TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Any of you guys have the RIPP coil packs? I’m about to pick some up for Black Friday.....

 

Bought them....got them....waiting to install them. @nudavinci64 did you install yours yet?

 

Whatcha waiting on?........I say this with a bunch of uninstalled shit in my garage too. Lol

 

Haven’t installed yet. @alvinfromhawaii also picked some up for his boosted taco. I just need to find some time to magyver them in. Are we able to install the coil packs easy? If so I’ll give it a go tomorrow. Just didn’t have time to start pulling stuff

 

Should be plug and play. The couple on the drivers side may be hard. However, if guys are taking them off and using nineteen swivels to take those plugs out, I’m sure the coils are a breeze.

 

My RIPP stuff and Ruthinum plugs are sitting next to my @mightytacoman cam gears and NST blower pulley. I hope Santa gifts me some free time for Xmas....

 

I got plugs, cam gears, URD long tubes/sims, ECGS 4.10 gears, archive garage hammer hangers, just got in my Rays duralugs, and waiting on my Hurst core shifter to swap out of my TRD short shifter. Need to buy my hptuner and credits. I’m about to pull the trigger on these coil packs and Corbeau seats.

 

Just received my SCer back, Covid wave came through the machine shop i use.

 

Nice yah I have a few things pending. Waiting on Efan, thermostat, coil packs, hammer hangers a few others things. Have a wedge setup on order so Holding off on a few things gs until I get it. If I don’t need 12 extensions I’ll give that coil packs a go tomorrow

 

So for the folks that have done the plug change with the supercharger on how much of the crap do you need to move or remove? Most of the lines are vacuum? First time giving it a go. Did you remove the 6th coil pack easy or needed to have a have a bunch of extensions?

just seems like there is a ton of stuff in the way see whats the best way to tackle this. Only swapping coil packs today. Any tricks or what fir sure needs to be moved?

 

I took out both those brackets (Everything). But i have Popeye forearms. Longsleeves didnt even protect my skin.

 

There is a pic of all the wobble ext i used somewhere in this thread.

 

You guys make feel normal lol, I have the HH/shackles, ride rite air bags/compressor, and a bunch of other lectrial projects sitting on my bench too

 

So i got my belt driven intake manifold and I dont need tjis and I dont know the new value but I'll offer this to peps that need one to get by for $50.00. Its brand new so it should last a bit till you get an aluminum one.

 

yah was curious if that was only for the plugs or both. Fun I hated bolting down those brackets the mist out of that entire install. so removing brackets ok to unhook any hoses? Is assumed they are all vacuum but want 100% sure

 

Just for the plugs, I removed everything that was attached to valve cover. Let me go outside and take a pic.

 

Dont know how clear you can see everything i removed.

 

Good news for y'all. I should be able to start making resi coolant tanks starting in about 3 weeks. I'm gonna wait till Wednesday to let people jump on the list then it'll be closed again as I'm buying material enough for the list + 1-2

 

@nudavinci64 all you have to do is remove the vacuum lines, move them out of the way, remove the upper fuel line from it's pressure retainer, and then remove the main bracket then you literally have everything out of the way to work with a pretty good amount of space. I would also remove the side evap purge solenoid hose so you have more space to get to the cylinder 2 coil plug.

 

Sounds good seems as long as I remove the 2 main brackets and any line it would be clutch. I hate those brackets ha none of those lines have any fluid in them? Thanks @BenMara and @12TRDTacoma
