Mods that should be done at the same time as magnuson supercharger install?

[jdm-v35]

I had the TRD supercharger on my 2014 Tacoma.
I wouldn’t do an pulley off the bat, save that for later when you have had it awhile and you want a little more. Not a lot you can do with the Magnuson/TRD later anyway…..trust me wait till later, it will make you love it all over again

•Oil catch can
•Trans cooler
•Transmission valve body upgrade•••• [emoji817] percent worth cost!
•Scan gauge II at the very least for monitoring temps
•Intake and exhaust if you don’t already have….makes a huge difference with the blower.

•If you want headers, look into TacomaWorld post on custom made and tune header. A forum member used to make them…Rooster something or other. Factory aftermarket headers can be hit or miss and drone horribly. Amazing sound. This guys work is amazing dynoed most/consistent gains out of 2 other major brands.

•On the Tacoma a higher flow fuel pump a good idea, I don’t think the 4Runner needs as I believe it has higher flow pump to start

It seems unfortunately there is no pulley upgrade available and no valve body upgrade.

I did end up buying a chf radiator though

no valve body upgrade.

IPT modifies your valvebody.

OP I just dropped of my 4R today for the Magnuson install. Where did you get your upgraded tensioning hose clamps??? How much are you paying for install? I'm paying $1200. Thanks for the info.

what about an external auxiliary transmission cooler?

+1 on the transmission cooler for OP

Some armor, lift, tires, and basic performance mods on mine (not supercharged) and already see trans temps over 220F easily in the summer.. closer to 240F offroad.. Trans cooler now has it back down to a nice ~180F

Also did a transmission fluid change (with filter) at ~60k and was probably the best *mod* in terms of driving improvement!

Amazon.com: Breeze CT-9410 Aero-Seal Constant Torque Liner Clamp with Stainless Screw Effective Diameter Range: 9/16" - 1-1/16" (14mm - 27mm) : Industrial & Scientific

Will be doing the install myself, so not paying anyone. I work on cars a lot, so install should be relatively easy just a tedious process.

Thanks! I will be doing a CSF radiator at the same time which should help it some. I a=will also monitor temps with a scanguge and see how it goes. Since it is also cold here(was -13F last week) I also need to worry about the trans fluid getting too cold so it needs to be sort of a balance. If temps get bad though I will def add a trans cooler.

The cold weather would help in your case.

FYI, it is best to add the Trans aux cooler in-line with (i.e. after) the OEM radiator exchanger as it also has the duty of warming the trans fluid after startup.

That's why you would normally find the transmission fluid temp close to or above water coolant temp. of ~185F. Ideal ATF temp would be between ~160F and 190F

Coincidentally I actually saw a Speed Academy video of his review of the magnuson on his 4runner, and he mentioned adding a trans cooler and he had to tape the front of it completely covered because in cold weather the trans would never get to proper temp.

Who is doing the install? and did you supply SC kit or them? Thanks

I already replied to your other thread. I did it myself.

My bad new truck lots of questions little time I repeat myself in person too. lol

No problem. I put more detail into that reply you posted in general forum, but it is doable yourself if you have the tools and patience for it. I took my time to be very meticulous to make for an oem like install and torquing every single bolt to spec etc so it took me a little more time

washer bottle relocate or aux battery

If I relocate my washer bottle reservoir to front passenger side with an expedition one setup will that F me in the A when the SC goes in? assuming its a magnuson?

No, all the magnuson stuff is on the driver side, so if you put anything in the open areas on driver side then you would need to modify accordingly. Passenger side is untouched.

Good to know the only thing Ive added drivers is SPOD right next to master cylinder and that can be moved if needed.

 

[KC-4Runner]

Thanks. unfortunately that spot is occupied for me since I have a switchpros there. I guess I will have to wait till I install the supercharger, then see if I have space for a catch can anywhere.

The new SC for 2020+ 4Runners has a coolant tank there. If you have any electrical bus stuff there you will have to move it. The stock secondary Fuse box also has to be moved. I am working on a custom bracket.

 

[KC-4Runner]

I did mine last weekend. When you have a vehicle problem, if your first thought is to take ito a mechanic than you should have someone install the SC for you. On the other hand, if you are like me and never let anyone touch your vehicles than you should do it yourself.

Don't know why are you are replying to my old thread of me answering a question to someone else. I did my install a long time ago.

Also to your other comment - this install is easy for pretty much anyone - just takes time.
