4wd does have more parasitic loss than 2wd. I was comparing my 4wd SC run to a 4wd Stock run I did from this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7BgfM6Y1627pWw.htmlsi=wvFa-lJEioyxzUtR Stock crank hp is 270 and Stock wheel hp is 198 - a 27% loss in power. So if you apply that same wheel hp loss to the SC run, then 261 wheel hp would be approximately 357 theoretical crank supercharged hp. Theoretical 357 crank SC hp - 270 stock crank hp = 87 hp gain at the crank. Compared to the dynoed 63hp actual gain at the wheels. The problem is Magnuson claims 335hp at the crank which is a 24% increase in power over stock crank hp. And then in the same description they say 30% increase. None of the Magunson claimed numbers make sense to me. After my testing, The real world hp gains that I got on my 4runner are somewhere between 63hp (actual wheel) and 87hp (theoretical crank).

@@DBCoffroad got it. The Magnuson website says, “this system delivers 30% MORE HORSEPOWER than stock and with an additional 28% MORE TORQUE output at just 6psi of boost. That's more than 335hp and 345lb-ft at the crank!” 30% more hp from 270hp is 351hp so their statement that it’s “more than 335hp” is still correct. It’s a strange way to put it but it’s accurate. Maybe they’re trying to point out that worse case is still more than 335hp. I’m guessing there are a lot of factors that can change the % number depending on exactly how you measure. You did a good apples to apples comparison so your data seems solid and being on the low end of the power increase can be bit of a bummer after spending a lot of money hoping to get more. My first impression on my truck, no data or actual testing done, is that on the low end it’s slightly better. Above 3500-4000rpm it’s actually quite a bit stronger. Climbing a steep grade with a fully loaded truck is night and day. It’s by no means a fast truck and just driving around town it’s only a little better but up a grade or passing at highway speed it’s actually a pretty big improvement. I’d spend the money again now that I’ve experienced it. Thanks for your video!

Hey thanks for watching! Glad I could help

You’re my number 1 fan. 🤘🏻

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

Yea it’s a little pricey per HP. The 4Runner is better with it though. I wish the hood scoop was functional. Then it would be even better! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome you enjoy it! Now that I've had it a bit longer I'm glad I purchased it. Where did you dyno it at? Any mods on tires or gearing before the dyno?

Yea. It's just expensive for that 31.5%. It does feel better. The transmission now is the weak point. Still wants to shift up and down on higher altitude climbs.

Came here to say this.

Add more boost than 6psi, add custom tune, add intake system (a real one), add TBS, add a larger diameter exhaust, add long tube headers, and down size the tires to 34's. You should definitely feel the "great" you were looking for. It's a great looking 4runner by the way.

Thanks for watching! Yea I don’t get it either.

Hey thanks for watching and the feedback!

Maybe I’ll have to get intake and exhaust then. 🤔

Hey thanks for the feedback! My favorite mods were probably Rock Sliders, Larger tires, Regearing and Onboard Air. - I've hit the rock sliders several times without even trying. I think they are more important than under body skids, just because you can usually pick a line to avoid scraping underneath. - I think the 4Runner is undergeared from the factory especially if you go up in tire size, even to a 33". - Larger more aggressive tires for better traction and durability when you go adventure. (I'd stick with 33 or 34" if I did it over again.) - Onboard air compressor to air back up if you air down on the trails. Having it mounted and wired with a switch is very convenient. Most of the other Mods I would do something different, or try to find a lighter version (front bumper, winch, skids, rear bumper, etc.) Oh and if you just want to light money on fire, the Supercharger was a good choice. 😂

The very first mod I do on any vehicle is a catalytic converter shield, the one I got for for my 2021 trd offroad added alot of protection on the driveline on top of covering the converters, one of the toyota techs was telling me about a tacoma they had in the shop that had all 4 converters cut off and it was going to cost almost $5,000 in just part's. Converter theft is bad in and around the city here.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! I'm curious to see how the Pedal Monster/Commander will help with the supercharger. How do you like it?

@@DBCoffroad Pedal monster doing a huge improvement on quick acceleration, transmission shift point ,No more death pedal .

@@cesar1981f good to know. thanks for the info!

Both runs were with Premium. The supercharger also has to have premium at minimum.

Totally agree - the goal was OEM Reliability. I'm not so much interested in pushing past the Reliability of the Toyota engine. My main gripe is the High cost of the SC while maintaining the Reliability. It doesn't quite add up to me. Thanks for the feedback!

