TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I was gonna say jeep, Hyundai, or GM. Lol

 

Hey now, we all need time away from out tacos. I do, in my EVO x...

 

Nissan is junk. Equally saying that though sometimes they are the biggest cashcows here at my work because they are built so garbo. Like the one I worked on today.


I still wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole. And if I do, I'll have one of you guys holding the 10 foot pole while I touch it and you guys better not let go of that pole either.


Hey what's wrong with Mitsusushi? I used to own two of them, I put them through the ringer and outside of the normal stuff (battery, clutch, and tune up items after 100K) they were awesome cars to drive. Granted they were 90's gems. Eclipse and the 3000GT.

Heck yeah man. I agree with you 1000%

 

Just ordered 2 kits

Muhaha... lets see if he calls me..

 

School me on this.........is this for when I take off the intake manifold off to change the plugs. To then reinstall and seal up the intake?

 

It's the gasket for the main lid.

I'm pretty sure that's the one everyone is making fuss about.

 

Negative Negative. Orange thick seal for the the IC to manifold, Long string oring is for the IC lid to manifold, and the 2 orings you shouldnt have to use....

Someone please comment if im wrong

 

Oh okay yeah, it is the main strip which everyone's truck seems to swallow at some point.

I do have to say that I didn't look prior to commenting so that's my bad. Lol.

 

Although the SCO package seems like a better deal with more essentials, it seems that URD also sells the foam seal for a non-outrageous price. Another source/outlet.

Does cleaning the Mafs have the possibility of messing them up?

 

if you touch the wire or use the wrong cleaner there is a strong possibility that it will get messed up.

 

Ah crap. I touched the wire with toilet paper but i only used the MAF cleaner. I cleaned it because it was super dirty and now it’s leaning out in the higher rpms. I don’t know if they have to relearn or if i messed it up

 

Just replace the thing. They are cheap enough as it is and eventually they lose calibration anyways due to so many cycles.

Most of the time if it comes down to the point where the MAF is reporting incorrectly and it's mildly dirty it's not even worth it to try and clean it because it does nothing for it and it throws your diagnostic process through a loop because it makes you think that it is not the cause of your lean condition.

If it is prematurely dirty due to running an oiled air filter like K&N and the drop in panel replacement style ones then yeah, it's worth attempting to clean.

 

@Norton just ordered the ngk 2309’s

 

Okay... so I'll be honest.. I don't have the time to read the 1621 pages. I would love to, really... but my wife would kill me. I've already spent 1.5hrs searching for the part numbers and still have to move a literal ton of hay... i need help finding the idler pullies right under the snout. Ive found the bearings... but being in the midwest... the pullies are nasty as well. Just bought the truck, and unfortunately the lack of maintenance is starting to show. I must fix lol.

 

I’d clean them up and paint them if it were mine. Then just slip in new bearings. I think those grooved pulleys are pretty spendy, like $100 or so. I’d contact superchargers online or Jon Bond superchargers to find the pulleys if you must have new.

 

Thanks Doc!

 

Son of a Biscuit. Magnetic socket wont fit over the Ruthenium insulator. Oh well got some headway done.

 

I see what you did there now....
