General Supercharger Thread

I don't remember what the stock Harrop looked like. Sounds like it would be easier to mount a MAF to the tube. Lots of ways to skin the cat.

 

Hmm, if my lead on a magnuson one at a better price doesn’t pan out it could be worth a try. It looks like this.

 

Would also create an insulated barrier

 

I don't remember how it all connects, is the MAF on the ribbed tube?

No sure I understand replacing that ribbed section with a larger dia pipe when you have a restriction before it. I don't think you would get the full benefit but I'm not an airflow guy.

 

No the MAF mounts on the little stub of plastic tube coming right out of the airbox. It’s less about the tube diameter for flow for me and more about getting the MAF voltage ceiling taken care of. The throttle body necks down to 76mm (2.99”) anyway, so it’s not as if the 3.5” pipe can’t move enough air….it’s just that damn MAF voltage ceiling.

 

yeah, those are both the 90mm size.

the one pictured in the 2 posts following yours are the 98mm SC one.

 

The aluminum pipe to me has a better bolt up location for the maf. The maf screws into plastic which I’ve seen cause issues of staying. So that alone to me is worthy of switching tubes

 

Wonder if this box is the same size as the 07-13 OE Airbox. Does anyone know?

 

The lower airbox is the same. 07-13 lower airbox is the same lower as the Magnuson lower, but the lid is different and that’s what matters. The lid on the 07-13 still has the smaller 3.5” MAF tube attached. The magnuson lid has the 4” MAF tube attached. Both the magnuson lid and the 07-13 lid do not fit the 14+ lower box.

 

When I was thinking about doing this I was actually going to cut the existing tube that comes out of the OE airbox lid that has the original MAF sensor mounted on it and leave maybe like a quarter inch or half inch of the tube sticking out and actually try to JB weld the aluminum one in Somehow to the existing airbox lid. I remember the OD of the existing tube especially right where it joined the lid was similar to the ID of the aluminum tube. I also found a plastic one identical to the aluminum one that’s used on the newer LS engines that have the same mounting point for the MAF sensor as the Toyota but it was also back ordered. The interesting part about this particular tube is that the MAF sensor mounting point was raised quite a bit above the body of the tube which made me think of something else The Something else I was thinking about was I used to have an MR2 Syder and one of the popular mods was to get Larger Celica GT injectors but then just use quarter inch spacers to raise the MAF sensor in the existing air intake, just lifting it up out of the tube itself tricks it into thinking it’s in a larger tube and would increase its capabilities. This mod would give that little engine about 25hp. Not sure if it would work on our trucks, but it always fascinating where our minds go and what can be accomplished with a little redneck engineering

 

Sweet!Thanks I still have my OEM Airbox. I guess I just need to buy the top and I might just buy the coupler too. I’m assuming it’s the same filter size?

 

The Magnuson intake and the 07-13 are the same filter size to my knowledge. If you have the rubber boot that came with the Harrop that should stretch over the Maggie lid and work perfect, no need to buy the other one. In fact the other one may not line up with the Angle of the Harrop inlet at all.

 

Just got off the phone with SCOL. Ordered the box. They have them in stock so grab them while they still have them lol

 

So would this AFE ‎31-10146 filter be the one to buy?

$92 aFe POWER Magnum FLOW OE Replacement Air Filter w/Pro DRY S Media for Toyota Tundra 07-21 V6-4.0L/V8-4.6L/4.7L/5.7L #31-10146

I just ordered that same one lol. We will find out next week lol

 

Based on this …

 

Roger that. Let us know when you receive it.

 

Thats correct for the maggy box from what ive heard

 

I can't wait to use the phrase, "You are wrong and I hope you get crabs."

 

That's the exact link to the one I ordered and installed last week.

 

We are groovy then

 

Vent cut in the test fender. Just need to mesh and see how it looks. Then I’ll create a template to do it on the glass on the truck.

 

So I’ve been in contact with someone who’s got a supercharged tundra. He just dropped his rig off at AFE where they’re going to R&D creating a new intake setup. So far only details I got are conical filter will be used. He mentioned having issues under boost with filters. So I imagine it’s what was mentioned here with the filter collapsing but waiting to hear back.

 

Now I’m thinking of mount the GoPro in the box and see wtf Is going on in there lol

 

DAMN IT! lol. I LOVED my AFE Momemtum GT intake on the supercharged tacoma. It has a larger filter and stage 2 intake than the Stillen. I did an extensive compare between the Volant and AFE over on Tacomaworld. See link below for pictures. I'll gladly rebuy an AFE version for our rig

Yea I’m siked to see what they come up with. Who knows how long it’ll take but I’ll keep everyone posted as I talk to this dude on the Instagram.

 

They already make boxes for our truck, even with the stage 2 port, they just don't have the larger intake tube or adapter tube for the stage 2 port

 

I'll go ahead and throw the AFE conical filter pic over here. It's HUGE for the Tacoma, larger than the Stillen filter for the Tundra....

 

Also, they seal up the gap on the fender inlet port really well! No hot air entering this box. I'm totally excited to see it and will buy it as soon as it's available!

 

Guess I'll need to stock up on more gold wrap for the new box lol
