TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Danger to manifold LOL

 

the 5th gens are not the same 4.0s as us they have the "high output" wich i think is the dual VVT-i

 

Different lower intake manifold, not sure about pulley or other mounting locations.
The DVVTI 1GR-FE is vastly different than the original internally. No idea about external dimensions or mounting points for the tvs blower.

 

Actually, this is a TVS version of the TRD blower... no longer a roots. Not only did we get screwed for no dual vvti but we screwed with older blower style technology.

 

Wheres Gadget at?

 

Didn't get skrewed with a stronger set of internals..... The grass is far from greener, my friend.

 

That's right. I forgot the single vvti version of the 1GR is actually stronger than the dual vvti. Good call.

 

Ya I’m happy I don’t have air pumps either!!

 

Toyota just did a massive recall on the secondary air injection pumps and equipment. So kudos to them for that....

 

Have you ever had an issue?

 

I have not.....in that thread, the over big opinion is the 12-13’s are the one with the problem. I guess by 2014 they figured out what was causing the issues.

 

Hmm. I’m 13.

 

Yeah, look for the thread. It starts with a couple codes that are thrown....limp mode because the valves remain open....Toyota came out with a sweet warranty and the fix

so I made an adjustment to the ARB compressor under the hood to make room for the intercooler reservoir. You can see in the pic why this had to be done (I refuse to rewire all my switches)


Do you think this location will have negative affects on the overall performance of the coolant system? Minus the possible longer hose purchase, I think it should be fine.

 

Looks good to me

 

With the new AEM gauges, they are much thinner than previous version. This poses a problem for many gauge pods. My fix was finding a longer screw, same size (M4 x .70) and linking them with the original, long nut.







Still gives you a clean look without modifying the original hardware.

 

Your reservoir location is fine. Just make sure it is the highest point in the system so air has a place to escape. Higher than the sc. Extra coolant lines are not an issue.

 

Thanks gents