@@DBCoffroad Magnuson is the OEM

Yes most people do not know that magnuson was the entity making this for toyota in the first place, and they happily handed this off to magunuson when they discontinued factory production.@@no55ah

Hey! Glad you like your supercharger. I get around 12mpg average with the 35s and 4.88 gears. So you have a custom tune with the supercharger? I'm curious how you napkin math to 415 crank hp. Magnuson claims 335hp at the crank. AFE makes an intake where they claim it adds 24 hp. Exhaust is 5-10hp on a good day. So even high numbers are 369hp. Is your tune making up the difference to 415? (46 additional hp?) That's pretty impressive! Transmission: I haven't heard of a torque limiter, but that makes sense. The transmission constantly wants to upshift even though it might be pulling strong in 2nd or 3rd gear. I really want a tune for the transmission to make sure all the supercharger power is on tap. To me it's like a body builder that skipped leg day. More power, but it doesn't seem all useable. Now that I've had it for a while, the biggest benefit seems to be at higher speeds. Like passing on the highway, that's when I really notice a difference in power. Thanks for reaching out!

Hey, No custom tune outside of what Magnuson provides for install. I picked the weekend warrior tune, no idea on the real difference between the three they offer. Still looking for a shop I can trust nearby that actually works on 5th gens to get a pro tune. Also I am on 33s - Yoko Geos, no gear swap yet. So diff ratio's than you for sure. I am estimating higher gains to the SC due to the CAI increased airflow (~40% advertised increase airflow) really lets the SC get all the air it wants. I am betting the SC is pulling closer to a 90 hp gain, likely more. They claim 30% on a good day, which is higher then the 335 they advertise. 30% gain on the stock 270hp is 81 hp. So call it 90hp. I was told the exhaust adds closer to ~25 hp (stock is very restrictive). CAI adds up to ~35 hp (as advertised) Easily the #1 performance upgrade for you folks out there on the fence. S&B CAI check them out, it's worth it. Paired with a pedal commander, it REALLY wakes that engine up and the intake sound is badass. Sooo.. that gets me in the 145 hp over stock range. 270 +145 = 415hp The only clue that I am pushing over the 400 range is the throttle limiter kicking in. Which from my research is 400 ft/lb of torque. Again it only happens from dead stop pulls. Rolling starts she absolutely rips no pull back. Now, there is a possibility that I am much lower than my estimate, but the during hard 1st gear pulls the ECU/Trans is detecting a surge or spike of power and pulling the throttle back (to prevent trans damage), even if on a dyno it is realistically is in the 375 range. Shrugs, I won't really know until I get a proper dyno.. hence why I am reaching out to other 4runner bros, I had a good convo with @OverlandEngineer on the subject a few weeks back. Also I am running good 93 octane gas. Getting ready to road trip pulling about 3000 pounds of RV camper, my first tow with the SC and other mods. Just installed an aftermarket trailer brake controller as well, all plug and play. Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep you posted!@@DBCoffroad

Right on. Glad you've had such a positive experience. Do you have any additional weight with bumper/racks/etc? Thanks!

Well said...Changing gears with bigger tires is an ideal solution but even if you decide to run it all stock, Torque is the secret to calming all of the gear roaming down on these Gen5 beasts & superchargers provide that... I wonder even. if the supercharger wouldn't prolong the transmission long-term in certain stock / on road configurations cutting the shifts by half... The torque in my 4.7 V8 Gen 4 allows me to hang out in gears simply because of having torque at low RPM & low throttle input ridding the torque. I Could never pull it off in my stock 17 Off Road Plus .

"For context Ive raced ecoboost F150s and 6.2 Silverados and I pull all of em every time and the dudes are pissed they got walked by a 4 runner LOL" No you dont. F150 Ecoboosts and 6.2L Silverados are dipping into the 13's in the 1/4 mile bone stock and are making as much power at the wheels stock as your 4Runner makes at the crank with an $8000 supercharger.

I appreciate the feedback. If I am mistaken by any of the following, please let me know. I would love to learn more. My understanding: I ran the stock engine under the same conditions (4wd) in a prior video. With the stock engine, 35s, 4.88 gears and 4wd it had a 27% parasitic loss to the wheels. 270 crank hp down to 198whp. Then I supercharged the engine and ran it in the same conditions (35s, 4.88 gears and 4wd) and pulled 261hp at the wheels. 261whp-198whp = 63 whp. Magnuson advertised a 335 crank hp increase from the super charger. 335-270=65 total crank hp increase. Which is in line with the 63 hp increase at the wheels I got. Again, If I misunderstand something, please let me know. Thanks!

