Is the engine capable of a turbo application with say just some stronger rods and turbo pistons. The block is iron so it should be able to handle it. Just kinda curious as I'm wanting to get some decent horsepower gains out of my Tundra.
I am not sure about temps, since I have not measured them.damn 9psi on a blower? that's nuts! what are your IA temps like?
Here's something to give you an idea.I am not sure about temps, since I have not measured them.

I've seen it listed somewhere as $4999.... Maybe on one of their youtube vids.... And honestly it looks like they use a no name brand turbo, I would stay away. You are better off piecing a kit together by yourself.Anyone know about how much the Tundracharger costs? The universal STS setup is about $3,000...
gonna need to drop the compression too here. 10:1 is a little high for a turbo setup. It would still leave you with 12psi max...or there abouts. Drop the compression down to 8:1 or 9:1 and you could get more.But with H-Beam rods and low compression pistons with some stronger headbolts you could easily get more than 5 psi and way more than 100rwhp.

Read and enjoy.So who has pushed the limits of the stock internals? It would be a fun experiment to see what the 2UZ would take. The supporting mods would be the biggest factor, namely proper tuning and knock control. I bet it would be a hoot to make a drag truck out of a standard cab long bed strippy 2wd truck. I am still too new here to know if anybody has gone far on a stock motor, but the factory design looks like a good building block for a nasty turbo motor.
From I being told that our motors can't go over 400 flywheel hp (and about 450 lbs of torque) on stock internals. Anything more then that, you have to build motor to your application.So who has pushed the limits of the stock internals? It would be a fun experiment to see what the 2UZ would take.

No... no... no... the rods/pistons are good for up to 500 HP runnin on the ragged edge. Any thing over that and upwards to 550 hp and the rods snap, pistons explode, and all pieces grenade through the side of the block.From I being told that our motors can't go over 400 flywheel hp (and about 450 lbs of torque) on stock internals.
