TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Wow!! That intake manifold and intercooler are some custom aluminum top notch welding!!

 

I can’t agree with this chart. There are quite a few xrunners running a rotrex on the smallest pulley with long tubes, 2.5 ypipe, merging to 3 inch getting well over 400rwhp. No cats all open exhaust of course.

If you tune specifically for water meth injection and have faith in all the components to work properly I think over 400rwhp is possible with a TRD setup especially if you up that redline

There was one xrunner with a TRD setup that used nitrous and got well over 400 rwhp. He only had a 2.7 pulley at 6200 redline

 

I didn't agree with the numbers either but the numbers don't change much when looking at various sources. Maybe it only applies to na systems ?

 

Yes that’s what I was thinking too N/A.

Those death shadow 40-90 and 60-100 pulls he had with nitrous on the TRD setup were stupid fast. @Torspd might know where they are

 

When you built motor guys max out the TRD/maggy blower, who's going to be the first to cut off the intake arm and open it up with more flow to the inlet at the rear? Eliminate those narrow bends.

 

Hell, just mount a 76mm throttle body at the back side. lol!

 

The starter doesn't look fun lol

 

anyone have experience with these?

Can coil packs alone really increase mpg and 10-15 hp?

 

Over blackfriday of this past year, they had a sale. I along with a few others made the purchase. The mold was wrong making the direct fitment wrong. Someone here did make it work. They haulted production and went back to r&d. Supposedly they should be ready soon .

 

Nope

 

I know it is a few days late, but glad to see you are okay. Hope your feeling better and not worse now. Loosing a truck sucks, but things could have been much worse. Glad to see you got the chance to thump him a little. Good luck with everything as the slate turns to dealing with insurance and whatnot.

 

were those what you all were referring too when I saw RIP (or RIPP) stuff???

If so, I was not aware that was them.

 

Yup

 

Yes. Some dudes got the Fj/t4r (?) ones to fit. Then RIPP released the 1grfe Taco specific ones that didnt fit well.

But yes....RIP probably = RIPP because luckily, no one mentioned crossing the rainbow bridge.

 

I don't see the problem guys. The FJ/ T4R ones will fit with a little modification. I've been running mine for over 20-25K with no issues. Whether or not they gave me a power bump is anyone's guess though. The idle did get smoother even after putting in Rutheniums, I know that for sure.

 

I’d rather have mine fit correctly being that I’m spending good dough....

 

Roost wanted to....

 

Wanted to run some ideas by you guys as I'm up in the air regarding what to do.

The urd spec u exhaust has a nice merge collector with no restrictions (other than 2.25"x2 =7.1 sa and a single 3" is 6.5" sa)



Roost is a fan of the merge collector going from 2.25" into a 2.5" then coning to 3" to speed up velocity- theoretically increasing scavenging. 2.5" being 4.43" sa

Now that numbers and visuals are out the way.
Which do you think would better suit? I'm leaning towards the less restrictive urd version.
I'll be building my own merge either way. Just seems to me like going from 7.1"sa down to 4.43"sa is fairly extreme.

 

The legs are 2.25", yes?

After burner style. 2.5" - 3"

 

Legs are 2.25" on both. After the merge they are both 3"
