Sweet, excellent photos.

Is the intake manifold on those engines actually plastic--or you think that one was just made that way and cut for the display like the clear valve cover? My roommate just commented on a lot of them being plastic now-days.

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.

Ok sweet....

That block looks like it can handle some boost.

 

[Jake Breyck]

it looks like some day someone is gunna be makeing block guards for those motors. Open deck. also it almost looks like it could be a G head.

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

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...

Nice big engine but I would really like to see what those weak arse rods look like..

Did you mean stock 1ZZ boosted up to 600WHP ??

 

[Thermactor]

i like the stock exhaust manifold design

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 did have darton sleeves and aftermarket pistons & rods. I've seen over 500 on Mahle pistons totally stock sleeves and stock rods.

Ooo shiny! Interesting to see floating sleeves, im sure they offer better cooling. Great photos!! I cant wait to have a 5.7 Tundra of my own

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.

Does anyone have the factory stats for this 5.7L motor?

Exactly how much horsepower and torque, etc....Curious as to what this motor can do with the stock Tundra restrictive exhaust...

 

[Tacoma_Kyle]

Do you really think the exhaust is that restrictive?

I wouldn't be too surprised that you probably wouldnt get much, if any gain at all by modifying the exhaust. Ok a different muffler may open it a little but thats probably it. Chances are if you gain in one region you are losing in another with these bolt on things.

My point is, if Toyota can gain 5 hp over the entire powerband by smoothening one bend, why wouldn't they as long as it didn't cause any problems? Thats what it is about now in 1/2 ton trucks.

 

[jibbby]

Stock exhaust is always restrictive on factory trucks... I would venture to guess with aftermarket headers, delete the cats, straighten out the exhaust piping and then throw on some high flow muffers I am sure you would gain way more then 5hp....

Tundra is not a sportscar to begin with so I am sure the factory exhaust is restrictive...

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