TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Superb!

 

Anyone have a spare 1GR-FE fuel rail that I can borrow for a while? I need to measure some things.

 

Tank can actually make things slower if compressor is small, since it has to build up pressure, best thing would be to add a second compressor or put a valve so you can use single compressor directly for some tasks or after tank is low. Or put in smaller tank maybe...

I looked into a tank and decided for my non air locker use I didn’t need it.

 

Yeah, I have one. Do you just want some measurements, or do you need the rail?

 

I just ordered one off of Ebay. I just need to use it for mockup/measurement. I'm going to try building some bigger fuel rails.

 

Sorry I missed you. Just packed it away along with a set of TRD injectors and factory stock injectors. Fuel rail should be pretty easy to turn out I would think. The hardest parts will be adapting to the return line.

 

Thanks, no biggie! The plan is to run -8an from the pumps to the rails. A -6an from the rails to an Aeromotive FPR. Then -6an line from the FPR back to the tank.

 

Sooo, why do you need larger fuel rails unless you intend to move more air? Things are working now. Just curious if there is going to be an engine rebuild soon to accommodate more burnable mixture.

 

Any chance you could provide some dimensions? I looking into alternate locations as well, my first route is looking less like an option. Also, from the product description, the bungs are 1/2"npt. Are you just adapting the 3/4" lines to the 1/2" bungs? Any concerns with the reduced diameter? I would think the pressure side would be fine, but the pump inlet side could be restricted? The pump flow is minimal, but I always worry about cavitation.

 

Figgs. Done.

 

Haha, I know you're all about that Figgs. I just can't bring myself to it. Plus I'm seeking a new location after installation of a Bussman RTMR that bumped the factory location in front of the master cylinder. Now I've got the displaced 120V inverter competing for space in the back driver's side corner. My first option, a $15 aluminum tank just doesn't offer the clearance I was looking for. Now willing to look at the passenger side where I was holding out for a dual battery.....Who knows, maybe I'll join you in the ridicule over another piece of engine bling.

 

Oh, you be you. I'm just hanging out here steeling other people's ideas.

 

......I dig da figgs.

 

Infrastructure. And yes, there might be eventually.

 

Uh huh. Might be... I’m thinking there is planning occurring.

 

I'll check shortly. It is the same size or larger than the stock resivoir. 3/4" hose fits correctly. 4 5/8"x4 5/8"x 5 1/4" tank size. 7" tall with lid.

 

I'm going passenger side with mine.

 

For all of you out there that have installed a fleetrunner green belt and had to trim it down to size, please make sure when you do so you have the size edge of the belt flat and no lip on it.. I didn't cut mine perfect, and the belt ran off, rubbed through the thermostat housing, and it started spewing coolant everywhere. The belt then proceeded to wrap itself around the crank pulley and snap, wrapping a bunch of the belt around it (all of this happened in less than a half mile of me driving after the belt came off). Could've been much worse, but I am very fortunate all it needed was a new thermostat housing and a belt.

 

Oh no good man. How imperfect was your cut??

 

Agreed, but she's up and running again now, so all is well!
