Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
Hmmm, if Toyota follows that time frame and deadline for that diesel engine I will probably be taught all the little ins and outs of it at UTI.
As for the supercharger on the 5.7l.
Its like putting a supercharger in a corvette, you might just kill yourself :P

A diesel LC or 4runner would be pretty sweet fyi.
whoa Lance, not true on the 900hp numbers of a diesel, their are cummins and powerstrokes out there running 1200hp and about 1900ftq
i can garuntee that.
but from the factory, no
Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
ok i should have clarified... factory stuff only.
anything aftermarket is possible.
Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
If they are going to use a modified version of the 7.68L I6 turbo diesel that is in the Hino, I could maybe see the torque getting up to 900. Probably around 400hp or so.
They should put the 4.5L twin turbo diesel that is overseas into the LCs, 4Runners, Sequoias, and 1/2 ton Tundras. Would be nice. :D
Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
Putting a charger on that engine would be a hoot.
If you were at the dealer here in town, it is laughable. I was test driving old double cab Tundras and sold the salesman on one of the new Tacomas, he was clueless.
A 900 HP stock factory diesel? That is a liability.
Even the hotrodded domestics that break 1k torque are not that high of HP numbers and calling them stock is a joke.
The kind of diesel that will allow the Tundra to take over the big truck market is not the kind you want in a Runner. Toyota has no reason to make diesels over here for a good long while.
Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
That is one hot go fast motor!!! That would be fun as a daily driver!
