TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Now I need to make sure mines not missing. I purchased a new housing which has it disassembled now need to make sure that piece is there.

 

Lines all reconnected, struck started, and no leaks! Test drive to the gas station next

 

Got some painting done

 

Rust be banished! Looks good.

 

Idle and acceleration seem really smooth now. Too much traffic out atm to really gun it, but I like it.

 

nice just from swapping the fuel pump? been putting that off big time.

 

hopefully the paint on the headers lasts. used the VHT FLame proof shit. those sucked to clean up and no sure if i took off any of the ceramic coating so we shall see.

 

looking good and great shot of where the motor mounts line up. =)

 

hopefully i got most all the rust so we shall see. might need to go back in and paint more cuz i can kinda see the brown primer. so might need to pick up some more paint

 

Looks good! I also had some rust spots to treat on the crossmembers above the fuel tank. Wasn't terrible, but noticed the other crossmembers not above the tank looked fine

 

I'll have to drive it a few weeks to really see, could just be placebo effect. Only been driving the m3 while this was down so my baseline is off lol. I got the aem 320 or 340 lph greentop pump btw

 

Glad you are rebuilding and not selling

 

shit still might go for sale. just depends. at this point i doubt ill sell it.

also, i need to take a pic of it, but the twin disc clutch i have from URD has hot spots on it only on like half the flywheel/s. i think they was becuase of install error when i put it in. i installed the clutch when i put the current engine in and torqued it while it was hanging from the engine hoist. i dont think i got a good even torque on it. then in 2015 i dropped the trans because i had to fix the crawl box and retorqued everything and think i got it installed correctly. then cuz it did drive better afterwards. I do have a new clutch and heavy flywheel coming.

 

You gotta keep it ! But I get it if you don’t. I have a HD URD clutch I picked up a while back but haven’t put it in yet too

 

but i could buy your built 4.0 do the 5.7
ive been engourged with home stuff but could buy in months ahead!

 

these trucks are great. in the days of dispose easy we all have great rebuildable machines. love seeing the new builds!

 

nice that's what I have to install as well. Just ned to burn the holes and slap that puppy in then drop the tank.

 

A little help here.

Handled. Hope he gets it all sorted out.

 

Been busy lately doing garage upgrades/cleanup & stuff, but the Camaro fan is still on my short list of projects.
