General Supercharger Thread

I've called a few times since I'm local. Couldn't get ahold of anyone, granted I did not leave a voicemail. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe I'll just swing by there.

 

It took some calls for me to catch him. Voicemails were definitely the best way, and then email second. They're apparently really busy with builds happening in the shop, so think less e-commerce and more hands-on off road shop. This is based on my discussions with him, anyways. I'll also follow up again if I don't hear from him tomorrow

 

Be patient! Big offroad events happening around the corner... we'll all be super happy very soon!

 

Got more clarification, basically, if your crossmember goes over the driveshaft, it'll fit.

If your crossmember has a loop that goes under the driveshaft, it won't fit.

 

Interesting

 

The 8AR mod to my tune has solved all my issues! It's like magic!

I tried to install the upstream O2 and it is in there so tightly with an O2 socket I semi rounded the sensor.

 

That's great! My extended starts are gone and starts within 4 seconds, seems stronger too. I still haven't gapped out to .034 but am at .028 right now.
Those primary O2's can be a bitch!

 

Had to use vice grips and a hammer to get mine loose.

 

Powersteering fluid and acetone in a 1:1 ratio will loosen those 8itches up nicely!!

 

I’ve always done transmission fluid and acetone. Nothing that stuff can’t loosen up.

 

I haven’t tried the crayon method yet, but you’d think it would work well on a hot ass exhaust.

 

It was cool when I tried, ordered this, hopefully it works.

Hey supercharger gods. Looking at getting this kit but am a noob to this topic. All that comes with this is the following:
MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGER TVS1900Head unit with intake gaskets, belt and idler pulley only.

Just want to know what else I need to install. I know it will require a tune as well. And do I need to be concerned if its for flex/non flex fuel? Thank you.

 

Assuming that’s Nergal’s ad from superchargers online. You’ll need the fit kit to install it. And they can source that for you.

 

Yes I did reach out to them to inquire about the rest of it, thank you.

 

Just bringing this link back to the top. RockAuto is still the cheapest I could find with a solid supply chain, though Denso direct was only a few $$ more/coil. Lexus branded were nearly double the price, even with the current 25% off sale.

Solid work from this thread, especially with the dwell time being addressed. I think I'm giving proper kudos: @e30cabrio @Jowett @JustDSM @reywcms

 

@e30cabrio ordered em up and we followed suit afterwards. @Jowett knows the platforms and cross references.

 

Welcome to the insane asylum, warning: Through this path madness lies.....

2 questions, I want the defouler on the upstream & although there is antiseize on the O2 do I also need whatever is in the packet?

 

Those are in my truck as we speak.

 

Your primary needs to read for closed loop it won't be accurate.

 

my post was updated to ensure your contribution is captured.

 

So the defouler goes on the secondary.

 

Yes the secondary. It helps with the p0420 related codes. If in the primary it won't properly read and could be way off for the ecu, inject less/more fuel than needed.

 

Downstream is done. Waiting for the Amazon 12 point claw delivery.



Thanks!

 

Fuck that, go to Calranch and buy a 6-point ratcheting box wrench.

 

Was that on the driver side? My main issue is the front driveshaft, that fucker is seriously in the way.

lol

 

Didn't occur to me the connector will fit through a 22.

Trying this.

 

Whelp, it's rounder nau.

lol

 

That packet is anti seize and yes, I’d use it to avoid rounding it out next time you need to change it.

 

That's why you need the 6 point open end

12 points only exist for tight spaces or stupid fasteners
