TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I, stupidly, thought everything was painted until I went in for a closer look

 

That's a pretty typical rookie mistake. It has happened to the best of us before. hahaha.

 

all good to know. I will only be deleting the downstream cats to keep it somewhat legal. I have a set of hopefully one-day legal DT shorty headers ill be mating to the stock ones upstream. So just pop the stock o2 sensor into the pipe and good to go? Do I need to run anything on HP tuner at this point or just if I had them deleted up top?

 

ordered. sweet, got my train and a pump.

 

Sounds like they've taken cues from Toyota's 3.0 V6 from back in the day.

 

Or the current gr yaris

 

Gut, don't delete. Don't intentionally make things complicated for yourself down the road bro.

 

It won’t be.

 

what did you do to have no restriction just no cats? I want to have enough "guidance" when I go back to the exhaust shop.

 

The merge point is/was shit sized at about 2.25-2.5". I made it a true 3".. still collecting data on if its better but a true equal length system should do good with a little bit of restriction. As for the video I said I would take of the sound-it sounded so different in the clip I took- I felt it wasn't an accurate representation.

 

Got the ZZP IC pump installed and powered up. The plug fits uncomfortably loose even when pinching the clips narrower before connection. Had to use a ziptie to "squeeze" the clips so it remains secure.

I looked at the swirl tank after. Cant tell if thats a good indicator of more flow volume but the coolant whirlpool didnt look like it was spinning faster.

 

I understand that completely.

Years ago, on a few people's trucks with the URD y-pipe, I influenced them (after having done it myself) to remove the outlet flange which was there to bolt to an OEM or aftermarket catback. That merge had a 3" section that then reduced quickly to what was a 2.5" outlet. Taking that flange off and making it a 3" outlet, changed the tone that it was easily evident something was different to a bystander.

It was also enough to make an improvement, if I remember correctly, on the TRD s/c truck that had it done. Looong time ago on that. Pretty sure a before and after dyno was done. All vague at this point. After that. Many mufflers were added. Lol

 

Good example at 9:30 mark

disappointing about the connector, maybe that's feedback they need to hear.

 

Now that I'm a novice welder I am planning on adding a V-Band to the URD pipe and adjusting my exhaust as you describe.

 

I feel it's deceiving to look at the flow in the reservoir. With two pumps in parallel I have to be flowing around 30% faster than stock, but looking at the whirlpool that's not obvious. Even when I compared it to my friend's which has one stock pump, I was like hmm... it has to be flowing faster but it doesn't really look like it.

This is the page I was looking at, ya. I originally thought I was comparing points 1 and 3, but upon re-reading it, if the head stays the same, then flowrate is approximately doubled - I would assume on these systems that both suction and discharge head remain approximately the same when two pumps are in parallel, so flowrate should be about doubled - although with some additional losses from extra piping and such, probably more like a 80-90% increase.

 

If you do gut, I would try to get a through-pipe installed to avoid unwanted sounds and a hindrance to flow with all the added turbulence in the enlarged vessel.

 

I mean to be fair if they put that engine in the new Bronco I’d probably have one ordered by now
