TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I kinda disagree.

 

not into keeping it? if fixed correctly its fixed. i had a good experience on that. just curious.

 

i would love me a 7.0 tacoma

 

I don't blame you.

Mine's a lowly 5.7L LS6

 

Not really. It's honestly too big a vehicle for me. And my plan was to TRD it out then maybe take it to auction. It only has 9950 miles on it.

But I did a nation wide search and the only other 2021 platinum 4x4 tundra on the market has 17k miles and previous damage, listing for $57k. That's $500 more than I paid for mine. So it's completely back to stock minus the damage. And it's getting traded in or sold privately as soon as it's out of the shop. Just not sure for what yet

 

i understand your plan. sounds like a good route.

 

A Blackwing was my next choice actually, but I've always loved the way the Camaro's look and the way their interior is setup, ever since I drove a rental in 2017 I was hooked and always dreamt of having one.

Take those plastic engine covers off so you can see what that engine really looks like bare. Lol.

 

You got me there!

 

Did you tune that thing yet or what?

 

Might try out a 2.7 pulley while I wait to get started on the turbo kit but need to check the snout trim I had done for clearance.

 

I’m working on it.

I’ve only had it two days!





Things are coming though. It’ll get the usual I/H/C and supporting stuff. But I’m going to really spend time on the suspension and brakes.

 

Oh wow. You barely just got it. I had no idea. Congratulations!

Time to tune it.

 

Sold the 3G and used those $’s to buy something fun.

 

That is one of my dream cars!
I was at an autocross event at the Denver airport. Must have been 2004 cause I did a ride along in a first year US Subaru WRX STI, what a blast. I was watching this amazing red Z06 eating up the course when it lost control and went over a curb, ripped off the oil pan and spewed all over.
Also saw a brand new S2000 over driving and slid sideways into a parking sign, nice vertical dent on the door. Rough day.
Then I get in my 1997 Tacoma, and blew out a sparkplug. So I rented a car hauler and used my work van from Ultimate Electronics and towed her the ~60 miles home. Blew another sparkplug driving over a pass to Gunnison. Nursed it down to a NAPA parking lot and somehow got a new plug to grab enough thread to get home. I new less than nothing about working on cars then, not sure how I pulled it off.
Memories...

 

Something for function and something for fun is the only way to go honestly. I always loved those C5's.

You're going to love those 243 heads with the beehive yellow springs. Lol. They are sort of sewing machine like as far as noise is concerned.

Whatever you do, some yella terra roller rockers should be at the top of your list. They shut the noise of the valve springs up real nice.

 

Damn, that's some low miles for that year!

 

C5 and C6 Z06 are the best Corvette's imo.

 

You may like this new yt channel. Same guy from one of those Netflix car trader upper shows. Only has two vids so far but not bad. It's all about Vette's

 

Excellent choice of car, what a cream puff that one is!

 

if you squint....it looks like a mid-90s Ford Probe GT!
