TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Wow many crank pulleys to offer...any of those will fit to increase boost?

 

I’ve never seen them advertised. I was picking up a custom three link kit for the rear and I asked him if there was anything else I should know about....ended up with engine/trans mounts and front long travel kit. He also has these cool rack saver bushings for the steering rack. If anyone is interested you can pm him here @dirt designs

Getting a lot closer to the finish line here. JD fab lower control arm sub frame mounts, dirt designs long travel, king CO’s bypasses and bumps, JD fab 934 inner cv’s and 300m axles. Should end up being bumped and strapped at 15”

 

Just got one

Interesting

 

Eye candy.

 

I second the eye candy quote. This is a thing of beauty.

 

13 psi the other morning.

 

Hell yeah that's a steal compared to the dealer. I ordered a couple kits too.

 

Wholly/holy race truck!

 

Isn’t that a +4.5” kit with 10” shocks?

 

Also, any of you California or smog tested folks interested in a stock air box before I just throw mine away? Tired of staring at it in the garage

 

3.5” with 8” shocks

 

Any of the boosted guys in the Santa Monica/Dockweiler area.. we're out here for the weekend for the annual minitruck meet.. but blew a coolant hose the night before leaving so brought the Taco out instead. The taco is definitely loving this cooler weather vs the Az heat..

 

I think that @DocME and @snowsk8air2 are prepping for King of the Hammers.

 

I had a 1989 red cab 4x4 for a while. I bought it not running for $500. Put a cylinder head on it and drove the piss out of it for a few years. Then sold it for $3k. I wish I had kept it but I needed the cash at the time for some home improvement shit I was doing.

 

Gotcha. Was curious as to why the low travel numbers with those spindles. But that’s about the max you can get with a 3.5” and 8” shocks.

Love to get out there some time. Maybe next year if my new job will allow a few days off

 

So would I! At least to spectate.

 

Haha damn, 15” is pretty much the maximum that the advanced kits see on a 3.5” while retaining 4 wheel drive. Plus, that’s just where I’m limiting it right now. UCAs isn’t just touching the inner fender, it’s laid out against it. Once the inner fenders are deleted, I can stroke up another 3/8” on the shocks before bottoming out. Axles are fully freed up at full droop right now, limited by shock length. I think that should put me around 15-5/8” on a 3.5” kit with 4 wheel drive if I get to that point. I think the maximum cycle numbers would approach 16” if someone was super motivated. Any more travel would have to come from a 10” shock and new mounts. I think for now I’m good with this path. Plus I’m crazy limited on what I can do in the rear with out mounting shocks in the cab, so it might be futile trying to eek out more out of the front.

 

Yeah 15” out front with what you’re doing in the back will be perfect. I’m squeezing right at 15” out of mine and it’s limited by the horizontal uniball at the uca, so you should be able to get a smidge more with the vertical uniball. That stated, 15” up front and 16” out back for you will be amazing after getting the shocks dialed in.
