I jumped on it. Installed last week on mine, what a transformation. I am regeared to 488 and this combo with the SC is like driving a tundra. Thanks for your video.
Literally the only problem preventing the Tacoma from being the undeniable king of badass midsize or trucks in general is power. It already has the best design, reliability, available mods, etc. The Tacoma is already the best midsize truck but a supercharger makes it untouchable
I would love to install the supercharger, but not only would the truck be untouchable, with the cost of the supercharger and now rising gas prices, it makes it unaffordable.
I feel that the tools that are complaining about the power issues are the same guys who threw a lift an tires on a truck that needed gears from the factory. I think this truck was sold to a lot of first timers into the light truck world. Thank you for your review I've been looking for a video review on what appears to be a stock suspension/ tire size truck
Nice setup, I hope URD or somebody makes a smaller pulley down the road, I previously had a 2nd gen Tacoma with the TRD/ Magnuson Supercharger with FBO and URD Supergrip pulley, it was a very impressive setup. I look forward to seeing more Tacoma's with this setup and Full bolt ons with lots of tuning in the future. Good luck!
Any improvement in low end torque? Im really tired of having to go into 4 low on my 14% grade gravel drive if I ever have to start from a stop half way up. These trucks have literally no ass under 2500rpm with the 6 speed ( and yes ive been driving manuals over 20 years😁). The way I look at it I can re-gear and add a heavy weight flywheel to solve this but at that point ive spent half as much and made no more power.
Do you still have stock exhaust? I'm thinking a better flowing exhaust would do a lot for this engine with a supercharger even though aftermarket exhaust does little to nothing on a naturally aspirated 3.5L engine.
I installed one on my 2007 Tacoma Prerunner 4x4, it works great I did update the cold air intake and the exhaust. I would recommend installing the a oil catch can because the vacuum is much stronger. Any how my truck has 350k miles and she goes from 0-60 in about 7.5sec. As for mpg I get about 22mpg combine, riding on 285/75R16. What I like about the 2nd gen is 4.0L V6 is a powerful engine that doesn’t gear hunt like the the newer models.
Don't worry about the hype, or anti-hype you see on tacomaworld. The site is only a tacoma community, not a group of professionals. I was a mod on that forum for a year, and I can tell ya do not worry about hate from that site. Nice supercharger! I'm looking to do the same soon.
More like turbo 4 option. Dude I get 15mpg in my 16 trd off road imagine what a v8 would do. Plus even with the super charger it’s not that much more than the eco boost Ford does
Absolute the most fun i have ever had in any of my Tacoma’s, it’s incredibly LINEAR POWER, i have a 6-speed manual, it really comes on hard in 3rd,4th,5th, and believe it or not, but 6th gear 80-mph it will just pull hard to who knows, i stopped at 100-mph, it was pulling like a train, remember its a truck, so i wouldn’t drive much past 100-mph anyway, but if you were running from an Apocalypse, it will be perfect!!!
Nice you did it. I ordered a Pro Charger kit for my 3rd gen taco. Found an expert Tuner who tunes race trucks. Can't wait to do a comparison against magnuson.
Ive heard the procharger makes more all out HP, but it is more in the upper rpm range while the Magneson makes less HP but has a broader curve and makes power more linear, which would be more usesble. Roots vs centrifugal.
Sick dude I can’t wait My daily is 2021 taco stock 6 speed is already gnarly; I leave all kinds of fools in the dust. Love your truck. To the V8-obsessed : doing one in these would ruin it. Not necessary and cuts the goober-factor out of equation. Drive one then give your opinion. Again, For my fast AF powerful work truck I just skipped over the V8 & built a monster cummins diesel like a real man. I love both of my trucks the same if that tells you anything both are sick AF. Just sayin.
