Does it still work with a Pedal Commander? :/ Also, you should really do the "stock vs. modified" race again! MPG Update?

FISH Tacoma it will, but at this point you would not want it. You would be able to tune the truck to how you want it.

[@dwanewilson1509]

I had this installed, and it is AMAZING! It was an expense that I am happy with beyond my expectations. I want to point out that the total cost in 2023 after installation was 11k. I am getting improved mpg because of the added horsepower. In addition, I have the following aftermarket items installed: K&N Series 77 High Flow Performance Cold-Air Intake FLOWMASTER FLOWFX DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM Pedal Commander (Set for city + 2)

[@thejenkins7038]

So don’t get me wrong here. It’s your truck. You do you. I’m glad you’re happy with it. If it were my truck, this would probably be the last thing I’d want to do. First off it’s expensive. I see people in the comments quoting $6500-$7000 for 61 hp!? No thanks. Also, a supercharger is incredibly inefficient in the way it makes power. It robs power from the engine in order to operate. A turbo would’ve been a better option IF you feel like you have to boost your taco. Thirdly, boosting any vehicle decreases not only the reliability, but the longevity of said vehicle. The biggest pro to Toyota’s is the unmatched reliability. That is now gone. Forth, fuel economy is way worse and you have to use premium fuel. That cost adds up. If it were me, I’d stick with the re-gearing and just get a tune to maximize the performance of the stock v6. Again, it’s your truck and I’m glad you’re happy with it. Vehicles are like adult legos. We can make them our own through customization. 👍

[@jeffreycoon9634]

Congratulations!!! You won the smartest comment award! What I find completely disgusting is after 3 years it only has 3 likes and in the comments above the idiots are arguing about how reliable a supercharger is and the really stupid ones are calling it a turbo. But they are arguing with each other about how great and reliable that truck is now with the supercharger, that some are calling a turbo, compared to a $400 tune.

So you’re telling me, that $7000 will get you 61 horsepower and the supercharger noise. And OVtune, a $750 kit gets you ~40 hp with no other modifications other than a tune? Hm

[@niceguyrides]

You will get much better low end torque from a supercharger..

[@toyotafan9119]

Ovtune has nothing to do with the tuning on magsnusons supercharger. I was hoping he did but he has stated many many times in the twins thread that he only solely wants to focus on his setup first and maybe offer something later for the mag kit. Cross our fingers.

[@mannyechaluce3814]

Shortening your engine life is worth it...................

[@avanti2k]

a local did a 2nd gen sc on his. Night and day. I have one of the first "first gen" SC on my 2000. He will destroy me off the line. But after watching this You will eat a 3rd gen off the line and walk all day long and on every trail that he decides to go. That is why 2nd gens are a hot commodity here in Hawaii and go for about the same as a newer 3rd gen. Only mainlanders buying 3rd gens here when they move here LOL.

[@808Cummins]

@Larry Byrd my parents and I had the same 3.4 tacomas. Their's was stock. Mine supercharged at the dealer with 8 miles. They get 16mpg combined. I get 18mpg combined and I have a heavy foot. This is travelling the same roads everyday. They owned my Tacoma after I sold it to them and were surprised they got 21 to 22 hwy since they don't have a heavy foot like me. Sometimes they eat more fuel because we make use of that blower 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Honestly 60HP gain with a bunch of overland weight is totally worth it & especially is if you plan on keeping your truck long term // motor swaps come with their own problems. Overland vehicles need to keep their reliability.

[@teamstevensonGenEric]

Magnuson thank you so much for putting this kit together! Ran a 1998 3.4L with your kit on that... 200K 15 years later there is no other way to go for longevity and reliability! Saving my pennies to add this to the 2019.

Can't wait to see what Harrop has in-store for us next. Their supercharger sounds super interesting too 👌

[@kclamer]

I have the same thought, wait for Harrop. Magnuson went way too cautious on the power. This truck needs a new fuel pump and injection to really shine. I bet what Magnuson did pushes the stock fuel pump close to max.

[@ROFLgator1]

@@kclamer exactly! Looks like Harrop might be pushing more power. Now that you mention fuel pump, I spoke with my Toyota dealer after getting some service & apparently there is or will be a recall on some of the 2016+ Tacoma fuel pumps.

[@Clapxiomatic]

Yeah, but this is a kit for a stock engine thats meant to be as reliable as before. Of course you could put a smaller pully on and tune aggressively for E85 and increase injector size, etc and make 450 HP on the 3.5 V6 but this aint that. Its a simple kit.

[@DavidsiervodeDios777]

I installed a Magnuson SC on my 2014 FJ Cruiser and the big difference came when I added a CAI, the stock piping is no bueno, the only manufacturer that sell CAI for supercharged system is AFe but still my FJ is too heavy and it made a difference but is not bullet.

