in order to use them with the orange TRD injectors, which is what I'll be doing.

Benefits of performance rails are, as I reason of it:
1. Adequate delivery of fuel to your injectors resulting in less localized pressure drop. Localized flow problems or flow problems at one or more of the injectors could lead to an unsafe condition in the associated cylinder (lean fuel mixture or incorrect atomization of fuel) at high load. These problems may not be picked up by other sensors installed, such as the knock sensor or a fuel pressure sensor.
2. Higher headroom at high load conditions for fuel flow (they won't be the bottleneck for fuel delivery).
3. They is blingy.

Note, on the 3.0L engine on my car, upgraded fuel rails were required at the 400ftlb mark. Quite different from our trucks though, I realize, since they are side feed injectors, not top feed like ours. The injectors I have there are capable of flowing at 740cc/min, which is probably good for 700ftlbs on that car.

The benefits of upgraded fuel rails will for the most part be unseen. It's not like suddenly your engine will run more smoothly, or have more power, definitely not at the power and torque that TRD supercharged people see - 300-400ftlbs. But they are good for engine longevity and safety.

 

The part number I listed, PTR29-35061, is the TRD part number for that part kit. I called Toyota Tech Line and got a replacement part number for that exact hose from Toyota. But yes, it will need to be trimmed still. I believe. I will have the factory TRD part here by Friday. So we can see markings and take measurements.

 

Then I stand corrected. @Murphinator this still baffles me. I don’t get it, but then again, this ain’t the first time.
