That JB Weld had me doing a double-take. Love the diversity in content here. 4Runners are huge in popularity but not tons of RUclips content out there for them.
I've gone back and forth on the supercharger for mine. Part of me really wants it. The other part thinks I bought it because its reliable as the rotation of the earth and that messing with that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The 4runner is a truck I can jump into right now and feel confident that I could drive to almost anywhere in the world, and that it would bring me back. I can imagine being in south america somewhere and doing the pan-american highway, only for the supercharger to develop a fault. That whine is intoxicating though
I wished you had washed the engine bay before the install. It makes the process nicer and also prevents crap from falling into the engine/intake etc while disassembling
This was the first video I saw when I was considering a Magnuson. I got my new 2023 4Runner ORP and when it had 400 miles on the odometer I installed my own Maggie. I've since put an additional 6,500 miles on my supercharged 4Runner so far and couldn't be happier!
@@orlando_mia4583 yup this is true. i cant remember what brand the kit was, but the procharger kit for a 370z actually gives you like 15% better fuel economy (or something silly like that)
Kentuckian here, we get *some* rust, but a New Yorker car buddy I was talking to about cars said he has to replace his car every few YEARS due to rust?!?
Love this build. You should look into the metal oil filter housing though before the stock plastic one breaks. Toyota makes a metal one you can swap on.
🤣🤣 JB weld on your plugs. I don't even put anti seize on plugs. It can throw out your torque values. Another great video guys and looking forward to the exterior transformation 👍🏻
Getting the power you want usually necessitates an engine swap or messing around with a whole slew of power adders and supporting mods, expensive dyno tuning, troubleshooting etc... What a PAIN. That supercharger kit is testament to top notch engineering from Magnuson and the overengineered, unstressed nature of the 4.0 v6. It's a shame this wasn't (commonly) an option from the factory!
You really shouldn't put any on. Most modern spark plugs have an antisieze coating on the threads. Adding any lubricant makes stripping the threads much too easy during install. NGK claims that most damaged spark plugs are a result of using antisieze and the subsequent over-tightening. That said, I'd trust any seasoned mechanic to know what works for them and their own built-in torque sensor. Amateurs should probably save the copper antisieze for exhaust bolts and studs as recommended by the service manual.
Sweet 4runner! My only experience with one was driving one home after a rave at 6am because owner/friend was too hammered on E and/or acid (20years ago iirc). It was a stick shift, it drove nicely.
Supercharged Yota's are awesome! Really neat build so far. Best taste in mods per usual. Used to work at Toyota, the 5.7L in the Tundra with a blower is nuts how much it transforms the performance 🤓 Would always use that particular truck for a loaner... 🙃
The only mod I have done to my 2018 4runner is install a size 27F battery. All you have to do is buy the bigger battery tray from a dealer for a 2008 4runner with a v8 engine. The Magnusom supercharger is next on my list!!
Great install video gents! Only thing I can advise is to get some constant torque clamps for the new coolant reservoir. Seems to be the main component that gives people issues aside from properly adjusting the vacuum actuator. Would also be a good idea to get it tuned at your local tuner for a more refined setup. Also, if you plan on keeping the rig I highly recommend getting the aluminum oil filter housing. Just make sure to swap the center column from the original! Keep the 4Runner videos coming!
These two are my 2nd favorite group of Canadians behind the members of Rush! Wait, also the band Triumph. So, 3rd favorite group of Canadians, guys! WooHoo!
If I where you, I would not replace the front it is way more beautiful that way but is up to anyone likes. Looking forward to see how long it would last with the supercharger amazing bro😄😄👌👌
Dont know how much it helps but i always relocate my toyota horns. They block so much of the cooling area. We need all the cooling we can get here in southern az! Im loving the build so far. Thanks guys.
As a precaution I recommend fluid filming or putting a lube protectant on the PRNDL switch on the passenger side of the trans. The salt corrodes them and then they shift hard into gear and throw check engine lights.
Most excellent episode my dudes! I'm always letdown when I drive my 2GR Tacoma after driving the wife's 2UZ 4Runner. It's not much more HP but the torques! oh the torques! (I admit I am used to low power Toyota truck engines)
Can you guys do a reliability update on the supercharger in about a year or so? I have been going back and forth on this mod for a while but I’m happy you guys installed it. Thanks!
@@CruzControl223 Might be the combo of tires and supercharger. Seems like a big hit for a 271 miles (per google maps) and 23 gal tank. Thanks for the info!
Awesome video! It doesn’t really matter too much for this low pressure application, but the push-on style hose and fittings are made to be used together without a clamp. When you clamp it, it actually cuts the working pressure in half as per manufacturers hydrostatic testing! Definitely use a clamp on the knurled tube ends though :) love these build series, keep it up!
You'll have to name the 4Runner to "Smuckers" because it is absolutely making some jam! Also, Smuckers, if you're reading, reach out to Pete and Dave for sponsorships.
I'm not sure if you guys have seen it yet or if they've branched out too the 4runners yet. But hp tuners has begun supporting 4.0 1gr's in tacomas. Supposedly toyota runs them super rich to keep the cats from melting. Also alot of the lack luster performance feel is down to how the factory ecm interprets the e-pedal signals. All that can be changed with the original ecu and hp tuners. Might be worth a look
Now after this video put a real tune in with the blower because we all know magnus came up with some ticky tacky bull crap afraid of a lawsuit when you blow up your engine with their tune! Then do another video of how it actually runs because I know that blower will smoke the back tires off if tuned correctly! Great video 👍🏻
@DP I had the factory TRD Supercharger (also Magnuson) on my 2010 5.7L Tundra... a 600hp truck is bonkers, you won't be disappointed! However, fuel mileage was 12mpg empty and around 8mpg with a 6,000lb trailer... but then again you don't put a supercharger on a Tundra hoping it'll get good mileage... lol
Love this, I've not seen someone supercharge one of these before but I'm here for it! DP, you can't let PT have all the supercharged Toyota truck fun ;) interesting it calls for anti seize, I know NGK says to not use it because of their trivalent coating that prevents seizing.
Does anyone else just love binge-watching car builds! Because I do!
I feel you its oddly satisfying
@@McRib47 same! xD
Yup
First the FRS, then the Flexus, and now the 4Runner! Y'all are on a quest to supercharge every Toyota product that comes your way, and I'm all for it!
"Here's why you can't lose money on any 4runner" vid coming up? lol
Supercharged Tundra coming up next, hopefully.
Supercharge an Fj! 🔥
@@Comfy_Snorlax Lolll, great idea!
I wish they had a kit for the rav 4
4runners are the ultimate "just a few mods, honey." Kind of car.
Love the build guys, keep going!
You 10000% got me with the JB weld. I was panicking for a hot second.
Same here! Cracking up afterwards though!
My heart dropped into my stomach for at least 5 seconds, like wtf!?
I was like, No fucking way this guy is serious 🤣
I started googling this new JB weld product convinced they had some new thing that was meant for plugs 😅
I’ve never jumped into the comments faster.
Every eppisode brings so much joy. You guys are killing it!
can we appreciate a company that cares about details Thank you Magnuson for your work and love.
That JB Weld had me doing a double-take. Love the diversity in content here. 4Runners are huge in popularity but not tons of RUclips content out there for them.
This needs a TRD intake!
Haha I started freaking out when he pulled the jb out