Some of you guys are looking at this setup all wrong. The supercharger with stock intake, exhaust, fuel injectors, and other stock internals is very limited with psi and power output. The more boost the more damage to the engine. For a simple bolt on on all stock parts, 60+ whp is excellent and pretty safe for the engine. If we are here is because we care about overlanding, gear, and Tacoma’s not race trucks or rice rockets.

As a Tacoma owner, this video convinced me if I want more power, trade the Tacoma in utilizing the extra 5k not spent on a supercharger to get a stock v8 truck (or ecoboost v6) that runs 87 octane and makes more power. Assuming some driveline loss you are looking at 350hp at the crank .

[@tacomabeast]

Just remember reliability, plays a big roll in this.

[@Sieran83]

@@tacomabeast I had a '12 F-150 Ecoboost and the thing was a beast taking off from the line or when towing... completely stock. However, I traded it in for my '20 Taco because after 67K miles (not bad for 8 years old) I had already been though 4 sets of spark plugs, had to drill a small hole in the bottom of the intercooler because it would near hydrolock on humid days, the two turbos were already dumping a ton of oil into the intercooler and smoke out the exhaust after sitting a day, the rear window decided to leak and soak half the headliner, the drive shaft slip yolk seizing up.... I could keep going on and on about that truck. Anyways, to your point, reliability is a huge factor. So is not having to worry about all these other little annoyances.

yeah go buy a pos ecoboost over a toyota

[@Fuzzalump]

Sorry bro but this is horrible. I saw the title of the video and was very excited, those power gains are really, really bad. You're essentially paying over $1000 per 10hp gain. I wish I had $7k to just throw away. I mean hell, it's something but this should have at least given you 100hp AT LEAST. Definitely not interested in one of these anymore.

[@DanielBorcherding]

JT tell me man, what’s going on here.... Nice

[@nbaldo003]

FYI you can get 60hp out of basic bolt ons and tune with the 2gr-fks engine. Ovtune bumps power up by 40hp. now you’re only talking 20hp difference which can easily be made up with headers and intake. A True Full bolt on and tuned 2018+ Lexus Is350 which has the EXACT same engine makes right around 350-360hp on pump gas w said mods NA.......granted it’s all high rpm gains but peak hp w the supercharger is the same?!?!? Lol My truck which has an adjusted version of Ovtunes 93 octane tune, intake, and a tundra 5.7 76mm throttle body pulls way harder than this easily! I can do standing burnouts easily in my taco. This supercharged version looks like it would be a struggle. I am guessing this is due to their lack of a proper tune because the fks engine should be close to 400hp with like 5-7 Lbs of boost on it easy especially with the high compression bottom end. This is nowhere near that. PS: Try to put a supercharger on something that isn’t an overland rig. Can we get some content from people actually chasing quarter mile times and trying to make the truck faster? Don’t tell me my broke self is the only one doing that 😂

[@truthkeeperfilms]

Don’t waste your money folks, those 2GR-FKS 3.5s in the Tacoma suffer oil starvation if you off-road it and go over 20 degrees. They have NO dry sump, no baffles, and no proper oil drainage. It’s a Camry motor in a truck. Pathetic. The 4.0 never had oil starvation issues.

In the end, it’s still a Camry engine. People get hung up on hp, but low end torque - especially for a truck - is where it’s at. I owned a 2018 manual and a 2019 auto Tacoma - I ditched them both bc the power/torque was pitiful. Down right awful. I now have a factory supercharged Tundra. It’s glorious. With how much that Tacoma weighs, you should look at a full size pickup.

I know that the taco is a smaller truck but with the gearing of the F-150 and it being 500lb lighter than other trucks even at 2 miles above sea level my 3.5 twin turbo was able to our accelerate other vehicles on the uphill even with a full payload along with having 5 people in the truck

Now that you've got the Acceleration, you may want to look at Upgrading the Deceleration. Drum brakes suck.

[@Mataco717]

Only 60 horsepower gain? And $7K+? Ngl, that’s HORRENDOUS. I’d be curious to know if you did more supporting mods like fuel injectors, fuel pump, a different and better flowing air intake, headers and complete high flow exhaust if you could get another 20-30hp with a new tune. Because for all that money, and to not get 300hp is pretty terrible.😕 You might as well swap a V8 into it like a 1UZ or 2UZ. Or even a SB350. Better sound, more supporting mods and the power/torque is there before adding forced induction. But comes the trouble of wiring it and making it work with the trans, ecu, etc. Idk. Just rambling thoughts.