NEVER RUN E85 IN ANYTHING!

If your are going run any amount of E85, you really need to scale up fueling or you will cause a lean condition

I mostly agree. However, I don’t think it feels like a V8 by any means. It’s just different than I expected, especially from how other people rave about it online.

Strong V8 is a stretch. Most V8 half tons these days are up in the 300-320 whp range. Ecoboost F150's on 93 octane and the stock tune are pushing 350-360 whp. I think I saw some 5.7L Land Cruiser dynoing around 290 whp stock. This seems to put this somewhere in between 17 year old 4.6L and 5.7L Toyota V8's.

Yea I agree with you. I think it’s worth the money if you are going to keep the 4Runner for an extended period of time. Long term it can pay for itself

From what I've see online you could maybe expect 20hp and then be happy/surprised if its more than that. The supercharger is the best power adder you can get for the 5th Gen. Unfortunately its just very expensive. Any interest in waiting to buy the 2024 4Runner? I'm sure it will have the same hybrid engine as the new Tacoma. 326hp/465tq is impressive.

Thanks for watching. The behind the wheel feel is better. But the numbers are not great for the price for sure.

I agree about the larger tires. Overall having to do the Dyno in 4wd also could have effected the numbers. I kept the conditions the same for both runs so I could at least see a apples to apples gain. I wish I would have Dyno'd a stock 4Runner to really see the difference the tires and gears make. I did do a regear to 4.88s and agree it drove great with just that. I recommend regearing to EVERYONE, it is the best upgrade you can do for performance on the 4Runner in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

@@DBCoffroad Oh Yes, great point, I bet a 2wd run would push more power to the rear wheels. You def have drivetrain losses by splitting the power to both difs.

The current supercharger requires premium fuel only.

Interior sound mod?

My exact thoughts, this and the taco have larger aftermarkets than most other vehicles, but when it comes to tuning and performance very few worthy options. It seems like the best bang for your buck is OVTune at this point

Thanks for the feedback and watching! You bring up a very solid point. Just about every other engine can be modded. Like old school Supra motors, BRZ motors (even though that’s a Subaru. Now that I think about it, the New Supra is a BMW. Does Toyota have any performance of their own?) Anyway. Honda, Subaru, Ford, Chevy, BMW, or whatever all have performance mods. Weird…

I think as far as just Tuning goes it’s because Toyota encrypts their ECUs so they can’t be modded. Other companies basically hand tuners the cheat codes and let them have fun. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The magnuson SC was designed to work with stock intake and exhaust. It is definitely possible to get more out of the engine with more mods. But that wasn't the point of this video. Thanks for watching

I've seen some claims that it adds around 20hp. That's alot. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

The Magnuson is a Roots style. Which in theory pulls power from 0 RPM. The Procharger is Centrifugal. Which sort of builds boost like a turbo and ramps up over time. I've talked with people with both and it just seems like Magnuson was preferred. For a FAR BETTER explanation, watch this video. Engineering Explained is amazing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa51qM-AyLubmo0.htmlsi=YdDELI4uDfNlTPA1

Yea the discrepancy is misleading. Plus there are no actual dyno graphs for the 2020+. I feel like they are theoretical numbers and not hard tested numbers. That’s a good point. If you keep the 4Runner for 200k+ miles then I suppose it pays for itself over time with the added performance. Good to know about the pedal commander! I just ordered one and am going to test it out myself. Thanks for the feedback!

@@DBCoffroad ​ my advice on the PC, even with the supercharger installed, is to not set the PC to it's most aggressive setting. I like to keep it in the middle setting, provides improved throttle response without feeling like it's "too much"... but it's worth testing and getting a feel for what you like. Anyways great video! I have been waiting for someone to make a video on the supercharger for the 2020+ 4Rs for awhile now.

@@nolo3 Awesome! Thanks for the info!

We’ll see. I’m not sure how much the 4.0 V6 can take. It’s not like an American V8 with power to the moon.

@@DBCoffroad no but it is a bullet proof engine.

@@skoolynugenator1802 true true. It will run forever unmodified. But I like to spice things up a bit.