My 2nd gen 2007 Tacoma 4x4 has a supercharger she has 350k miles, 0-60 is about 7.5sec without extra weight on 33” tires. Not sure about stock. The 2nd has a faster time than the 3rd gen because of the 4.0 liter, but I would think it would be a bit slower. My truck avg about 20 combined, but that’s because I modified it can clean the intake values once every 10,000 miles.
I also have a manual Taco, so my question to you is, what gains if any do you feel with the drivability of the truck, say in highway 6th gear cruising etc.. just tipping into the throttle, do you feel torque improvements with low throttle inputs at lower revs over stock? just mashing the pedal to the floor all the time isn't realistic driving conditions.
Low throttle inputs do not engage boost (on any setup). when throttle plates are barely opened you have high vacuum not boost. Superchargers use vacuum bypass valves to bypass the superchargers at part throttle to allow normal unboosted engine operation. Otherwise you’d waste a ton of fuel. I’m not sure I understand your question. No mods make a difference at just tapping into the throttle because your brain is deciding how much power you want not the car. Now if you are asking about putting in like 3/4 throttle to go over a hill in 6th gear then yes there are vast improvements. Probably 60% throttle is where the vacuum bypass opens and you start transitioning from 10-20in HG of vacuum to 0-7psi of boost. Anytime your stock truck is at 0 or near 0 vacuum you are making more power with a supercharger or turbo Anytime your stock truck is above 0inHG of vacuum you are making the same power as stock with a super charger or turbo.
Appreciate your comment, ya I had a roots blower on my F150 lightning back in the day, and that setup would tip in to boost early because the bypass vacuum pot was fast.. you say you need 60% throttle input to drop the vacuum and transition to boost?. That seems quite high to me..? I also had many 3.5l ecoboost F150’s and they have instant torque being turbos, and I was hoping this blower setup would push to boost much earlier than you described, since this is the only point where these trucks need it most
You can tow 6800lbs easily with a stock Tacoma with a weight distribution hitch. I tow 4000lbs weekly and I’ve towed 3000miles with 6500lbs. The supercharger made it to where I never have to shift out of sixth on the highway and it’s a bit more fuel efficient while towing. 11.8mpg average of 2000 miles stock, and 13.2mpg average over 2000 miles SC. 75mph average and 4000lbs. You don’t need a larger truck unless you a pulling something like 6000+lb camper at 75mph.
Dude more videos btw we have same color lol send me your super charger lol if you don't mind what was the total price for the supercharger tax shipping all included
Neither with normal driving since the supercharger is bypassed at low throttle inputs. If you use the supercharger a lot like I do you can get as bad gas mileage as you want.
@neoxaero It will depend on the engine you select, the 3rd gens use a 3.5L V6 6speed as compared to the 2nd gens 4.0L V6 5 speed. So not to get technical one has higher torque and the other has power to displace with lower rpm. Speaking from experience the supercharger when installed correctly, will improve your mpg. Think of fan generating a tornado of air using the oxygen as fuel meaning less fuel uses in the engine. However back to the engine type Normally 4x4 have higher rpm which in turn hurts mpg. The 3rd gen Tacoma run into problems because of the 5 and 6 gear those are basically 2 overdrive. The computer will try to make the best decision on saving fuel, with the super charge installed it will run into a problem called gear hunting we’re it goes back and forth on 5th and 6th gear. As you add more weight this problem will occur more often and you will notice it. Assuming you have 32 or bigger tires I would recommend regrading for better performance. If done correctly you should gain about 2-3mpg. Hope that helps.
@Michael Gonzales No disrespect intended, but I think you are a little confused about how a supercharger works. You do not use the oxygen as fuel. The supercharger does increase the oxygen supplied to the engine but in return the engine must supply more fuel to avoid going lean. Now a supercharger can increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine, but this is rarely the case. Generally an engine will have to be tuned much more rich (more fuel per unit air) to ensure longevity. Superchargers also have a parasitic HP draw from the belt and rotors which further decreases mpg. Typically after market superchargers decrease fuel efficiency because of this. I get around the same MPG as before the supercharger on my Tacoma. Slightly less.
