TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

When I say two fan I mean one for my tacoma and one for my 4runner.

 

Ouch. That'd be $1800 down the hole.

Yeah it did wind up being more which is disappointing to say the least, but when it comes to my comfort during the heat, I'll pay whatever it takes to get there, reliably, that goes without saying.

 

100% agree there. Well though tout, summer heat as you pointed out and some reliability I will pay extra to ensure that. Cant wait. I need to pull out my shroud and get a better seal so this works out perfectly.

Since likely will need to drain coolant (I assume) can you do it by just doing the radiator or would we need to do the engine block too? if we don't even better but I recall at least the top hose gets in the way.

 

ah touche.

 

multiple project syndrom. Hey, look another project for me to buy...

 

mind as well make it 3.

 

Im at 6 now. I'm trying to make it one for everyday.

 

Yeah I think the top hose MAY interfere, but you may be able to sneak it out of there. Even then the stock shroud is used so you may be able to get away with just removing the old fan and clutch setup as is.

That being said however, we will have to remove the upper anyway to install the inline temp sensor so I think coolant removal will have to be a must. Just removing the upper hose and letting the coolant drain out will suffice unless you have a machine which sucks it all out. I may end up doing all this at my work on a day off because we have the machine there to suck out all the coolant.

I can't wait either, but I think sealing it all may be redundant considering the amount of air that fan will be moving will be plenty to overcome the inherent air leakage that is present on our trucks.

 

yah it may be but even just tossing some hvac tape around the shroud stopped my truck from almost blowing up so it needs some. (more an issue with the CSF radiator and there so called drop in radiators)

 

You are a mad man. I need to get rid of a few cars but man if they were all project cars that would be the death of me. We just got an electric car and im holding out on visually modding it. not much to do power wise. insane how fast these things are.

 

Just add more batteries duh.

 

haha a bit hard to do on this one but 0-60 in 4.2 is already insanely fast especially compared to driving my truck.

 

Drop in. Lol.

 

Anyone interested in a FJ CSF radiator so I can just get the efan and not have to worry about swapping the radiator and getting all new shrouds. The additional airflow will help me more when going slow than the extra capacity of the radiator. And when I need a new radiator I can now just get the one for the Tacoma. Since I bought the FJ one almost 3 years and it is still in the box.

 

Just wait. I plan on getting more. Trying to get on Jay lenos level but w/jdm cars and diesel trucks.

 

Tell me about it.

 

I always say: when given the choice between two mods, just buy both since you're going to anyway.

 

I got used to 2.9 0-60 so it ruined me for everything else

 

Its like ur in debt w/da mafia but instead of guys w/bats when payday comes around its a check engine light or shiny parts that are added to cart.

 

Well my plan was a lsd and a belt driven intake manifold by December. Guess we'll see.
