TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

German torque spec.: Guttentite

 

I picked up an in/lbs torque wrench off Amazon for the small stuff. Had to re-tap a hole while doing my timing belt and that was enough for me.

 

@12TRDTacoma @Roostfactor thanks for the input. Drove it today and tried not to keep my foot out of it, no belt dust yet. Belt still seems fine, no fraying that I can see. As far as off-kilter idlers go, one of my wrap idlers did loosen off once, which destroyed the 2" pulley I had. So, good advice for me (and anyone for that matter) who's doing things like adding idlers.

I'll let you know how things go as I drive it more.

 

I just found some longer screws in my fastener collection.

 

Torque wrenches? Nah man, everybody knows you just use an air impact and count the ugga luggas!

Tacoma wheels require 13 ugga luggas for the lug nuts.

 

I need to get rid of my craftsman torque wrench. Only thing it’s good for is wheels. The torque range doesn’t go high enough for wheel bearings and it doesn’t go low enough for other stuff. I think I’ll go pick up those harbor freight icon torque wrenches. They seem decent enough for me.

 

We may be talking about a different section. The outer most nose bearing cover that goes outside the coupler. You won’t be able to get a torque wrench on them all unless you use a crows foot with a 13mm on an adapter torque wrench. I rebuilt mine off as well. Replaced cup bearings and the works. Did as many maintenance tips and tricks as to possible. I used a full kit off eBay. I can look up the exact package if anyone is interested but it came packaged and complete. I even called them to get some help on needle bearing removal and how far to bury the new ones back in. They were out of Missouri.

Nice torque wrenches. I couldn’t find glasses anywhere and could no longer read mine. I got pissed and bought a digital snap on off of Facebook marketplace. I love it but it only delayed my degradation.

 

The Japanese instructions for this Apexi AFC Neo is not helping. I’m glad google translate has the ability to translate through the camera though.

 

Also which of these would be the “input wire” for the drivers side o2 sensor? This is for the narrowband simulating feature of the PLX wideband. The PLX MultiGauge instructions also suck.

 

Yeah, we’re tslking about the same thing. I do have crows feet, but that one I just used a wrench

 

I always add 1 or 2 more ugga luggas just to make sure those nuts are nice and tight. Wouldn't want one to pop off when I'm parked at the mall

 

Did Toyota provide any guidance for you with the supercharger or after they reflashed your ECU's for the TRD tune on requiring the use of 91 Oct or higher fuel?

 

It specifically states you must use 91+ octane

 

I figured. I'm looking at the TRD tune calibration I noticed they start the truck off in a more aggressive state regarding the Knock Correction Learned value.

Thanks for answering that so quickly!

 

Don’t judge me....
