Believe it or not for the past two weeks there were two 3UZFE with supercharger blew the motor. They both were running Procharger C2 and ran about 6 psi. I am not sure if these two owners got the SC system from the same company, they both blew their motors.
From my personal experience the 3uzfe rods are weaker then 1uzfe and Lexus are known to have weak ring lands. I just couldnt believe it with only 6 psi it can do so much damage. Both systems were factory tunned before shipping.
Why did those pistons failed? Very interesting question nevertheless. I would expect at least 11 psi or so that 3uzfe can handle.
