TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Long side goes to this guy that’s mounted below the SC, near the oil filler tube. Curved side goes to the expose nipple that is in your pic

 

Hmm didn’t think much about water but makes sense..

the threads I sent noted being able to turn off the fans in winter so your compressor does not ice up. I’m it in snow a ton but seems like a good thing to wire in.

 

Speaking of water crossings again... We went back out to the same spot we scouted Wednesday to camp this weekend, where I attempted the crossing and boogered my URD Sims. Well.. we checked it out again and long story short.. idk if the water did it.. or it just finally fully dried out with the heat and wheeling all day.. but it fixed itself.. no more codes.. lol

and we definitely werent able to cross again.. still too much water. We will be going back in a month or 2 when its lower. Our buddy we were with in his 3rd gen 4Runner attempted it first this time as well and the front end started to float not even halfway across and got water in the cab.. so we bailed until next time. I need to get those Sims up into the cab and make sure other stuff is sealed properly for sure.

 

I like what you've come up with.

 

Are you running covers on your coilovers?

 

Yes. Neoprene with some elastic and Velcro. Before that I had eibach ones, more like polyester. I'm running without them now because the coilovers are old and leaking something nice.

 

2.3L Mustang Ecoboost with a lot of highend aftermarket and tune... this one my partner did.

"Customer states when driving on freeway, something on the roadway hit underneath and then engine noise and engine light came on".

This one ended up as CP (customer pay).

 

These crackle tunes are getting out of hand.

 

My taco has a little bit of a burgle on decel since putting on the long tubes.

 

Funny because it's obvious the customer was at a sideshow based on the amount of tire debris inside the rear fenders

 

its an inherrent quality. it will grow on you.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's bad or sounds bad. It was a new sound. Lol!

 

Uh oh. We got another member with a snapped lower pulley retention stud on the timing cover. For sake of anonymity, I'm going to keep their name concealed unless they chime in openly about it, but here are the pictures of their damage.





Currently unknown what sort of tensioner was being used.

 

Pictures aren’t loading, did it snap in the same spot that yours did?

 

Yes it did, in the exact same fashion. OE TENSIONER.

 

Here are my direct uploads of the photos:

 

oh no.

What pulley size are they using on the supercharger, and are they using any of the nst pulleys? If not oe 3.0 pulley what belt were they running?

Just trying to cut out as many variables as we can, that way we can get an idea on what particular parts may be conflicting or if it’s just a bad batch of studs?

 

Indeed. We might have an issue going on here boys. That stud may need to become a regular maintenance item.