[@tacomabeast]

We did see significant gains after tuning as well but it would be interesting to see how other mods affect the hp as well 🤙

[@lurkintomgaming397]

Makes me wonder if I keep my weight down and don’t have as big tires how much power my 23’ TRD OR would feel. I probably won’t go over 33 inch tires and doubt I’ll be over over 5300 pounds ever. I’m not looking for that same overland build that’s a full build. Any thoughts? Is it worth doing this to my new taco? I only have 1k miles on it and now that I have a company vehicle it really won’t gain a lot of miles. My feedback I would love

ROFL Dustin tried to save you after the dyno 14:53 by saying "the bigger weighted tires" but you still kept pushing how much your truck weighs. On the road your truck has to push it's own weight, on the dyno your truck is pushing the rollers (and they don't care how heavy your truck is.) The weight hurts your acceleration, not horsepower. Otherwise you've definitely earned the Tacoma"Beast" That is one amazing taco!

[@nampam3945]

214 hp pushing 7000 pound truck? 350 hp sounds more reasonable for such weight. With that awesome liquid intercooler boost can be much higher than 6 psi. Change the pulley!

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

And this is why you get a Z71 Suburban or Tahoe from the start. Better payload and power from the start, because everyone wants big tires and all the bells and whistles.

$6,500 for a supercharger that increases 60+hp? Wouldn't a stage 2/3 ECU flash, 15-20% throttle choke increase, and just a simple K&N Engineering Air Filter get you there for like $1,000? Hell even hotter spark plugs with a quick flash can get you at least 5-7hp... i just feel like there's better ways to increase HP with minimizing engine deterioration and killing your bank account. :/

Really no need for the 90s guitar riff racket in background. Good install vid other than that nerve racking mood setter music

[@tacomabeast]

😂

[@NiftyShifty1]

Super charged, re-geared, chopped, new springs, struts, and more. Is this even a Tacoma at this point?

[@BrendanMiranda]

Driveway Ornament

[@francohernandez13]

i wanna add a k n air filter , and a supercharge on my brothers truck

[@roughpatchroad]

Will most definitely be purchasing a Maggy supercharger for my Taco!

[@dentmastersofnymichael3316]

Magnuson made the TRD supercharger kit made a few years ago. What they didn’t tell you is that it needs to be installed by a qualified installer or you void the warranty. Lots of money but a very high quality kit

[@360VRStudios]

$$$$ not worth it,

[@withinward]

Surprised they didn't go over the mapping of the tune.

[@iggi70]

Taco is a Taco, it can only handle so much power. Why not just get a vehicle with better power to start with? I love Taco's, but I'm looking into a 2020 GX460.

[@bobbycin]

How has your truck been holding up since your put on the supercharger ? Is the reliability still there?

[@tacomabeast]

We’re impressed with how reliable the truck stands currently 🤙

[@zachburke1]

LMAO!! that little amount of HP!! Better off with the OV tuned Twin turbo kit!!

[@TSlimboi]

That SC is very nice with all that weight you'll need every hp. Speaking of weights are you planning on putting a big brake kit for the Tacoma.

[@tacomabeast]

Yeap, will make a video on that once it happens

[@michaelward5719]

Seems like it would be more cost effective to turbo the taco. I have a 2017 Pro and it is such a DOG on the street. The constant shift from the trans is driving me crazy with the CO altitude.

[@drakeanton2000]

That was so disappointing

[@scott1564]

@EV As a former Taco owner, I'm SURE you're correct. However, the question is, is the cost worth the very menial upgrade in performance? I think I speak for most in saying hell no. Toyota needs to produce a Taco engine that is near 300 HP with sufficient torque. GM can; why can't Toyota? They just need to cut to the chase and put the 4.6 as an option to the Taco.

[@gregc6661]

Toyota needs to offer the 3.0 D4D engine here in the US.

[@scott1564]

@EV I've driven it. I don't know that I'd call it a dog. In a Tundra it doesn't match the 5.7, of course (not even close, I guess), and you really wouldn't want to get it in the Tundra because the gas mileage differential isn't great enough to justify the loss of power. However, with the Tacoma weighing significantly less than the Tundra, the 4.6 could be the engine that makes this thing a decent highway vehicle and something that makes pulling something at higher speeds suck less. As you said, neither the SC or the 4.6 is going to turn the Tacoma into a rocket, but that isn't really the point. As you know, the V8 makes all the difference in the world over a V6 when passing from 60-80 on the highway. THAT was THE reason I got rid of my Taco -- though I think I may be in the market for another one as highway driving will not be as big an issue for me anymore (and i may just get an older Lexus sedan as a third car).

[@taylorhickman84]

6700 pounds!?!? Me thinks a Tundra would be better suited for this kind of build.

[@spartan8390]

I'd be interested in seeing a re-gear vs SC. Price comparisons, performance, a race, maintainence costs, etc.

[@Lcirilo10]

Us Americans say how’s it going to each other without answering the question of how it’s going 😂😂😂 I do it all the time 😂

[@DeBerti]

So sick brotha lets build a taco...

[@redline870]

6700lbs?! How far over the GVWR is that? Isn’t that dangerous?

[@benibarra4808]

Lol