OMG the oil scene just came out of nowhere, even for you guys, absolutely LOVED this entire episode!
I wished you had washed the engine bay before the install. It makes the process nicer and also prevents crap from falling into the engine/intake etc while disassembling
Thought the exact same thing
The car definitely ain't in great condition, forget the dirty engine bay did anybody spot that rot underneath?
@@KiranPatel-fk1pg rot? Lmao you must not live in a cold climate that’s just a little rust
@@shawn2104 yep i live in Australia. But that rust underneath didnt look like surface rust... and seemed like something to worry about and treat asap
This was the first video I saw when I was considering a Magnuson. I got my new 2023 4Runner ORP and when it had 400 miles on the odometer I installed my own Maggie. I've since put an additional 6,500 miles on my supercharged 4Runner so far and couldn't be happier!
happy you guys had the battery on the charger while flashing the tune. nice work guys
We put this kit on my bosses’ 4runner a few years back. No worries since install; he’s got close to 50k on it now.
How long did it take you?
Great episode! being able to see the supercharger installed and functioning in one video with no hiccups is impressive.
Disappointed about fuel mileage, gets a supercharger 🤣 next logical step
Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and embrace it😂
Sometimes your gain MPG by adding forced induction.
@@orlando_mia4583 yup this is true. i cant remember what brand the kit was, but the procharger kit for a 370z actually gives you like 15% better fuel economy (or something silly like that)
@@SR20DEBT "i cant remember what brand the kit was, but the procharger kit" procharger is literally a brand of centrifugal superchargers lol
@@SR20DEBT that kit is a stillen supercharger
Love the fact you get a paper manual
Dang I'm from NY and I'm still surprised when I see modern cars rust out so quickly
Probably never rustproofed. Big mistake if you're anywhere where they put salt on the roads. Toyotas are bulletproof but they rust out too.
Kentuckian here, we get *some* rust, but a New Yorker car buddy I was talking to about cars said he has to replace his car every few YEARS due to rust?!?
@@ab-zo6jt a lot of rusted out cars are rusted out due to rubber “rustproofing” coatings being applied
Toyota’s are notorious for rusting in the North
In Ontario, most people use salt instead of shovels or ploughs...'cause we're so busy and definitely not anything to do with modern laziness...
You guys sure had a lot of fun goofing off for this episode, huh? It's always nice working with your buddies, isn't it?
Love how excited you are while driving it. That's what vehicles should be all about.
as some one that lives in the desert all that rust makes me cringe
Can thank the Canadian winters for that 😂
That's nothing. I live in Pennsylvania, you should see what most of the cars look like here.
@@MichaelGuardiani Oh yeah I've seen some rusty Tacoma frames working as a Toyota tech in Alberta. Especially the ones that were recalled.
AZ here. Moved from the Midwest. I love the vehicles here!! So easy to work on old cars that have lived here.
On the west coast we don't use road salt when it snows, we use gravel. So no rust either
Love this build. You should look into the metal oil filter housing though before the stock plastic one breaks. Toyota makes a metal one you can swap on.
Now I want one for my odyssey. I love watching you guy's
I love this channels “mod my ____” car series it’s so entertaining!!!!

