How much horsepower will a tc take?

[darcschlydendles]

Hi, im new to this site. Im a tech for toyota the 2az-fe motor can handle alot of power the block is rated to 400+ horsepower due the cyclinder walls being iron with a plastic block guard(still tryin to figure out y its plastic) and aluminum outer shell. the head is beast like. the biggest problem is the rods kinda suck but if ur pushin those number u gonna do internals. after that u basically need better head gasket and clutch

pretty much
once u build ur motor PROPERLY the motor will handle up to 1200 HP i was told
i dunno for sure
there is this turbo tC in english town with it .. i dunno if it has 1200 HP for sure
but it was said he cant go any higher

wow thats as much as the scion tc rado drag car i think..

[Soulbane]

What do you mean specifically by "building" the motor?

New internals? New head? Change to the block?

I'm seriously confused when people say "build the motor" details please!

[carboncrazytc]

lol same here we all have diff standars for the word "build"

[darcschlydendles]

as far a i kno the 2az-fe block sleeved can only handle like 500-600 hp.
as for building the motor most likely when you build the motor u get stronger rods and pistons, do head work like valves and valve springs and such, sleeve the block, stronger crankshaft and better camshafts. all this is kinda extreme on a tc though if u have the money to get the parts if avaliable
o and the tc drag car use the 4ag if i remember right which is a 2.7 from a tacoma but im for sure on the engine code or motor size but i think im right

[ac3 b00gi3]

pistons
connecting rods
main and engine bearings
bolts
studs
valve & springs
gaskets
etc.
u get the basic idea

all the milage on ur motor wont matter it may last up to 10 billion miles
depending on how u take care of it of course

its the same things but ur basically puting new ones plus there much stronger
the pistons are at a different compression ratio either for boost or for N/A

The Jotech Motorsports Q-Scion drag car runs the 2.7L block and is wicked fast in the high 7's. Kenny won't tell me the HP numbers though.
Jotech took their built 2AZ-FE block to 739WHP in the Nitto tC (same that posted 533WHP in 2005) running about 27~30+ PSI of boost. It is sleeved, new rods/pistons (not sure about Compression), mild head work, custom intake manifold, and Motech (AEM?) standalone.

ohhh i likey : )

[ac3 b00gi3]

u ?? im in love hahahaha

[KTeevan]

haha i say we all just sell everything we own except our tCs and we put every dollar into our car, this way we'll all be running 700+ whp tC's. we'll make a dynasty.

[carboncrazytc]

lol i like the way this guy thinks

[KTeevan]

so im officially homeless. 30,000whp tC here i come! ill run 1/8 second quarter miles

[ac3 b00gi3]

hahaha
waaaaay ahead of u
been livin in my car 3 weeks now
about to install my new microwave
