General Supercharger Thread

Weird. My trans cooler was installed by my dealership. I didn’t ask anything about the warranty though.

 

they balked at the setrab cooler....it was not toyota.

No problem. They just ended their relationship with me.

 

Christmas lights are up.

Streets were moist - could not do 0-60. soon.....very soon

AND! I'm having the trans cooler put on by a local shop.

...it is worth the price of the S/C install to see the googly eyes when you open the hood.

 

Seriously, how often do I have to read this thread....it is beyond aggravating.....get over it.

 

I would say...ehhh....36 times.

give or take.

wait till we all start getting HP Tuners on our S/C'd Tundras.

should be a hoot.


question...How would @hagrid would have responded? I aspire to that.

 

You and me both !

 

Fellas, just got IPT valve body put in, it makes shifting real snappy when giving it, I was worried it may be too harsh during daily driving, but it feels like stock, but when you give 'er, it shifts like suppose to.

Now, just gotta find time over the break to install the s/c kit.

 

Glad to hear, that may be in my future as well. I heard great things about it. Mind if I ask what is the total cost of that assuming you send in your stock valve body core? And sorry if you already mentioned, which SC did you go with?

 

Ditto

please expound on this

 

I bought mine off the board, so I did not have to send in core, that also means my core will be up for sale, may be a chain core-exchange can happen to minimize down times!

I paid a shop to install it along with suspension and few small stuff, ipt calls 2 to 4 hrs for the job.

First to second feels like a dsg/pdk if you are familiar with them, it can be smooth as stock if take off slowly, but when giving it, it shifts like dsg/pdk up to 4th, supposedly can shave 2 tenths in the 1/4, and should help with longevity.

I went with magnuson, was at the right place and right time.

 

Looks like I'm doing a full build with the Whipple. Going to a 6.8L, Cams, ported heads, fuel system and rear diff. I like my Magnuson, but I want to make about 800 to the wheels.

 

Damnnnnn , what are you changing the rears to?

 

Not sure yet, I have been looking at a few diffs, just want to put more power to the ground.

 

Is it going to handle mildly until you hit it, or will this thing be twitchy and loud as hell?

 

It's going to be a bit of a sleeper, but the way it looks now and after the engine is installed it will be hard to get away with that. It will be loud at WOT, but shouldn't be bad at idle or driving around.

 

Prospeed Pro750 tundra video is loud AF. So I was curious.

 

Hey Brother I’m in Phoenix too and was thinking about a Magnuson. Mind if I ask who you went through? Someone local? Thanks in advance.

 

Jeff at Westcott Designs. They have installed several and know what they are doing.

 

Thank you! I’ll check them out.

 

Are you using a shop? If so, do you mind sharing the shop name? Thanks.

 

I’m located outside of Philadelphia in PA. Does anyone know a reputable shop for install and tuning for a Harrop?

 

Call them and speak with Chris or Ryan. They’ll get you sorted!

 

Ok cool. I emailed Chris earlier today so hopefully soon!

 

If anyone in Colorado ever comes across this thread in the future, this is the shop doing my install.

I don’t think they have just a regular website. Least I couldn’t find it.

 

I had my LT headers installed by RT tuning in Montgomeryville and was happy with them. I know they have installed Magnuson on a tundra and their lot had 3 Toyotas in it the other day. May want to check them out.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I have used Vince at RT Tuning on my 350Z for dyno tuning with Uprev. I was happy with their results and will contact them if I can’t trust anyone closer to where I live.

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s their install labor rate or how much was the header installation?

 

PMd

 

A shop that I used before to get my Supra parts is building the engine, XAT racing. I work for a dealership and we will install it, I will have it Tuned in Baltimore.

 

I am thoroughly interested in this engine build

please keep us informed

 

Looking into fuel systems and rear differential now, transmission work already done. All in will be about 42k parts, labor and tune. Not exactly cost effective but I love the V8 and don't plan on selling the truck at any point. Lol, would never come close to getting my money back.
