TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Did a loooong time ago.

 

You have the stroker kit in yours don't you?

 

Correct you are.

 

Eventually a hater's hate finds its way back to hate themselves.

 

Look at the components they use. The tolerances are good, I can tell you that as well.

 

Whoa! Still trying to wrap my head around all the hate.

 

It's rude to call other people strokers.

 

Wow. If by affects you mean eliminate, you are correct.

Then again, you have a way with understatements.

So what you're saying is you gotta get juice for your engine to be swole?

 

Odds are one of us breaks something if we stay on the current trajectory of “more”. What does a better 1GR look like? Sleeved? Stroked? Better rods? What’s possible here? What’s a realistic cost? I’ve never seen a cam option.

 

As per @Torspd with regards to cams...

 

Set a goal, and achieve it. Let budget guide you. Rods, pistons, headgaskets, and head studs, is the "basic build".

 

Cams are an option, but since there are four of them versus the traditional one design it really makes the swap out much more annoying, and expensive as has been mentioned. Which is why it is not a more well known thing. There is power to be had there though. Definitely not as easy as a cam swap on a GM 350 that's for sure.

 

The price alone makes most people balk. However, the owners of Tacomas generally aren't after every ounce of power. Therefore the market is extremely small. The only supplier catering to that is one is out of the UAE. Unless you deal directly with Kelford Cams to have a "custom grind" machined. Which is fairly easy.

 

Why do I feel like 75% of the people who build their 1GRs end up selling their vehicles shortly after being built. Makes me wonder if it’s worth the $$ for the power, then again there isn’t many who have done it.

 

It is an insurance policy. I know a few whom have built theirs, years ago, and still have them. People getting a crap shop to build their, creates a bad word of mouth.

 

1jz swap like driftslayer

 

MOAR POWA!

And another satisfied @Roostfactor customer

 

What size pulley did you go with?

 

You ever get a dyno just on the stroker kit?

 

2.7 at the moment. I have a 2.5 on the bench, but want to check out my afrs and such before I go that far.

Not a fan of the pulleyboys etching on the 2.7, but I'll live with it for now.
