its also rediculously huge. 8L+, and it weighs well over 500 lbs, even though its aluminum.

it shouldnt be a problem if its a mechanical pump. which most are. extra oil shouldnt mean anything, because oil pumps are made for pressure, not volume.

why didnt you guys use the stock transmission?

some water/meth injections make use of boost dependant controllers. they turn on at a certain boost level, say 10 PSI. with a turbo this might not be such a problem, but with a roots or a screw SC, you might be in boost for longer periods than you would with a turbo. so you might run out of...

if you did do head and cam work, you might be able to get away with using a M90. the same boost level with more airflow will yield more HP. 450bhp might be pushing the stock pistons and rods a bit too much.

thats a very ugly engine cover.

last time i checked Top Gear is a British show. filmed in the UK, with Brit hosts, and a Brit audience.

there is a new Supra or the equivalent replacement in developement.

the runner length and such still apply, but its just less relevant when you have a roots blower, as they naturally make gobs of torque from very low RPMs. also, there is just no room under a Lexus hood to put a long runner roots manifold, so a short one is needed.

doesnt really need any intake runner length, on account of the style of SC. the roots will give instant torque, so it doesnt need long runners. but i do recall seeing very short runners, maybe 1" or so.

im not pretending to know all this stuff, even though its easy to understand, but im pretty sure turbo size, spool time, and whether there are one or two has much less to do with 0-? acceleration. like ive seen said before, tires, transmission, gearing etc has much more affect on launch speed...

rise? what do you mean?

i saw that episode. i it looked like a Chrysler or and Oldsmobile. im not sure though, because i was only paying attention to the car when it blew up.

you are like God Toysrme, what you should just said should be in an article.

thats a beautiful engine and all, but doesnt the IS300 come with a 2JZ?

whats a 5V-EU? is it a V6?

there is a Tundra Turbo page in the tech articles, but im not sure if the guy who built it used the stock trans or a manual conversion.

i imagine you could. do some research in the tech articles section of the site. you can reach it from the main page. i think there are some exhaust articles on there by Lex or others.

chassis dynos are read in a gear that is 1:1 i think, so there is no torque multiplication (this is speculation).

it might, but i think it would affect the powerband itself more than the actual numbers.
