TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Do the Y from the end of the secondary cats on rearward, you'll be incredibly pleased and it'll hold you over until and if you are ready to do headers.

Also, I don't know how I feel about the Fumoto valve, which is why I haven't done it.

 

I have been using it for over a decade on a couple of different cars, lowered Audi and recently the Taco. Had it on my truck since 2015 give or take. It sits perfectly above the hole in the BAMF skid and you can toss a tube there drain then close and your good to go. Lots of hesitation from folks but I'm a happy customer and will continue to use them. If you do get the one with the nipple. Folks cut it off for get the one without but if you have a skid there is no issues and you can hook a tube to drain super easy.

I like these better

 

those look solid too. Have not seen those before.

 

Does any have a couple of more pictures of the minor, yet critical mod of the roush tension/double bearing modification? Please and thank you. I was gonna put a sharpie to it on all the surfaces that need to be modified.

 

Doesn't seem to need too much work done on it.

 

Page 1. Snap ring side needs to be facing outward.

 

I can’t remember if you were on vacation when it happened but HPS is now making lower radiator hoses for us. When you get a chance you may want to update the OP.

I have a Fumoto on one Tacoma and a Valvomax on the other. Never an issue including never having had a leak or been worried about clearance and easy to do an oil change.

Sold out. Of course.

 

Oh that's right. I thought I added that.

I picked up literally the last set when I was doing my eFan project. Lol.

 

Okay! So only what is shown on Pg. 1

 

Take more pics post trimming

 

Do you need the male and the female connections?

 

I purchased so long ago, i don't recall. Remember i had everything to drain oil.
I now its $$

 

Got a picture of your setup? If it is quality, it is worth the money.

 

At work we used similar ones and yea both was needed. Male side on pan has spring loaded valve. Take cap off wont drain till you connect female side which opens the valve .
Female side was chained to bottom of engine . Came like that new .Not sure if my company spec or manufacturers.

 

Alright boys.. Who here as solid motor mounts? I remember a few of you have em..

Been trying to fix a what I thought was a leaking lower oil pan. I tried twice with no luck.. then just recently took it to a shop and had them do it. The next day it was still leaking so I took it back thinking it just needed a new pan or hardware. Well.. apparently the upper pan is cracked from making contact with the front diff due to blown out motor mounts. While they are in there doing to work, I figured this is the perfect time to upgrade to solid mounts. Whats the rule here again? If the motor is solid, the trans needs to be solid, or opposite? I am running an IPT valve body as well, so I'm curious how it will react with a solid trans or even just solid motor mounts. any experience?

 

Just get the motor mounts.

 

The rule you're thinking of, @XPOTRPR is when someone was mentioning doing solid trans mounts with the stock rubber motor mounts. That would cause issues.
