General Supercharger Thread

Assuming you have a magnuson? Bang for your buck dollar per horsepower wise I say you can’t go wrong either way getting a smaller pulley. You could probably gain around 30-40hp from the pulley and a retune, but then you may also need more fuel to support it so then you may get into needing bigger injectors and a pump. If you have a Harrop the supplied pump is sufficient for just a step down in pulley size, you’ll just need injectors. Headers you end up probably doubling the expense to get an additional 20-40hp. All depends how much you want to spend and how much more power you want.

If it’s a magnuson I’d count on $1500ish for a pulley, injectors, fuel pump and tune for 20-40hp gain. Longtubes may get you the same amount of gain for more money (whatever they cost+install). If a Harrop it’s a no brainer, just pulley down and get injectors. and tune it at a minimum.

I did see that one! The truck I’m thinking of is actually a different one though. But you’re right both are in the 715whp range with harrops. The one I’m thinking of I know has TRD duals, not sure what that white one has for exhaust.

 

You and your build will be missed.

 

I have the Magnuson. Any ideas on pulley suppliers or upgrade kits to avoid a DIY error?

I hit 11.3 psi on my AEM boost gauge today, stock manifolds, 2.3 pulley on a Maggie with a PS intake and RFC throttle body.

 

Does it spike to the 11.3 or was it holding there?

 

Had a spike to 12.1 held at 11.3

 

I guess this cold air helps! It’s 7 degrees where I’m at.

 

It was 40 outside when I made the run, it's 6 here now, lol, I won't take it out when it's this cold

 

Those are "going" temps! Just need to make sure the transmission is ready to shift! Awesome news on your boost!!

 

Yes, with the Valve body it's ready to go.

 

Thats interesting. Today I measured 4.3psi @ 10,000ft and it matched up to my projections really well, as does my testing at 2500ft. I would've expected 9psi assuming my 2.3" projections are at all accurate (big if) so I wonder if your mods have allowed the extra 2psi. Do you know how much psi it made on the stock pulley?

 

I don't, I wish I did. They claim the intake will give an extra 2 psi.

 

Boost solstice is here

 

Mine started a similar sound recently as temps dropped.

did not go away as engine warmed up but actually has gotten more frequent and longer. Sounds like belt tensioner or replace belt? This belt was installed with S/C about 2 months ago and would hope belt would last longer…

To me, that sounds different. Mine sounds like a resonance at specific RPMs, yours a "honk" like there's a resistance to air flow or like blowing across the top of a beer bottle.

We get a couple more of these together and we'll have a band.

 

Progressive didn't cover freaking ANYTHING.
well.. they DID credit me 345 bucks for the 2k+ in aftermarket wheels and tires, 300 dollar running boards, and roughly 4k in suspension parts I had to leave on it.

The SC stuff I luckily was able to swap out almost everything for stock parts I'd kept.

They kept calling me to give get it "to evaluate it" and I kept dodging then t until I had put it back as much to stock as I could.

 

Oh, your profile pic just gave me another idea! I still have some rattle can red enamel left. Gonna do the TRD emblem in red

 

Nice. my suggestion is spray it into a cap and then use a brush. I painted my black that way with high temp gloss black. Just keep dabbing out on slowly.

the red is KBS in Torch Red... which ironically is a Ford color and ended up being the exact paint code of the new truck!

 

If it didn't get too hot, which it does unfortunately, I'd dip it like a Maker's Mark bottle!!

 

Just bought my 4 credits for HPTuners, I have the MPVI2+ Pro, and sent an email over to OTT.

I never ran gauges on the Taco, like I KNOW I should have. What are the preferred gauges and wideband O2 sensors? Will get those ordered next. Looking to start the install in next few weeks

 

Also this seems cool. Wonder if that Tudnra will make it on the list, but I guess it's only "Select 2010+ FCA and 2019+ GM vehicles are eligible for neural network training"

Innovate PSB-1 wideband/boost gauge imo

 

They will want the AEM one that will log on Hp tuners

 

Interesting, I hadn't considered there were ones "compatible" with HPTuners and other tuning software. Has the ODBII pass-through connector. Will probably order this

Ya that’s the one I got. It’s super easy to install

 

They didn’t really want me to get one until I switched to the 75mm. But it’s good to have one anyway

 

Actually I'm kinda leaning this way since it'd be cheaper than getting two seperate AEM gauges. Plus I do have that standalone data logger for my MPVI2+ Pro already, wouldn't really need the ODBII adapter the AEM has

 

You get that thing running well yet on the 75mm? Also @reywcms any Whipple updates?

 

Gonna see if I can get my friend to help design and 3D print a pod for the gauge here in the center dash.