Thank you guys for taking the time to make that awesome editing, it puts a smile on my face. You are the best.
Love that JB Weld joke hahahaa
putting that much antiseize so close to the spark plug tip was as bad as that joke

I’ve got one stuck plug on my car. Previous owner may not have realized this was a joke…

Woo! Always wanted to supercharge my 4Runner. Just supercharged my Lexus IS350 this past fall and thinking of doing it to my new Tacoma! Good stuff
I’m glad you like it. It almost seemed like you were disappointed at first
This video makes me miss my 4Runner!
These two are my 2nd favorite group of Canadians behind the members of Rush! Wait, also the band Triumph. So, 3rd favorite group of Canadians, guys! WooHoo!
Pretty awesome! Supercharged 4runner must be fairly fun!
Lovely to see the «old man» doing some work to😜😁👍👍
Great episode. You guys are a true joy to watch😊😊🙏
Nice build guys! I was thinking about getting a 4runner. Now I feel like I need one so I can do this. This is the power it needed from the factory.
Really enjoy the length of these episodes.
Black fender flares would be on point!
Love the channel. No one else competes 🤛🏼
This was a fun episode. Thanks for the hard work.
As some one already mentioned, time to add a pedal commander and possibly TRD intake/exhaust (or Borla, Magnaflow).
Loving this 4Runner build!
I'm really enjoying this build. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to part 3.
If I where you, I would not replace the front it is way more beautiful that way but is up to anyone likes.
Looking forward to see how long it would last with the supercharger amazing bro😄😄👌👌
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, i was so much waiting for this!!!!! yay, let me get my coffee and sit back :) greetings from El Salvador!
DP almost got me with the JB quik on the spark plugs LOL. 👌👌 very nice piece of kit
One of my biggest pet peeves is when @Speed Academy work on their cars without cleaning it first.
I was not expecting a Supercharger install on a 4runner!
With that airbox it looks very OEM. Guaranteed you pop the hood and most people would assume it came that way.
I love binging these builds, it makes me want to buy a car and mod one myself. I know nothing about cars though!
I would love to hang with these guys for a day.
Hope PT puts it back on the rack for a serious corrosion treatment underneath.... Great project!
what size is crank pulley bolt head? ANSWER 22MM
Let's get back to cars. Especially interested in the Evo 6 follow up. There are a million truck videos.
Finally someone did it! Super charger on a 4runner!
Dont know how much it helps but i always relocate my toyota horns. They block so much of the cooling area. We need all the cooling we can get here in southern az! Im loving the build so far. Thanks guys.

We all need a buddy like Dave. What a guy!
Edit: I spoke too soon. JB Weld hahahahaha
I find it amazing that a 2014 model Toyota is still using a mechanical cooling fan.
My 2021 still has the mechanical fan clutch. I’m glad, no electronics, no computers.
Most excellent episode my dudes! I'm always letdown when I drive my 2GR Tacoma after driving the wife's 2UZ 4Runner. It's not much more HP but the torques! oh the torques! (I admit I am used to low power Toyota truck engines)
I wish the 5th gen offered a V8. I hate this 4.0, the 2.5 turbo 5cyl in my Volvo feels way more torquey.
You guys have the dream job..
need a mild exhaust on the 4runner pete maybe just a set of vibrant street power mufflers
Please tell you are going to address some of that rust… :/
3:07 the good ole I already cleaned my hands but making it look like I’m whipping my clean hands with a clean rag to make the job look easy trick lmao

Currently enjoying this episode with cuppa tea and biscuits. #publicholidayvibes
this thing is super kickass
Like how you guys did suspension first, then the engine. Power doesn't mean anything if you can't handle it.
20:40 that’s the biggest tanker trailer I’ve seen on a highway system haha. I’ve only seen a few of those on the road here in the states before.

Dang this makes me wanna supercharge my 2012 TOYOTA PRADO now it has the same 4.0L 1GR-FE DUAL VVTI V6
You got air in, now you just need to get air out. Need a big high flowing exhaust. Still run mufflers but you need headers and mid section for sure
Need one of these on the tundra!