Magnuson specifies no mods and only to use stock intake and exhaust. If you want to use an intake and exhaust, you need a tune for that to get the most out of it. Custom tunes are expensive.

Works just fine. I have about 25,000 miles on the 4R now. I daily drive it. The only downside is 12mpg. But I think that's mostly from the weight/gears/35s.

Silver State Offroad did the install. Street 2 Sand did the dyno. 🤘🏻

Good catch. They already made the supercharger for 2010-2019 4Runners which was $5,995 Pre-Covid. Then Post-Covid, that same supercharger is now $6,995. The 2020+ models have a different ECU/programming to crack because of the new push button/safety sense features. The supercharger hard parts are the same from 2010-2023, it just requires new tune/programming for the 2020+ models. Which raised the price of the 2020+ superchargers to $7,295. If you don’t get charged tax then you score. I was just throwing out the figures that I had to pay. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions.

You can add all this with the Supercharger. A friend of mine has intake and exhaust on his. Maybe I need him to go to the Dyno. Magnuson asks questions about tire size, gears, intake and exhaust before they send you the tune to flash. I just need to reach out to them and see if the tune can be recalibrated with those add ons.

Nice, good luck and post another video when you are done. I would like to see the overall results before I dive into a 10k upgrade you know.. Thanks for the video.

@@Blackirishize For sure. Thanks for watching!

I will agree that it seems partially insane. What I found in the manual is that in order to SHIFT from 2H to 4H the speeds need to be below 50mph. I wasn’t able to find any “Top Speed” limitations in 4x4. However, if it doesn’t feel right for your 4Runner then just err on the side of caution and don’t go that fast. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching though!

Yea I think tires size and weight will make a difference. I did another video with the same setup without the SC for the comparison to try and make it apples to apples as possible. Thanks for the feedback!

I made a couple videos. I still have to film the supercharger tow video. The weather in Reno has been snow and cold for so long. On 33s no gears. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hst-ZLdq2bfcl58.html On 35s with 4.88 gears. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLRkjaikmqurlYE.html

I have not yet. I've considered it. I just want to keep the reliability as high as possible.

I completely agree with you. At least the new 2025 has an upgrade to the transmission. Thanks for watching!

Dang that’s a lot of miles. Which was your favorite 4Runner? Totally agree with everything you said. The engine was purpose built for reliability. I don’t fault Toyota for that. I also don’t want to crank it past the limit of reliability. Magnuson set the tune and pulley size for a reason. I don’t want to compromise the engine by trying to draw more power from it.

@@DBCoffroad Well, I loved them all... LOL! This might be long winded... The gen 3 limited was a sweety even though it was smaller than Gens 4 & 5 I still loved it... I had a 2017 Gen 5 TRD Off Road Premium which was super SWEET but not perfect... It needed supercharging which I never got to unfortunately but... I am living vicariously through you because I want another one but dont trust that I will vibe with the new inline 4 turbo coming out...Perhaps I will but not sure & if not, I will buy the last year Gen 5 Sport with all the luxuries I want & then supercharge, 35's bumper & winch & perhaps some gearing reduction or not... (To get to the original question)... I currently drive a 2005 Sport with the 4.7 V8 & its my favorite... Out of the box it was a monster & at 195k, its still a monster...It hasn't lost an ounce of pep...Love it... But... : ) that said, I believe the ultimate combo would be a gen 5 with a transplanted 4.7 V8 with mild supercharging... Toyota said that as far as reliability & durability, the 5.7 & 4.7' V8s were the toughest engines they have ever built... The straight 6 in the Land Cruiser is bullet proof but heavy & not an easy fit for 4Runners... I saw a KZfaqr that shoehorned a Supercharged 5.7 into his Gen5 but I question weight balance & handling... A version of the 4.7 is in the Lexus RCF screaming at high RPMs & its in the Tundra line as the smaller engine option hauling & pulling... Also, I know for fact that the 5.7 is a lot less gas efficient, I had 4 employees with Tundras... My V8 now still gets about 20mpg on highway & my gen 5 got about the same for how I had to put my foot in it with trans gearing... Anyway, love these trucks... Great Video...

@@Liberty-Works1111 Great stuff! I would be interested in the new turbo engine mostly because boosted engines just "feel" quicker even if they don't necessarily have more power. And hopefully better fuel economy. I still think the V8 4runners are the best. More grunt that any V6. I have seen videos of the 5.7 Tundra engine swaps into a couple 5th Gens.

