Just throwing that out to digest and learn from your guys feedback. Let's say hypothetically you wanted to stay away from the turbo route. If one were to run the TRD S/C with the proper URD mods & water injection......... tossing in upgraded rods, pistons and proper headwork = what could one expect to see in the rwhp range?Racer_X said:I'd say about 1100... but why would you bother balancing a motor that is pretty well banced to begin with??? I can understand honing and extruding the head, the intake manifold, and the exhaust ports on the head, but why balancing?
ewwww.... I'm not that anal :doah:Gadget said:When you say blue printing, what exactly do you mean? To truely blue print an engine is a very involved process where the entire engine is remachined to very exact and precise standards well above OEM grade. Every deminsion of the engine is corrected and recorded and when it is done you should get a record of every single demension of the entire engine assembly. Do you need all of that?

probably 325 at most. the blower makes too much heat to really make good, good power. the most we've seen to date (correct me if i'm wrong fellas) is 305.steepleit said:Just throwing that out to digest and learn from your guys feedback.

I'm guessing the water injection is a bandage and not complete fix of the S/C heat?dropthattaco said:probably 325 at most. the blower makes too much heat to really make good, good power. the most we've seen to date (correct me if i'm wrong fellas) is 305.
You should be !...starting of with the crankshaft. Knife edge, "Castillo wing", micro-polished, balanced (of course) and blue printed...that should set you back around $1000. Then you go from there. Rods, cylinders, pistons and so forth. (it turns out very expensive) but your engine will definitely benefit (vibrations are reduced to a minimum, high tollerance everything)...the only thing: it's expensive.steepleit said:ewwww....