@@OpelPower it has to do with fuel to air compressor ratio. I believe the 3 gen are 10:1. Just adding a supercharger alone won’t improve much of anything. You have to modified the trucks exhaust and intake system to support the charge system.
@Opel Power , may I kindly ask for two answers. 1. Are you allowed to still use regular fuel with your supercharger and get some hp gain over stock engine? 2, How much fuel mileage do you get now?
@@OpelPower 1. Am I allowed to put regular 87 octane fuel type for long road trips for stock performance? 2. Would use of regular fuel damage anything? 3. With S/C on 91 fuel are you seeing improved low end torque, and pickup?
Yes, but currently nobody is tuning for these kits yet. Once HPtuners cracks the ECU I would consider bumping up the boost a bit and having it dyno tuned. Also the hp is currently limited by the fuel pump. A better pump and injectors are required to go above the 7psi I currently have.
@@OpelPower ahh ok thanks! I just had my tacoma supercharged. Will wait for that aswell. I just want a little more boost lol. seems like the 84mm wouldn't make much of a difference to require a tune or fuel upgrade.
It would definitely need a tune. It is imperative to keep the AFR really rich in this truck. Even that little of a change might be enough to cause some damage. Remember this truck is already at 11.8:1 compression. From what I read the stock fuel system is good for 350WHP. A tune and 1psi more boost would get you there.
About 35,000. My factory nose drive was defective, magnuson sent me the part and I replaced it no big deal. The supercharger was too much torque for the stock clutch so I had to upgrade that too
I have no regear. Manuals are already much more aggressively geared than automatics. We have 4.30 rear gears and more aggressive transmission gearing too already.
You'd still want to take it to a shop with a dyno to properly tune the vehicle. The generic tunes are just that, generic. They are not specific to your engine, environment, etc.
Nah. The the stock gears are already 4.30:1 on the manuals and our 6th is significantly higher too. A manual in 6th gear at 70mph will have the same rpm as an auto with 5.29s in 6th at the same speed. 5.29 in a manual would be pretty rough lol.
I wouldn’t start with this for your first thing, but if you have a knowledgeable friend to help out I think you could do it. You will need quite a few tools though and you probably don’t have them if you are a beginner. Torx internal and external sockets, 3/8,1/2, and 1/4 drive ratchets. An air impact gun, serpentine belt tool, different socket extensions, ratcheting and normal wrenches, breaker bar, and a good quality torque wrench.
@@smookee408 You have to tune it differently with the supercharger. OVTune will not work. So, yes it will overwrite it. Magnuson has a tune that comes with the kit. As far as I know, there are no other tunes for this Supercharger other than the Magnuson Tune.
@@OpelPower Hey Opel this is what Magnusson is telling me. Would love to have your definite answer on this to clear it up. Ryan Martin (MagnusonSupercharger) Mar 15, 2021, 8:17 EDT Jeffrey, You will notice the airbox coupler will be installed on an angle. We move the location of the throttle body inlet compared to stock. Thank you, Ryan Martin
Unfortunately there are almost no dyno shops that will tune it as the tune is locked and no shops know how to use the only software that’s cracked the ecu so far. Also the stock fuel system is pretty maxed out on stock pulley.

I wonder if a lighter flywheel would help liven things up even more.
its the acumulator
Looking at one for my 09 challenger
will these superchargers help with towing the same weight as a V8 would normally tow? or is V8 still the way to go?
You can tow 6800lbs easily with a stock Tacoma with a weight distribution hitch. I tow 4000lbs weekly and I’ve towed 3000miles with 6500lbs.

It’s still doing good. I have a better tune on it now, but that’s about all!
What tune did you go with? And did you use the stock clutch?
Wait so does this require a tune? If it’s something I can genuinely do myself, I want to go out and buy it ASAP
It comes with a tune. You can DIY all of it!
