TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Couldn't wait for another expansion tank buy so decided to ebay it. Going to weld bottom port and drill the side for another hose port. no leaks

 

in all honesty bro. I need me this supercharger. FORREAL. With an exhaust.

 

Skip the exhaust. They all sound bad the whine on the over hand is addicting

 

i beg to differ. jfr y-pipe is a game changer.

 

Agreed. I feel like if you stay with stock exhaust you are neutering your performance. Open that bad boy up, everyone in here has made it easy to choose what’s right for you whether you want quiet, loud, or middle of the road.

 

Its exactly what I did.

Same tank even.

 

I’m testing equal length on my f80 and if it really is a game changer than I’ll probably get an equal length y pipe on this too. Does it take away the buzzing bee noise?

 

Dang, Magnuson is using the same TVS1900 that is on the 5.7L Tundra. That blower should have a pretty easy life on a small Tacoma engine. https://www.magnusonsuperchargers.com/product-p/01-19-35-005-bl.htm

Looks like a nice kit.

 

I see so many people in the 3rd hen forum saying its a disappointment.. lmfao I really cannot with them. I wonder how hard if at all possible to mate that blower to our trucks. I think we could make some serious power with ease.

 

375HP is a disappointment? Let them pound sand.

Looks like they have a different lower intake manifold included with the kit. If they're willing to do that, might not be a big stretch to do ours.

Seriously, 305HP CARB legal HP is the REAL disappointment for us.

 

See I would argue the hp is irrelevant in terms of what is supplied. It’s really the foundation. That blower is much larger with newer technology and a way better intercooler to keep things cool. I think if someone slapped that on their truck with a smaller pulley and all the fueling upgrades they could get 400 hp.

 

You mean 305 BASE horsepower CARB legal. After doing an asston of mods you'd be lucky if you hit 305 actual horsepower.

Just remember, horsepower isn't everything in the end though. If you're fast enough to beat V8 6.4L Chargers and Challengers then you should be VERY happy.

 

Enough is never enough

 

You gotta know your limitations.

Unless you go 4.5L. Then all bets are off.

 

Manifold looks familiar

 

If I go 4.5L I am going custom turbo. Too rich for my blood currently, but I can continue dreaming. It’s hard to want to drop all that $$ when someone buys a 5.0 mustang and makes double the power and they don’t even put a proper fuel pump in the damn car.

 

Wasn’t aimed at you lol, I see too many youtubers going crazy boost on their 5.0s and they are like ok so Imma install this boostapump...

 

got a link???
