Dealers continue to reveal secrets about future products.
A forum member ('jkchang') at Tundra Solutions, who apparently works for Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, was visited by reps from Toyota Racing Development (TRD) interested in discussing future product with sales staff on the frontlines. After the pipeline talk ended the TRD folks revealed a new Toyota Sequoia equipped with TRD's long anticipated supercharger bolted on its 5.7-liter iForce V8 - the same eight cylinder engine shared with the Tundra - sitting outside in the parking lot. jkchang says TRD claims it's rated at 504-horsepower. That's 123-horsepower more than the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8. No word on torque.
A story like this could be taken with a huge grain of salt, except jkchang also took pictures of what looks to be a legit TRD compressor on top of a 5.7-liter V8. And Toyota has previously stated its 5.7-liter TRD supercharger was rated at "around 500-hp" on its project trucks, like last year's Toyota Tundra Double Cab TRD Off-Road Concept.
PickupTruck.com sources at Toyota have told us the 5.7-liter supercharged Tundra has been clocked running the 1/4-mile in the mid-13s. They also say it will be the fastest vehicle in the Toyota lineup, excluding Lexus and, ahem, Scion.

Wow...nice! I wonder what kind of fuel injection setup they are using. 9th injector maybe? Or better yet, hopefully some larger injectors.
Very nice! I want one. :D

It would probably be pushing 900 ft-lbs if it was a diesel, not 900 HP.
That would still have to be a very healthy and well boosted diesel though.
Re: 504HP Toyota 5.7L TRD Supercharger
Toyota is working on a diesel engine based off of the Hino trucks for the Tundra slated for 2010 so he is accurate to some respect. He's definitely confused with the hp/torque numbers as there's no way a diesel would have 900 hp. Sadly Toyota won't be sharing this diesel engine with any other vehicle platform :(
A diesel LC or 4runner would be pretty sweet fyi.
