TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Nice job on the design there Magnuson.

 

You know Jesse, that could be your vacuum leak... Or your generally "ehh" running issue.

 

im starting to believe that too.

 

I want to do a smoke test to rule out an actual leak.. or another test you guys recommend?

 

Smoke test is the way to go

 

would this work?

 

100% thought the same thing.. could a Dab test work...

 

You guys would need some serious smoke and pressure power to make it work my rastafarian bruddahs. 3 psi actually. Lol.

As for me, I just checked the back of my blower. Lightly scratching the manifold, but still rubbing lightly nonetheless. I just moved the clamp about 35-45* to the right, washed my hands and called it good to go.

 

you underestimate my stonerness...

 

Feel free to pass it along.

 

gasket question- for those with throttle bodys larger than stock do you use paper gaskets or rtv? ive always used paper and just replaced mine. considering all options for my current afr weirdness.

savage this is on the driver side? I’ll have to check when I get my truck back.

 

@garciav

This is pressing out the bearing. For install I'll use the old bearing and a socket that fits the outer edge of the bearing and press it in. Now I know the S/C pulleys are more flush on the ends I haven't gotten to those yet I'm replacing bearings on main belt idlers first.

 

Rotated the clamp that was causing the gouging so that the prong isn't eating the blower anymore. The clamp itself still makes contact, but at least there's no hard edge anymore. I'm going to wrap it in electrical tape to help soften it.

 

Good call I was thinking the same thing with some electrical. makes me want to check it right now but can’t.

 

i feel pretty dumb i didnt catch the pinch clamp scratch before now. just hoped i could save some of y'all a big problem.

 

Shit... I would have never checked it if it wasn't for you guys. So thanks. Again... This community is awesome.

 

For you manual guys out there, i rotated the constant tension clamp, and then zip tied around the heater core hose to the hard part of the line for the clutch to keep it from rubbing on the blower

 

Scratch the electrical tape... PITA to wrap it in there. Found this piece of random loom in the garage.. should work perfect. Couple zipties and done.

 

Yup. Right on the back side of where I'm pointing:




Also, I need @JuanitoBunito to come deep clean my engine bay after going to Canyonlands last week and collecting all this dirt so I can pull it off and do some maintenance.