You'd still want to take it to a shop with a dyno to properly tune the vehicle. The generic tunes are just that, generic. They are not specific to your engine, environment, etc.
Does reliability take a hit after installing a supercharger?
Yours only goes to 5? Mine is 7psi at 1000ft. I had to replace the nose drive on mine once. No big deal though.
Have you done the 5.29 gear swap it will help bring that truck to life
Nah. The the stock gears are already 4.30:1 on the manuals and our 6th is significantly higher too. A manual in 6th gear at 70mph will have the same rpm as an auto with 5.29s in 6th at the same speed.
5.29 in a manual would be pretty rough lol.
Would you say that a person with little to no experience could install something like this?
I wouldn’t start with this for your first thing, but if you have a knowledgeable friend to help out I think you could do it.
You will need quite a few tools though and you probably don’t have them if you are a beginner.
Torx internal and external sockets, 3/8,1/2, and 1/4 drive ratchets. An air impact gun, serpentine belt tool, different socket extensions, ratcheting and normal wrenches, breaker bar, and a good quality torque wrench.
My wife just got me this kit for Christmas. Blessed. Thanks for the tools list I happen to have all those tools and will install it myself.
Swap the pulley and cold air intake I’m sure it will be a little faster
How does it effect your MPG?
It doesn’t for normal driving. If you enjoy it and use the pedal you can make it as bad as you want.
A couple questions
1. What tune are you running?
2. What boost level is it at?
Also put that thing on a drag strip and see what it does.
1. The one that came with it
2. 7 psi
@@OpelPower thanks for the reply.
I just had the OV 87 performance 2.0 tune and love it. Will the Magnuson tune overwrite it?
@@smookee408 You have to tune it differently with the supercharger. OVTune will not work. So, yes it will overwrite it. Magnuson has a tune that comes with the kit. As far as I know, there are no other tunes for this Supercharger other than the Magnuson Tune.
@@KevintheTerrible correct Magnuson current tune is V7. V8 is coming soon
How’s the gas mileage
It sounds like this is a Manual trans Tacoma....
so would it not be worth it on an Automatic?????
Let us viewers know. Thanks
It is a manual. It should be equally as nice on an auto
The manuals pull a little harder because the gearing is a little lower than the automatic
This is the best
So just wondering 💭 how’s the MPG with the supercharger???
Same as stock
What's the max speed you could go know?
It’s still electronically limited to 113mph.
Oh damn that sucks. I bet it could go alot faster. Nice taco man and keep us updated lol
@@OpelPower mine is 69mph.
@@OpelPower any way to del the speed limitation?
How did you manage to get TRD intake in there?
No modifications were necessary
@@OpelPower sorry forgot to ask what is the part# of that intake?
@@OpelPower
Hey Opel this is what Magnusson is telling me. Would love to have your definite answer on this to clear it up.

Jeffrey,
You will notice the airbox coupler will be installed on an angle. We move the location of the throttle body inlet compared to stock.
Thank you,
Ryan Martin
It will fit with no modifications but it is tight.
@@OpelPower Thank you!
I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet on this kit for my 19' TRD Offroad.
As if wet traction on MTRs needed to be any worse :^)
stock clutch?
Yes
Such a sweet mod, but so expensive XD
Put a smaller pulley on the charger, get it dyno tuned. Game changer
Unfortunately there are almost no dyno shops that will tune it as the tune is locked and no shops know how to use the only software that’s cracked the ecu so far.
Also the stock fuel system is pretty maxed out on stock pulley.
Did it improved your gas mileage
Same if you drive without going into boost. Worse if you go into boost.
Will this supercharge pass smog check in California?
Yes I think so. Ask Magnuson
Phenomenal!!! License loser, worth every penny, nasty fast
Sweet truck brotha! Whats the 0-60?
The 0-60 is yes..
