  • Tough Tacoma: Scott Bryan’s Magnuson Supercharged Toyota Tacoma

    Tough Tacoma: Scott Bryan’s Magnuson Supercharged Toyota Tacoma

    When you think of common mods for Toyota Tacomas nowadays, you think suspension, bumpers, bed racks, etc.

    But Scott had a better idea…boost!

     

    Scott came to us with a simple goal, to pick up the pace in this 2019 Toyota Tacoma and get the V6 boosted with the help of a supercharger. Luckily, we knew how to make it happen. 

     

    With Scott’s Tacoma in the garage and our amazing team under the hood, we got to work on forcing some induction on the 3.5L. Magnuson’s TVS1900 System is a great option for boosting the third generation Tacoma, really due to the unit’s thermal efficiency, resulting in reliable and considerable gains on the rollers. 

     

    The parts of the kit itself were beautiful and of course the great quality that Magnuson always delivers. There are few things more appealing than freshly machined aluminum in our eyes. 

     

     

    After getting the motor buttoned up and filled with Mobil 1, our team at the Wilmington shop and calibrator Vlad got Scott’s Tacoma on the rollers and set for tuning.

     

    Achieving what he had sought out for, Scott’s Tacoma put down 310whp and 290lbft of torque, nearly 100hp and 50lbft in gains!

     

     

    With goals met and the Tacoma ready to go, we can’t wait to see what Scott does with it! Let us know if your Tacoma needs a similar boost.

     

    For a closer look at this build, take a look at the gallery below.

  • Renaissance Red 2020 Toyota GR Supra – EcuTek Tuned

    Renaissance Red 2020 Toyota GR Supra – EcuTek Tuned

    Not long ago, BMW/Toyota pushed an updated flash to all A90 Supras which locked the ECU from OBDII port tuning. In response, we got to work on finding a solution, and we are now happy to offer in-house ECU unlocking services for A90 Supras!

    And after owning his Renaissance Red 2020 Toyota GR Supra for several months, Mark got the itch for more performance, and decided to bring his A90 in for the first round of modifications, and be our first ECU unlock customer!

    Up first, John strapped her down for baseline dyno runs, coming in at 344.92whp & 388.35lbft. From there, TJ pulled the ECU for shipping to HQ for Vlad to perform the bench ECU unlock, and then got busy installing the down-pipe from Extreme Turbo Systems connecting to a beautiful titanium exhaust system from Akrapovic Exhaust System, topped off with an upgraded 3-row heat exchanger from FLUIDYNE High Performance to keep the IATs in better check, especially during these hot summer months.

    After overnight ECU unlock turnaround and the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, John strapped her back down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom dyno calibration via EcuTek Technologies Ltd. Even fighting octane limitations with Wawa 92 octane in the tank, Vlad was still able to increase the B58’s output to 418.62whp & 497.30lbft — a gain of 74.70whp & 108.95lbft! We typically see 440-450whp & 530-540lbft with this combination, so we look forward to retesting once Mark has some better fuel in the tank.

  • 2018 Toyota 4Runner – Magnuson Supercharged

    2018 Toyota 4Runner – Magnuson Supercharged

    While the 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner is a capable and well-rounded vehicle both on and off road, most who have driven one probably land on a similar conclusion: it could use some help in the power department. You know what solves that problem? BOOST!

    And that’s exactly what Robert brought us his 2018 Toyota 4Runner to have done! Up first, Matt strapped her down for pre-work dyno pulls to establish our starting point, coming in at 230.40awhp & 245.70lbft. Next, John set the 1GR-FE up with a TVS 1320 supercharger system from Magnuson Superchargers, which as always, looks like it came equipped from the factory.

    From there, Matt strapped her back down to the rollers to get the post-work numbers. The result? 311.10awhp & 300.44lbft, a gain of 80.70awhp & 54.74lbft over stock! Needless to say, that’s a difference that’ll definitely show up when Robert hits the skinny pedal.

    Downshift Blue 2020 Toyota GR Supra – EcuTek Tuned

    Kevin brought us his Downshift Blue 2020 Toyota GR Supra to get it sitting right and to get the B58 woken up!

    Up first, Matt strapped her down for pre-work dyno pulls to establish our stock baseline, coming in at 337.79whp & 400.56lbft. Then in the shop, to allow the turbocharger to breathe more easily and also free up a bit more of the B58’s exhaust note, Alex installed a down-pipe from Extreme Turbo Systems connecting to the OEM exhaust system, and then to get the A90 handling better and sitting right with the forged HRE Performance Wheels P101 wheels, installed a set of V3 coilovers from KW suspensions.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her back down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via EcuTek Technologies Ltd. With 93 octane in the tank, and 98° F ambient air temperature in the dyno room, Vlad was able to increase the B58’s output to 444.77whp & 528.79lbft, holding 21psi to redline — a gain of 106.98whp & 128.23lbft over stock! Killer result for this gorgeous A90!

  • 1994 Toyota Supra – Turbo Upgrade

    1994 Toyota Supra – Turbo Upgrade

    All the way from New York, Chris brought us his Renaissance Red 1994 Toyota Supra for some attention!

    Up first in the shop, Louis installed an AEM Performance Electronics Infinity 506 including a 70mm drive-by-wire throttle body & pedal assembly conversion designed by Vlad, AEM IAT, 3.5bar MAP sensor, 150psig oil pressure sensor, 100psig fuel pressure sensor, 3-port electronic boost control solenoid, Bosch 4.2LSU UEGO oxygen sensor, ethanol content sensor to enable Flex Fuel, along with an Infinity integrated 3.5″ touch screen gauge from BTI Gauges for data acquisition as well as 4-position boost control.

    From there, he moved on to installing the dual Walbro 450lph in-tank fuel pumps utilizing components from Powerhouse Racing along with some updates to the setup & wiring (for AEM Infinity to control second fuel pump activation), ID1300X fuel injectors from Injector Dynamics, all topped off with a new 6766 turbocharger from Precision Turbo & Engine, fitted with some custom fabrication to the compressor cover outlet.

    With the work wrapped in the shop, John strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom Flex Fuel calibration, complete with fuel pressure, MAP sensor, and oil pressure fail safes enabled. With the PTE6766 delivering 18psi and 93 octane in the tank, Vlad increased output to 626.13whp & 547.12lbft — solid pump gas performance! Then, with E85 in the tank, Vlad increased output to 773.11whp & 664.01lbft at 27psi! While there is plenty more in this setup, we reached our torque comfort level for a stock 2JZ-GTE bottom end, so we decided to cap it there.

    See dyno video below.

  • 2017 Toyota GT86 – Turbocharged

    2017 Toyota GT86 – Turbocharged

    Aulstyn brought us his 2017 Toyota GT86 to get it performing like it should have from the factory: with a little boost! Up first, Alex set up the 4U-GSE engine with a turbocharger system from GReddy Performance Products – GPP featuring a T518Z turbocharger, DeatschWerks DW65C fuel pump, along with the miscellaneous OEM odds-and-ends to bring it together.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform custom calibration via EcuTek Technologies Ltd. The result? With the T518Z delivering 7psi, Vlad increased the boosted 4U-GSE’s output to 265.88whp & 214.90lbft on 93 octane! This output level totally wakes these cars up, and again, is exactly how all GT86 variants should have come from the factory.
