TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Wow...I’m impressed actually

 

In my humble opinion, reducing intake restrictions would also make significant gains to the high - end, especially if you have a tiny pulley. You’re right that there would be less parasitic drag, and that should be noticeable, but the biggest gains I would bet are seen in high-end horsepower where the airflow is highest.

 

I agree. With as much meth as you're pumping in it might combat the temps

 

Agreed and most likely twofold. One from less parasitic drag on the sc and two from less restricted inlet flow.

 

Yes... that and the -20C temps that are on the horizon up here...

 

And I just love it! Today was the last hot day of the summer, now it’s boost time!

 

V-Bands FTW

 

Looks great! How are you/they attaching the transmission-to-header supports???

 

I deleted mine, a while ago... it must be going on 5 years now......

 

As did I. Lost in the pile of important mods that overtook their annoyance.

 

I'm keeping mine on. I need the extra support if ya know what I mean.

 

Trying to keep em’ from sagging so much?

 

Plus, I have a T56 bell housing. An original. Doesn't even have holes for the supports.

 

You got it. With age Everything sags!

 

Prevents fatigue. If you can't go up a flight of stairs without breathing heavily, you probably need manifold stays.

 

Damn! All this time I thought it was stress.....cracks.

 

Anyone needing a replacement restrictor orifice, here’s the part number.

 

So, what’s your opinion on this? Should the orifice be left in or removed?

 

Seems like no benifit to removing. It's there for a reason.

 

I think that any gain from removing is probably confirmation bias/butt dyno and that it just makes it harder to tune for a daily driver.

Also like @Roostfactor has been saying, the restrictor slows the movement of the bypass valve which likely makes the valve last longer since it’s not slamming open and closed all the time.

I’m workjng on my radio install today, but if I get done before dinner I’m going to put the orifice back in.
