TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Haha thanks man. Putting both at the same time wasn’t my initial plan, that’s for sure. But a window opened up and I went for it all. Hit a couple snags but got it all done in a weekend, just in time for work on Monday lol. It’s nice to finally be a part of the group after havin the SC sit in my garage mocking me the past 5 months that I’ve been home

 

You're very welcome!
You can't datalog with the UCON until Scott loads the program on your laptop. You won't get the program unless you either have problems or get headers which would justify a new tune.
The UCON doesn't record any data (that I know of) so you can't just plug in a laptop and download a bunch of data. The only way to datalog with the UCON is by having the program (Etune Lite) I believe installed by Scott, then you have to connect the laptop to UCON. When ready to datalog you hit the "start" button on Etune Lite and it only records for 60 seconds.
If Scott ever remotes in to your UCON he will ask for 2 catalogs. One cruising at steady throttle on the freeway and one floored from a dead stop through 3rd gear.
Then you email the 2 datalogs to Scott for him to check all the parameters.

The intercooler pump will drain the battery if it's connected to the circuit in the instructions. That circuit runs the evap pump so NOW, after the truck is turned off the evap pump and intercooler pump turn on and off randomly.

 

That makes sense, is there a good alternative to this? ORis it wired to do this for a specific reason?

 

Any source that only goes hot with ignition on is what you want. Mine is still connected to stock location but I plan on changing it at some point.
No advantage to stock location.

 

I ran mine to the main ignition wire inside the truck. The wire is a heavy guage and the color I believe is black with a red stripe. I installed a fuse in line for safety.

Leak detection pump runs randomly while the truck is off. If the coolant pump is hooked to the place in the instructions, the pump will also run. No reason for the coolant pump to be running while the truck is off.

 

I've considered hard wiring my fuel pump to the ignition to get around the UCON sync time but haven't tested it yet.

 

15A fuse?

 

Same rated fuse that is on the pump wiring I would think. Just extend the wire and route inside the truck to a dedicated ignition wire.

 

I've considered the same. Just haven't executed yet.

Same as what is already used by Magnuson.

 

Yea I’ll have to double check but I’m pretty sure it was a 15A.

 

Subd

 

You just parachuted in? We don’t play that way in this thread. You’ve gotta add something. And don’t start talking about fuel pumps.

 

Ill add

Interesting catch can location inyour profile picture. Looks great

 

Is everyone running a catch can?

 

Ive been meaning to.....

 

I definitely recommend one for our TRD blowers cause they catch half a pint every 4000 to 5000 miles. Plus, the intercooler fins will thank you being oil free

 

Guess mine needs a really good cleaning then OOps.....

 

I'm on page 13 of 97.give me some time lol

 

I’m not. And no plans either.

 

I have similar results with mine. It gets alot.

Ive been meaning to disconnect it and see what happens with my random misfire code.
