    2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road – Magnuson TVS1320 Supercharger

     
    Qaise’s 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road came to us as a solid street & trail rig, equipped with Icon Vehicle Dynamics suspension, rock sliders, 285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W E-load tires, and other high-quality components. But it was missing one big thing: MORE POWER! And that’s exactly what our Stage-1 supercharger package brings to the underwhelming 4.0L 1GR-FE, featuring the Magnuson Superchargers Roller Rocker TVS1320 supercharger system.
     

    With the mechanical work wrapped up in the shop by Mike, John strapped her down to the rollers for post-work dyno pulls. With the Magnuson TVS1320 delivering ~6psi, output was increased to a nice square 306.15whp & 305.60lbft — a gain of 70whp & 45lbft at peak over the baseline of 236.92whp & 251.28lbft, with over 70lbft picked up in the mid range! That’ll definitely give Qaise’s 4Runner more usable performance for both the daily commute and the weekend trail runs.

     
     
     
     
     
     

  • 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.
