TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Make sure you get the one for the supercharger. It is different than the one that originally came on the truck. There was someone in here that posted a part number for that a few pages back..

 

PTR29-35061 should be what you need (Toyota), or you can call magnuson and buy one from them. They both cost a pretty penny

 

@12TRDTacoma Could you please add the part number for the lower rad hose to the OP? I searched for it but couldn't find it. I think this could be a great thing to have for future reference for everyone

 

@BassAckwards Oh man, thanks for letting me know that and providing the part number. I figured it was just the OEM hose.

 

Want to share this with you guys! I admit. Due to @BassAckwards pull. Ugh. Now I need to make a video.

 

Film crew was getting torque lash. Lol.

 

has anyone dyno'd and compared TRD vs Magnuson?

 

Same thing, just badging

 

got it... thanks!

 

Was reading through the Magnuson install manual, and noticed that cooler spark plugs are supposed to be installed, and the old ones returned to the customer. I got a box of parts but no plugs.
I want to pull one and check to see if the installer installed the correct ones. Once I remove one, how can I tell if they are the correct plugs?

 

There's al

That's what I was going to say. Special hose for the lower.

 

Part # should be on the plug. I believe it should be iridium plugs that came with blower kit.

 

My magnuson came with

$9 Denso IKH22 Iridium Power Spark Plug, (Pack of 1)

Denso IKH22 plugs, the ones on the passenger side should be easier to get to

 

Thanks guys, I'll be checking that out soon.
Update:
Yep they are correct, at least the rear passenger one is.
Looks a little too white, possibly running lean?
Did get my ECU reflashed to TRD spec by @JustDSM so I think that is highly unlikely given all the recs for his work.
Have a Speedhut AFR all in one on the way so I'll know when it gets here, 6+ weeks!

 

currently im working in a senators house. very different money in that world.

 

What's the problem? The plugs look great.

 

I thought they were supposed to have a little color to them, I'm just paranoid. Thanks for the reply.

 

same here.

 

She’s done waiting for a tune. She runs and idles ok for no tune tho lol. Just drove it around the parking lot. Some different going to urd stage 3 clutch with aluminum flywheel. And clutch. Masters hydro bearing.

 

@nudavinci64 Your mpg issue sounds exactly like what I went through for years. Running rich and blowing through fuel. I replaced about everything. All A/F, O2, MAF sensors. Installed the Ucon and still rich. Finally found the problem and my truck has been a different truck since then. Bad Bypass Valve on the super charger. I still have it in the garage. Old one I can close and hold my finger on the port and it will slowly creep back to open. New one, I close and put my finger on the port and it stays closed for as long as I hold the finger. When I did the blip test it looked pretty fast, but it was the extended holds and getting it to go to boost. Before I had a huge gap between vacuum and boost. As in it ran no vacuum and 0 boost for a long time. I could hear the charger whining and still no boost. Now if it isn't in vacuum, it is in boost or much sooner anyway. Also think I may have had a slight leak on the lid of the supercharger. All I know for sure is that the old bypass wouldn't stay closed and now it does and my AFR numbers have completely changed and my mileage is up from 7 and 8 to 12 and 13 around town. I was 8 on the highway at 70 before or 5 towing my camper at 65 and now I am 14 on the highway at 70 and 9-11 towing my camper at 65 depending on wind. And my camper is 7000-7500 lbs.
