TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

It self destructed at light load on freeway cruise. The supercharger is going back in and I will be selling/trading the truck. Go fast will now be designated to a Tesla Model 3 Performance, and 4x4/truck duty in my 1st Gen Tacoma.

Yep.

 

Awesome thanks for the input

 

mine are done as mentioned and they hold up well.

 

@jamesepoop if you want to go the above route, hit me up. I have one of these TRUST (Greddy) oil plates.

 

You might be able to have it welded for cheaper than that. I threw a rock up into mine, had the same size hole. Got it welded shut. Been working ever since.

 

Thanks dudes. Exactly what I was looking for. I'll settle for a 2nd heat exchanger for the oil that should take less space and absorb a few degrees. Mainly just dragging my feet on installing lol

Doh. I was looking for those. Ended up chancing it with an online vendor <vet owned business) and the thermo plate and box look legit.

 

Nice! I have the stock trans cooler but installing a single setup to replace the OEM trans cooler. Just mocked up for now.

 

Looks good. I was going to try a similar set up with a setrab cooler but couldn't get it to sit as close as I wanted but I see your going to use it as a pusher fan? Are you going to use a thermoswitch or manual button for operation?

 

same here, I had Doug thorley long tubes and only used oem gaskets and no sealant. No leaks in 10 years when I had the truck.

 

Ditto

 

here we go. i hope these cams go in without calamity. wish me luck.

 

You can use it as a pusher or puller fan but yes I’ll have it setup as a pusher setup. I have a Thermo in the top I let in the pic. But will also wire it up with a switch. Will kick on at 180 and turn off at 165. For now I’ll run inline with rad but may swap to direct later. once I get the main e fan setup.

 

Nice! I have some DT shorties and was wondering what to use. I’ll plan to order some OEM.

 

Good progress so far. Get it Jesse!

 

for those that installed hps heater hoses. did you drain collant? or just make a mess and add? curious if that section drains well, if at all. thanks!

 

its another local member that it familiar with street bike internals holding the reins. hope and see.

 

Made some good progress today. Both head bolted on and torqued to spec. Got all the wires & hoses behind the heads buttoned up. Finished with the passenger side header before I had to break off for the sisters birthday

 

for me mine was empty since i was replacing the engine :lol:

 

For the folks that relocated the horns anu good spots? also assume you cut the wires and extended them?

 

I should point out, I am going to an external cooler. The integrated cooler is seeping at the fitting connection unfortunately. While my Champion is a good fit and radiator cools like a champ (no pun intended), the fabrication ain't great. Had to fix one of the welds too, it seeped coolant slowly.