They don’t recommend Intake. There are only a few that are specifically designed to work with the SC. They said exhaust is fine. And they only produce 1 tune. I’d just be worried about pushing the 4.0L past its limits if you go aftermarket with tuning. But I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@DBCoffroad I'm in Dubai. There's 2 shops here that have been tuning the 1gr-fe since it came out, for flying across the dunes.

@@DBCoffroad the super adds a lot of power, but the tune, intake & headers, exhaust + cat delete, and tune can add maybe 15hp.

I have about 3000 miles now. I don’t have any pulley noise issues. I wonder if the tensioner needs adjusting. Where did you get it installed?

@@DBCoffroad I got it installed at a Magnuson certified dealer. I didn’t buy from them, but had them install it. It’s probably the tensioner, as the belt gets cold it probably stiffens up, then loosens up when it warms up. It only makes noise on cold days then goes away when the engine bay warms up. On a warm day it doesn’t make any noise.

@@willskip2795 Have you asked the install shop what they thought?

@@DBCoffroad I haven’t had time to drop by the shop. But I did take the belt off and spin the idlers and tensioners by hand and nothing made a noise.

It is your tensioner. They shipped these kits with 2 types of Dayco tensioners. A cheap one, that makes noise at colder temps and a much stouter one.

Yea. There's a lot of other parts you can buy with the SC money.

It was 63whp. So it’s more like 85-86 at the crank. And yea, it’s definitely not for everyone. 🔥💵

Oh for sure.

Interesting philosophy. What else is that good?

Thanks for watching!

That seems waaay to high. Where was that at?

@@DBCoffroad One of the only authorized shops in Mich.

@@nikolasbbq I just had an Offroad shop that I trust do the install. They weren’t an authorized dealer. From what I understand, Magnuson will still warranty the SC if it was properly installed following the manual.

Thanks, good to know.

Do it!

@@DBCoffroad wanna order than Magnuson and then get a good tune. I have 1000lbs out back I need the help desperately.

@@jonnytacooutdoors Tacoma Beast supercharged his. He seemed to really like it. Ever check out that video?

@@DBCoffroad I’ve watched them, you think any issues with transmission long term? I think I got do the SC to get my power back. Tacoma beast said it brought his back I totally believe it. I’m not looking to make it a race car.

@@jonnytacooutdoors I think as long as you watch the temps for the transmission. I had to get a Scan Gauge for mine and found out the transmission ran hot on longer hill climbs on and offroad. I'll probably add an external transmission cooler. But otherwise it should be good. Like you said, it mostly brings the power back. It is much better on the highway if you have to pass cars though. It will get up and move.

Haha. Did you do it too?

@@DBCoffroad i actually have 😂😂😂

@@osvaldo7615 good for you! 🤘🏻

@@DBCoffroad sounds like you are bitter about it 😅 just sell it learn your lesson ☹️

@@osvaldo7615 haha no. I’m just happy to see someone else making poor financial decisions. Love the power it added. Just not the price.

Have you seen one before? RSG Offroad Tundra 5.7L V8 Swapped their 4runner. It costs way too much.

@@DBCoffroad doesn’t the Lexus one run 4.7 v8 they share the same chassis

@@godzuke9856 Correct in the GX470. The GX460 also had a V8. I just haven't seen a Toyota V8 swap that wasn't totally custom and expensive. They are not like the aftermarket supported LS Swaps. It would be more cost effective to just find a used GX or V8 4th Gen 4Runner. But even then, the HP/TQ are less than the Supercharged 4.0 V6. just depends on what you want to spend money on. Lifestyle Overland did a really good comparison video between their 4Runner and GX460 if you are interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtqIg8ed36jRZYU.htmlsi=83vrBVM5V0cLBiX-

@@DBCoffroad has anyone done a turbo option, I seen a company in Texas who dos a diesel swap tacomas using a prado engine

Thanks for watching! This is just a real world example of what the reality of supercharging an already heavily modded 4Runner looks like. So in that case, it’s very accurate. I made a previous video showing the Dyno on a stock engine with all the same mods. And then did the exact same circumstances (minus outside temp) for the supercharged engine. It’s as apples to apples as you can get for an already modified 4Runner. The main point that I wanted to get across is that the supercharger is expensive for what you get.

I think its mostly wind noise to make you sound faster. Haha

You mad bruh!?

Yup….. yikes

Why do you say that? It’s regeared with 4.88s
