Well, I finally made time today to get this thing on the truck. I've had all the parts for over a month now, but I've been too busy to touch it.

Besides a couple of the bolts being a little hard to get to, it's a very simple swap. I took a bunch of pics to post up here, there's a pretty big difference between the stock stuff and the new stuff. I'll get the tune dialed in over the next few nights(after work) or this coming weekend, time permitting. Then I'll take it to the track!!

If anybody has questions, ask away. On to the pics!

Looks good Roger!

Damn that new tube looks huge compared to the old one.

Intake piping looks great!!

Nice TB, It didnt come with new sensors?

What gains do you think it will make?

I got the 92mm used(barely) on another forum. The price was VERY good, and it did not come with new sensors. Under my hood is usually grubby anways, as I live at the end of a gravel road, so it doesn't bother me.

No MAF, speed density tuned.

That black piping is painted 4" exhaust pipe leftover from my D-Max AFE kit.

Just to compare, this is the stock Magnacharger air tube.

So you didn't have to remove the blower to do the 90mm J-tube swap? I've read some say you do but most say you don't. Any before/after dyno runs or SOTP impressions?

I have a before dyno, but no after. I'll see if the budget allows an "after" dyno pull after I get it tuned. If I do it, I'll make a thread. As for SOTP, it's not tuned yet, so the only driving it's gotten was babying it around.....

It was easy to swap the J-tube while the blower was installed. The vacuum hoses at the firewall were a little hard to reach, and the 2 bottom bolts were removed/installed using the braile system, but there was plenty of room to break them loose with a 3/8" ratchet & extension. Then I used a small 1/4" ratchet to do the rest. Cleaned up the old anaroebic sealer from the back of the blower with a razor blade window scraper & mirror, then put it back together, and final torqued the bolts with a 3/8" ratchet. I had to remove the transmission dipstick from the tube, and slide the heater hoses to the other side of the tranny dipstick tube to snake the j-tube out & back in.

It took me longer to build (cut & paint tubing) the air inlet than it did swapping the j-tube.

Hope this helps!
