Shut up!
You go Boy!!!!!
what do ya figure a supercharged 2uz-fe makes in HP & torque?

The VVT-I version made 271HP / 315 ft-lbs, and this engine is a 2006 VVT-I variant. I've heard that the supercharger works and doesn't work. I'm completely willing to go to an aftermarket or pigggyback ECU to make it work.

I found a quote from the old TRD website

Supercharger, 4.7L V8, 2UZFE
HP & TORQUE GAIN
• Peak to peak gain: 112 HP gain (46%)
• Best gain: 118 HP @ 5,200 RPM (50%)
• Peak to peak gain: + 79 lb-ft torque (25%)
• Best gain: 119 lb-ft torque (50%)

but of course, this was the older non-VVT-I 2UZ-FE.

Assuming it runs, and assuming the gains are the same (With these results max hp would be 389 and max torque would be 434 lb-ft.
I'm assuming those are all SAE-net figures, at the flywheel. RWHP is probably 20-25% less.

Still, might be fun to take out the occasional Camero or Mustang, IDK.

Is bench-racing even a thing in the FJ55 world? :):pig::pig::pig:🏁

Not everything will have forced induction. @FJ60Cam is building a stroked (5.2L) 1fz-f (carb manifold with a sniper) for me, and I'm going to put it in the 45lv that @55guy built instead of the SBC that's in it now. That's probably next spring or summer.

Stock 1fz-fe is 100mm x 95mm for 4476.78cc of displacement. This one is 101mm x 108mm for 5191.69cc and I took the CR to 10:1. With the increased piston speed, compression, displacement and engine management(*), I figure it boogies away from a stoplight. Yes, it's "oversquare", but I don't plan to spin it past 6,000rpm, even though with the rods and rod bolts it would probably take a lot more.

Scene at a stoplight.
Them: "What's it got in it?"
Me: "It's stock."

* Cam has ignition control figured out with the Sniper, and the Sniper is likely at least as good at fuel management as the Toyota 1fz-fe system was, given that it's unchallenged by emissions, CAFE and 85 octane gas.

Since the 45LV is a 1966 model, CO emissions don’t matter. 😝 It’s probably cleaner than the F that originally came in the truck anyway.

I drove an ‘06 with the supercharger Slee built, don’t know the figures but it was noticeable 😎
I built a 97 for the kid. Somewhat limited by CO emissions (no turbos, no 5-speed, has to keep the MIL off), but I stuck a TRD supercharger on it, did the head gasket and PHH stuff, re-geared it to 4.56:1 and dropped a shift kit in it.

Passed CO emissions once he bought a gas cap for it.

Has 35s (thus the gears), ARB front w/ winch, Slee rear and sliders, dual batteries, aux tank, so it’s heavy. No rack because it won’t fit in his garage with one.

It’s not a drag race vehicle, but it moves fast enough for a 7000lb truck, and it goes up I-70 with traffic, so he can take it skiing.

I’m curious to see what the 40 does with the later 1fz-fe (coilpacked, longer intake, bit more compression), supercharger, 5-speed and 33s. It’s lighter, has fewer drivetrain losses, but geared a little bit taller.
 
2006 Tundra 2UZFE w/VVTi and TRD Supercharger 349RWHP @ 7psi

"Non-VVTi S/C converted to work on a VVTi model. Actually there is very little needed to make it fit. I bent a coolant pipe out of the way (rumor is one from an 04 or older will work too) , and relocated the air pump, that mounts under the Intake manifold."

349 RWHP... Heh heh.

With mine on since 2000 in my pig your numbers are super close to what i had down from dyno testing in late 2000, . a little head work and better ecu will get you just over 400 on the hp side . mine ended up way overloaded on the weight scale after all the gear was bolted on . But i would not trade the way it has performed over the years for anything . . in 20 years it has lost one coil , and has a frustrating wire issue (resolved ) . other than that it has just been gas and go .
