I' ve been considering this as my build progresses and it's something I want to do after I get the car on the road.... but something I want to do nonetheless. I don't want a terribly high investment but 200+ WHP would be a great feeling.... and this is where I'm looking for expertise outside of mine....
Internals are remaining factory Looking at going with a supercharger and I don't really like how "cluttered" the engine bay looks with a turbo .... it also isn't as "peaky" and should be more smooth to the power My initial thought is that I want to keep the stock ECU so I'm assuming I have to stay at about 5psi or so for this to happen? I'm frankly not sure what the stock beams ecu can handle as far as boost is concerned. Any thoughts? What are my best tuning options? I want something that is tunable and the toyota ecu not be able to change it (if that makes sense... these things are smart) I want to keep the CR stock as well. With a proper tune, and the low boost numbers it shouldn't be a big deal I don't think, just gotta watch for knock Keeping the boost low like that, I'm HOPING that the stock fuel pump is adequate to handle the increased load... More importantly the injector size of the BEAMS has been debated. The books say 340 cc while the bench test hat the guy did on Daniels injectors reported 400 cc flat. If they are 400cc, I don't think I'll need to upgrade those either... but again, I just don't know. My biggest questions at the moment are involved around ECU and the tuning, but any and all help would be appreciated --------------------  |

They could have made it out of aluminum.... you and I both know that. But from a cost standpoint i'm sure toyota said hey... we want the same block and we could make it out of aluminum, but that would mean re-making the dies etc etc.
I think of it as a more baller 1/2zz that doesn't burn oil, has better power and torque, and is a direct bolt it that has a really nicely flowing head that looks nice in the engine bay, and looks good with the red valvecover/intake manifold LOL just a motor smaay.... frankly I"m not impressed with 3.0L+ v6 only making 200 flywheel hp
