381 HP 401 ft. lbs of torque in stock trim in the Tundra.

I have an aquamist 2C system for my Alltrac. Works very well.

Oh - I forgot to mention that intercooler setup is usually also somewhat at fault for turbo lag - if you have a very short path for air (compressor - W2A IC - intake) with short piping lengths throttle response and lag will be significantly less than with a long piping path to a front mounted...

Rear mounting a turbo is inherently inneficient, but if you only want a small power gain its pretty easy to do and will work to an extent. As Lex said your oiling system would be your main challenge. I never reccomend rear mounted turbos though - you loose too much energy through the length...

Jibby, the answer is still that it simply depends how you size the turbos. Take a fairly small single turbo - GT30R for instance - a nice 400 WHP turbo. Put it on a 1.8L and its a bit laggy with a huge sudden gain on the top end. Put it on a 4.0L 1UZ and lag will be close to non-existant...

Man, I havent seen a car running straight LPG for years. There are conversion kits you can buy. Basically you need a BIG storage tank, a pressure regulation device of some kind, a delivery / metering device and probably hotter plugs and a re-tune. You can also run higher compression with LPG...

I have already corrected you and told you you were wrong numerous times. ANYONE that knows how to drive would not be foolish enough to launch at idle speeds in a turbo car. My altrac is a 2.0 liter with a manual trans. I launch under 10 PSI of boost atr 5500 RPM. Thats 10 PSI before I ever leave...

Yeah - the cooling was actually too good - they have a plastic liner in the bottom of the coolant jacket thats a coupel inches tall to keep the bottom of the jugs a bit warmer.

I had a 98 4Runner and a 99 4 Runner and I liked both just fine. Did a lot of towing with them (4500 pounds boat & trailer) The cruiser is nice but pricey to maintain compared to the 4Runner. They eat brakes pretty regularly and are a pain to work on.

Highest I've seen on a 1ZZ block is like 500 somethign to the wheels but stock rods and pistons are not good for anywhere near that - the rods collapse at like 250 to the tire. The 2ZZ on the other hand is a different story. 666 whp is the highest I've seen on one. still no block guard but it...

On a side note - I have a Handy excel sheet that has all the turbo sizing formulas embedded in it that I made. If you know VE, intake temp, AF ratio, displacement, engine speed and BSFC you can easily calculate where in the efficiency map your engine will run.

One of the many funny things about your argument is I just got an e-mail from a buddy with a lightly modified Supra TT (still on stock turbos) that ran a 1.52 60 foot and 7.02 second 1/8th mile last night. Superchargers have no significant advantage off the line over turbos. You want proof -...

I dunno - we're not having any issues with them in the 1.8L ZZ series motors even at over 600 to the tire... And thats just a 1.8L this is a 5.7... :D

Yup - the block looks strong. The only things I would really question would be the rods over 600/700 HP or so and the piston ring lands if you have a bad detonation event

Really? Lets see some time slips. I want to see this amazing 60 foot you must have.

Its a reinforced resin but yeah - its plastic - that is a stock intake that has been cut. Almost all the intake manifolds are plastic now. I think Prius may be the last metal one left.

Plus look at production turbo cars - Nissan GTR - 0-60 in 3.8 second. Porsche 911 turbo 0-60 in 3.9ish seconds. Those are not numbers that indicate any kind of lag or sluggishness off the line.

If you aren't launching close to your peak powerband then you probably aren't getting out of the hole as fast as you could. If you are wearing your clutch then you need a better clutch. The issue with turbo cars is its easy to make twice or three times the factory designed power, and you...

If the 4A-GE bolts fit then the stock bolts from a 2ZZ-GE should work.

Clutch abuse is a silly argument. If you are drag racing seriously you arE abusing the clutch no matter what power adder you use. It is the clutchs JOB to slip to allow engine speed and vehicle speed to come to terms with eachother.
