It may be even easier than you think to get this 4 litre engine really pumping out the turbo HP. Basically the power is in the heads and the Lexus V8 top end is essentially two Toyota 2 litre four valve heads (Yamaha?). I suspect "bolt on" turbo pistons and rods would be easily sourced from the TRD parts bin.
It is also all alloy (very light), and minus accessories, it's small enough to fit in a 700mm cube - that is tiny by V8 standards. As you say, Anthony, the bottom end is bullet proof as it was built to last. It has a good lubrication system and it also spins to nine reliably, so the boat racers love them. Your not the only one looking at this donk. I know of one going in a hill climb special at the moment, the owner only wants 350 HP with low down torque. Nissan also builds a smaller all alloy V8 with twin turbos used for its LeMans cars - but not as cheap as a second hand Lexus V8 I suspect. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony La Malfa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 21 January 2002 8:44 AM Subject: Re: Check this out > Something I've always wanted to build is a Toyota Lexus Motor (QUAD CAM V8) > Twin Turbo.
