Supercharged 4Runner question!

Hey all! I have a 40th Anniversary Edition and I've supercharged it with the Magnuson supercharger. Are the cold air intakes from AFE and comparable companies compatible? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

Yes.

 

Very cool super charger! Grats.

Can you do me a HUGE favor and take a few pics of the right side of the super charger including the space to the right to the fender? With multiple angles.

The space between the battery and the firewall. I've moved some stuff around there and am curious if that might impact a super charger install.

And how's the car feel now?

 

I am not sure....but the plumbing might not be compatible as it connects to the lines that go into the throttle. Magnuson says to keep everything stock because most likely their hoses around the intake system are sized for the stock unit and not aftermarket CAI. Just my 2c.

 

There's a blower specific intake from AFE.

 

I have the AFE intake. My TRD wouldn’t fit (or so I was told).

 

Yes, picture is above

 

I will let you know, i'm in the middle of my SC install now. Think i can get the TRD to work, may have to extend the fresh air and vacuum lines to feed from the front.

 

i had same concern as you about the heat exchanger coolant tank on the magnuson taking so much space on the the driver fenderwall side. I have my ARB compressor mounted back there with a big electrical system and know there's no way i could fit everything......looked around for tank brackets, or if anyone had relocated it and came across this FIGS Engineering tank thats a direct fit but mounts up out of the way. you could also use this tank and mount it wherever and just run some longer hoses

Sweet thank you! I'll look it up!

 

Here ya go! The only thing I could see that might need to be rerouted would be the intercooler lines that come out of the back top side of the supercharger. Lines run between the battery and the engine. As for how it feels it's a HUGE difference. If I drive gently I get better gas mileage and if need to pass someone it's much easier and the little whine of the supercharger is HIGHLY addicting lol.

 

Thanks for the pics that's very helpful!

Very cool dude. I'm very jealous. Very happy for you and your 4Runner!

 

Almost got it done, she's running just have to tighten up some cable and hose runs. I only made the TRD CAU work because i like the looks and going back to stock would have been longer.

 

Looks great. I like the rubber pieces on this intake. They just look cool. Congrats on the supercharger! Beautifully done sir.

 

What all did you have to alter?

 

For the TRD CAI, just a longer vacuum hose and a fresh air line. They need to be about 1' longer.

 

Bad ass my man. Hey uh. Any time you're walking by your truck and just feel like taking a pic of the SC please do and post it

 

Test drive complete. Amazing! Time to find a dyno tune.

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Pics of what?

 

This was mine when it was brand new. I have put 40K miles on this thing, so far so good. Last month I had to change the tensioner, belt, and some of the pulleys as a "little" prevantive maintance. I will post it later. Nothing major but I got a lot dust and dirt into the tensioner and at idle it had a weird noise. I will post the background and old parts for those that have this as FYI.

 

what power switch are you using? I had to return the one I originally ordered because the pump magnuson provided mounts in the same space. I just ordered the garmin power switch kit from blaze offroad so hopefully that fits better.

 

I think the kit came with the switch pro plate. It has been 4 yrs now but I can double check later.

 

This is my blue sea set up. I was able to move the reservoir for the inter cooler using all the supplied hardware. Flattened out the bracket and use an FJ bracket for more support. Came damn close to ditching it, after removing it twice to mount the relay. Still might go back and rebuild the harness for the inter cooler pump.
